    AZBOX What LNB Please?

    I have a 20 year old 10' dish with the original C and Ku LNB's. I use to use it with a 4DTV which is now dead. I bought an AZbox Premium HD a few years ago and have left the dish pointing at Galaxy 19 Ku/horzonital and my AZbox gets some channels. I also have a DiSEqC Positioner to move the...

    C Band Still Alive?

    I've been using my old 4DTV just to power my 10' dish with my AZBox. I have not used the 4DTV to view anything in many years. I changed the battery years ago but it now appears to be dying. The display has everything lit-up. My 10' dish goes back to about 1996 but the Ku is still working fine...

    AZBOX Need Old Timer Help With 10' Dish Setup

    I've been using my old 4DTV receiver to power my C/Ku 10' dish which sends the signal to my AZBox Premium HD. The 4DTV is dying and it would be nice to have the AZBox power the 10' dish. It's been many years since I've messed with this and I've forgotten much of what does what. Looking at the...

    Still cannot get YouTube to work

    I just went through a big hassle getting my AZBox Premium HD running again. I still have the same problem with YouTube. I can look at one to three videos then the box freezes up. I cannot watch TV or anything else without rebooting. I have the lastest firmware installed. Any ideas? Thanks

    Scan just Horizontal then Vertical?

    Just got my AZBox Premium HD going again (thanks to the folks on this forum). I use another receiver to control my 10' dish. I cannot remember how to tell the AZBox to just scan Horizontal, then scan just Vertical? Currently it scans both and I get each channel twice/repeated.

    AZBox Premiun HD will not boot "vfd ready"

    I've been trying for months to get YouTube working again (it will show a few videos then lock up the entire box). So I updated some of the firmware and now all I get is "VFD Ready." I researched this and the fix looks over my head. I un-hooked my additional hard-drive and tried booting with...

    Problem with Premium HD

    Premium HD with Firmware 0.9.5309 I'm using a 4DTV receiver to control a 10' satellite dish. I did a Factory Reset and now I cannot get the receiver to scan just horizontal or vertical. No matter what I set it does "Horizontal Locking" and "Vertical Locking" when scanning, resulting in all...

    This program cannot be viewed because this tv is not 3d capable

    I have a 3D ready Mitsubishi 73837 TV. I just hooked up a 3DC-1000 Starter Pack and I'm sure it's all hooked up properly. I cannot get this off my Directv receiver: "This program cannot be viewed because this tv is not 3d capable" But the TV is capable. Anyone get one of these hooked...

    Google TV

    I wish the AZBox allowed some sort of QWERTY keyboard. Google TV: everything you ever wanted to know -- Engadget Don't miss the video at the bottom of the page. Dennis

    Unknown Codec

    I have .MOV movie files that play fine on my PC but when I try and play them on my AZBox Premium HD I get the Unknown Codec error. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix? Thanks, Dennis

    A favor please

    On Directv go to music channel 807 (Rat Pack). You may have to listen through a several songs, but after a while you will realize that they are sending only one of the stereo channels, e.g., the left channel to both the left and right channels. Sometimes it is very evident. Especially on the...

    Edit/Remove Channels?

    I cannot find out how to remove channels on my AZBox Premium HD. This box suffers from the same problem I've had with every other box I've had. That is, it just appends new channels to the end of the list. It does not try to organize (insert) them according to the satellite. Unless I'm missing...

    Starchoice receiver?

    We use to get many Canadian channels with our 4DTV's many years ago. Now most of them are gone (and it's not a good idea to point a 4DTV at Canadian satellites). Would it make any sense to get a Starchoice receiver on EBay? What could I see with it? I just saw a HD receiver for about $130.00...

    Another Battery Question?

    Reading the thread on the 4DTV battery concerned me enough to decide to replace my battery. I'm not sure what model 4DTV I have, but I think it's about 10 years old. I just had it unplugged for a few days so the battery must still be good. So, from what I've read I need a 3.5 volt battery...

    Edit .dat files w/ my PC?

    Just getting stated with the AZBox Premium HD. I see all these *.dat files in DISK2. It would be nice if I could add new satellites, SR, etc. from my PC. Is there a way? If not, I could probably write a small program to edit them if I knew what tool was used to generate the DAT files...

    Where is PBS?

    Just got my AZBox Premium HD and I'm trying to find the PBS channels. I'm using my 4DTV to move my BUD. I upgraded my firmware but I do not have AMC 21 Ku as an option in the AZBox. Am I missing something? Shouldn't that satellite be mapped? Thanks, Dennis

    No Power? Dead!

    Just got my AZBox Premium HD yesterday. I was entering an IP address and it died. Nothing comes on. No lights, nothing. It's on a good UPS and all my other equipment on that circuit is still working. Plenty of air and it is not on top of another hot electronic, so it did not over heat. I...

    Cannot Get Wifi to work

    Just got me AZBox Premium HD and scanned my first satellite okay. But I cannot get the wifi to work. It sees my linksys (and the neighbors) but it just will not take. I'm using the same password I've used for the last year. This box came setup for the European market. I had to go to Radio...

    Colors in Guide?

    I just got my 4DTV going again after years on not using it. I got the guide but have forgotten what the colors mean. Can someone please tell me what they mean? Also, I cannot find my manual and I cannot find it posted here. Did miss something? Thanks, Dennis

    Help getting re-started

    I've used my 4DTV for several years as slave for other receivers. I use it just to set my BUD's skew. But I would like to get all working again. Can I still download the latest satellite lists and program guide from a satellite? If so, please tell me what satellite and what to tune to and...

    Several FTA Quetions Please

    I still have and use a 10' C/Ku dish. But it has not moved off of Galaxy 19 in years. I just got a new TV and decided it was time to clean up my room and retire some equipment, including my 4DTV receiver. I've only used it as a slave to change the skew for my Traxis 3500. When I powered up...
