Hello, I see a dealer on eBay is selling the Geosatpro 36" dish with 2 LNBs at 4-degree offset, to get two satellites 4 degrees apart at the same time. I'd love to get SES-3 (NBC) and G16 (CBS_Newspath) on this dish, but my question is... Given that I don't think the Geosatpro is an oval dish...

My AZBox does NOT move a dish. I wasn't aware that it even could move a BUD. I'm just using it for 4:2:2 video.

Hello, as of today I am the proud owner of FIVE blown AZBox power supplies. Yes, the fuse is blown in the newest one, but it smells "burnt" so I doubt replacing the fuse would solve the problem (it never has before, for me). I notice on Amazon you can buy a 12V 5A supply and a separate 24V 1A...

Hello, I finally upgraded my computer to -S2 with the Prof S2-7301 card and I installed the DVBdream software included in my Win XP dual-core computer. I'm having a little trouble with the scheduler: especially if the software is running minimized (but maybe even if not), the program freezes...

I've been getting NBC on AMC18, 3780Mhz,30000,5/6,Pilot=on, on four different receivers. (I use 2 or 3 at the same time to mix the audio). But starting this week, two receivers, my Pansat 9200 with the original 8PSK card, and my Dreambox 800, are showing 0/0 - no signal, no quality, on this...

Thanks guys, a number of you sent me drivers and I have at least that part working. Also, MyTheatre v3.?? seems to be recording okay. (Vers 4.? still doesn't seem to recognize the card). But, I don't have any picture on the screen. I went to the "set audio and video codecs" section and chose a...

Hello, I was trying to install an old Twinhan VP1020a card in a new computer, but when I tried to go to their website to download a driver, www.twinhan.com, it doesn't seem to be there! Maybe this is a temporary problem but if anyone could help with a driver I'd appreciate it. I checked some of...

If you like the AZbox, why not just get the $295 AZbox... that's pretty cheap for something you already know...--Gary

Dreambox not THAT hard to use! I'll disagree with Ironside about Dreambox not being 'plug and play.' I had never used one before and I got NBC-HD (-S2) in less than 30 minutes. The second time I set one up in under 10 minutes. You do not NEED to load any extra files or anything like that to...

The Coolsat 8000 is actually FANTASTICALLY SENSITIVE for both DVB-S2 and DVB-S signals.In my system, you don't even need to connect the Coolsat to get -S2 reception - it gets enough "leak" through the air! (of course there is a big dish causing the "leak").If you can't get it with the Coolsat...

As I've been testing Dreambox DM800 HD and DM500HD (not to be confused with the older SD DM500 model) for the past few months, I'll wade in here.First I'll mention that on UpdateLee's recommendation, I updated to "PLI" software, a NON-HACK alternative software for Dreamboxes. This provided...

"Would a DVB-S2 computer card perform better?"I would say, all STB's I've used for DVB-S2, perform better than the Pansat 9200HD. Of course, each one has it's own problems.In theory, a computer card could work very well, but what is your ultimate output? If it's your computer screen or your...

THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE of the Pansat 9200HD receiver, so I wouldn't be surprised if you have the same problem with the 9000HD. If by "jerkiness," you mean: the picture doesn't update 30 times a second (or 29.94 or 59.88 or whatever), but rather it seems that frames repeat. I call this...

Clarifying a few points... >Any receiver, Azbox included can do L&R Actually, the AZbox CAN'T. That's my point. The analog outputs appear limited to mono. You can do LEFT+RIGHT, but not Left & Right as separate channels. >it wouldn't matter in the least whether the various channels you...

Hi BJ, First off, please don't knock the quality of RCA outputs to a 42 or 50" plasma TV and a good surround-sound receiver, unless you've tried it! Of course it's not "HD" but it's a very good way for me to store thousands of hours of video/audio on hard-disk/DVD recorders. Second, you...

Why use RCA outputs? I've come to realize that my hobby - taping things - isn't the same as most FTA hobbiests, who apparently prefer to watch things ;-) And yes I'm aware you can make recordings to a hard disk (which almost works some of the time, and produces a file which may be compatible...

No specific replies to this question??... Does this mean I'm the only one here who wants analog stereo output from their satellite receiver, or are all of you simply agreeing that stereo doesn't work from the RCA and SCart outputs on any AZbox model?thanks--Gary

As of this morning, the ISS Hour show is in full HD !--Gary

Hello,Sorry if this has already been covered, but, I've heard there is a problem getting stereo audio from the analog RCA output jacks on some AZbox models.My question is, if you have an AZbox, and you're SURE you're getting stereo from the RCA outputs, could you possibly tell us which AZbox...

My neighbor's always complaining about the old motorcycle I display in my 'rock garden.'Oddly enough, it's impossible to see from their house except when they come on my property to empty their trash... but I guess just knowing it's there makes them feel bad.--Gary

Well, those small dishes are really ugly, they look like poisonous mushrooms. But big dishes are like high-tech art. (of course).The big dishes do make some noise when you move them, though. My neighbor built an illegal 3rd unit in his backyard, and then complained that my dish made too much...

Although the Twin Cities are pretty central, I still think you'll regret getting a 6-foot dish for C-band. Especially with the cross-sat interference, you will probably have trouble on many signals. I have 10-foot and wouldn't recommend anything smaller, but if you are closer to the center of...

I'm sure these guys make a great dish for the price, but I bought a WS 90cm dish and after 6 months, all the hardware is rusted. None of my other dishes - some up for decades - are rusted. Also, the 'mount' was hard to mount on the side of my roof, hard to aim, and after a few rainstorms...

If you don't need HD or DVB-S2, you can probably find good FTA receivers for $99 or maybe a few cents more. My cheapest receiver is a Pansat 4500 and it works pretty well for what it does. The video color is too bright but other than that - it's even got blind scan and works as a DVR if you...

NASA-HD weekend Schedule Ok, so NASA scooped me on this story, but I will still scoop them by telling you what's actually on the HD channel this weekend.I don't have actual start times, but here are the programs you should see running in a loop.* Not necessarily in this order (sorry).ISS Hour -...
