Abortistman,
Thanks for this detailed and informative review. I appreciate you taking the time to get involved and familiar with the X1 and I don't want to take away from anything you've posted here. I simply want to clarify a few things about the X1 so users can get the most out of their X-Factor. I'm not an expert or a ego head, just a guy who works closely with these receivers.

I wanted to clear up a few simple facts and procedural challenges that you faced in your testing prior to and maybe even during, your review.

First, the logo file loading option via USB, is not for adding channel logos. It's for adding a custom logo file to the box that is displayed during the boot up process and it probably won't be available for much longer.
Also, the autoroll feature has been defaulted off, until recently, to conserve resources during times of heavy EMMs. On current BINs it has been defaulted to on.
Next, I noticed that you scanned using the Detailed option. This isn't necessary when you're just scanning DN or B3V. The preset scan is extremely fast and accurate.
Lastly, you said... "I found that a click on and off of the back switch starts the tv picture rolling, only way to stop it is to hold down the center button until it clears. It did this on the 2 tv's I tried it on" This generally happens with the factory file as the X1 scans for NTSC output. It shouldn't happen but once.

Thanks,
X-2U
