I used a Super-glue; any sort should do, or use contact cement, which may be best as it remains elastic. Contact cement should work with any type of rubber padding that one chooses. I like the Tire patch sheets because it's nicely prepped for a long-lasting bond. The other side is perfect for...

I have used small portions of a rubber tire patch by cutting two square pads that will fit the scalar ring pads which are the two points of contact. I sanded the areas to be glued and placed the two rubber pads on the scalar ring and it works great for securing the LNB in position without it...

The latest one dated July 19, 2013, it's the same as the STB came with when I bought it recently.

Ku motor and 8X1 DiSEqC switch working together on my receiver I've been testing my two new X2 Premium HD receivers. FYI, I was attracted to this STB for the DiSEqC 1.1 feature along with the DVB-S2 Blind scanner. I'm now reporting what I have experienced today with this STB and the 8X1 switch...

Hi, if I am reading your post correctly, I may help define the positioning system in Pansat and alike; the assigned numbers are related to the 360° configuration. Each receiver type may represent this in various ways but the main idea is that they use simple math in determining the numbers for...

@ Fat Air, you have some interesting thoughts and questions, and this point about the 4x1 sw with the 1.2 logo, and if it will control a motor on the other side (between RX and Motor) and after the 4x1 sw. I myself have not studied up much on this subject as we seem to still learn new things...

I've recently wondered about the receivers that do and do not have the DISEqC 1.1 protocol option that controls up to 16 ports. It's been noted here in an old 2008 thread that is closed but I question that too when I read what other sources say about switch control. It's said that both 1.1 and...

Thanks Guyz!!! Lak7, I was suspecting that this was still an issue as I didn't read of any solution yet provided. Does anybody know what the specs are on the Flash-rom and SDRAM? I don't find anything in the mfr specs. Thus far, this receiver has more going for it than many other high...

Thanks for your reply. I'm hoping I can get answers to all these questions. Over the time that you've used this receiver, what's your overall opinion?

OPENBOX S9 HD Hi Guys, This thread has valuable info and I've read nearly every post but I have some questions if any of you can please answer. 1. How is this box working with the RTV S2 feeds on AMC-3 (87w) C-band? 2. Are there any HDD and/or enclosure compatibility issues? 3. What's the...

Scott, Mike123abc hit the nail on the head, this type of malware does not need to be on your servers, I too suspect it was linked to one of your sponsor ads. Unfortunately we don't know which one and if the infected sponsor is maintaining their servers properly they will find and terminate it...

DJ Rob, I have Malwarebytes and much more, it's not on my PC, I caught it before it was planted. These don't get planted unless you click on them and I didn't. They first appear from a source as a warning and then when the user clicks on it then it will infest itself. I've seen these before and...

Thanks for your reply, you're talking to a cerified PC repair tech and I know what this is and it's not my PC as you say. I have very good antivirus software and it was just scanned yesterday and then this happens the first time I login to SatelliteGuys since weeks ago. My registry is clean and...

Here we go again, another new hijack when I attempted to open the login page to SatelliteGuys. I'm getting really tired of this sort of stuff :mad:

Since my last post this morning I tested it again by first deleting all TP's then a factory default, I then manually input the Qpsk settings and scanned, all channels scanned in, I then did the same TP deletion and a factory reset then input the 8psk settings and scanned, all the channels...
