azbox minime-my opinion

[ro_54]

Very slow machine (slower then s9 or amiko with 2 boot process). Pic quality way bellow nfhd or amiko.
gets locked if you try to stop a scan no matter what option: yes or no, just keeps scanning indeffinitly.
to stop it must be unplugged and after that you loose some saved info (coordinates, etc)
menu is very big and complicated. does miss lot of transponders (tested on ku band only) found even by nfhd.
for the price it is a mistake. do not buy it.

I have 2 azbox receivers-Premium+ and an Ultra. Both are very sloww in the scanning process but nothing beats there picture quality and of course they open all 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 feeds. Watching a 4:2:2 CBS feed on Galaxy 19 at the moment-PGA golf.

Yes, very slow scanning process. For no reason, minime does not find RTV on 83w, while even cw700, or captain7000 can find it!
It looks like the tuner has less sensitivity than s9, x2 or amiko.
Pic quality I do not see it even close to amiko or nfusion hd. Maybe other generations of azbox have better pic.
Well, maybe next file will fix and improve this little box.

With the new released bin the box is more stable.
Still takes long time to go into antenna set up if the active sats list it to long (mine is 23)
1 out of 5 times of power up the box does not start. need to unplug/plugin the power to come on.
