I have benn playing with it and the learning curve needs to come in anytime now. Hard to figure out but I am getting it done. I have it slaved to my 5000. and forgot to turn off the 5000 before a scan on 97 and only got 72 channels. Then later i thought it must only have 72 H channels. I am slow but I am getting old too. LOL!!!!!!

Thanks guys

My Azbox adapter did the same.
I scavenged a cord from my old Norelco. No adapter needed!

You really don't need an adapter for the Azbox power cord. I just cut the euro plug off and installed a 69 cent lamp-cord plug. Works great and one less thing to go wrong.

I had an old cord laying around from another piece of electronics that doesnt exist
