    Lightning Strikes & Two Systems?

    We took a close hit on Aug. 10th which hit our neighbor's tree approx.fifty feet from the house. The strike took out both DMX 741's, a V Box X, three Ku lnbs, an SG2100 motor, my new MicroHD :(, the 500GB hdd attached to it, as well as two other FTA recvrs attached at the time to those dishes...

    GEOSATpro Micro not talking DiSEqC to V-Box

    I as well had some issues with the MicroHD handshaking with my V box X when I fired it up for the first time using the factory shipped f/w. The setup was just as it was when I disconnected the Solomend PVR800 which died a month before the Micro's arrival here I believe it was a power supply...

    Satellite AV Contest - GEOSATpro microHD - Enter to Win - Drawing on 6/11/2012

    Though it has been over forty years it seems like yesterday when my brother and I would spend our summer with our grandmother cutting grass and baling hay and extra work around there for a few extra dollars. Our playtime was spent fishing and swimming the river and the bayou near her Texas...

    AMC 6 [ 72W ]

    The NBC Mux did not show up on a blind scan this morning at 5 CST on either the S9 or the Traxis using two separate dishes. I have noticed this several times is the past few weeks. Sometime after 8 am it comes back. Last scan shows it is a very low signal 71Q

    First FTA receiver?

    Traxis DBS3500 still hooked up, and still the best blind scanner I have owned.

    pics of the dish farm...post yours too :)

    I was surprised how much signal that tiny dish pulled in, especially with that second reflector on it. It seems to focus the signal tighter this way as I tried setting it up by extending the distance to the lnb like a conventional offset dish. There was a major difference in the gain. I tried...

    Texas Tornadoes

    No dents from this last storm, but you can see hundreds of tiny dents, and only if you look at the mesh from the side. Both unimesh dishes have them from the 4 o'clock to the 9 o'clock position, none of them are very noticeable until you view them from the side. Do you think these tiny dents are...

    Texas Tornadoes

    Pixl it rolled through about three this morning, fortunately not near as bad as our neighbors 250 miles northwest of us experienced. Some downed tree branches, a broken guy wire on the OTA antenna, a 30 minute power outage, and a half inch of rain here near Beaumont, Tx.

    Bad People Selling Clones!

    TXCN, V-Me, MRBI/Sino Sat, every channel on that TP. It starts off as a voice sync issue, then it freezes. I am showing a steady SNR of 76%

    Bad People Selling Clones!

    Brent have you noticed any screen freeze or loss of audio in the latest version on your S9? I have the (Solomend) Chip ID 9CF4, and for some strange reason and only on one sat. Gal 23 C 121 W 3780/ V/ 29273 does it freeze the video after a minute or so, and will let you power down with the...

    Uh oh.. Guess who isn't watching C-band tonight!

    Uh Oh...the dreaded flop-over. No cables needed Dee. Just set your limit switches on your actuator and you're good to go. You'll need some help gently lifting the dish while moving it back to location with your remote on the G box. I hate when that happens.

    Openbox 9 freezing up

    I ended up switching back to the 7-17 vers. again last night after experiencing first audio loss, then total screen freeze several times over a two hour period on 121 W 3780 V 29273 The renamed American version from that site that Jim mentioned took some toggling of lnb settings to get it to...

    latest Openbox S9 firmware might be a keeper!

    I am going to try this 7-31 version again, this time from the other site you mentioned Jim, Maybe reloading the F/W will make a difference.

    latest Openbox S9 firmware might be a keeper!

    I am using version C2HS2-11-07-17:0650CMT on my Solomend and it seems to work just fine but after using it and going through the Ku birds on my list, for some reason the Ku motor will not respond at random. Also if you hold down the remote 's volume for too long, the stb reboots itself. I...

    latest Openbox S9 firmware might be a keeper!

    Gardenman, good to hear it. I thought all was lost as well when I got that Skybox image, then all went blank, and " noch "... I've kept that old panasonic portable for peaking out at the dishes. One day I'll be able to afford one of those high tech meters everyone seems to be using. Thanx...

    latest Openbox S9 firmware might be a keeper!

    My television would not let me view 1080i / 50 when I loaded the latest firmware. The Solomend displayed " noch " I tried the V Format button, no good either. I ended up using a portable analog B/W tv using the composite Red/White/Yellow cables in order to view the menu screen, selected...

    Openbox 9 freezing up

    I tried the latest version and I could not get satisfaction. The firmware seemed to ignore the Ku side of my setup for some reason. I did not spend a whole lot of time with it. I am using version C2HS2-11-07-17:0650CMT on my Solomend and it seems to work just fine. I like the PVR settings that...
