    GEOSATpro Multiple Recordings Fail maincode 2013-2-18

    I don't do a lot of recording so I don't know if this is new or not but... when two or three recordings are set on a single satellite for a single day it records the first one properly but removes the others without recording. There is plenty of space on the NTFS drive and it records correctly...

    GEOSATpro Closed Caption on Timed Recording

    Is there a way to capture closed caption on a recording started by a timer? Can it record as it does when started manually with CC already set?

    GEOSATpro Starting at a specific time in a long recording

    I am probably missing something obvious but how is a specific start time set in a long recording? If a recording is six hours, how can it be started at the five hour mark?

    GEOSATpro Logo File Types and MediaBox Motor Types

    Received a microHD yesterday - nice box. Very refreshing to have a unit with a comprehensive manual designed for my purposes. No more trying to divine answers to technical questions from arcane websites. Can the logos use other file types than m2v? I could try a few but thought I would ask...

    satelliteav.com web problem

    When I click on the links for satelliteav.com I get a message from zoneedit rather than the SatelliteAV site. The other day I tried to order a microHD on line (from Canada) and had a message to call for quote. Unfortunately I have been unable to call at the appropriate times. I tried emailing...

    AZBOX Ultra 9.5402 Recording Time Problem

    My Ultra, running 9.5402 with hardware acceleration set 'off' records at the correct time and for the set length of time but doesn't make available the record time with the saved file. During playback, the time reads 0 of 0 so there is no option to advance, stop/continue or replay. It will only...

    Using EIRP

    Is there a way to theorize an approximate effect using the difference between two EIRP values? If, for example, a dish is getting an SNR of 80 and a BER of 0 from a satellite reported to have an EIRP value of 42 for the area can an SNR and BER for an adjacent satellite with a reported EIRP of...

    Bud Dish Availability in Canada

    I can find C satellite dish lnbs and actuators for sale in Canada but can't find a dish anywhere. As parts are available I must be missing the point on sourcing the dish. I am concerned about shipping costs so have tried to keep my search within the country, preferably close to the east coast...

    Enigma2 'Fast DiSEqC', 'Use Power Measurement'

    Would someone please explain what commands 'Fast DiSEqC' and 'Use Power Measurement' under DiSEqC settings in Enigma2 Release 1.7.0 do and when they are applicable? I've had no luck searching including a document from Eutelsat describing the DiSEqC command set.

    AZBox Stab HH120 Problem

    I have an AZBox connected to a Stab HH120 that is not working correctly. The AZBox Ultra works fine with a fixed dish but with the Stab it works sometimes, not at all at other times and moves back and forth over the requested position much of the time. It over shoots the goal as...

    AZBox Ultra HD various firmware releases including 0.9.5309 - For all other transponders the unit switches very quickly but for Galaxy 19, 12152H it takes upwards of a minute when moving from any other satellite, transponder or even PID on the same frequency. The details have been captured...

    AZBox movie downloads

    As the AZBox HD can play movies, I thought I would have a look around the Internet to see what downloads are available in suitable formats. What a Pandora's box - nothing like sites promising everything for practically nothing for raising concerns about legitimacy and empty commitments. Does...

    Winegard DS-2076 Stab HH120

    I have a Winegard DS-2076 and purchased a Stab HH120 to move it about (the SG2100 was not working correctly). Well, that was an error. Does anyone know of an adapter kit or alternative Winegard mount that would allow them to be used together? Barring that, I wonder what solutions others might...

    Atlantic Canada FTA dealer

    Does anyone know of an FTA or satellite dealer in Atlantic Canada who sells the Digiwave DWD-120C or something similar? I am looking for a large dish to catch AMC 21 (or more to the point 12140) more consistently. The 36" dish in place now is iffy. I can't justify driving to Ontario (the closest...

    SonicView 8PSK Sub-Board Adapter

    We use a SonicView 8000HD mostly pointed at AMC21 for our television viewing. As MPEG 4 is finding its way into the delivery system I have two questions regarding the SonicView 8PSK, Sub-Board Adapter and HD Module Upgrade Kit available through Sonic Electronix. Is this board a hacker’s tool or...

    Second dish 22KHz switch SonicView HD8000

    I want to add a second dish to the components listed in my signature. AMC 21 is unreachable from the first dish. I am using a DISEQC 4 Port Switch between the motor and the Invacom LNBs on the first dish. Will a Digiwave 0/22KHz work with this configuration using the 22KHz function on the...

    AMC 3 PBS Atlantic Canada

    I continue to receive strong signals from AMC 3 (11716 and others) but for a month there has been no signal from the PBS transponders. I see by the posts there were problems about the same time I lost it altogether. Is anyone else in the region having similar issues? Has the footprint has changed?
