It looks like it should be no problem from the footprint maps EUTELSAT 117 West A

I've been waiting for this, I got my DVR box today! 50% off :)

I am using it and not for Glorystar. Works fine for FTA mode...

I have been using the 8000HD Local daily since September 2013. It is not perfect but it works well and is an excellent PVR. The terrestrial tuner is quite sensitive. As a satellite box goes it works better than many I have used and I have never had the urge to hurl it out the window. :biggrin2

Red would be my first choice followed by white.

DirecTV jacked up their prices (again) just over three years ago and I cut their cord. So in March of 2011 I went 100% FTA and OTA. I don't watch what I used to (which is a good thing) and have fun watching what I now get. I have 6 stationary KU dishes and have more than I could possibly watch...

I would have been all over this deal if it were not for the timing of it. Last month for me was the equivalent of a financial forest fire after being rear ended by an uninsured driver and having my car totaled out. I have been looking for a new C-band dish for some time that would be...

Since the power in is 12VDC the line frequency is 0hz. Clock must operate independent of 60hz household power.

I am a firm believer in UPS usage. The MicroHD is plugged into a UPS and I imagine with its low power draw, it would run for a very long time, recording its DVR timer schedule through a lengthy power outage.

That almost sounds like a feature :)

My SL1PLL must be stuck somewhere in the bowels of the postal system....

What I do is go to an accurate channel such as GodTV and turn the GMT on and set the proper zone to get accurate local time. Then I turn the GMT off and the time stays accurate until the power is interrupted. If there is a better way, I have yet to happen upon it.

"I,rad360, promise to honestly review the new SL1PLL LNBF to the best of my ability on the Satelliteguys forum within one week of receiving my prize."

DVR Would it be possible to get a "confirm delete" for the DVR? I hit the yellow button by mistake (easy to do because the yellow button brings up the file list. I am used to buttons acting as a toggle) and zapped a file by accident. Lucky I already watched the program 'cause its gone now. Thanks.

My order for the MicroHD was placed at 4:43 am pacific time at the start of the promo and it shipped today YES, i AM excited. My friends kid me for being such an early riser, it does pay off sometimes :D I am 2 days ground shipping from Sacramento, can't wait.
