    GEOSATpro microHD - Endless Boot issue yuck!

    I used the latest software. I did do a factory reset but may not have disconnected the power afterwards. Here is what happened: I loaded four satelites on each leg of my diseqc switch. I decided to change my port 2 from 87W to 97W. I then added 97W to port 2 in the program by use of the...

    GEOSATpro New MicroHD not responding to the remote

    This morning I had slow flash on the power button of the remote again for the first few tries. It then went to quick flash and turned the unit "on". I am now suspecting the remote is somehow jamming and not getting the correct signal out to correctly communicate with the unit. Agree with your...

    GEOSATpro New MicroHD not responding to the remote

    I already opened the cover and everything looked fine under the hood. Hmmm not a bad idea I thought...so I tried it. No change at first. Then all of a sudden, the slow flash on the remote's power button suddenly switch to quick flashes. Holy Chit its working! I then put the cover back on and...

    Angel Electronics in Ontario. I thought I would go with someone on the same side of the border as me to eliminate the currency and customs risks. I am already in contact with them.

    GEOSATpro New MicroHD not responding to the remote

    No affect whatsoever. Only the power light on the remote flashes. Nothing flashes or moves on the unit. I moved the unit to another room and tried without a TV and then brought a small TV in and used its hdmi. Previously I tried with both the HDMI and the AV input on the large TV. If the...

    GEOSATpro New MicroHD not responding to the remote

    Thanks for the quick response. Never worked. New batteries. Reboot several times. I put the blackberry on camera mode and I could see the light signal coming from the remote. The unit boots up to a start menu displayed at 480i. Is that the original firmware or is that an update?

    I received my microHD today and I have the same problem right out of the box. :(

    Have some pics of the new dish called Fridea.

    I may be wrong but that looks like a 1.2 meter dish but your lnb is more suited for a 1 meter dish. If you can find one of those older lnbs with the more defined feedhorn, I suspect you will get more signal out of that dish.

    A new DVB-S2 receiver similar in concept to a HDHomeRun?

    I am not a Linux person....yet. But recompiling makes sense. I will have to learn Linux for the new server so I might as well tweek the MOI once I have a grip on recompiling the TVheadend.

    Free source of Belden CATV RG6 coax cable.

    I have Gigabyte everything. However since I flashed my switch, it has now become the bottleneck at 57Mbps. The new firmware slowed it down.

    Free source of Belden CATV RG6 coax cable.

    I believe customers are complaining that they can not achieve the internet download speeds that Roger's is claiming to sell to them. They had to upgrade the cable at my place as I was only getting a 40 Mb download speed but was paying for 100 Mb. After the upgrade, I am at 57Mbps.

    A new DVB-S2 receiver similar in concept to a HDHomeRun?

    You can buy mine. I used it for a week and then took it off line. It just sits there and reminds me that I made a mistake. It can not process the high bit-rate (mp4) signals and I prefer to watch only high bit-rate signals. I am opting to build a server that does the same as the MOI, but with a...

    my first big dish

    I agree with above. However if you are not ready the spend the money today, you can use the existing LNB. Actually it will probably work better than what you can buy. The only problem is that you can not easily control its polarity. You will be stuck on Horizontal or vertical. You also can use...
