But none allow you to edit commercials and burn to DVD from the comfort of the couch ;) Yes, I know you can record to USB drives, and have in the past - real pita setting accurate timers, no editing facilities..So sorry, no, definitely not easier. Besides the shows I watch all classics and no...

Thanks for the suggestion but I need a box with good ole fashioned composite or s-video out ideally, because I record on my DVR and edit and archive to DVD / mostly old 480 line material. I did notice CC improves as the evening wears on (worst time is 6-8 pm, when the new shows I like are on) .

microHD “Geosat Pro” the tiny little stb. Come to thnk of it it used to have trouble with Decades too but only at certain times of the day - prime time, but never this bad as Catchy Comedies. I guess it would be pointless to ask if there was ever a patch for this issue, as developers stopped...

And been having video issues, audio is fine. Its black then comes in intermittently. Rescanned, rebooted, change of channel of menu sometimes brings it in. uHD Pro on 10’ , no issues with any other Weigel chans. Any ideas what changed? From what I can see everythings the same as Decades. Any...

I had the same idea of heating the tabs. I did not remove the old worn nut myself, the retired guy did it for me. He also put the new one in. I am not sure there was a notch for alingment inside the tube, the only notch is at the end of the tube in the photos, but even if there was he probably...

Perhaps Lone Gunman can chime in here as well, seeing he is well-equipped machinist and obviously has some experience doing this acme nut surgery. Incidentally the weld with the nylon nut would probably damage it, unless I bought one of the brass nuts. LG are you selling these to members here...

You can see the damage from the prying on the last one, so I stopped with that nonsense.

Just took these with the sunlamp for brightness and clarity : forgive the green tint, phone anomaly.

Oops, sorry about the messy reply. The laptops keep crashing with this site so had to switch to the phone's browse. Finally feeling a little depressed about this. I even contemplated using LG's method (thanks man), it makes sense as the tabs are not disturbed except for the cut. I will drop by...

Those are some great tips for the flop/strain-relief Arlo! But right now I am dealing with the damage from this past Saturday's 'accident'. I removed the actuator and took it apart. I found the acme nut came off and was sitting at the bottom of the acme screw range !! I should have expected as...

Hi Arlo and everybody. Thank you for the excellent write up, it was very helpful - at least it gave me the confidence to go ahead with a complete stripdown and rebuild - losing my nerve in my old age :( Well, I am happy to report that the job is complete and am very happy with the results. I...

Anybody else experiencing lips sync issues on the Luken transponder (RTV, Heartland) on Eutelsat 113 West A (formerly Satmex ??). Also the PQ is horrendous, what happened to this network? Using uHD, my only HD receiver.

After 25 years of faithful service it's now time to change the acme screw - already done (thanks to friend in C-band since it's inception who still has parts and the tools to do this). Sorry I couldn't witness this and share for safety/covid reasons (no pics either) Now I have brushed all...

Hey folks been a while. Okay so last week I started having issues with above mentioned component i.e. temperamental Vertical. Skew in the Prog menu of my Startrak 400 "kicked" it back to life. There has been a good deal or rain followed by temperature plummeting so I suspect things froze up...

Thanks for chiming in and validating my suspicions. My system IS peaked, and this problem only shows up on certain DVB-S2 signals. My C-lnb is older than the hills, "noisy", but it has served me well and never felt the need to 'upgrade'. I think I will treat myself to a low drift Norsat next...

Thought I 'd start a new thread here and not bury this in the uHD post. Prob: "Bouncing", unsteady, or otherwise intermittent reception on HD content (most, not all) on Geosat uHD. Using: Old C-band LNB (Norsat?), "noisy', TI (never had prob before), system peaked. Options: Newer DRO or PLL...

Btw I have changed out the noisy switching power supply (washing out my HF reception) for a nice hefty linear wall wart. Much quieter but ghosting still there (beginning to think it's RFI from cheap plastic case. Time to spray with conductive paint on inside me thinks. Or better still a metal...

Never mind about the hard drive max. I downloaded the manual and it it's 2 TB (never tried more than 1 TB so not sure how accurate or reliable this - or practical.).

Hi folks sorry to post here but this really is a C-Band related not pirate / hack / DVB nonsense. I forgot how big a drive (ext. USB) this box can format and record to. Up to now I have used a 1 TB drive. But it's full and I want to keep the programming on it (Got the usual SATA "crash" at > 80...

If this is a bug with this chipset (tuner/demodulator) then shouldn't the manufacturer (Airhova) be notified? Or is this all part of some planned obsolescence for the poor old uHD.

Hi wvman. Congrats on picking up that dish. I don't follow you PID solution however. I have those exact numbers on Galaxy 16 (PID's etc) and still get break up there, so I am guessing it's your box that is the reason. My microHD is still struggling with these. Please let us know how the cheap...

I have read up on that box, and thanks for chiming in. The overheating reminds of the issue on the Coolsat 5000 Platinum. That was solved by a cpu fan.

Thanks for your input. You meant HD right? (X2 mini HD)

...Only thing is I can't return it once I bought it sooooo...can one or two kind souls please check how this box does on these problematic channels *** when they are erratic ***. Oh and please mention size of dish time of day.... okay sounding like a shortwave QSL reception report now. Edit...

Here , here..DO NOT contact any provider EVER. point finale ...stupid suggestion PLEASE IGNORE. (Btw I meant if one can do it subtly, masquerading as a student interested in the engineering side of things....did it in the past. But no don't call up telling them you are pinching their signals ...
