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...

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...

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...

Thought I might pass this along. All of the activity and positive experiences here made me decide to make the jump. I ordered from the Skyvision web site over the weekend. This was the response this morning. It turns out that the receivers are back ordered. I guess that must be a good thing...

Does anyone know of any Philippines programming on KU? I've been looking around but have not found anything. My sister in law and I were talking about it over Thanksgiving, and I thought that if there was something up there (maybe 97w?), that I might set her up a dish for Christmas to get the...

Does anyone have experience with this positioner? I ran across it on ebay and thought that if I were to spend a bit more I might get a higher quality unit. I have completely had it with the v-box 10 that I purchased a couple of months ago. I have re-soldered numerous connections, hard...

Short story about a local Radio Shack. I'm hooking my C-Band and KU dishes up to a single receiver. I read this could be done using a 22k switch and a combination of USALS and diseqc. So I run down to the local RS. Good sign I think when I see a satellite dish installation sign on the side of...

I just finished setting up and logging all of the TPs on all of the sats I can see on my C-Band setup on Thursday last. Predictably, I go off for the weekend, come back, and the V-Box throws a consistent Er2 error when I try to move the dish. Oddly, I can move the dish with no problem in both...

Bought the actuator and the V-Box is on the way. I've searched the discussions and have seen that some folks use sprinkler timer wire for the purpose, but in most discussions people don't talk about the specific wire/gauge. Since I have a hundred foot run from the dish to my living room, and...

Hello all, I have had this receiver for almost a year now and have just now gotten around to trying out the HD radio. I spent about two hours last night trying to get this to work. I'm stumped. I have been through the entire FM band and have not been able to locate a station with an HD signal...

I picked up an LG 42LE5400 LED LCD a couple of weeks ago and thought I might pass along some initial impressions. First off, I am replacing a year old Sony Bravia 40 inch that inexplicably lost its ability to switch HDMI inputs about a week after it was out of warranty. I also have a 42...

Found this listing and thought I might pass it along. May be more trouble than it is worth given the height, but someone more skilled than I at such things may not think so. Hanford is near Visalia, Bakersfield, and Fresno. Big Satellite Dish

I just dragged an old 7.5 foot Laser home from the desert. The mesh is in pretty bad shape and the LNB and actuator will have to be replaced. I don't think it has been used in 15 years given what the people who had it told me. Cruising around the web reading, people have used flashing to replace...

OK, I admit it. For that several weeks when Setanta Sports was ITC, I got hooked on Rugby. 35 years ago rugby was a common sight on the Wide World of Sports (grin) but there doesn't seem to be any broadcast in the US. I was looking around at streaming alternatives, but nothing is available in...

Ran across this on craigslist. If I didn't have the kids this week, I'd be all over it. :-( Someplace called Eagle Rock in the LA area. Hopefully someone here can go "cut it down." http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/ele/1662380253.html

Hi Folks. I just received my USB box from Sadoun and need some guidance on the computer to connect it to. My application will be to replace the current Sonicview 8000 STB with this usb box connected to a computer next to the TV in the living room. I'm planning on connecting the computer to the...

Hi folks! Quick question. The weather here in Socal is going to improve next week so I thought I would tackle the next project. Week before last I picked up a sealed T-90 Wavefrontier off Craigslist. $100. Along with it I got two boxes of parts. Some Wavefrontier and DirectTV LNBs and a couple...

Hi folks. I picked one of these up at a garage sale a couple of weeks ago. I've seen posts from people using these old units to drive a large dish. Does anyone know of someplace I might find documentation on these things? I turned it on and started to play around with the menus, but being a...

Hey Folks! First post. First of all I’d like to thank all of you for helping get me involved in this particular hobby. I started following this board and a couple of others last spring when I ran across an ad for FTA equipment through craigslist in L.A. I live on the top of a hill in a rural...
