    Azbox hardware acceleration option

    I noticed my AZBox tends to run hot so I just put a $20 cooling fan that I had bought from Rat Shack for somthing else on top of it (so that it pulls air out not blows air in). The AZbox has been running nice and cool since I did that.

    Manual changing of audio PID???

    I don't know if it's the same thing but I select differt audio channels on channels that offer it by hitting MENU>AUDIO LIST> Select disired audio channel.

    can this dish be motorized?

    Maybe if you could find a polar mount for it. Sadoun carries a 1.8 meter dish that comes with the polar mount for almost exactly the same price, but the shipping's not free. All you would need to motorize it is an actuator. Here's the link: Polar Mount Style SD180PM Sadoun 180CM Prime focus...

    What's your favorite Satellite?

    If budget and LOS permits...how about a dish with a motor? That would get many more satellites while only using one dish and still would be able to be hidden. Personally I would find it hard to choose between just one or two satellites. Plus things have a tendency to move around.

    I liked Enterprise. It's a shame they pulled the plug on it though. Just when the plot was starting to get good.

    DG380 and FortecStar 1.2 meter dish problems

    I've run it with both the push buttons on the motor and the receiver with the same results. I'll have to dig up my voltmeter to see if I can test the voltage coming through the cable. The motor runs really well on the western side of the arc, it just seems to have trouble on the eastern side...

    List of English only channels?

    Keep in mind some channels have different audio tracks available as well. There are a couple of Brazilian channels I watch that offer a English audio stream. Of course the commercials and such are still in Portuguese but I would say 90% of the programming has English audio. :)

    DG380 and FortecStar 1.2 meter dish problems

    I have had a horizontal TP selected. I even took a power inserter out to dish and hooked everything up so that the motor was getting 18v (I was thinking maybe my cable run was too long) and it still did the same thing. I've also tried putting the dish in different positions on the motor shaft...

    DG380 and FortecStar 1.2 meter dish problems

    I finally got around to replacing the screw in my DG380. Unfortunately it did not solve my problem. The motor still drives west and comes back with no problems, but it performs miserably when it goes east. It just refuses to go back west once it's moved about 20 degrees east of my true...

    SyFy

    Reminds me when I used to get Fox News from NPS, there was this one commercial with a loudmouthed guy who was approaching the camera and pointing at you. Then just as he was about to open his mouth to say something bam another commercial was spliced in over him...always gave me a chuckle when...

    AHHHGGG!! Stop that wrecking ball!

    I experienced something similar on the way to work today. There's a really nice looking 10 foot dish that I've been eyeballing for the longest time...Today it was ripped up from the ground, concret on the end of the post and all, just laying there in the front lawn. I was really tempted to...

    on c band 6 feet dish should i get polar mount or stationary

    Maybe he means 166E? Although I think that's below the horizon for PA.

    installing a 6 foot dish

    It depends on your location, the satellite(s) you're trying to receive, and the height of the tree(s) in question. I have a 20' tree that is about 15' or so in front of my 10' and 4' dishes, but since my lattitude is around 30 degrees and the tree is due south it doesn't really interfere with...

    AZBox Beep on Signal?

    Well, the Coolsat 8100 I have does make a sound when you get a signal...it's more of a shriek than a beep though...grates on the nerves.

    so what model and how much would an AZBox cost if I want 4:2:2 DVB-S2 and HD

    I didn't care about the wireless because I have a wireless ethernet bridge. I just connected my Elite and several other devices in my home theater that want internet connections to the bridge. Plus the bridge is N-band instead of G.

    Sonicview moves dish when off

    My Sonicview used to do that before I took the "hack" firmware off of it. It just does that when it's trying to update the program guide, which is useless for FTA anyway. Try putting factory firmware on it and see if that stops it.

    Random act of kindness- FTA

    That's kind of coincidental...I work at the VA hospital :)

    Random act of kindness- FTA

    No problem, and keep your eyes open on the road trip, if you get to make one, too. You never know you might come across a nice dish even closer to home. :)

    Random act of kindness- FTA

    Most of them are in fair to good condition. Only one that I've seen is in poor condition and that's the one at the dairy that looks like it got hit by a tractor. I've used Google Maps with Streetview to show the two dishes in Gainesville. The images aren't high resolution but it will give...

    Random act of kindness- FTA

    I live in Bell, FL and the dishes are from my house to Gville...The Birdview is on the outskirts of Chiefland and I know of a couple of Paraclipses around Lake City. There are two dishes I have spotted in Gainesville, and there are at least 3 within 15 miles west of Gainesville. I don't go on...

    Random act of kindness- FTA

    Well, I live about 40 miles west of Gainesville, FL and I know where there are about 15 c-band dishes within a 40 or so mile radius. There's even a Birdview among them. I only suspect one of actually being in use and there's one that appears as if a tractor has backed into it.

    What TP are you referring to? The feeds on there are pretty strong but RTV is weaker.

    Review: Sonicview SV-HD8000

    The two main issues I had when the capacitors needed to be replaced were: Very slow or no boot up Screen flickering when saving changes If your SV is just hanging up more than likely it is a software issue as Zamar said. I would try factory reset first.

    Dish indentification

    Is the dish also missing one of it's mesh panels? I noticed that it looked as if one was missing in your first set of pictures and the shadow of your second set of picutres seems to indicate that a panel is missing as well. If the dish is on the south side of your house you most likely won't...
