  • Power scan - yes
  • Ethernet connection - maybe, but not likely at this stage.
  • OTA ATSC HD - that will be launched later as a different product (needs a separate tuner from the satellite tuner)
All the "yes" answers above are what the engineers are working on, but as I said, I can't confirm they will be in the first version.
Sticking with the OTA ATSC HD. Will the new receiver allow the Fortec OTA HD receiver to pass the HD output through the ant input of the sat receiver? Will you be able to program the remote to operate both boxes?

I have quite a collection of "boxes" and remotes so any trimming down that I can do of either is a wonderful thing to me.
