But can you lock your TM on these TPs 10964H 10994H 11052H 11127V and 11024H these are from astra 2F @ 28.2E?

I can with the hummy ( fair weather with pixellation ) but not with the TM.

The tuner sensitivity hype was why I bought the TM ( maybe it`s a lemon ).

No I can`t and nor on my old IPbox 9000 but some weeks ago on this STB.
At the moment I get the signal from 2F on my Satlink WS-6918P. The LNB is a quad Invacom and I do the tests close to dish(1.5m cable) to get the best results.

The TM 5402 tuner sensetivety is good but not the best, as the readings are even better on the IPbox?

Thanks for your reply regarding TM tuner sensitivity not just me then.

Will wait and see if I can get more info about other boxes with sensitive tuners ( for real ) the skybox F series looks promiseing but I need more details.

The problem you face with the 5402 M2 version is that there are literally only 3 firmware versions available for it at the moment and any of these could affect Tuner sensitivity maybe a Tuner driver problem been over looked perhaps, Where as the Original 5402 has over 35 firmwares available for it so more to test and play with so to speak. What i do know is that they are working on a new firmware which includes the UPC emulator so maybe hang fire and wait for that.

The only other receiver i could recommend would be the Dr HD series again these are rebadged TM,Blade receivers so i would have thought same tuner would be used but they do have very different firmware.

As for the Diseqc 1.2 problem you could have downloaded your channel list from the 5402 via USB and edited it with Clarke Tech studio editor and entered your Positioner numbers in manually to the corresponding satellite in the list save and then re-upload via USB, This is how i do it on mine

Thanks for everyones imput you`ve all been most helpful regarding the TM.

However I have reverted to the hummy until I can get more and better info regarding tuner sensitivity with other boxes ( heard the sharp tuner does the biz , but which one ).

Will close this thread as it has served it`s purpose with my queries.

Regards

Ps I did not report the off topic posts on this thread as Ech maybe will confirm
