    PBS Counting Satellite Viewers

    I called. Please everyone call and take the survey. I depend on this feed and have very poor internet. PBS wont keep the KU feeds on 125 long term either they have plans to move off those too. Also the ku feeds dont come in well for me due to extreme winter weather. I live in the country and...

    I also did wiresharks while changing channels. I found where the vivant remote app querying some xml files and was able to grab them with my computer in the same way. It was mostly and xml file of dnla service definitions. When I changed channels the packets were filled with gibberish almost...

    I did wireshark it earlier this week. The geosat receiver connects back TO the vivant app when you hit stream av. Then the next thing you get in the wireshark is port not available and the tcp connection is reset by the sat box. Either the sat box is connecting back to the vivant remote app on...

    The vivant remote app for ios works for controlling the satellite box but there are no remote streaming options with it. What am I missing?

    Just watch out on that sat-atsc converter. Its a united kingdom website and I thought it odd that a UK company would sell anything ATCS since its a north american standard. The spec sheet doesnt mention ATSC at all but DVB-T and DVB-C as outputs. Maybe an email to the company would be in order...

    Painting a 10ft Unimesh

    Any input on what kind of paint I should (or should not) use on a 10ft unimesh dish? Its current factory paint job is wearing off in spots/getting powdery. Im just concerned that certain types of paint would affect signal reflection. I plan on using rustolium enamel flat black or glossy either...

    Ok Before when you hit record it would pop up with a box allowing you to input for how long. Now there is no input box it just starts recording. How do you set a stop time for an ad hoc recording?

    Ive got to say this is probably thee best firmware yet. Im noticing speed improvements too with the the pvr functions. Amazing! Those still trying to use a usb memory stick probably will have issues as those arent fast enough. I have a 1tb sata in a usb3 external 2.5 inch drive enclosure. No...

    Geosat 3500 VS Linkbox9000

    Movies is the only feed I cant get on 101 :(. I forgot about that one. I forgot because I get it fine on 99west. If I do a channel scan maybe three times in a row Ill have to rename the channels correctly but all will come in except Movies on 101. Thats the only feed on the whole arc I cant get...

    Geosat 3500 VS Linkbox9000

    Id just like to say I love my geosat 3500 :) it picks up even the most narrow signals including the NPR feeds on 99w. It does the music choice acm feeds and 16apsk feeds. The one drawback I have is it can be laggy when pausing/playing live tv (using the dvr functions) otherwise very happy. I...

    I want to thank A Raine for suggesting to put a better heat sink on. Just as his box mine had the heat sink held on with just a dot of compound with 80% of the cpu not touching the heat sink. I pulled the old sink off and put a much larger one on with new quality compound. Seems much more stable...

    Current Info on PBS at 103?

    Pbs was often unlock-able on my old 6ft dish. SOLID on 8ft DH and my 10ft Unimesh. It is highly likely you will have issues with 6ft.

    Same issue here on the 101west movies feed. Its so close to the others that if I scan that frequency any one of the other feeds (decades, metv etc) scan in its place! Regardless of manually entering things or moving the freq up and down! For now I use the krbk movies feed but its a a frustrating...

    Also... It seems the timeshift issue I explain before the lockup happens after the exact same time every time. Pause then later hit play. Seemed 15min then receiver freezes. I looked in settings and timeshift is set to 15min? What is that setting? You can put it up to a few hours. Do I have this...

    Im getting pause and drop out of audio and video recording pbs hd as well. Its winter and my house is at 63. Id also like to know how to add recording time when you hit record and it asks you how long and later you decide you need to add time to it most receivers you just hit record again and up...

    Cold

    I agree. When I had a 6ft dish cband would do similar things at night. With the 10ft same lnbf , wiring, pole and motor its solid. Sorry I cant be of more help.

    GEOSATpro HDVR3500 - New DVBS2 STB - Photos and Initial Testing

    Ok. Good to hear what Im getting into beforehand and that it solved most of your lockup issues. My lockups happen during timeshift only and probably due to heat then as timeshift is when the box has to do the most work (record and play at the same time). I will look into using compound and then...
