    Radio on Azbox HD Premium Plus

    Hello, all! I have an issue with my Azbox that has always troubled me - to a point I rarely listen to radio via satellite. When I hit the "TV/Radio" button on the remote control, it starts moving the dish off of the current satellite. In other receivers I've owned, when I toggled between tv...

    PID Audio RDPi Radio: 4001 (Galaxy 19 [97w] 12060 MHz H 22,0000)

    Help! Could anyone please check if the loss of the RTPi America PID Audio 4001 is my issue or theirs? This is the secondary audio on RTPi America, which is on Galaxy 19 [97w] 12060 H 22.000. I haven't been able to listen to the radio station that comes in that way for a few days. Thanks, guys!

    AZBOX No image after Sleep Mode

    I wonder if anyone else has this issue. If I turn off the Azbox HD Premium+ only from the remote (Sleep Mode), the next day I don't get any picture. I have to reboot to get it back. It basically makes me turn off the button on the back every time. Is this normal?

    SIC Noticias on Telstar 12 (15w)?

    Any of you friends can tell me if SIC Noticias is still on Telstar 12 (15w)? My motor can't reach that far (although I *think* I have enough LOS), and I need confirmation before planting a dish ad hoc. Thank you.

    AZBOX AZBox feature

    Hello, all! I currently own a OpenBox S10, and I am happy with it, overall. However, I have had my eyes set on an AZbox. One of the features I do not like about the Openbox is that it does not let me look at the channel list in a certain bird, unless I move the dish onto that location. With the...

    Sad day...

    I had to take down my 8-footer today, since I'll be moving soon. I hope the new house has good LOS... Sad day, nonetheless...

    Cold = no signal

    I have been having an interesting problem: when the temperature outside falls under 45 F or so, I can't signal off of my KU dish. C-Band comes is fine (cables linked to an Ecoda switch), but no KU. The only way to avoid this is to keep the box turned on, even during the night. In the morning, if...

    Free dbs

    Has anyone compared the *tentative* Free DBS Network *proposed* channel list with some black screen "channels" that popped up on SES1 101w?

    Cables? Switch? What's the problem?

    I have been having issues with my setup. I just bought an Openbox S10 to take the place of a Coolsat 8000HD, which was having issue with moving my 90cm KU dish. I use an Ecoda to switch between my KU and C dishes, and I find it to work well. The Coolsat was having issues and make me constantly...

    Ethernet on Openbox S10

    I just hooked up an Openbox S10, and I'm fairly happy with it. Now, can anyone tell me what I can do with the Ethernet port it comes with? Thanks!

    Ku on a 8-footer

    I have successfully set up an 8-footer, and works great. Except the ku side - can't get it to work! Any tips?

    Telefutura anywhere?

    Has anyone been able to find Telefutura ITC, either Ku or C-Band?

    Powermax SG9120 motor with Coolsat 8000 HD

    Why does my system make me get up on the roof to reset the motor *all the time*? Who's the suspect here, the Coolsat 8000 HD, or the SG9120? Or neither?

    Strong signal between 83W and 61W?

    After learning how hardware limit switches work and adjusting them to gain the ability to scan further eastwards (thanks to the invaluable input of Anole, Johnnynobody, and Crackt), I am now trying to find something past 83W. Any recommendations on a strong transponder to lock signal between...

    Err2

    Friends, I’m having an issue on my newly installed 8-footer. I’m located at 93 W, and I have been scanning satellites in my LOS, being my western limit 135 W (run out of arm). To the east, I scanned 89 W, 87 W, 83 W, and then I get the “Err2” message. First I thought the dish was catching on...

    30W out of range on a SG9120 motor?

    I've been trying with no success to find signal off Hispasat at 30W. I have a 90cm powered by a SG9120. The arc seems to be tracked well, as I get strong signal from 125W to 61.5W (even though nothing to watch on this one). USALS on my CS8000 HD tells me 30W is out of range? I never set any...

    Unstable strength signal

    First of all, Happy New Year, everyone! What would make the strength signal act erratically on a Coolsat 8000 HD? I notice that sometimes, when I am in the middle of moving the dish manually via the motor (because the system requires resetting often, maybe a related problem?), the strength...

    2 dishes, 2 motors, 1 receiver

    After doing some reading, it looks like there is no way to make a VBox7 / 8-footer combination work in the same receiver with a 90cm KU / HH motor. Now, would a coax input selector degrade the signal to the point of preventing it from operating the motors?

    Positioner wiring

    OK, looks like there are 5 wires for 4 "holes"? How do we connect these? Thanks everybody, and Happy Holidays!

    C-Band project

    After much thought and planning, I finally moved ahead with the project of "planting" a 8-footer. It has to be on the roof due to LOS reasons on the property. My immediate question now is: what is the best way to ground the dish? The same way I grounded my 90cm KU-Band dish? Any special...

    Scanning with a DMX741

    I've been experimenting with an 8-footer mesh on the ground before moving it to its permanent place. I'm using a DMX741 lnb with a SV4000 (using one cable, thus activating the internal switch), but I am unsure about scanning with it. I have been able to get a few C band channels on several...

    Focal length and such

    I'm hauled home two 8-footers a few days ago, and I am now trying to make one dish out of the two. The arms supporting the feedhorn on the dish I decided was best are a bit rusty, and I would like to replace them with the arms of the other. Now, I've noticed the news arms are a little bit...

    78.0°W (Simón Bolívar)?

    Lyngsat shows this sat at 78 W. Since my box doesn't have this location on the list, I need to position the dish manually. I have tried to use 11379 H 23000 as my reference, but no luck. Can anyone confirm this bird is out there? Is this tp correct? (I don't have blind scan) Is there a stronger...

    Add sat on Coolsat 8000

    I saw a satellite listed on Lyngsat at 78 W, with a few KU-band channels. My CS 8000 HD does not list that orbital location. How do I go about adding it? I see I can do a "user" sat, but how do I put in the degrees of the location? Or does it have to be done manually (not USALS)?
