    Edision Looking for a new FTA Receiver

    This is obvious about the support and one day any given make and model will no longer be supported. Bu,t No receiver was ever as bad as the Azbox Mini Me. I actually went down to Dr. Sat's store which was west of Toronto (don't know if he is even there now). Upon seeing his store and frankly his...

    Edision Looking for a new FTA Receiver

    So, it's been a long time since I've been on this site. I've been using the Azbox MiniMe American Edition I bought in 2014. Biggest mistake I made when I traded my GeosatPro for it because of 4:2:2 (Wants to slap some reasoning into his past-self :poke). Recently, I have been wanting to replace...

    It's left open-ended for whomever takes it over.

    A.D.: The Bible Continues

    Yes, I heard of the dismal ratings. It is a shame. The timing of the series ending going well into June does not help it. All series have ended their season run since the beginning or middle of May. Since I am a catholic I do believe that the general public's perception of Easter being only one...

    A.D.: The Bible Continues

    The NBC announcer mentioned at the end of tonight's episode that next week is the "SEASON" (instead of "SERIES") finale of A.D. The Bible Continues. I believe that leaves some room open for a possible continuance of the series. At what point, who knows. This could be good news for those of us...

    Yeah, and it started particularly gruesome tonight where one gave up his for emperor and Rome. Then Caligula being bored......

    SNL

    It's hard to believe a person like Lorne Michaels approved that monologue. But, even if he did, I doubt the run away part of the child molester bit was in the original script. It was obvious he just ad-libbed the last portion to save himself. Anything to do with making fun of kids being...

    SNL

    Did anyone catch the season finale of SNL last night? There's a bit of a buzz this morning on social media that Louis CK went too far with his monologue. I have to admit, he did use a shock and awe analogy when he just continued with his child molester bit. His comparisons with his favourite...

    AZBOX AzBox miniMe American edition v2.03 / v1.87 firmware

    It depends who you bought it from. BTW, I received an e-mail notification that mentions the official forum at Azbox Americas and ditching the "unofficial" forums like SatelliteGuys.us immediately.

    Scopus, I see you are in the UK, how come you bought the Minime American Edition?

    AZBOX AzBox miniMe American edition v2.03 / v1.87 firmware

    This is very interesting.......Whenever there is an issue with his presence in a forum, he goes out and forms his own. This is true with DigitalhomeCanada. He had a falling out with the moderators there and got kicked out and he formed satellitehome. But, he would take forever to respond to your...

    AZBOX AzBox miniMe American edition v2.03 / v1.87 firmware

    Wow, that's not good. I guess I would not send my back if this is the case. It is quasi-working now, at least I will still have it. I hope fellow Satellite Guys refrain from purchasing anything from Azbox so that they get the message about this company. As you can see, Pwrsurge has even...

    AZBOX AzBox miniMe American edition v2.03 / v1.87 firmware

    IBoston, looks like you are correct, I'm experiencing some real lag on the channels when changing. Weird.

    AZBOX AzBox miniMe American edition v2.03 / v1.87 firmware

    One other thing to note for the makers of Azbox Minime: When you delete more than a couple of channels from the list the box takes a fit a REBOOTS! REALLY ANNOYING!! Especially when you scan in temp wild feeds and want to get rid of them.

    AZBOX AzBox miniMe American edition v2.03 / v1.87 firmware

    Hmmm....do you see anything at all during reboot? You should see a flash on the screen "Azbox Starting" and a bit of a chime sound. If not, could be a connection issue. Did you check the connection in the back? I've recently noticed that the HDMI connection on the back of the box is loose and...

    AZBOX AzBox miniMe American edition v2.03 / v1.87 firmware

    I don't know if you solved the issue yet, but in case you didn't, when the unit it rebooting hold the #1 button. This will boot the unit into "safe mode" and should allow you to re-flash again. I had the same problem last week where I would reboot over and over and I would get a blank screen. I...

    AZBOX AzBox miniMe American edition v2.03 / v1.87 firmware

    Actually, I tested this out after your post and I somehow did not have that problem when changing channels quickly. I'm post again if I encounter it again.

    AZBOX AzBox miniMe American edition v2.03 / v1.87 firmware

    Running the latest software here. A few things still are out of wack for me: 1. Immediately after updating to this firmware, the signal quality meter dropped by 10% on all scanned-in transponders. All NBC feeds on AMC-1 dropped in signal quality. It doesn't mean there is any break up. It just...

    AZBOX Mini me American 2.02 will not boot past splash screen

    Jorgek, Its a firmware issue, what can Dr. Sat do for me that others are having the same issue? Pwrsurge is the support here and he should relay these issues to Azbox. Are Dr. Sat and Pwrsurge one is the same? I not sure, but Dr. Sat does have some connection with Azbox since he tests the...

    AZBOX Mini me American 2.02 will not boot past splash screen

    When you abruptly reboot the box (meaning it wasn't given the chance to shut down properly) it will revert to the last channel in memory. LPBHD was probably that channel. Even though Pwrsurge says that there is no issue with connecting USB drives, the Azbox does not recognize my drive. At least...

    AZBOX Mini me American 2.02 will not boot past splash screen

    I've had the same issue. I thought this was going to be fixed with the firmware release from Jan 9. But, it hasn't (at least for me). I was watching the Super Bowl tonight and every time I changed the channel and stayed on that channel for about a minute, the banner comes up and says the the...

    NBC on103w

    Interesting......I found that the east feed tp has changed in strength compared to the west feed. Before a month ago I used to get about 80-82% (depending on how cold it is). Now it stays at 76-78%. The west feed can reach as high as 92%, which never changed. If I manually move the dish (using...

    1.2 m Dish - Greater Toronto Area

    Danristeman, it is metal and very solid. I would compare this to the very sought after GEOSATpro dish that has been disconnected here in Canada. I don't know how a fiberglass dish would be in terms of weight.

    1.2 m Dish - Greater Toronto Area

    Hi Von, Yes I certainly will. Can't wait until the spring time to start experimenting with the dish. Amazing equipment of high quality. The dish was so damn heavy it was a chore to get it in the SUV! I was lucky it did fit. Should have protected the floor of the car the dish had sharp edges...
