Re: Icon S550 Receiver Review.
optional channel surfing methods:

additional stream info.a much appreciated feature for us fta fans:

one button signal menu screen with status bars and audio tone.a great feature:

not much in the way for music fans here.a nice background pic and nice screen saver,but no artist/song title etc to be found,like most stbs:

the main menu.as you can see,its very nice and easy to navigate:

ah,one of the best searching tools,if not the best searching method available in an fta receiver.the mighty search by event,onscreen key pad.
and a total thumbs up in the way this one works as well.
first of all,the searches are instant,still not sure how they make this unit go so fast.but there is no delay at all.whats better,the event names are saved,and each search is seamed into the regular themes menu,with complete status time bar and all.very nice! there is simply no better way to find that football game, that favorite movie,or other event than this convenient feature.enter event name,press ok,find the event,select it,and watching it, all within literally 10 seconds or less!

example of setting the menu bar transparency to solid.but window transparency to completely 100%.nice little touch for user prefs.we love these additional user settings:

great support.
great hardware.
great overall software.
great features.
user friendly,but has enough advanced tools for even the most advanced fta tester.
support by the famous bl team,but on a modern system.that's a great combo.
a great stb for the entertainment system for sure.
if your looking for an upgrade,or another stb to expand your entertainment system.this one comes highly recommended from your buddy arboristman.
