    GEOSATpro Just got the microhd today and about settings

    I've never bothered playing with the Display Settings but for TV System I use 1080P and Auto. The Auto really works well on the microHD unlike other devices I own. Regards, Steve

    GEOSATpro Concert on AMC16

    If you have an HD plasma scan this satellite right now...unless you are prone to epilepsy. I've never seen such a good video on my TV before. I'd like to know the bitrate if anybody can figure it out. Steve

    Need receiver reviews & updates

    I would like to get reviews on Software now that I am getting into using my TBS6925 card. I'm currently using ProgDVB professional (professional is required to use a motor...) and it is taking time to figure out. The toughest thing was to figure out that us in the "New World" have to punch in...

    HDTV approved

    Your receiver and your TV need to be HD, that's it. The labeling is designed to confuse and trick people who haven't studied before they go shopping. Cheers, Steve

    GEOSATpro Upgraded To Latest Software, Now Can Not Receive Satellites 113W To 125W

    Perhaps you did not set the motor up for some of your satellites. I'm just wrapping up scanning 24 ku satellites with the new firmware and it's going well. All I did was update the firmware, master reset, set video, add satellites, set satellites (USALS only, it's nice that they came pre-set...

    DVB-S2 Tuner Cards in Windows?

    Hi again, I am pondering getting a tuner card for my HTPC and putting my MicroHD in the living room as the wife isn't fond of watching TV in the basement unless we are watching a movie. That being said, can I get the ease of use of the microHD in Windows with a Tuner card? If so, what would...

    SES 3

    I have to wonder why they would wait until the dish is parked in position before applying to use it. My boss would eat me alive if I put something into orbit without permission to use it. :confused: Steve

    How low power of a signal is worth chasing?

    Thank you for the responses guys. I do have an FTA setup but local would be nice too. I will keep an eye on the two stations I've got for a while to see if anything worth upgrading the antenna pops up. If that happens I'll get an antenna decent enough to bring them in clearly. It would be...

    This is 40

    At 2 hours long it got painful to watch and the reference to being a sequel of "knocked up" was not true at all. I'd say pass. Steve

    How low power of a signal is worth chasing?

    Hello, I punched my details into TVFool and I only have 4 channels available at -90dBm or better. I am able to see the -45 and -55 dBm analog channels with a amplified set-top antenna on the 2nd floor but the signal is not good at all. There are half a dozen channels between -115 and -125...

    GEOSATpro microHD Logitec Harmony Remotes

    I bought a new TV so I figured I'd check up on the microHD and it is in the Logitech website now! You search for it under Satellites but it will install under the PVR heading. The remote codes work well and you can access the special buttons (reg/green/sat, etc.) via the screen display on the...

    Opinions of which motor to buy

    I would recommend the STAB HH90 over the 2100 any day, I sent my friend to get a STAB HH90 like mine but the dealer sent him back with a 2100. The 2100 looks like a Russian copy of a Japanese car built from a photo taken from space... Steve

    FTA One Stop Shop

    I've been in to FTA Tronix on Carling in Ottawa. I got the feeling that the products he had were from back before Bell changed their encryption but it's still a good place to start off with. I feel I did better than mail order but call ahead to see what he's got before going down. His website...

    GEOSATpro Do not disable satellite if you are set to one of its channels

    False alarm, I neglected to see the UDF file available for download with the 2nd set of cable instructions. I uploaded that and had to use the Component cable and now the microHD is alive. Turns out the new files are left on 1080P and my CRT can only do 1080I so I'll have to keep that in mind...

    GEOSATpro USB/TTL Convertor COM Port Problem

    I think I was able to sort things out in the end, I downloaded some different drivers and made communication. In the end I just used the power supply with the microHD to power the unit rather than try to use the 2nd USB cord for power. The 2nd cord probably would have worked instead of the...

    GEOSATpro Do not disable satellite if you are set to one of its channels

    Back again, Is it possible to upload the ABS file and not have it take? I tried really hard to get my old files off the machine but it was hanging regularly and after repeated attempts couldn't get past 28% so I gave up on that. The end result was that I uploaded the recent firmware and when...

    GEOSATpro USB/TTL Convertor COM Port Problem

    Hi guys, What sort of functions should I see from the microHD when I'm plugged into it with the TTL cable? I plugged mine in the "right" way and nothing happened so I swapped the TX/RX and I get the green light to turn red a couple times but still no go. Any ideas what I need to do? My...

    GEOSATpro MicroHD Support HDMI To Component Cable Only,No Converter Box?

    I bought one of those HDMI to Component cables off of ebay for 8 bucks or something and it doesn't work so don't bother. There must have been a lot of unhappy buyers because they have since put a note on the product saying your device must be able to be configured to use it...total scam. I'm...

    GEOSATpro Do not disable satellite if you are set to one of its channels

    Not to worry, I am now all-in for 5 bucks on a TTL cable which I was planning on getting at some point. :D I can live without DBS-S2 for a week while I'm busy building and setting up my new Home Theatre PC. As for the why I scanned useless channels, I am an Electrical Engineer who studied...

    GEOSATpro Do not disable satellite if you are set to one of its channels

    I have downloaded the files from my machine a couple times to look through them but I've never dared upload one. I am on the newest firmware. My setup is as follows: Stab HH90 motor using Usals QPH31 variant LNB Ku Linear sats scanned into Ku standard Ku positions (I scan them all in even if...

    GEOSATpro Do not disable satellite if you are set to one of its channels

    Grrr, I had scanned all the circular dishes in where the C band dishes are located (adjusted positions a bit) but didn't get anything of interest. So, it just so happened that I was still tuned into Dish Network when I turned off the "hearts" on the c band dishes in one shot. Now the receiver...

    GEOSATpro First Time Diseq Switch User

    Hi guys, I finally obtained a 4x1 diseq switch for my QPH31 style LNB. I hooked up the Receiver Port to my Stab HH90 and the LNB ports to my 4 LNB ports. I used all 4 since I didn't get any water caps... Anyway, I can't get a signal using this thing. I played with the diseq options and...
