    10 foot BUD slowly drifting West??

    Hello Everyone, I've run into a problem the last few weeks with my 10 foot mesh BUD. I'm not sure why, but each day I have to re-set the position settings on my Openbox S10. The Openbox seems to work fine, and the VBox positioner I use seems to work OK also, but its as if the dish itself is...

    Seagate 500 GB HDD for Recording on Openbox S10

    Well I bought it. Its the 500 GB Seagate USB 2.0 powered HDD I mentioned. Plugged it in.....and......it works like a champ. Seems to work much better than the old 1GB USB sticks I was trying to use. If anyone else is looking for a HDD, this one does seem to work with the Openbox S10.

    Seagate 500 GB HDD for Recording on Openbox S10

    My local Staples has the 500 GB FreeAgent GoFlex portable hard drive on sale for 39 bucks this weekend. It is USB 2.0 Does anyone have any experience with this drive hooked up to their S10, or S9 for that matter? Is USB 2.0 fast enough? I know there have been issues with certain HDD's not...

    Openbox S10 Recording Suggestions (USB Stick or HDD?)

    I've been trying to get my Openbox S10 to record onto a 1GB USB memory stick with very little success. It will record maybe 5 or 10 minutes in PS, then I get a small that flashes up on the screen saying something like the speed of the USB device is too slow. The screen shows that it is still...

    New Openbox S10 File (DiSEqC Fix) Posted July 19th

    See Shenzhen Yojia download website for new S10 file. Fixes the S10 diseqc problem that has been discussed on this forum recently. Not for S9 apparently. I tested on my S10 and it has my diseqc switching between C and Ku again. :D:D

    Multiple Satellite and multiple channels

    No, not really. The link I have is for a manufacturer in China, which I've heard is putting out clones of the Openbox(?) There seems to be some debate about whether this is the actual Openbox site, or a clone site. Either way, they have an updated S10 file (June 21 I believe) which I put on...

    Multiple Satellite and multiple channels

    Superslug, I have had the same problem with my new Openbox S10 not wanting to switch between 2 coax cables connected to my 4x1 diseqc switch. I have a combination C and Ku lnb mounted on my 10 foot big ugly dish. One coax from each goes to the diseqc. I can't usually get the stb to switch...

    Trouble Switching between C and Ku Channels on Openbox s10 with BSC621-2 lnb

    Okay, I actually just put the North American transponder list on but left the firmware the box came with on the box. I have to try updating the firmware. Does anyone know a link for reputable, or even the manufacturer's own firmware updates? Thanks.

    Trouble Switching between C and Ku Channels on Openbox s10 with BSC621-2 lnb

    I got my BSC621-2 lnb working with C and ku. I just ditched the old Viewsat Ultra for a shiny new Opensat s10. I have a 10 foot mesh dish with one coaxial cable running from the C output on the lnb to port 2 on my 4x1 diseqc switch, and one coaxial cable running from the Ku output on the lnb...

    Ku Side of new BSC621-2 LNBF Not Working??

    Problem solved. Turns out I had the BUD pointed dead-on for both c and ku. I just needed to switch the lnb type on the receiver to Universal (9750-10600), from the Standard type lnb I was accustomed to using with my 33 inch dish. Whew!!! Thanks for the help people! I have a new question now...

    Ku Side of new BSC621-2 LNBF Not Working??

    My BSC621-2 lnb did not come with the jumper coax cable. It has only 2 coaxial connectors on the entire lnb, one for c-band, one for ku-band. There is a similar lnb that comes with a short jumper cable, but this is not the one I have. I believe I need to keep 22 khz OFF, because I am not...

    Ku Side of new BSC621-2 LNBF Not Working??

    The holes in the mesh are tiny. If you took a very sharp pencil, the lead would barely get into the hole, the holes are that small. I had been using the same settings for ku when trying to get a signal with the new BSC62- lnb as I had been using before (successfully) with my old motorized 33...

    Ku Side of new BSC621-2 LNBF Not Working??

    Hello Everybody, I have been reading this forum for several years, but never had a question until now. I have a 10 foot mesh big ugly dish that I have been using with my Viewsat Ultra and V-Box for some time now. I bought a DMS International model BSC621-2 LNBF last fall to get both Ku and C...
