Thread: Openbox S9 vs Manhattan RS-1933

I'll try on my Manhattan later, I don't have the Western half of the arc located yet on my new 1.2m dish.

Same results on my Manhattan. I'm on the original civilian issue FW.
I'm getting 7 other TP's but only at 65%. What are yours looking like?

11760 V is at 73%
11856 V is at 71%
12000 V is at 73%
12124 H is at 65%
12131 V is at 63%
You see the pattern .

My openbox does not scan in anything with a low SR. Every low SR channel I have needed to be manually entered. IE: FSTV, and all of the Mexican networks on 99w C with low SR's.

Manhattan can record two programs on the same transponder while watching another

I dont remember the Openbox doing that (recording 2 streams on the same transponder)

Update: Openbox allows you to record up to 2 programs on the same transponder while watching a 3rd. Not sure who knows about this but I just did it a couple minutes ago. Used 1 tb Hitachi drive.

I never saw this feature on my OpenBox S9 receiver.
