Thanks, I would need to have a thirty foot ethernet cable running through the house, so I 'll just wait until I set up a router for WiFi. Hardly a priority for me with our sluggish dial-up, but eventually I may indulge in a wireless service (which here is still only .5MB / sec - hardly worth...

:confused: I know I have read posts on these before, but cannot locate the posts. I have two settings issues at the moment: 1. When I manually set time (no WiFi), the time will not stick, or at least reads as a different time in different places - such as the correct time on the time setting...

Well, after reading the file on "North Americanizing" the AZBox that came along with the box from the seller, I think I will need to get some of the files and update a few things and be able to edit lists. But so far, I have not had anything lost from memory, so maybe the reference to that is...

Thanks to everyonefor all the help. I guess I have an "Americanized" box, as it seems to save and use any new TP's I edit in or get from a scan, even after a reboot. I did get a great tip on working around TP's that are very similar - and particularly for when you don't have many working TP's...

Thanks Radar, Two things I did figure out is that when you add a TP with "edit": (1) you cannot add one that is nearly identical to one already in the memory. By deleting the too similar TP, the new one will appear in the list; (2) The added TP will not appear in the "Advanced Scan" list -...

Just got an AZBox Premium + going, and am having trouble getting most transponders on the birds I've scanned. Set up is 10 ft. BUD; Chaparral Corotor II + feedhorn; Norsat 8115 C band & 4106A LNB's; analog receiver used to aim dish & drive TP servo; currently only the C band coax is feeding...

Well, thanks for all the information. :up As to computer experience, I can do a lot with many stock programs and run an LAN with nine computers networked, but have only awareness of Linux (Ubuntu), which both of my kids use exclusively. I have only done a few things on an Ubuntu OS machine...

I am considering an AZBox HD Premium. Any input or experience about any of the following 3 questions would be greatly appreciated. 1. How is this box as far as quality? 2. How difficult is the Unit to use, especially as it uses Linux compatible software? (I have livery limited Linux...

Does anyone know if both MPEG 4:2:2 and DVB S2 are backwards compatible? What I mean is if a receiver is 4:2:2 capable, will it also work with both MPEG 4 & MPEG 2; and , if a receiver is DVB S2 capable, will it also work with DVB S & DVB?

Thanks, - the skyvision link worked. And we heat with wood here, too. ;)

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Great! And many thanks. But I think my dish currently has only a C band LNB - so until I upgrade to a dual LNBF, do I still need the splitter? Or, is the splitter to get the MPEG receiver and the analog box to work together? And if so, your method has one jumper to the digital box and a second...

I have a working C/Ku BUD dish and analog receiver (Uniden President PS1000). I want to connect a digital FTA receiver using the digital receiver's DiSEqC (ver 1.2 or 2.2). I have read and heard that the old analog receiver can be used to control the actuator, etc. on the BUD by connecting the...
