Hello, I see a dealer on eBay is selling the Geosatpro 36" dish with 2 LNBs at 4-degree offset, to get two satellites 4 degrees apart at the same time. I'd love to get SES-3 (NBC) and G16 (CBS_Newspath) on this dish, but my question is... Given that I don't think the Geosatpro is an oval dish...

My AZBox does NOT move a dish. I wasn't aware that it even could move a BUD. I'm just using it for 4:2:2 video.

Hello, as of today I am the proud owner of FIVE blown AZBox power supplies. Yes, the fuse is blown in the newest one, but it smells "burnt" so I doubt replacing the fuse would solve the problem (it never has before, for me). I notice on Amazon you can buy a 12V 5A supply and a separate 24V 1A...

Hello, I finally upgraded my computer to -S2 with the Prof S2-7301 card and I installed the DVBdream software included in my Win XP dual-core computer. I'm having a little trouble with the scheduler: especially if the software is running minimized (but maybe even if not), the program freezes...

I've been getting NBC on AMC18, 3780Mhz,30000,5/6,Pilot=on, on four different receivers. (I use 2 or 3 at the same time to mix the audio). But starting this week, two receivers, my Pansat 9200 with the original 8PSK card, and my Dreambox 800, are showing 0/0 - no signal, no quality, on this...

Thanks guys, a number of you sent me drivers and I have at least that part working. Also, MyTheatre v3.?? seems to be recording okay. (Vers 4.? still doesn't seem to recognize the card). But, I don't have any picture on the screen. I went to the "set audio and video codecs" section and chose a...

Hello, I was trying to install an old Twinhan VP1020a card in a new computer, but when I tried to go to their website to download a driver, www.twinhan.com, it doesn't seem to be there! Maybe this is a temporary problem but if anyone could help with a driver I'd appreciate it. I checked some of...

If you like the AZbox, why not just get the $295 AZbox... that's pretty cheap for something you already know...--Gary

Dreambox not THAT hard to use! I'll disagree with Ironside about Dreambox not being 'plug and play.' I had never used one before and I got NBC-HD (-S2) in less than 30 minutes. The second time I set one up in under 10 minutes. You do not NEED to load any extra files or anything like that to...

The Coolsat 8000 is actually FANTASTICALLY SENSITIVE for both DVB-S2 and DVB-S signals.In my system, you don't even need to connect the Coolsat to get -S2 reception - it gets enough "leak" through the air! (of course there is a big dish causing the "leak").If you can't get it with the Coolsat...

As I've been testing Dreambox DM800 HD and DM500HD (not to be confused with the older SD DM500 model) for the past few months, I'll wade in here.First I'll mention that on UpdateLee's recommendation, I updated to "PLI" software, a NON-HACK alternative software for Dreamboxes. This provided...

"Would a DVB-S2 computer card perform better?"I would say, all STB's I've used for DVB-S2, perform better than the Pansat 9200HD. Of course, each one has it's own problems.In theory, a computer card could work very well, but what is your ultimate output? If it's your computer screen or your...

THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE of the Pansat 9200HD receiver, so I wouldn't be surprised if you have the same problem with the 9000HD. If by "jerkiness," you mean: the picture doesn't update 30 times a second (or 29.94 or 59.88 or whatever), but rather it seems that frames repeat. I call this...

Clarifying a few points... >Any receiver, Azbox included can do L&R Actually, the AZbox CAN'T. That's my point. The analog outputs appear limited to mono. You can do LEFT+RIGHT, but not Left & Right as separate channels. >it wouldn't matter in the least whether the various channels you...

Hi BJ, First off, please don't knock the quality of RCA outputs to a 42 or 50" plasma TV and a good surround-sound receiver, unless you've tried it! Of course it's not "HD" but it's a very good way for me to store thousands of hours of video/audio on hard-disk/DVD recorders. Second, you...
