    I think that is what I am going to do this weekend is try some different firmware(s)... I am running the firmware that is posted here.. a buddy of mine was having some problems with the "stock" firmware so as soon as I got mine I updated it without even trying it out. So I may roll it back to...

    An Observation - Manhattan -vs- Azbox Elite

    I had a AZbox ultra and I was quite annoyed with the blindscan. It took a long time and didn't work that well. After lightning took out my AZ Ultra I replaced it with the Openbox S10 with the latest firmware.. love the Accurate scan.. but if I leave it on a HD channel for more than about two...

    Modified Multiswitch for Ortho setup help!!

    I am going to try it this weekend. I should have rephrased on the lnb... its not the "original" original Birdview LNB that would only work with the Birdview receivers.. its the later "modified" Birdview LNB's that had the new what I think was called the "high block" so it would work with other...

    Modified Multiswitch for Ortho setup help!!

    I need help again! I have been reading posts about moding a Eagle Aspen 4X4 or a zinwell switch so I can use it with a ortho type setup so that the 13 volts go to one port and 18 volts go to the other port to do the Horizontal and Vertical polarity switch. I guess I want to know is what...

    1000.2 and 722 connections

    I am thinking of getting dish network now that my DSR-410 has totaly died and I don't want to spend the money to get a new "used" box. I would like to know how to connect it with the stuff I have already. I have a 1000.2 dish already installed on the house (was there when I moved in) with the W...

    Sumertime Lightning and 4DTV

    I lost my DSR-410 and my AZ box just a couple of weeks ago to lightning. It took out the TV, my HK receiver, Blueray player, and the LNB on the fixed dish for the DSR-410 and the LNB on the Birdview for the AZ box. The LNB power supply is junk in the AZ Box and the DSR-410 is totaly fried. So...

    What is fasication with Birdview Dishes??

    I love my BV, I have had no problem yet with DVB-S2 5/6 signals. I am using a AZbox Ultra, and have a DMS 741 LNB. I machined out the scalar to fit the LNB and am using a 48 count rotary encoder for feedback to the Gbox mover. Main reason I like my dish so much is everything on it is HEAVY...

What I want to do it use the control board in one of the Ku dish movers to control a second high current relay board that will run the H-H motor...

    C Band Subcriptions

    I have my DSR-410 (W5 subscription) tv running through my Harmon Kardon receiver that does upscaleing and I cannot believe how good of a picture I get. I watch it on a Samsung 46" LED LCD monitor. My folks have a pizza dish they use for their RV so I hooked it up just to compare between the...

    Going to pick up a birdview this weekend, questions.

    Yup. That is it. I am also going to get a complete one ordered. I think Sadoun has one pretty cheap in their bargen bin. What I want to do in theory is connect a separate 36 volt power supply and two separate higher current relays. The two current relays (blue ones on this board) will...

    Going to pick up a birdview this weekend, questions.

    What, If you don't have any luck with the reed switch as far as positioning this is what I did. I started out by getting a rotary encoder, this is just a little device that makes pulses when the shaft is rotated. These are used in a lot of industrial applications for motion control, I have...
