I don't like having sats that are scrambled so I prefer to run the FTA scan only. I have found that on some occations, the powerscan would get additional FTA stations that aFTA scan would not get. Has that happened to anyone else?
Hey Vitruvius, I agree in that I have found TPs with PowerScan that the FTA only scan did not find. My conclusion that PS is slower, and more thorough than FTA only scan. I guess I then should delete the encoded channels to reduce space in the receiver's memory ?
