    PVR Can Record in SD But NOT HD - is there a Fix for this?

    People say that the limitation is bitrates over ~ 20Mbps, but I'm not sure how universal this is. I'm guessing that it depends a bit on the hard drive used, and the format of the video. I have ALMOST gotten some video to playback which had bitrates up close to 25 MBps, but other times had...

    Adding Channels Manually

    I think I have a different take on this than Ice. I pretty much do what is described above except that : STEP 3 is NOT requirred. STEP 5 PCR PID-VPID I left the PMT PID at 0, since there IS NO PMT PID Enter ANYTHING for the SIDs, as long as they are all different. STEP 8...

    New azbox software out

    How are you connected to the internet to get email? Does your computer have an ethernet connection? Ie looks like a modular telephone connection, but 8 lines instead of 2, 4 or 6. If you have that, you can connect direct to the Azbox via a reversing cable. Re the file, they are big...

    New azbox software out

    I'm using 0.9.4931 , and the stereo issue is still there, and I'm pretty sure that the gray blacks issue is too, as it was there the last time I checked about a month or two ago. The gray black thing seems to be due to the chip set, because my PopCornHour does the same thing (I think it is...

    Frustrated with Ultra and DiSEqC 1.2

    Of course you don't have to use the 198.168.x.xxx subnet. None of the devices on my LAN are on that subnet, including my Azbox. Of course, for people who have let their router pick subnets for them it will probably be in this range, but I'm stubborn, and alway use other subnets. :-) It...

    AZbox Guide Stores Channels in Alphabetical Order, Can this Be Changed?

    OH, OK. So we're talking about the same menu (which is different from the "guide"). It also explains why the yellow button didn't do anything for me, because I was already AT the default. I never noticed the red button changing it to alphabetic. That could be handy at times. When I saw...

    AZbox Guide Stores Channels in Alphabetical Order, Can this Be Changed?

    I must admit that I'm confuse both by the question and the answer. Re the question, I'm confused relative to just which screen you are looking at? None of the screens I use on my Azbox list channels in alphabetical order, so I"m confused. You mention "guide", and I"m not sure why anyone would...

    Q? RE: Networking my PC with my AZBox

    Ignore what I said then when I said I didn't think about wireless access, I was just assuming you were hard wired to the Azbox. I hardwired my Azbox (only choice on Elite), although a couple of my computers do use wireless access. My main router is a WRT54G2. I have the wireless...

    Frustrated with Ultra and DiSEqC 1.2

    It shouldn't matter what order you save them in. I generally save my most watched sats first, then save the others. So that sounds strange to me that saving the 3rd sat messes up the first two. Does the setup still have those sats labeled as P1 and P2? Those positions are saved on the...

    Q? RE: Networking my PC with my AZBox

    I have firewall turned off on my computers, and generally rely on my routers for protection, although it varies, depending on which router and which internet connection I'm using. So I'm no help relative to configuring a firewall. I wouldn't expect the router firewall to affect communication...

    azbox elite image/kernel

    I just continued to read a bit further in that thread, and saw some things that I had missed the first time through (that thread was SOOOO big, that it was easy to miss posts). What I just noticed was that the OP'er DID say that this improved recording/playback of high bitrate stuff. This...

    Frustrated with Ultra and DiSEqC 1.2

    You can probably trust the MOTOR as far as USALS is concerned, however you can't trust ANY receiver to send the motor the proper USALS angle. This was discussed in a thread several months ago. Sorry, I forget the name of the fellow who was discussing this mainly with me, but he gave results...

    azbox elite image/kernel

    OK, just for general info, and perhaps this can encourage people who have a bit more time on their hands than I do to try this, I found the thread I was referring to above, however it was over on Rick's forum. Look at message867 in the VERY LONG thread : Azbox Elite HD - Ricks...

    azbox elite image/kernel

    I'm just guessing here, but it seems to me that the OS isn't on the module or on ROM, the OS is the firmware that you put on the thumb drive. What apparently IS on ROM, on this and most other STBs, is a very basic loader program that will load the OS, and less common apparently a program that...

    Q? RE: Networking my PC with my AZBox

    Additional comments.... If you're FTP'ing to the Azbox, then your network is probably already functional, although personally I prefer to set everything up with static IP#s. I use Windows XP and/or Windows 2000 and Windows-2000 server or Win98 on most of the computers on my LAN, some have...

    azbox elite image/kernel

    There was a post somewhere (not sure if here or over in the Rick's forum) 5 or 6 months ago, from a fellow who put a hard drive (I think unformatted, but I'm not positive without going back to my notes) into the Azbox in that IDE connector you mentioned, although I think the hard drive had to...

    How do you FTP Files To AZbox

    Yes, that's the program I use. I think I'm using a version 4.01 that I've been using ever since I was running Windows 95, and think it's one of the easiest programs to use. Just put the IP# of your Azbox in the Host Name box, put root in the User ID box, and azbox in the Password box. I...

    Transfer DVDs to your AZBox HDD

    Just go into the File Manager (on the Axbox), and select "Network", and it will pop up your LAN, and list any directories that you have shared on your network (or your computer if you only have the one computer). If you have a video file that the Azbox is capable of playing, just highlight it...

    Transfer DVDs to your AZBox HDD

    Just to once again propose an alternative way of viewing video using the file manager, I usually don't bother to move anything TO the Azbox, but instead, I use the file manager to pull up the directories on my PCs where I have stored all sorts of movies, and videos from DVDs, recordings from...

    Is Galaxy 16 - 97.0W Off The Air?

    Yesterday, I was fine tuning my dish a bit, and went to G19 (C-band). Couldn't find ANYTHING on the transponders I normally tune. I switched to Ku, and found transponders. Went back to C-band, and did find one transponder that seemed weaker than normal. Tuned in G3C and G16, and got good...

    AzboxEdit Uploading Problems with Premium Plus

    :) Yeah, I'm not happy with the power service, but living in a heavily wooded area, where the power poles snake through tree limbs, I realize that it's next to impossible for the power company to keep the service up. The power lines snake through tree limbs, and also, the roads are narrow and...

    AZBox CLEAN SLATE

    First of all, thanks for the above. It did explain one question I had relative to directories that don't get removed on firmware upgrade/application area format. However I do have issues with your two patch file thing. My feeling is that anyone who isn't able to figure out the full filename...

    AzboxEdit Uploading Problems with Premium Plus

    I understand the logic of what you recommend, however I tried that once or twice and had problems using that option. Unfortunately, I can't remember what the problems were, but it impressed me enough that I decided that I'm never going to use that shutdown method again. But for me, the big...

    AzboxEdit Uploading Problems with Premium Plus

    What's happening? Just to be clear, you don't upload the .xml file to the Azbox, you have to use the .xml to create DVBS.dat and antenna_list.dat , and FTP THOSE files to the Azbox. Also, after doing that, I think you should reboot the Azbox via the switch on the back. If that's what you're...

    have your own satlist

    I didn't recommend changing the name of any satellite. If you have the sats you want, just leave the names as they are. But that wasn't what I was referring to when I mentioned changing names. What I was referring to, is if you go to that web page that generates the .xml files, you get a...
