I bought the mini version 1, not the new version. It was cheap. 22 bucks.
Is it going to come updated ?? is there new firmware that will enhance its performance that you know of??
What is better about the new version that is 130 $..??
I never tried the V1HD. The last X2 receiver that I had was about two years ago. Hopefully they have done some improvements in that time and you will get a good one. Let us know how it performs for you. Youtube, IPTV, etc are streamed via the internet (either by wi-fi or a wired connection - whichever your receiver supports) from your router.nice news, I better have better luck..mine is the V1 HD.The box shows a pic of a receiver that says Premium V1. I didnt know I was getting a premium. Its says Full HD 1080p. If you had one 3-5 years ago they might have improved them,no??
btw ...is this youtube thing free access to youtube videos via satellite?? The only ones I would want would be do it yourself how to videos and a few others. Is this one of the channels you get on Galaxy 19??
Have you tried the receiver yet? Perhaps they have gotten better at heat management. Not sure that a heat sink on the outside of the unit would work. It would likely block any ventilation the unit does get. The processor chip is what overheats so generally direct contact between it and the heatsink is required to be effective. Increased air flow over the board/chip is usually a good solution. A cheap 5VDC fan from Amazon/eBay and power from an ac adapter or the USB port is pretty effective.I got the little thing.... its ridiculously small...I would not have ordered it if I had known how tiny and cheap it is. No wonder people have had problems with overheating. What a LOUSY piece of chink engineering. Anyway I was thinking that its going to need a fan or heatsink.
I would prefer a non mechanical so the heatsink would be better. Maybe a piece of finned aluminum about 3 times the size of the unit and the box nestled into the middle of it.. do you think that will work for heat dissipation?? I wont have the dish set up for a couple of months so plenty of time for design.
btw on the LNB...the blue sky dish has the mini reflector on it...should I aim the LNB right at the middle of that???
Do a Google image search of a Wild Blue dish.P.S. Unfamiliar with Blue Sky dishes. Could you post up a pic of your dish and lnb so we can see what they look like.
Wow, don't believe I've ever seen one of those. So I'm assuming you would want to mount the new lnb at the exact same focus point in front of the sub-reflector as the original lnb?Do a Google image search of a Wild Blue dish.
They have the sub reflector.
btw on my Amiko LNB there are some markings..an arrow and some notches...does that arrow have to be up or is that just a guide..??
