I called. Please everyone call and take the survey. I depend on this feed and have very poor internet. PBS wont keep the KU feeds on 125 long term either they have plans to move off those too. Also the ku feeds dont come in well for me due to extreme winter weather. I live in the country and...

I also did wiresharks while changing channels. I found where the vivant remote app querying some xml files and was able to grab them with my computer in the same way. It was mostly and xml file of dnla service definitions. When I changed channels the packets were filled with gibberish almost...

I did wireshark it earlier this week. The geosat receiver connects back TO the vivant app when you hit stream av. Then the next thing you get in the wireshark is port not available and the tcp connection is reset by the sat box. Either the sat box is connecting back to the vivant remote app on...

Correct! Sorry I meant I did not know what the integer meant... SNR: 210 (what does 210 mean is it DB or DBm or etc..) but yes Its signal to noise ratio just dont know what measurement the driver is using. Doesnt matter to me just know that higher is better and weaker SNR the value gets lower...

Just to report that if you telnet to this box (user:root passwrd: nothing just hit enter) and type this command: cat /proc/hisi/msp/tuner you can see signal strength, quality, BER, FEC, frequency, DVB vs DVB-s2. Very nice! A way to look at signal strength if your wireless hits where your dish...

The vivant remote app for ios works for controlling the satellite box but there are no remote streaming options with it. What am I missing?

Very sad news. Thanks for digging and reporting back.

Just watch out on that sat-atsc converter. Its a united kingdom website and I thought it odd that a UK company would sell anything ATCS since its a north american standard. The spec sheet doesnt mention ATSC at all but DVB-T and DVB-C as outputs. Maybe an email to the company would be in order...

Any input on what kind of paint I should (or should not) use on a 10ft unimesh dish? Its current factory paint job is wearing off in spots/getting powdery. Im just concerned that certain types of paint would affect signal reflection. I plan on using rustolium enamel flat black or glossy either...

Thank you!!! Perfect!! I appreciate it.

Ok Before when you hit record it would pop up with a box allowing you to input for how long. Now there is no input box it just starts recording. How do you set a stop time for an ad hoc recording?

Ive got to say this is probably thee best firmware yet. Im noticing speed improvements too with the the pvr functions. Amazing! Those still trying to use a usb memory stick probably will have issues as those arent fast enough. I have a 1tb sata in a usb3 external 2.5 inch drive enclosure. No...

Movies is the only feed I cant get on 101 :(. I forgot about that one. I forgot because I get it fine on 99west. If I do a channel scan maybe three times in a row Ill have to rename the channels correctly but all will come in except Movies on 101. Thats the only feed on the whole arc I cant get...

I want to win

Id just like to say I love my geosat 3500 :) it picks up even the most narrow signals including the NPR feeds on 99w. It does the music choice acm feeds and 16apsk feeds. The one drawback I have is it can be laggy when pausing/playing live tv (using the dvr functions) otherwise very happy. I...
