There are improved versions of Openbox firmware that allows two channel record providing both channels are on the same transponder. Other improvements have been made to the Openbox channel editor including the ability to delete all of the channels on a selected satellite. You can buy a new...

You can probably get the same channels using the Pansat as you get with the Sathawk. The Pansat needs a tad bit more of a 70Q signal in order to watch these channels. Your 6ft. dish is considered marginal by many for these channels. Slight changes in the weather or the atmosphere could mean the...

Your receiver seems to be working OK and what you are seeing is normal. A good signal is needed on these transponders in order for them to work. Your 6ft. dish is small for a reliable signal on these transponders and the C/KU lnb you are using does not work well for a lot of people using a 6ft...

There is nothing wrong with tracking. The dish moves ok. You will never see the problem using the uni lnb because 22KHz is always on. This problem exisits using 1.2 commands. Connect a 22 KHz switch to two lnbs. Scan a few satellites that use 22KHZ off. Then scan a few satellites that use...

I can describe it but it would be better if you see the problem yourself. How do you have the 22KHz switch set in your diseqc 1.2 motor system?

A file was released to fix one minor issue? That is good I guess but it would have been better if the switch issue on the 1.2 motor was fixed. GregH

Some would disagree. It looks like there is a problem using Diseqc 1.2 commands and 22KHz ON. You should check this. GregH

How are you fooling the receiver? CKu Band Digital LNBF for C & Ku Band Model 741 The WSI 741 lnb has a built-in 22KHz switch. These lnb settings were designed for the c/ku lnbs like the 741.

I assume you mean a WSI 741 lnb? I cannot find a 721 listed. The Manhattan does control a 22KHz switch in the motorized mode if you use the Universal lnb settings. Any Manhattan firmware will control a WSI 741 lnb in the motorized mode but either the c or ku transponder frequencies will be...

The editor in the S9 does not allow you to make any changes to the PID info. SetEditHD100 Is what you need. Do a Google search for it. GregH

I have had good results using the Satellite Antenna Alignment tool to calculate the amount of offset a dish has but I do not measure the lip. This would be about the same thing if the dish was filled with water. GregH

The degrees of offset may be found in the spec sheet of the dish. You can calculate the degrees of offset if you carefully measure the dish. The Satellite Antenna Alignment tool (2.87.0.0) works very good for offset calculations. This tool may be found by doing a Google search. GregH

Unplug the receiver and disconnect the coax for the lnb. See if the rebooting stops. Your computer is not communicating with the loader program. Verify that the loader program is set to the same com port (com5) as your usb to serial device. The settings on the loader program should not be...

Scott, How can you compare the Manhattan to a cheaper receiver like the Openbox when you do not have an Openbox to compare it to? Buy one of those ninety dollar Openboxes so you can see the difference first hand instead of second or third party. Again, I told you bluntly that the firmware needed...

Think what you want and read posts the way you want. All I can tell you is there is a list of features and updates that are to be put into the Manhattan's firmware. I have posted pictures of a few of these updates in my last few posts. Good Evening. GregH
