There are improved versions of Openbox firmware that allows two channel record providing both channels are on the same transponder. Other improvements have been made to the Openbox channel editor including the ability to delete all of the channels on a selected satellite. You can buy a new...

There is nothing wrong with tracking. The dish moves ok. You will never see the problem using the uni lnb because 22KHz is always on. This problem exisits using 1.2 commands. Connect a 22 KHz switch to two lnbs. Scan a few satellites that use 22KHZ off. Then scan a few satellites that use...

I can describe it but it would be better if you see the problem yourself. How do you have the 22KHz switch set in your diseqc 1.2 motor system?

A file was released to fix one minor issue? That is good I guess but it would have been better if the switch issue on the 1.2 motor was fixed. GregH

Some would disagree. It looks like there is a problem using Diseqc 1.2 commands and 22KHz ON. You should check this. GregH

How are you fooling the receiver? CKu Band Digital LNBF for C & Ku Band Model 741 The WSI 741 lnb has a built-in 22KHz switch. These lnb settings were designed for the c/ku lnbs like the 741.

I assume you mean a WSI 741 lnb? I cannot find a 721 listed. The Manhattan does control a 22KHz switch in the motorized mode if you use the Universal lnb settings. Any Manhattan firmware will control a WSI 741 lnb in the motorized mode but either the c or ku transponder frequencies will be...

The editor in the S9 does not allow you to make any changes to the PID info. SetEditHD100 Is what you need. Do a Google search for it. GregH

I have had good results using the Satellite Antenna Alignment tool to calculate the amount of offset a dish has but I do not measure the lip. This would be about the same thing if the dish was filled with water. GregH

The degrees of offset may be found in the spec sheet of the dish. You can calculate the degrees of offset if you carefully measure the dish. The Satellite Antenna Alignment tool (2.87.0.0) works very good for offset calculations. This tool may be found by doing a Google search. GregH

Unplug the receiver and disconnect the coax for the lnb. See if the rebooting stops. Your computer is not communicating with the loader program. Verify that the loader program is set to the same com port (com5) as your usb to serial device. The settings on the loader program should not be...

I have read a lot and I have yet to see one post anywhere that says a box was killed because it was a clone. If somebody does actually find a clone kill post or thread, please send me its web address. GregH

I have seen these receivers listed on Alibaba for 20-30 dollars if they are bought in quantity. Look around on the European sites and you will not find much discussion about clone Openboxes. This makes me think that there is no such thing as an Openbox clone because they are all clones to begin...

It sounds like you loaded the North American firmware version that does not contain networking. This firmware will load fine on a s10 but it will not load on a s9 unless it has a satellite file with channels installed in it. IMO, these firmwares are nothing but junk. Load the European firmware...

I have not seen any writing that says the S10 has manual PID entry. The Manhattan has a manual PID feature. Maybe you were reading about it?

What PIDs are ypou wanting to add? Some sat files have PIDs in them. You will need the channel editor program because there is no way to add PIDs in the S10 receiver.

Antenna Setup---> Motor Setting--->Limit setup---> Go To Reference

I would suggest Hypermegasat for a S10 purchase. He has the best warranty and is an excellent person to do business with. GregH

There are good and bad points to adding new sections. I do not think you can build a forum that does not confuse people that are new to the hobby or internet forums. No matter what you do, somebody will post in the wrong section. A person that has over of sixty thousand posts in one internet...

A Manhattan forum would be nice. I believe the receiver will do very well in the near future.

Look for yourself. Unless you are running a different software version than I am, You cannot use a motor and a switch(universal settings excluded). To check this, press the menu button on the remote. Then go to Installation--->Antenna Connection. Select Motor Antenna. Exit back to...

I will be blunt. The receiver needs firmware work. It appears they changed form a 2MB receiver to a 4MB receiver and they probably were not fully prepared for this. This receiver change has left them with a good basic firmware without manyl bells and whistles. As an example, you cannot...

It is a feed so it may come and go.

Here is what Jeff posted today:

It depends. If your longitude is IDENTICAL to the degrees of a satellite, the answer is Yes. Most of us do not live in an area where our longitude is identical to that of a satellite. For what it is worth, I do not think you are aligned correctly in the arc either. What you have posted suggests...
