I just dug the MicroHD out of mothballs and wanted to see if there was any updated firmware. Like others, I had a boot loop issue from having deleted transponders but not deleting the satellite. I ordered the serial cable and discovered that some of the pins needed to be moved to the right...

I recently sold a 'no-name' box to a family that views foreign language programs on G19. They were glad to get it and I was glad to get rid of it. I spent $28 on the box and sold it for $20 and got more than $8 worth of education from it. WooHoo!

Thanks...

In looking at different receivers, some, like Freesat convert AC3 while others, like X2 convert Dolby and AC3. I need to know more... Thanks

So what are you taking by injection and what were you diagnosed with, if you don't mind me asking? Look for a pm in your inbox.

Methotrexate once a week and a shot once a week have allowed me to return to an active life. Prednisone didn't do it. Can't drink alcohol. Don't even miss it.

Has anyone tried a "Dolby Digital Optical Coax Toslink to Analog RL RCA Audio Decoder Converter" as seen on the auction site to get dolby audio from one of these boxes? They are cheap enough and come with good ratings.

After using the MicroHD for the last few years, I dusted off the AZBox Premium HD+ to see if it was worth keeping. With that box, I learned a great deal about FTA, buggy software and corruption, linux, FTP, and the personalities that wanted to protect their niche in the market. I think it was...

Good point. No, I did not. I used a small desk fan and directed it at the box from below, then above. I did not think of drawing air through the box. Thanks...

FWIW, I tried setting a fan underneath the box and then on top of the box to help cool it. I gained a few seconds of time before the boot loop started again. I will play with the box again today while I wait for a return authorization. This is not my first box. The MicroHD continues to perform...

Well, now it's my turn. An X2 M1-HD arrived today. During setup, it began the boot loop and when I turned it off, it restarted all by itself and did the boot loop again. I've contacted the seller before searching for solutions on Satellite Guys. This is a timely topic. I purchased one a year ago...

LOL... I've always got time for Red Green seeing as I'm mostly handy and a little bit handsome. :-)

Here are a couple more shots. This was a temporary installation until a larger dish could be permanently installed elsewhere. Almost all of the information in setting it up was gleaned from this forum. The dish is no longer installed and the mount now supports some solar panels which can be...

Here's a couple of photos of a temporary mount that I made. Shingles on the ground keep the grass from growing. Pallet is reinforced with extra screws. Support arms made from conduit. Fence post for a pole. The main difficulty was keeping the pole plumb since the mount was laid out on frozen...
