    Manhattan 400-550 boxes

    Hi Guys
    a yank from Vegas making my first post here.
    just learned about the st 400-550 boxes and find i sure could use one to push my 3+meter dish.10'us
    my questions are is it a good actuator mover and how is the blind scan ?
    i would be using it for just live sports feeds.

    thanks alot

    ps. do you have any other brands that will push a big dish and scan dvb ?

    yes will move you're dish ok also blind scan is fine but sd only with 2 ci slots ans irdeto card reader also hard drive can be installed internally the 550 has 36v positioner as well as the 450 not sure about the other models just to add with a v box converter most receivers will move the dish for you consider the azbox for feeds in 4.2.2 format on it's own in this field in the domestic receiver market exept for the quality tv receiver but not recomended

    thanks satwyn
    had a azbox for 7 months now and like it alot.
    not a fan of the v box know of one that caught fire, thus the interest in older boxes.
    so no other Euro boxes that move Big dishes were made ?

    hi guys
    well got a st-450 seems to work ok.
    could use a manual anyone have it ?
    asked the mfg but no luck so far.
    a 500 or 550 would work.
    BIG THANKS
