Good receiver for feeds?

I am compelled to reply. For the 'best' tuner. One that has been proven and actual advancements in performance of the driver for it.

You cannot go wrong with the Availink AVL6261. The Edision OsMio series shared it as well and the Octagon SF8008.

It would be nice if the actual tuner chipsets were shown on manufacturers and retailer sites.

For pluggable tuners. "Your choice of tuners" with vague descriptions of the actual components would be nice.

The two receivers above have really good hands-on reviews. If blindscanning is important (is to me). The SF8008 is the new kid in town.

There may be other receivers that share the same tuner chipset. The Octagon does fall short of the advertised sr specs. And has been proven/

Yes. The best possible signal you can get from your dish is important. There is a threshold of signal strength where a receiver will lock onto a signal.
Not to say the signal is not there in the first place. Think of an FM radio with muting button. Unless the signal is strong enough to limit poor signal audio hiss, the radio will not show it is tuned. Press the muting defeat and you can get weaker signals. But more noise associated with them.
Our receiver's don't have a muting button. So the best possible weak transponder signal is important.

In several versions of openvix I have been using on my osmiok4. Blindscanning satellites has been pretty good. Still a few known transponders are missed.

There is The North American Project, TNAP. A tailored image modeled from openpli. A bit stripped down for the new Enigma 2 user.

With choices of different tuner drivers. From the stock one that performs better than the vix driver. Another that gives very thorough scans.
The transponders that were missed in vix were found with TNAP.
What's even better is that the TNAP drivers can be copied into vix. And all of a sudden those missed transponders in scanning pop up. Pretty cool.

There is a selection of drivers in the feed. One is tailored for low Signal Rates. Another for T2-MI. They all work in vix. The low SR driver is slow but quite thorough.

Folks like VU+ with pluggable tuners or ones soldered in receivers that do not specify the actual main tuner chip should.
The Octagon SF8008 Supreme will be my next receiver unless Edision releases a successor to the OsMio series. A TBS PCIe card afterwards.

....and "some" folks call this useless banter and gibberish. boy, are they wrong!
