    GEOSATpro Geosat HDVR 3500 no memory

    I had issues similar to those after I had a storm pass by and lightning strike very close by. It still worked, but was locking up or not saving settings. I contacted Satellite AV and they sent me a replacement and returned my damaged one after I received it. Also a bad power supply, surge...

    New Apple M1 CPU

    I think once these actually get out into the real world usage we will know more about how well they perform. But preliminary results seem to be really good. I'm considering the Mac Mini version, but going to wait and see for at least a few months to see how they get rated after they have been in...

    OTHER Koqit Firmware

    I never was able to update over WiFI/LAN network, only via USB. I no longer have any of these receivers, or the file, so I can't help. Sorry...

    How much are you savings on orby ?

    I like Orby mainly because it's a NO CONTRACT service, and no additional fees if I decide to stop or cancel service. I'm the same way with my cell phone and internet service, all no contract and prepaid. And as for getting what I pay for, this is exactly what I want. A no frills service. I don't...

    Circular Ku-band

    Is there anything still FTA on any of the Circular Ku-band satellites (North America)? I'm thinking about streamlining my setup and getting rid of my excess satellite parts (LNBFs, switches, etc), but didn't know if there was any reason to keep any Circular Ku-band LNBFs. THANKS!

    I HATE Google Assistant

    Problem is not with DIsh, they don't develop those apps, YouTube and Netflix does, most likely out-sourced instead of them actually having in house programmers...

    Star Trek: Picard

    I love how people judge a series before they even watch an episode... I actually like all the new different Star Trek Series, but nothing can compare the the original series. To me I look at them as entirely different points of view, not a continuation or prequels, just an individual series on...

    Half off Orby TV receivers and DVRs at Best Buy - 10/17/19

    another good reason to cut prices would be if newer receivers were coming out, get rid of as much old stock as possible...

    Anyone having problem with Galaxy 3C?

    I was having trouble with the CCTV/CGTN feeds, but they are back to normal now. No Phoenix channels, but still get the MTI radio channels

    GEOSATpro -DSR-R100b will not power on

    I got my hands on another GEOSATpro DSR-R100b, same problem, dead power supply. But this one was different, it had two 10v 2200u capacitors instead of the two 10v 1000u in the same location like my other two receivers have, haven't looked at the other components too closely on the power supply...

    Announcing the Orby TV Self Installation Kit

    DIY is best for me. However, the antenna should be optional. I already have my own outdoor antenna, as the one in the kit isn't large enough to pick up local channels where I live, I need a large directional antenna, over-the-air TV reception is very weak here.

    97W STAR 5 Radio, No sound, Signal Quality 71%, 11836/V/20769.

    Hopefully they are not switching to streaming only like some channels have done

    97W STAR 5 Radio, No sound, Signal Quality 71%, 11836/V/20769.

    No audio here either... But it's still streaming on Lyngsat, maybe something has changed with the transponder? or signal strength?... Global Star 5 Linear Streaming

    GEOSATpro -DSR-R100b will not power on

    Success! Repaired! I replaced the two 1000u 10v capacitors with two 1000u 16v capacitors I salvaged from another piece of electronics Seems to be working great, no issues so far, been running non stop for 2 days and no heat difference from it and my other one that is still as it was when...

    ASC1 Positioner Controller - End of Production Notice

    Has the possibility of obtaining components from other countries besides China that do not have tariffs or low tariffs been explored?

    GEOSATpro -DSR-R100b will not power on

    Found a bulged capacitor, it was hard to find, it was bulged on the bottom, and didn't leak. I just happened to notice it looked a little taller than the same capacitor next to it, and desoldered it and yep, bulged. It was a 10v 1000uF. Haven't replaced yet, but I'm hoping that is all that is...

    GEOSATpro -DSR-R100b will not power on

    Yes, bad power supply.... I have another one of these receivers, so I plugged in the power from that one into the board and it booted. So now I need to know where to find a replacement power supply, or how to repair. Also notice the main receiver boards and configuration is different, yet both...

    GEOSATpro -DSR-R100b will not power on

    I have a GEOSATpro-DSR-R100b that will not power on. It just blinks the red LED on the display. No video on the TV/Monitor, but a clicking sound. Thinking it may be the power supply. Anyone know anything about this type of issue?

    OTHER Koqit Firmware

    I don't have have that receiver connected anymore. But it did work just fine with 97W Galaxy 19. You shouldn't have to load anything. If the satellite is missing just add as a new satellite in the settings, and do a blind scan. I actually deleted all the existing satellites and added just what...

    OTHER Koqit Firmware

    Found the file, it's a generic file, this one worked for me, but no guarantee it will work for you. It removed the youporn and adds youtube, but youtube doesn't seem to work as it should. You will need to unzip and put on a USB thumb drive. If I remember correctly, you need to put the thumb...
