Re: Icon S550 Receiver Review.

clean out channels fast and easy with powerful and easy to use channel delete menu:



has the very important event timer feature,a necessity for using external recording device,such as dvd burner,or tv tuner-pc multimedia setups
it also has on the fly in epg scheduling as well with push of a button while in epg mode(this not shown in screen below however):


addition features/user preferences can be found here,a nice assortment:


more user preferences:


this stb is equipped with blind scan.a very important scan method not needed for dn/bev birds,but all you fta fans looking for wild feeds:


nice manual entering of tps to scan those missing channels,or enter a tp manually that you is often hot:


a nice powerful sat scan,with easy to navigate and understand scan method,VERY fast sat scans.fastest scans iv seen with any stb to date.seconds only.no waiting around for a minute or more with this super fast scanner:


nice easy to understand motor controls.
works wonderful with emp 8x1 via diseqc 1.2 as well:


easy to navigate antenna setup menu.nothing fancy here however,simply enter your settings manually and ready to scan:
a disappointment for diseqc 1.1 fans,though the unit supports 1.1 via factory files,this support was removed with 3rd party support at this time.though not many users who need 1.1,its a huge issue for those who do.we can only hope for the return of 1.1 from the d1 group:
