That's why you should buy from Brian! Never had a bad experience.

I made a backup copy of the directories containing the DreamBoxEdit files so if I upload a config from the box they won't get overwritten. If, by mistake, I do a blind scan on 103 and clobber the radio channels, I can open the backup, select all the 103 radio channels, copy them, open the main...

A bit of trial-and-error with dreamboxEDIT and info from the mentioned thread got the radio channels working on my Mio4K. Thanks to all for the help.

Thanks.

Currently running OpenATV 6.2 nightly on the mio 4K and don't see a way of doing a PID scan so the "hidden" radio streams on 103W can be discovered. Is there another distro compatible with this receiver which supports PID scan?

Looking forward to a review. Have been thinking about the Octagon SF8008, but am liking what I read about this box. Currently using an Octagon SF4008 running OpenEight and am really missing blind scan.

As mentioned on other threads here, check out the fine work of Lucas Teske's Open Satellite Project. All source code on Open Satellite Project · GitHub. Currently working with GOES LRIT and HRIT with GRB currently under development. I'm using a 1900 MHz grid dish and an Airspy under Linux...

Thanks Brian. Knew it had to be something simple. Had a chance to play with this for an extended time today and as the thread title says, it is freaking cool! Compared to the SatHero SH900, this meter is so much better. Satellites listed in western hemisphere, HDMI connection to NTSC TV...

Received the meter today and one thing I can't figure out is how to input my lat/long so that USALS motor will work. Other than that, first impressions are positive.

Great video Brian. Makes me glad I bought one. Looking forward to trying it out tomorrow when it's delivered. Looks much better that the SatHero SH900.

How is the reaction time to changes in signal level? I recently bought a SatHero HD900 and am disappointed at it's slow reaction to changes in signal level. Makes it kind of useless for finding satellites and fine tuning.

Ask Lucas (racerxdl) which DVB-S2 board is being tested. The beta firmware is for an Ayecka receiver which is a standalone device but costs quite a bit more than the PC board alternative.

There is an open source effort (OpenSatelliteProject) underway to produce software which will handle GRB from GOES-16. Currently the software is working with LRIT and HRIT. Beta firmware for a commercial receiver is being tested in addition to a DVB-S2 board for a PC. I've been running the...

For those of us who didn't get in early enough for the first 50 units, when are more expected? I'm proud to buy from such a good friend of this forum! FTA RULES!!!
