I had issues similar to those after I had a storm pass by and lightning strike very close by. It still worked, but was locking up or not saving settings. I contacted Satellite AV and they sent me a replacement and returned my damaged one after I received it. Also a bad power supply, surge...

I think once these actually get out into the real world usage we will know more about how well they perform. But preliminary results seem to be really good. I'm considering the Mac Mini version, but going to wait and see for at least a few months to see how they get rated after they have been in...

I never was able to update over WiFI/LAN network, only via USB. I no longer have any of these receivers, or the file, so I can't help. Sorry...

I like Orby mainly because it's a NO CONTRACT service, and no additional fees if I decide to stop or cancel service. I'm the same way with my cell phone and internet service, all no contract and prepaid. And as for getting what I pay for, this is exactly what I want. A no frills service. I don't...

Is there anything still FTA on any of the Circular Ku-band satellites (North America)? I'm thinking about streamlining my setup and getting rid of my excess satellite parts (LNBFs, switches, etc), but didn't know if there was any reason to keep any Circular Ku-band LNBFs. THANKS!

Problem is not with DIsh, they don't develop those apps, YouTube and Netflix does, most likely out-sourced instead of them actually having in house programmers...

I dislike anything Google... especially devices with Android OS

I love how people judge a series before they even watch an episode... I actually like all the new different Star Trek Series, but nothing can compare the the original series. To me I look at them as entirely different points of view, not a continuation or prequels, just an individual series on...

another good reason to cut prices would be if newer receivers were coming out, get rid of as much old stock as possible...

I was having trouble with the CCTV/CGTN feeds, but they are back to normal now. No Phoenix channels, but still get the MTI radio channels

I got my hands on another GEOSATpro DSR-R100b, same problem, dead power supply. But this one was different, it had two 10v 2200u capacitors instead of the two 10v 1000u in the same location like my other two receivers have, haven't looked at the other components too closely on the power supply...

DIY is best for me. However, the antenna should be optional. I already have my own outdoor antenna, as the one in the kit isn't large enough to pick up local channels where I live, I need a large directional antenna, over-the-air TV reception is very weak here.

Hopefully they are not switching to streaming only like some channels have done

No audio here either... But it's still streaming on Lyngsat, maybe something has changed with the transponder? or signal strength?... Global Star 5 Linear Streaming

Success! Repaired! I replaced the two 1000u 10v capacitors with two 1000u 16v capacitors I salvaged from another piece of electronics Seems to be working great, no issues so far, been running non stop for 2 days and no heat difference from it and my other one that is still as it was when...
