    recording

    That is odd. I was running the 3877 firmware for some time myself and while the Azbox wouldn't record to my WD 320, it did see it and I could playback .ts files stored on it with no problem. Have you tried plugging in the WD 320 direct to the Azbox just in case there is an issue with it and...

    recording

    That's a really good qustion. I never have luck recording with mine - tried three different usb thumb drives and it seems to hate them all. It always locks up and then reboots. Once I recorded the History Channel with my 320 WD hard drive, but it has never worked again. I've checked all inside...

    AZBox Repair Centers

    Hope they work out well for you, I haven't ordered any myself yet. The thing that makes these cheaper is where the frames come from like you mentioned, but also the fact that the lab where the lenses are made/fitted is in HK too. At least their headquarters is in the US. Let me know what you...

    AZBox Repair Centers

    This place has complete sets with lenses starting at $8.00, just in case you're really serious. :D Zenni Optical - Complete prescription eyeglasses from $8.00 I've heard good things about them, but the downside is they're from Hong Kong. Not surprising for that price of course. That sucks...

    What firmware is everybody using?

    AcWxRadar - Nice job on all of the tutorials you've made. :up I've been out of the loop, so I mainly wanted to find out if there were any problematic issues with any of the newer firmware files, but I'm glad to hear that I should see an overall improvement in things with the jump to the latest...

    What firmware is everybody using?

    Thanks Brent. Yeah, I was reading some of the old posts about the blindscan not being worth much, that's a real shame. :( I guess I'm more interested in the changes made to recording features and I seem to recall somebody saying they noticed an improvement in picture quality when they upgraded...

    What firmware is everybody using?

    I haven't updated since 0.9.3877 and I thought I'd ask what everybody is using right now, since I haven't been lurking around here in awhile. :) Also, why you like that particular firmware would be nice to know. Oh, and if anybody is a glutton for punishment you could help me with this: I still...

    External hard drive problem

    I thought I remembered you saying you had one too in that other thread. I believe I tried canceling the timeshift, but my brain isn't what it used to be, so I'll make sure I did and try again. :) On an unrelated note, this new Azbox category is looking pretty full with all the old Azbox threads...

    External hard drive problem

    I cleared off my old WD My Book 320gb external hard drive and reformatted it with the Azbox. The problem is, when I try to record it shows the recording icon on the front display and the indicator on the hd flashes as if it's working, but all other functions lock up and you can't do anything...

    Azbox Elite - where & price

    I bought my Elite from the seller azboxusa on ebay. If you look carefully you''ll notice that they have listings for the Elite with $15 for shipping and $20 for shipping. Needless to say I opted for the $15 shipping. :D They shipped it priority, I had it in two days. No complaints here. Mine...

    Iceberg - Thanks, I'm loving it so far. Your tip about the three requirements for a newly purchased Azbox prevented much aggravation for me I'm sure! :up Now I just need more time so I can start catching up on it's inner workings and add something to the conversation. ;)

    AZBOX Remote

    It was a pain setting up my harmony 550 with the Azbox. I ended up having to use the Azbox remote to teach it commands. Funny thing is...after I finished teaching all the commands it showed up as an Azbox premium, so maybe there is a listing for it. I looked under Opensat and put in Azbox Elite...

    Makes sense that the Visionsat would have the same issue. I've never tried ProjectX, but you've got me curious, so I think I'll have to. I figured that if I have enough patience I'd use VideoReDo to edit all the commercials from my .ts files and reclaim about 25% of the used space on my hard...

    DirectDishNet - Thanks. :) Both of the sellers (azboxusa and azboxamerica) are from Miami. I bought mine from azboxusa since they had shipping for $5 less.:up No complaints here. Pro96 - Thanks. :) I look forward to digging up some 4:2:2 feeds. ;)

    After hearing of all the fun you lucky Azbox owners were having (and experiencing a bit of stb-envy from it) I scraped my pennies together and got one. :D I bought it from azboxusa on ebay (like probably many reading this did) and I'm quite pleased. I paid for my Azbox Elite last Sunday and...

    Azbox external hard drive questions

    AcWxRadar - Interesting, so it would seem that this might be a firmware issue or perhaps a speed or buffer issue, since I would assume guapoharry's WD 1tb drive should work fine if other 1tb drives do. Good to know the Maxtor works well :up, I usually gravitate towards WD, since their drives...

    Azbox external hard drive questions

    I'm glad I asked before buying one, since that's exactly the one I was thinking about getting! Thanks for the input. :up Too bad it won't work with your Azbox, 1tb would be very nice number! :) Makes me think of my Coolsat; the largest hd it will take is 500gb.

    Azbox external hard drive questions

    I finally pulled the trigger on an Azbox Elite the other day :D and I'm trying to get things ready for it when it gets here. My main question to all of you lucky Azbox owners is this: how large of an external hd will it support? Also, if anyone has had any compatibility issues with any...
