[SuperSat]

Azbox HD, Spiderbox 900HD or Spiderbox 700HD which one to choose?
I have a technomate 6800HD and I want to upgrade!
which one would you advise me to buy?

[owenb]

can i ask why u want to upgrade mate ? i was thinking of getting a 6800 thats all

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

AzBoX HD Premium, it has WiFi and is very much more like a media centre compared to the other 2, it Runs CCcam, server and client or can be used with MultiCas. Support isnt the best in the world but the support it has now is sufficient enough.

to get some 4:2:2 feeds and to unlock more hd channels

[bugaloo41]

may be marketing but i have heard that spiderbox is excellent for 4:2:2 feeds.

the azbox sounds like a decent box but it appears to have had teething problems. if its only for feeds though you dont need to spend the price of an azbox.

[satsid]

Azbox will do 4.2.2 feeds,spiderbox iv not read does them?(maybe someone could tell us more)Format resolution Azbox is better than others iv seen,For Hd this is better in long run.Format resolution i sure will change in time on some HD channels.Can see people getting catch out here in time.Dont forget the thanks button you heard this from me first .

Satsid from William 1 - helpful if someone with one could give their opinion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SD Blind scan receiver~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know full well the capabilities of the Standard Definition Vantage X2 series as i have had one for a couple of years in my opinion the Plaza ST series is a better blind scan receiver as for the other SD blind scan receivers the TM1000 & TM5000 series are also good & the FortecStarUltra is not bad but the Plaza ST also gives fec that I need for satellite chart compilations,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~HD Blind scan receivers~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The best HD blind scan receiver for some time has been the TM6900HD it was was the best available when it was released much better than the Vantage HD 7100TS-CI that I tested & sent back due to poor software back up very slow blind scan & other issues with the receiver,
Now after testing the Spiderbox 9000HD I began to realise how much better this receiver is with the best software backup & a brilliant blind scan with blind scan steps of 2-4-6-8 & 10 MHz steps recently 48 hours after I tested mine last week the Darkman released the new software that allowed any selected part of the Ku band or C band to be scanned

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Blind scan speeds~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You cannot compare an SD blind scan receiver with a HD receiver the Spiderbox 9000 HD can scan 250MHz {10.95GHz to 11.2GHz or 12.5GHz to 12.75GHz in 6 minutes @ 8 MHz compared with the Vantage HD 14 minutes & the TM6000HD Super series in just over 5 minutes but as I also mentioned earlier the Spiderbox gives you more detailed info for loading onto a 4:2:2 receiver such as the AZBox quicker than with other HD blind scan receivers that give you very little information.

Hi m8,i know william & iv been a feedhunter longer,i did the section he doing before william,he took it over when i left als*t.I try help here if its blind scan.William said that spiderbox for scanning,then load into Azbox to view 4.2.2. that sounds to me that spiderbox does not do 4.2.2.My point was on feeds 4.2.2 & Format resolution.The Azbox beats spiderbox here on Format resolution,be hard to get better Format resolution than Azbox ATM.With Format resolution this is what you need to look out for,576i (480i), 576p (480p), 720p, 1080i, and 1080p,thats what Azbox does.Check out what the spiderbox does here,its less.So my point is feeds will use all sorts of Format resolution & pay tv providers could well follow to stop the hacker watching.So some receiver could be left on the shelf quicker than you wanted.IE could well end up paying for a new receiver that does better Format resolution.Vantage X2 (mpeg2)is as good as any other receiver for that,why,it scans both hor & vers @ the same time,Also tuner right up thier with the better blind scan receivers.Vantage HD 7100TS was about the first HD blind scan receiver on the market,so later blind scan receiver will improve.Vantage later bought out the HD-8000s with twin tuner,i have this myself.its not a bad receiver,tuner quite good.Media settings iv never used a better receiver for saving channels lists.Most receiver have good & bad points to them.Now william will say whats best for alsh^t to sell if im asked.Guess he has to,as he a mod on their.Azbox HD, Spiderbox 900HD or Spiderbox 700HD sou alsat push them all,sound abit like a selling line.In away i did not like getting the Azbox coz of Alsat,but what it does on 4.2.2 & Format resolution i did.ps what does william say on Format resolution,i can tell you next to nothing .

Added on Blind scan

Speed & how farst a scan is not needed to much on quite a few birds.There others ways to make your scans quick here,you dont have to scan the hole bird to find feeds.Most blind scan receivers today we can enter the frequency by remote.If you scan 10e your going to break your scan down like this 12507 to 12750 as an example,other wise your wasting time in your scans.My point is you dont need the quickest blind scan if you know your frequencys on satellites,it can be abit of a myth on speed.

I would go for the AZbox.

WIFI, 4:2:2 , CCcam, dual receivers.

What do you mean by dual receivers? Is it connecting to 2LNBs at the same time?
I looked at the prodcut spec, and it does not say dual receiver.
