Absolutely! Unfortunately this is one of those things that so many people in this hobby just don't get. You always see people making this statement on FTA site and using it as justification to post feed information publicly. But what it actually shows is how little they actually understand the...

Those are used on large commercial dishes to mount multiple feeds for reception from multiple satellites. For those to work well you'll need a large dish like 12' or more. Otherwise the off center mounted feeds will suffer performance wise and you may also have issues with getting closely spaced...

With all due respect, I think you guys are completely missing the boat here and are headed entirely in the wrong direction. I have the original AZBOX elite and for the most part I love it and always have. The reason I love is it does what I want and need it to do, which is allow me to watch...

Yes. That's normal behavior for these receivers (the dsr-4800/dte-71xx series). Also, if the unit ID has gone bad it will rarely show as all zeros. It just will not match the one on the label. It will be some random number. Bits in a memory chip aren't all zero after initial power up. At the...

With a really good 8.5 footer, that's well aligned, you'll get some S2. If it's a really great dish,like my birdview, you might be able to most of the s2 signals. However, those who say they get "all" of the s2 signals on an 8.5 foot dish, probably don't really know what "all" means, because...

I believe the HDD-1000 might handle that. So feed the hsi out into an HDD-1000 decoder. Note that's not a typo. Older DCII receivers had hsi instead of ASI like the newer ones have and all HDD-1000s had hsi in. Some of them had ASI as well. of course some old DCII receivers had something called...

Is it acceptable to post things like this in the open forum? I thought there used to be rule that feeds not listed on lyngsat couldn't be posted in the open forum. Anyway, my undrestanding is the Fox networks are making some major changes right now and moving to a new format.That's probably the...

I'm sure you probably didn't realize it, but you gave an incorrect answer to the question asked on your ebay auction page. The question I'm referring to is the one regarding a battery. As far as I know every DCII receiver uses a battery to power the memory that stores the unit ID and...

And lest we forget Tsreader also support ASI and SPI input devices and includes serial control for some of the more popular commercial receivers like the DSR-4800 for DCII or newtec demods for trellis 8psk. Also the Pro version supports ASI and SPI output, which if one happens to have a dvb-s2...

That's a function of the device driver for your particular tuner card. I use Tsreader all the time for "dvb-s2 and other formats" and have done so for a very long time. If you can't do so, it's not Rod's fault. It's somekind of limitation in the driver or source module for your hardware.

With your receiver there's no way to do so. However, it can be controlled by a PC with an RS-422 serial port and the appropriate software. That's the way it's done in headends. The bad news is the software to do so usually cost big bucks. Perhaps there's some free or low cost software out there...

QPSK S2? I think you likely mean 8psk and not QPSK, because in theory QPSK S2 should be easier to lock than regular QPSK dvb-S because the FEC coding used with DVB-S2 works better. It's 8psk where the trouble begins and that's just because 8psk in general requires a much better signal. DVB-S2...

I picked up one of these a while back on ebay. I haven't been able to do anything with mine as I don't know the password to log in. Anyone know how to possible reset or retrieve the password on one of these? The seller didn't have any idea what the password was as they were basically a...

Not saying that there aren't other issues also like buggy firmware or the receivers hardware simply not be able to handle the video but for an 8PSK signal with 9/10 FEC rate 80 to 90% quality is marginal at best on the Pansat 9000. I own a pansat 9000, so I'm speaking from experience.

Since you brought up Equity, let's refresh everyone's memory just a bit. There was a time when all of their signal was unencrypted and there was a time when they had to encrypt some of their Fox channels. They were forced to. I'm just bringing this up because some seem to think it's simply the...

Indeed, the issue is often times much more complex than it would appear on the surface. Often times people who are new to the hobby don't realize how complex. Usually there are many separate parties involved who may have certain legal rights with regard to programming and content. This can...
