    AMIKO Amiko Mini HD SE and NBC Ku on 103w

    I've been looking for a second receiver that would work with the Slingbox and recently went ahead with the Amiko Mini HD SE after I found a custom remote BIN file on the Place Shifting Enthusiasts forum. No connection to the internet yet, but I like the fast responsiveness/snappy menus and...

    Another Reason To Buy an Amiko Mini HD SE

    Looking to get another satellite box... Does the Amiko mini HD SE also have an android app that allows you to access other stb functions remotely (ex. Blind scan) or are the apps available only for viewing/streaming channels?

    GEOSATpro GEOSATPRO HDVR1200 and Slingbox

    Since no response to my HDVR1200 q, anybody care to chime in on a suggestion for a receiver with a faster blindscan that works with Slingbox (or any Android app)? I like being able to remotely control the box and blindscan, but I'm looking for something other than another microHD that will be...

    Micro HD. Locks up when I plug in external hard drive and says adio problem. I reformatted hard dri

    With my microHD, I'm currently using a Toshiba Canvio Connect 2TB drive - HDTC720XS3C1 - that I got on sale from Staples a few weeks ago. No external power needed. The drive powers down when not in use, so there is a 7-8 second delay when it comes out of 'sleep' after you hit the RECORD...

    GEOSATpro GEOSATPRO HDVR1200 and Slingbox

    I have the MicroHD working great with a Slingbox 350 (although the 'MicroHD' isn't specifically listed when going thru setup) and am able to control the box with the slingplayer app on my Nexus phone. Would I be able to remotely control a HDVR1200 with a slingbox?

    KRBK

    I recently upgraded the MicroHD firmware to the 20130626 version and I have been experiencing the same delay problem with KRBK. Sometimes the channel just won't pop up at all :confused: and I have to switch receivers/DVB PC devices.

    AZ mini Me questions

    A few questions: 1) Would I be able to control the miniMe using a Slingbox 350? 2) I've recorded using the Openbox S9 and MicroHD, and I don't like that they both split the recordings into ~1gb .ts files. I've tried VideoRedo to combine the files into one but I end up losing a bunch of...

    New C-band dish

    Purchased a NEW commercial 2.4m C-band antenna (yes, mucha moola with shipping cost) and was delivered today in what looks to be less than pristine condition. Question for the experienced, would these scratches on the reflector side have any affect in the dish's performance? outer edge...

    The mystery of NBC 'occasional'

    I've seen the following on the Occasional channels: NBC/Telemundo promos for affiliates Primetime programming for visually impaired(?) airing ~6pm ET on #17 Soaps airing in the wee hours I remember when NBC were still 4:2:2 SD on 103w they used to air show EPKs on a Sunday AM. I don't know...

    who still sells a 2.4m petal dish?

    The OP can purchase the Chinese made 240cm Digiwave stationary petal dish from a Canadian seller on eBay. A Canadian etailer also sells the polar mount separately. In addition to Andersen, may also want to look into DH satellite if you're willing to go a tad over that $1000 budget. They...

    France 24 English on Intersat21 58W

    Checked out 58w on my motorized 1.2 with a geosatpro c1 and I barely get a lock on both channels. Al is breaking up bad - I'm guessing I need more signal with the 7/8 FEC?? But then I just slapped on the lnb this hot afternoon without any further adjustment to focal distance, scalar...

    AMC1/103 W: Please post your results

    Long time no post... I think I may need to tweak my dish more. Same Geosatpro receiver and Geosatpro PLL LNB, but with a 1.2m dish. All NBC feeds hover around the low 70s. If one can get 70% with a 39", should I be getting more SQ on my 1.2 dish or is the bigger ku dish there to help with...

    Glenn Beck, Eliot Spitzer Ad

    Are you all referring to the following: This momentary banner is nothing compared to the outdated crawler/ticker on the ESPN networks or the graphics that take up a 1/3 of the screen TNT uses to let you know an all new The Closer is coming up. :p

    Actual HD Resolution

    I've recently captured various programs from Dish Network with a R5000hd add-on and from a friend's Comcast Motorola box via the firewire method described here. I don't see too much of a difference between the two providers when it comes to the 720p stuff (ex FOXnews, A&E). But the video can...

    getting programs off dvr

    With the current drivers, I am not able to capture any of the premium channels like HBO via HDMI using the Hauppauge card without some type of workaround. If you insist on using HDMI over component, you can use a HDMI-to-DVI>HDMI conversion box as discussed here. Only downside is the...

    getting programs off dvr

    Unless you're still watching programs in standard definition, maybe it's time to ditch the recorder and go with a HTPC/PC solution?? DISH's compressed high def should still look better than the 480i/p resolution you're watching from a DVD recorder.

    WSI 6foot dish

    It's a good first foray into c-band and as Fat Air mentioned you'll be wanting more. The WSI bargain was my first BUD assembly after playing with C-band on a 1.2m. I got a bunch of HD channels from 58w-137w here in CA but I mostly parked that thing on 107.3 with the CDN programming. Make...
