    None of the current HD receivers are much to shout about.

    All have bugs of some kind.

    Yes at present the kathrein can't scan the new HD channels with a FEC of 8PSK 3/4 without crashing, I hope this will be fixed soon.
    Also it needs quite a lot of effort to get auto diseqc working but it works as a client very easily from gbox group and I have successfully used sbcl and vplug on a PC working with newcamd to test the SV "HQ" channel (which is crap lol)
    I haven't seen many other HD receivers to compare picture but the Kathrein upscales SD far better than my dreambox 7020.

    It should be very straightforward to load a new image from a USB stick, download mgcamd and keys once you are online and change the config for it to work as a client. That is if everything goes OK lol

    No it is teed off a dreambox 7020 on my LAN, the next step when I get time will be to try to make a USB/serial card reader work so that it could become a server.
    At the moment mgcamd clears the usual channels internally and these are shared back to the 7020 etc.
    Not really a manual to do this but a good bit of information out there.
