Hi again badman56,
a few audio only strange feeds
If there is sound only and the feed is not encrypted... this will probably be a feed that uses the 4:2:2 codec system for transmission...
feedhunting is great isnt it
Yes it is mate... but it would be even better if the 'Blind Search' scanner worked properly/accurately... and the feed scanning process would be even better if you could screen out most of/all of the regular bouquet frequencies which usually use the very high symbol rates...
The 'Blind Search' scanner on the earlier SD (Standard Definition) Technomate receivers were great for feedhunting as you could screen out all of the very high symbol rates... as an example... these are the 'Blind Search' scanner settings as they appear in my TM 5400 CI+ USB (SD)
TP: 10.700 ~ 12.750
Polarity: V/H/ALL
Mode: TV/FREE/ALL
S/R Search
7.5 MS/s Over
7.5 MS/s Under
3.7 MS/s Under
Why on earth can't these/similar 'Blind Search' scanner settings be incorporated into the newer generation Technomate receivers...? Only Technomate and their engineers/software writers know the answer to this one... but they are not telling...
I can see only two possibilities...
(1) The Technomate engineers/software writers are no longer capable/experienced enough to incorporate this feature into the Hardware/Firmware/Software.
(2) They can't be bothered because they think it's not that important to have a really good 'Blind Search' scanner feature on their receivers.
I believe that the answer lies in the second option... personally I am getting rather frustrated with the newer generation Technomate receivers... and especially with Technomate's attitude to their customers and the ever diminishing support for their receivers... I think that it might be time that I moved on to something better ...something which has virtually everything I want from a receiver...

@technomate
I have always bought your products and I have been a loyal customer for the last 8 years or more... but unless things change dramatically... I can't see myself buying any more...
Lastly... why can't someone from the Technomate heirachy come onto the forum and just tell us all what the situation is...?
@all
Sorry for having another rant... but it seems like things are never going to change... are they...?
