Blind search HD?

[oldjiver]

I think finding feeds for football may become more of a neccessity in future so I am trying to find out which HD recievers do a blind search. I know the Technomate 6900HD doesnt which is a disappointment, but blind search is not mentioned in the deatails of many HD recievers I have looked at.
Does anyone have any info please??

The only HD receiver that does blindscan is the Vantage8000. As for the actual performance of it´s blindscan...well that´s hard to say, I honestly have not seen any really detailed comments or tests yet.

[oldjiver]

Yes, I have just spotted the Vantage 7100 which is a bit cheaper, just looking for reviews.

[Eugenie]

No, the 7100 has a software blindscan, the 8000 has a hardware blindscan. It´s the 8000s that might be interesting.

I read a review (somewhere) that said the vantage blind scan picked up 700 channels compared to the Technomate 6900 900.
I am confused?????????

[oldjiver]

Anothe site gives the Techno 6900 as having blind search.
Even more confused.?

I think you'll find the 'auto navigation' procedure does the blind search.

Just sent off for Technomate 6900S has blind search and 2 USBs

Technomate 6900S does not have blind search. There was an apology on the Technomate website for the mistake in the manual.

[Trogen]

He's referring to the newly released TM6900 Super, which does have blind search and RF mod, 2 USB's, LAN, eSATA, etc.

This is the receiver that Technomate told me:Yes, "it's in the works though no dates have been confirmed yet." and " Sorry, we have not been given any further info. " on the 2nd September!

It looks like an excellent spec. I am really looking forward to my birthday now:willy_nilly:
