If the size trend holds it's probably the size of a package of cigarettes too. ;-) Darn. I knew I should have waited to buy my S10. Now I won't have 16psk, for whatever real good that would do me.

I don't know where you would find a complete replacement, but if you can just patch what's there, I had good luck with Kwikmesh, which is a flashing that Home Depot sells in rolls. The mesh size and shape was almost identical to that on my dish, and it is springy enough that it molds well to the...

I second what Auric said. My DMX741 (bought two weeks ago) came with a bad jumper as well. It tightened down, but did not make a very good connection internally apparently. Replaced it and instantly got a much better signal strength on KU. Also I found with my 7' that once I had peaked the dish...

Hi folks. I just picked up an Openbox s10 and a DMX741. It is replacing a Geosatpro C2 and a Sonicview 8000 receiver. I have it hooked up with good results so far, though I miss a few of the features of the Sonicview to be honest, especially when trying to fine tune signals and being able to set...

Thanks! I just ordered the S10 from Hypermegasat. Good price too.

So who would be a reputable dealer selling the Openbox S10? My SV 8000 is showing signs of wearing out. I'd rather stay away from eBay having been burned a couple of times in the past, and I'd rather have an Openbox S10 than the re-badged S9 that Sadoun is selling . A cursory search on Google...

Hello all. I have an old dual core desktop that I am retiring, and thought I might buy a small form factor case for it and build a dedicated satellite receiver with Windows. I had a USB DVBWorld tuner that was less than stellar software-wise last year. It had trouble picking up anything HD when...

Anole has some excellent thoughts on the subject. If there is a display, I think it would be useful to have an indicator that lights up for each function. I'm thinking of something similar to the display on a stereo receiver, where different functions (words) would light up when active, S2...

I can't comment on the GBox, but I second pendragon's observation on the poor quality spring clips on the back of the VBox X. With mine, the spring clip connections are too weak to make a good connection and fall apart too easily. I tried finding a replacement at Radioshack, but no luck. So in...

I would pay to have MHz Networks back.

I was wondering about that myself. When I got ready for a new TV last year I went to Best Buy. They have many on the wall all with the same signal, and the wall they hang them on is fairly dark so you don't see as much glare. From what I could see, the ones that are higher refresh rate do a lot...

Anole, to be honest I never pay that much attention. As long as the TPs were right I really didn't look at the details. I simply blind scan every satellite every few weeks or so. I do have a lot of duplicates now, so I guess that's probably the reason. It wouldn't have occurred to me that an...

I have not seen any of the other receivers, but I can tell you that the 410 has very few menu options. The only thing in the menus that was even related was the ability to switch from horizontal to vertical manually, and I'm not sure that feature even works. As I mentioned above, this is a black...

Just an update. I did get it working. I had to rotate the LNB 90 degrees counterclockwise, then I had a signal on both. The other problem turned out to be the Sonicview. I can have the 410 looped through the receiver, but the receiver cannot be on while I'm using the 410. The Sonicview overrides...

Thanks. That makes sense. I just tried it, and the moment that I hit the power button on the viewsat remote, the little sat dish icon on the front of the 410 changed from green to red and the signal went away altogether.

Thanks for the help. I'm trying to understand how the above effects my problem. This is a motorized C-Band setup that has worked well for about six months now. If I change the skew 90 degrees then I lose the ability to pull in normal signals from the dish, don't I? That would mean that I...

Odd problem with the DSR410 I just bought. I was able to sub without a problem, then it got a bit weird. Once I had it hooked up, I could only receive horizontal not vertical. At that point I had it looped through a Sonicview 8000hd and a v-box. So then I connected the dish coax directly to...

t134, Everything else aside, the use of a derogatory word seems to be at the heart of this reaction. From a marketing standpoint it might be worth considering dropping that word in favor of something more neutral and mainstream. Why alienate potential customers?

If I understand what you wrote up until this point, what you have done is the best that you can working without USALS. I never have been able to create a satellite on this receiver and have it work with USALS either. There was no obvious way to add the compass location at all. That is why I just...

Once you save the position, scan the transponders that you entered. It will lock and then you should see the names of the channel it finds. When you exit it will ask you to save. After that, whenever you select that satellite from the the satellite list (the SAT button at the bottom of the...

I did exactly the same thing, modified 84w. To save it, all you have to do is switch over to motor from USALS in the menu and then save the location in the motor menu once you have fine tuned. That way it always moves to the same spot, and it doesn't interfere with USALS. Sorry, I don't have the...

I've never had that problem in the year and a half that I've had mine, however I did have something similar happen when I last reset my SV360 to factory default after moving the dish. The only way I could get it to stop was by overwriting the firmware with the factory file again. Another...

I agree with Mikey11, nothing new for this receiver in a long time. Shame really, I like mine. To add 83w I just renamed an adjacent sat, manually entered the TPs from the list and then used the signal quality and motor to locate the TPs. Not an optimal solution, but it works.

Art7220, Long story short: We were sold counterfeit copies of XP by some eBay seller. They wouldn't register. We contacted Microsoft and eBay. eBay barred the seller. We sent the counterfeits back to MS and they sent us new legal copies for reporting the counterfeits. They were XP Pro and...

October? Yikes! OK, I did check the classifieds. I'll go that route. I didn't think to look. Have not had good experiences with Ebay in some time. Illegal copies of XP a few months ago, a couple of scams run on my wife a year or two ago when she was selling, so I tend to go with places with...
