Well, Wife and I just went to that location on her HP laptop and NOTHING is there?? :-(

My Wife got a membership on Amazon Prime a year or two ago and has downloaded the entire 8 season set of one of their offerings. Problem is, I'm a "backup guy" and I normally backup most things like this and I've searched and searched and I'm not able to find ANY of those files to back up...

Good to hear there might be some of those remotes still around cuz I'm still using THREE of them on my 3 systems. Lemmie know if you find them. Just saying..............

https://3wv.com/ I can get this one on my car radio around town but not the radio in the house?? So, I found it streaming on the internet so I listen to it there when I'm at home. It's located in Charlottesville, Virginia and they play a LOT of old rock'n roll. I'll be 80 years old next month...

Would you please share with us the reason you think it didn't work the first time you tried to load it? Thanks

cyber did you ever get that v465 version to load and work on your V7S5X again?

Hummm, I'm still using THREE of those old Micro HDs here on my 3 systems. We watch recordings exclusively on those because of the "bump forward" ability they have. Just saying....................

Hummm, sorry I mentioned it now! Next time I'll just keep my big mouth shut, hey!!

Just checked and there is a new firmware available for the V7S5X. v466_20241112 is the number but when I unzipped it and read the instructions it says to use Hungarian language??? Anyone installed this? Just saying.................

Why yes, I did!! I actually bought two V7S5X receivers and one V8 Turbo. Kinda wish I hadn't now though with the way that satellite channels and replacement parts are disappearing. Just saying....................

Just so everyone knows, I also have a 10.5ft Raydx dish and mine has LARGE mesh and isn't optimal for Ku stuff. So keep this in mind if you need/want that one Casey posted the link to. Just saying...................

Well, last Friday and Saturday night I turned both systems on and left them on without using them for about an half hour and most of my "issues" disappeared. Shop temp was 55* and those systems ran until after midnight without any problems. If I had to guess I'd say that warming them up prior...

FYI these actuators are two of the three that I replaced the nylon nuts with brass nuts and used synthetic grease on years ago. They have operated in way colder weather than what we have had here in the past few days. It's suppose to be 65* here mid week so we'll see how they work then with...

Two of my systems run out of my shop/garage and they both have Vbox dish movers on them and Von Weise movers. These setups have been up and running for many years and I've seen my share of damage from lightning strikes. But .... yesterday I had another problem bite me and that's a count...

Yep, I just tried to connect to them with my Micro HD and it says it's encrypted?? Wasn't like that earlier this week???
