Dee If you post some fresh pics of your 6ft dish mounted so that its deformation is visible, the guys here may suggest how to fix the damage you believe to have done to it during install. Also the thread Anole suggested above gives good explanation how to center LNB - just what you need...

Sleepless...after reading all the advice and opinions here. :D Just remember guys, she already put a number of dishes in her backyard, no way she's going to ever quit on this hobby, until sat signals are in the air.

I'm glad you resolved it. :) Since other members might not have such equipment collection - some may just use a single AZBox as an STB - trying other options may help them under similar circumstances. When you mentioned it in a different thread, I wanted to look through what the problem is. :)

Since solution isn't found yet, I think we can keep the discussion here. I wonder about 2 things: - if you hook AZBox to HDMI1 TV port instead of HDMI2, do you face with the same issue, where DVR hooked to AZBox via Component cable stops recording? If not, it might be a FW bug in your TV...

In fact, I don't think its even possible in NA, if talking about DN, since they're protected by 8psk Turbo modulation, which the Ali chipset does NOT support. Since smaller content providers are seldom targeted for hacking in NA, I'd say, Openbox S9/10 are hardly hacker attracting boxes, when...

Actually, FW update over LAN was designed in from the get go, just not implemented in FW. As to content streaming over LAN, I truly doubt, Ali proc is capable of handling this along with processing coming signal. In fact, I don't think, the FW supports network content sharing at all, even file...

Its kind of strange that using HDMI blocks analog ports, since they use different schematics. May be a firmware bug, or other cost cutting solution prevents it. In fact, every device I used so far, allowed to connect analog and digital ports at the same time.

May be Dee Ann needs to open a Paypal account, so the addicted sat guys can send some donations to help her keep going with this challenge, and give some moral boost? So far only her dad was willing to share expenses of this saga. Yah, watching FTA is free, but to carry on with such project is...

Its hard to beat CN IRDs with European counterparts price wise, so I wouldn't expect too many European models coming soon here, based on stripped down FTA programming in North America that seems to be more and more limited, and now fighting for market share with IPTV.

Similar HDMI Switcher - works great, don't use Component anymore. The black port on the right - it looks like RCA Digital Audio, or what? They stripped it down based on usage pattern, reported by NA dealers. If only there was more programming to watch with such receivers here... :) Some info...

Well, many CN located dealers buy from the factory direct and then sell to NA buyers via EBay or similar Asian outlets. Delivery cost from CN & HK is compatible to US delivery in many cases, and total is often a lot less then cleared products sold by US outlets. The drawback is practical lack of...

You have to measure the actual chipset temp, and then may be glue a heatsink to it. They are plentiful on FleeBay.

Satellite TV business seems to be alive and well in Europe, if the Expo can be indicator of that - it costs money to present products to the world, so probably makes sense if they do it. I guess, abundance of free sat channels in Germany is one big stimulus, with internet bandwidth under...

Brian, I read somewhere you were a camera man before getting into sat business - right? And a reporter's strive is still there, its obvious, so may be you should consider dividing your attention between the sat hobby and professional reporting? As to Broadcom chips popularity, Echostar is...

Dee I know, you didn't ask anyone for advice, just keep sharing your saga plot, but since everyone is eager to give advice, I take the risk too. As FaT Air said, take a brake, go to a movie - probably haven't being for awhile, only watching old shows. :) Concentrate on selling your old meter...

Ice I know you have a sense of humor. :D We all just need to relax a bit, giving Dee a chance to concentrate on her task. I haven't seen such interest to FTA topic from another lady for a long time, if ever in mine short experience - it says volumes about her dedication. Btw, she doesn't...

I think you're too harsh on Dee-Ann guys. Pretty sure, she will never abandon this project, until its all set. Admit, the mass market consumer CN dishes can make someone like Dee really mad. Dee, do you remember, how long it took to get your 1-st Ku-signal? Mine took 2 weeks of mounting &...

The factory just made a cheaper model by removing extra ports seldom used in NA. Specs are the same as Ice mentioned.

Why don't you try Sergey's suggestions and see what happen - it includes 22kHz ON. Also keep in mind, durability and stability are extra factors, when comparing Invacom to other brands. Generally, Invacom in my experience seldom gives too high signal Q on Linear TPs, and its clone is no...

This non-powered switch was designed for a specific purpose, its specs were chosen to address the requirements of specific sats and STB family. Since you're trying to use it for a different purpose with different LNBs and IRDs, its possible that some ports may get insufficient power, or signal...

Radar The LNB cap looks intimidating like a bomb. :) To spare yard space, I guess, you can mount the perf on one of your trailers- they seem to be of similar age, so will stay in harmony in neighbors' eyes. Still need to wash it to increase signal reflection. :D

Hi pbrady5, Frequencies range assigned for sat TV is divided into a few bands. Your dish & LNB set can get Ka & Ku band signals with circular polarization, like DirecTV and Dish Network subscription channels. FTA Ku-band signals are usually linear polarized, and would require bigger 36"+ dish...

Any of Antenna TV & Me TV on Ku-band?

The chance is high, you're turning the motor towards a vertical TP with 13V power, so it feels slow. Try to turn to a channel on a horizontal 18V TP to see if there's any speed difference.

What compression level is their IPTV? I guess, they offer good combo deals making it very attractive despite abundance of free sat around. Speaking of Paris suburbs, I remember carrying home a huge basket of local wine and variety of cheeses after such trip to Versailles. They wanted to look...
