So after than i want to review it. & want to tell some bugs so be manufactures can fix it.. I am test latest firmware 556 (24.05.2017) I am a big satellite lover & used too many receivers yet.

All other function & hardware of the receiver working fine as their describe. Big problem is that Keys AutoRoll Not working (Even working on cheap indian solid stb) On some tp is automatic detect keys on 1st time. Entering of biss keys & CCCam was too good. No same sid bug on biss on this. But problem is it every time need to enter secret code to eneter in CS protocol setting. User bore to enter that. Imports & exports keys also working fine from usb. Playback & recording of DVR working well. Have little bug m tell u. this stb a big bug on pvr pictures playback. Can not to play pictures show clearly. it some big unwanted boxes on pictures. On Tp list function it is always go to a default tp not on present satellite. so need to be fixed. DVB s2 working well m not getting Any DVB T2 channel on Yamal 90 East.

Working good all dishqc switches Disadvantage of the receiver Bugs Need To Be Fixed In latest version 1. To much tuff UI 2. UI Not stylish 3. No large signal bar on double click on channel (Every receiver have that function most usable for a satellite tracker) 4. Big problem is that Keys AutoRoll Not working some time (Even working on cheap Indian solid stb) stable on latest firmware. 5. No File Manager 6. Media player -> music player -> No forward & backward option available for music player 7. Audio output is not proper as some distortion in audio. (Fixed In latest firmware.) 8. No user color setting available like contrast brightness setting. 9. Record only .ts format, no .MP4 or .mp3 recording available. (Only audio) 10. No snapshot take facility or short key as some keys empty.* (*Some keys working only on pvr) 11. Hanged on play tp recorded ts 12.

Satellite TV dish installation has gotten way easier compared to how it used to be. Nowadays, anyone with zero knowledge of how satellite tv works can read a guide or watch a video to learn about satellite Tv installation. All thanks to Sat-tracker/Sat-Finders for making things easier and faster.
Both professionals and noobs in the satellite dish installation need a good and versatile satellite finder/tracker. For the professionals, it will make their work easier and speedier. As for the noobs, they would have a less strenuous experience moving forward learning how to track a dish. It is also very important to buy a satellite finder What supports HD/MPEG-4 codec. Obviously, we are gradually moving away from s2/mpeg-2 coded channels.
With time, suppliers will stop producing MPEG-2 only sat-finders and focus fully ones that can also track HD channels. Here, I present to you two All-In-One/Standalone satellite TV finders that can be used to nail HD channels(these sat finders is also backwards-compatible with MPEG 2 and MPEG 4 channels).
Suffice to say that we have other cheaper Satellite finders that can outperform the ones listed here. Unfortunately, these new ones are Bluetooth sat-finders and they rely on your phones to function. Examples of modern Bluetooth sat-finders are “hellobox B1 and smart S2”. The two great satellite finders under review are; Freesat V8 and satlink WS-6916. The superior choice is definitely the satlink but the v8 simply does almost what 6916 is capable of doing.Let us see how the to go head to head. These two very useful tools share so many things in common like HD channels tracking capabilities, backwards-compatibility, LCD screen and so on.
