New FTA satellite receiver model coming out in UK

[N5XZS]

In UK, there's a exotic new FTA satellite receiver called GigaBlue UHD quad 4K, with Full Band Capture "FTC" with small TFT video display on the receiver's box.

Little pricey at £ 249 Pounds.

UHD is dying. Only UHD feed on satellite is Love Nature on 43w. FOX doesn't even do 4k backhauls anymore . They Upconvert from 1080p

Haven't dug into the specs yet but definitely a nice looking receiver.

Forget it guys, it doesn't have a proper working blindscan: GigaBlue UHD UE 4K TNAP-4 Image - Discussion

That's a shame. Looks like a very promising unit.

But can it be preprogrammed for blind scan ability?

 

[N5XZS]

Well that's a shame...

I believe from what I've read is FBC tuners and blindscan don't play well together.
Like my Zgemma H7. I just copy blindscan xml transponders into the satellites.xml file from my osmio.

I would not buy a receiver without good blind scan in North America since that is key to the hobby. But I can see in Europe or Asia where people just want a consumer box and all channels are known that such a receiver could sell if it receives those known channels well.

No.

not even... Love Nature 4K was removed from the mux sometime last week :-( (the HD version was still there though)

so as far as I know, the only 4K stuff left that is FTA is NASA on 127W, and maybe some channels on 45W that I can't get from here in the NorthEast.

NASA is no longer on 45w. I didn't know that about Love Nature, thanks

Love Nature 4K moved to the HD feed. The feeds reversed a few weeks ago and now the HD feed is gone

I don't think so... it says 4K on the logo but my OSMIO4K says it's MPEG4 and 1080 lines resolution, rather than HEVC and 2160, and it still scans in as Love Nature HD.
