    Az Premium Plus problem

    I lay down the other day watching the Azbox and passed out for a couple of hours. When I woke up the display was dark and no response from it in any shape or form. I think the external power supply quit. The box where the cord converts to the plug for the back of the Az doesn't have the little...

    Pansat 9200 and Chapparel feedhorn

    Is there any way to control polarity with a 9200 and Chapparel feedhorn? I am trying to get away from the combo lnbf's. The dish is moved by a Gbox. I know some of the older Pansat's had polarity control but the 9200 has nothing to hook the wires up to.

    Pansat 9200 power problem

    My 9200 suddenly shut off the other day. Now it will not power up. I have seen a couple of threads in the past with capacitors (I think it was caps) that have failed. I have the box open and the power supply out. How can I tell if one is blown? I am not an electronics expert but I think if I can...

    SM-2200 TRIMAX meter

    What do the guys that have one think of them? Price seems pretty decent and it has some good features. I have seen several threads about these but never have seen any comments about the owners opinion.

    What is the difference

    Between the premium and the premium plus? Is it just the extra tuner or is there more?

    Azbox Miami

    I bought my premium plus from Calyani.com which I think is Azbox Miami. They had receivers all over Ebay plus advertised on their site. Now I can't find anything. Any suggestions on who to get one from?

    What is the best motor for a 1.2m offset

    My motors keep taking a beating from slop in the shaft to bent mounting brackets. What it the toughest (and also accurate) motor for an 1.2m offset dish? I am getting tired of replacing them.

    SG9120 motor

    My 1.2m has been on the arc pretty close. We had a thunder storm come through the other day with some power issues. My dish is not even close to where it should be on USALS but the dish did not get knocked out in the storm. I went up and reset the motor and now it looks like all the positions...

    Installer in south Florida

    Anyone know a good motorized dish installer in south Florida on the east coast. My meter died and I need someone that knows what they are doing to tweak my dish. I can't stand to yell back and forth with my wife again! Thanks

    Azbox firmware

    Is everyone finding their firmware as buggy as I do? I am new and just got a plus but something that works fine in one version and the next it wont. Put 9.4829 on last night and can't change location of the sat for a fine adjustment in USALS. What is the least problematic firmware you guys have...

    Which Az?

    I have read untill I'm blue in the face and can't decide which box (between the Premium, Premium Plus and the Elite) to buy. I don't see all that much difference with the exception of Wifi which I'm not all that concerned about. They all have blindscan and do s-2, 4:0:0, and 4:2:0. What...

    Pansat 9200

    I just recently bought a replacement 9200 with a s2 plus board off ebay. It works fine other than a quick flicker on occasion on the bottom half of the tv screen which looks like color bars or a test pattern. It is only there for a fraction of a second. It is gone so fast I can barely describe...

    After the bad weather

    A week or so ago we had a solid week of rain and hard winds here in south Florida. My 6' Fortec started acting up. It became a little blocky on all the channels. I checked signal quality and it is still pretty close to where it was before. Went to the dish and noticed every few seconds I would...

    DSR922

    Is there any way to run a second tv off a 922. Tried to use the coax out to tv and got nothing. I think that is just a loop out. The second tv is on the opposite side of the house and thought rg6 would be the most economical way to power it. Is there something in the menu I need to activate to...

    Minibud

    I tried the BSC621 on my new 1.2m geosat and got nothing. I was just reading the thread about the conical test results and saw the mount was sitting on top of the LNB arm instead of over the end how I set mine up. Is this the way everyone is doing it with the Geosat 1.2 as a minibud and if it...

    Dish Alignment problem

    Just installed my new Geosat 1.2m. I am off on the east side of the arc and not sure why. I have good quality on 79 (my south sat), 83 is good going west it stays good but some on 119 like ion is non existent and 123 is in the 70-90 range all using USALS. If I go back to the east 72 mux is...

    Mini Bud Project

    I finally broke down and ordered the Geosat Pro 1.2 from Satellite AV the other day. Is there and way to boost the voltage to the DG380 besides going to a vertical transponder? I have a 1m Winegard now and when it goes to the outside of the arc it really struggles coming back up, especially if...

    Which Dish?

    I am looking to upgrade my 1m to a 1.2 so I can play mini bud a bit. Which dish is better built for a motorized set up, the fortec or the geosat pro 1.2m. The mount on the geosat looks beefier but the deal from Sadoun at 199 delivered looks pretty good. Whats your opinion? Thanks in advance!

    Pansat Remote

    On one of my Pansat 3500's the remote quit last night. Figured it was batteries even thought the power button was still flashing when I pushed buttons. To make a long story short I raised the volume (worked fine) then went to change channels and it won't work. Tried another Pansat remote same...

    4DTV Guide

    Any thoughts on why my guide on the DSR 922 quit? It was working fine and now nothing. I left it on G1 3 all night last night and am still getting the guide with no info in all the slots.

    Just a little laugh for today

    As everyone else has been doing I started a hunt for another c band dish. I figured the best place to start was put an ad on Craig's list. I get a response from some fta dealer in California that he has them on his web site. I am not going to buy one from Ca but figured I would take a look...

    Orthomode feedhorn

    A buddy of mine down here had a deal fall through for a bunch of Patriot dual c/dual Ku feedhorns fall through after he ordered them for a commercial customer and gave me a hell of a deal on one. I figured this may be a bit more user friendly (for the wife) than the setup I have now. Anyway to...

    Which HD receiver?

    As things come to a close for the eye patch crowd prices are starting to fall a bit on the HD receivers. I have been using Pansats for a few years now and had good luck but also see quite a few using Coolsats. To the point I am wanting to get a HD receiver and am looking for advice on what to...
