Tuner #1 is the tuner that I am using currently, so that is good that it is the SHARP tuner for Blind Scanning then. I am investigating the Blind scan mode now. It did pull in several feeds from Galaxy 16, but the TPs could have already been in the list, so I cannot say if it added a hot TP or just scanned what was already listed. I would have to factory reset the box and write down the TPs listed, then rescan to see if it does indeed pick up new TPs.
It is a bit of a quirky machine. One thing that I do not care too much for is that when you are using a DiSEqC switch, you have to set the switch port up properly at the first initial entry, because it will not allow you to alter it later unless you factory reset the box and start from scratch.
Also, the first four selections for DiSEqC port assignments are A, B, C, D and then it moves on to 1, 2, 3..... etc. You need to utilize the alpha letter assignments and not the numeric port numbers. The numeric port assignments must be for a multiswitch use????
It is also a pain as you have to navigate to several menus in order to set up one individual satellite. It isn't laid out very nicely in this regard.
It does update the firmware quite nicely through the ethernet port connected to my router, but you have to verify the size of the firmware file first. If it is a large file - and I am not certain of the dividing line - the buffer in the receiver doesn't like it and it will lock up or overrun the buffer. You need to use the USB port with a flash drive for the large files (which is what another person recommended) but I perceive that the RS232 or ethernet would work, you just have to download the file to your PC instead of the STB's buffer.
