Hi Guys,

Well it finally arrived. It got lost and sent around the state but finally did get here. It's not a cheap and nasty plastic box but a metal case with plastic front. Build quality is very nice. Remote is a little plastic-ky but still not bad and I think well laid out. Has SVideo and composite out as well as RS232 for upg. Bit late and dark outside so I have only scanned Pas8 which my dish is pointed at at the moment. All I did was set the LNB, turn the positioner setting off and scan. It appears to of found everything. The test will be tomorrow when I move the dish to C1 and and see if I can change the PID for Aljazeera. First impressions though are very good. I'm no expert but happy with it for the price and I will post an update as I get more familiar.

It's a little wider than my Strong but not as deep and sits a little higher only because of the large feet.
I just did a picture quality compare between my 2 boxes and only using composite output and it's very good. I was only comparing DWTV.
