Happy new year everyone. I got the blade 8000 a few days ago, and I need to give you my perspective on this box. This box is different from the 7000. It has a different menu, and a different tuner. From the way the blade media web site described this receiver , they made it sound identical to the 7000( that's misleading ) . This box is identical to the technomate m3 in picture quality, blind scan , and preformance.
blindscan on this box is fast and accurate , but I find the tuner is less sensitive than the blade 7000 combo.
picture quality ( in my opinion ) doesn't come close to the 7000 combo. It's not as sharp and vibrant as the 7000.
also, as of now, there's no iptv on this box.
now, I'm not saying it's a bed receiver, it's good for the money, but my advice is: if you have a blade 7000, don't get rid of it ( they just don't make them like this any more).

Sorry for the thread typo( stupid iPad). I just meant to say blade 8000. I'm not able to correct the title.
