THANKS for the fast reply and helpful information. That would be nice to go as low as 5w BUT I'd be shooting thru a chain link fence at that elevation although if on top of the one two story building downtown, I "might" be able to see it. Tpo bad I got rid of that H-H mount I had, although I...

Been a long time since I been on here folks. Since I got broadband, I've been streaming alot BUT just recently got back into watching SES1 (Heroes, Decades, Movies). Still got the 12 year Perfect Ten 10 footer sitting 14 foot above the ground with the C/KU feed on it the kind man gave me last...

The powering situation is what I just ordered today. Order the powered multi-switch with a dual voltage power inserter. I was overthinking this thing. I just needed STEADY 15-24 v power for either LNB since (DUH), still using the polar motor. LNBF's, I'll probably use another receiver anywho...

WOW!. Yea, I'm sure it would work. Only prob. Both LNBS are single output on my corotors. I'm looking at your 125 PBS feed however. Is that single feed, single polarity? I've not got the second BUD or the 36 inch (soon I hope to be 6 foot) offset hooked in at all. Would really like to use those...

Got one of those V-name deleted receivers JUST to use as a plain-jane replacement for my other two that croaked. Both diseqs work on my old Viewsat Legacy receiver flawlessly BUT it only receives DVB-S. Software on the new box allows me to try and connect to different ports on the switch, but...

My sentiments almost to a T....Except, I'll go a bit further. I would be thrilled to have a unit that can atleast RUN a normal 4 x 1 Diseq!. The X2 could barely and eventually croaked pwr-wise with only the offer of "Send it back, pay more. Next model BETTER" and then get zero response from X2...

The STOP key. That's what the dude that sold it to me LEFT out. He said the green key. Whaaaaaaat???? The SCART works for now although CVBS stinks compared to HDMI.

Thanks for the link. Bit too expensive for me at 89 bux however. I like the idea of the Zinwells. Need two of them though to input into a regular diseq. Neither my 4x1 1,1 or 8x1 1.2 works at ALL...

I might want to find one of those powered switches. Any suggestions on what to buy and for how much. OH, btw, the V8s arrived Weds WITHOUT any firmware loaded on it! (#@**!). Display on box showed it booting, loading, then just four hypens. Only thing the remote would do is turn it on and off...

Oh yea, the FAT receiver died too. Had to pull out an old Viewsat and watch dvb-s-only programming for the past two weeks. HOPE the V8s has a strong and reliable Diseq output unlike the X2 and Fat pathetic ones...

NOPE, they overheat and have a notoriously WIMPY power output. Mine finally croaked two weeks ago completely. Inquiries to get it repaired to X2 have gone completely unanswered. Freesat V8s arrives today (hopefully). Out-for-delivery the tracking # sez....Let's see if the mail person can tell...

NO, the logo is up all the time with the schedule.

AMEN brother!. I tolerate it for now until I can save up for a V8s because the Fat won't decode over half the audio out there...

Is that the new one that supposedly FIXED the power problem. Mine still gives me intermittent fits. (regular X2). Have to do a partial rescan sometimes to get it to recognize certain channels. Also, freezes channel changes at times. Still better than one of those "Fat Boyz" on audio processing.

I am glad someone with a V7 or V8s got to comment. BTW, which V8s do you have?. The OpenBox one or the true Freesat?. I've noticed the Obox V8s is often much cheaper. Right now, on my budget, I'd have to be satisfied with the V7 for now. My X2 is still acting a little freaky with the Green power...
