Thanks for all the replies guys, at least I'm not alone with these issues. I will try re-peaking the dish, although it should be pretty close to optimized since I'm using Diseqc 1.2 and setting manual positions for each satellite. Failing that I guess I'll just hold onto the AzBox and use that...

Hi Raine, Thanks for the quality reference, at least I know the readings are not completely out to lunch. No model number for the LNB unfortunately since it's just a generic model. It is a linear LNB (at least that's how I've been setting it up and it seems to work fine). I have the same...

Yup, 10750 other satellites work fine with the same LO frequency (including the DVB-S2 transponders for NBC on 103W which are usually the weakest and most difficult to pull in).

Hi all, Still messing around with my MicroHD and finally got it tracking satellites correctly with the motorized dish and just having a few issues with PBS on 125W. When I lock in on 125W I receive a really low signal on TP 12180 - the quality reading seems to jump all over the place with a...

Thanks for the reply, I managed to figure out that you need to have all satellites selected in the "Satellite List" menu before the dish will move. I (incorrectly) assumed the selection in the "Satellite List" was only for setup and I was manually de-selecting them after scanning in the channels.

Hi Guys, I'm having one heck of a time trying to get my MicroHD working with a Diseqc 1.2 motor. After bricking it a few weeks ago I finally re-flashed the udf file and restored the receiver to a working state using a USB-to-TTL cable, however, whenever I try and setup multiple satellites...

Thanks for the replies. Definitely seems to be stuck in a reboot loop (just noticed that the LED will turn red, then solid green for a while and then back to red). I guess I'll order one of the TTL cables to de-brick. Seems like the firmware is kinda flaky if it's this easy to corrupt the...

I was trying to setup my MicroHD to work with Diseqc 1.2 this morning and after I saved my second satellite position the receiver locked up. I unplugged the unit for about 30 seconds and now when it powers on I see a flash of the main screen for about 2 seconds then the TV reports "no signal."...

Thanks for the suggestion primestar, After I updated the firmware it found the needed transponder on the first try.

I'm running the software it came with out of the box. The information page says TDV10290-1-0-2-0 and the date looks like 2012-05-25. I will update the firmware and keep my fingers crossed

Hi Guys, I recently purchased the GeoSAT MicroHD and was just getting around to setting it up. I'm trying to scan in the Reuters news service on 113W but can't figure out how to add a DVB-S2 transponder. I've already tried a blind scan and the receiver didn't find the transponder. When I use...

Has anyone figured out how to run a custom script at start up on the AzBox (I have the elite HD model)? I'm trying to mount an NFS filesystem off a linux media server and it works if I SSH into the azbox and manually run the command "mount <server IP>:/path/to/data /DATA/movie" but of course...

I have done a factory default, but I'm getting the same result. Currently running the latest build, 0.9.5308

Well I've done some more testing and I still can't get HD video to play even with the AzBox connected directly to my laptop with crossover cable. Additionally I notice that when I'm trying to copy large files via FTP to the USB flash drive connected to the AzBox I get an "OOPS: child died"...

wired connection hooked through a gigabit switch.

Hopefully someone will have a suggestion here. I like to record HDTV programs from my OTA antenna on my PC and I think it would be really great if I could then watch these programs at the TV via my AzBox. I can navigate to the shared folder on my PC from my AzBox but when I try to play video...

Thanks Stargaze, unfortunately the receiver doesn't seem to want to let me downgrade past 0.9.5300, I've tried firmware 0.9.4923 and 0.9.4890 and both time I get a "fail to upgrade" message. This is after I've rebooted the receiver BTW. Radar, thanks for the suggestion, I did know about the...

Well I fell all the way back to 0.9.5300 and still no working rewind, so I guess I just never noticed the fact that it didn't work before.

I likely won't get to play around with the AzBox until the weekend what with the Over-The-Air digital transition happening over the next two days up here in Canada, but I will post my results when I get a chance.

Thanks for the reply Radar, I'm thinking of falling back to an older version of the firmware. I find I'm needing to frequently reboot due to lockups and errors in video playback since the upgrade.

Hello all, I recently upgraded the firmware if my AzBox elite HD to version 0.9.5308 from this site: AZBox Snapshots only to discover that when I press the rewind button on my remote (while watching a TV show stored on my media server over my LAN) I get a message saying "Error: not supported."...

In related news my USB keyboard is now working (wasn't under the previous firmware) Now THAT is a useful feature :D

Working? I Updated the firmware to the latest version (using the method that Lak suggested) and it seems to be working just fine. I'm getting a little less quality (about 40%) on the HD transponder but the channels are coming in just fine. Thanks a lot guys hopefully it will continue to work :D

Oh I wasn't aware of that thanks for the info I'll have to look into that

Coolsat doesn't have diseq 1.1 which is the whole reason I got the Azbox, my PBS dish is on LNB 7 so in order to use the Coolsat I'll have to swap the switches out. In a related problem my AzBox refuses to update. I select firmware 2880 and it downloads the file then returns with "fail to...
