MarkVA, sorry for the belated reply. I plan on installing the latest firmware this coming week and setting up a completely new satellite/tr list. At this point I will just start from scratch. Not sure how it will turn out because currently the box has become really quirky. Hopefully the new...

Thanks RADAR for the reply. I searched around for a recent list but no luck. Have started modifying your old list to bring it up current. Trying to get this box to act nice is a real challenge and have had to reload old list several times. If there was a more user friendly, less quirky...

I am still using RADAR'S sat/tr list from some 18 months ago. Was hoping an updated list is available to save a little time in the scanning process. Thanks for any assistance. Ron

Cham, I appreciate your reply. Even though I don't have any experience in doing this type of project it sounds like this is what's necessary to speed up the dish slews. I have a question about polarity and voltage: If the polarity is controlled by the voltage level (18V=H and 13V=V) then...

Thanks for the idea. Guess I'll need to keep a little better track of which is horizontal and and which is vertical. It looks like my idea about using some type of power inserter is not a good one based on the lack of any confirmations. Ron

I am using an Azbox Premium HD receiver in conjunction with two 1 meter dishes. The nearest dish to the receiver is about 175 feet away and it is a fixed dish. The other dish is approx 225 feet away from the receiver and mounted on Disequc H-H mount, DG380. The coax cable from the farthest...

RADAR: Good to hear from you again. Don't know if you remember but back when I was first learning the AzBox you sent me a copy of your channel list. I uploaded it into my Box and it is still in use to this day...thanks so much for the jump start. During that learning period I found out the...

Stargaze, I keep all the old workable sat/channel lists and so i just kept going back into the library until I found one that the Azbox would accept. Once I had AMC21 reestablished in the Sat list then the blind scan did the rest. These Azbox's sure are nice when they are working but are a...

Cham, Thanks for the reply. Before making any changes in the channel list I downloaded the existing channel list from the AzBox to my PC, using Maz. Then I used the AzBox remote to delete all the transponders on AMC 21, which of course also deleted the satellite from the active list. I then...

I'm having an unusual problem that I haven't experienced before. I have owned the Premium HD (firmware ver. 0.9.5020) unit for about 1 1/2 years and after the first teething problems it has worked fine. I should say here that the AzBox User Guide was a tremendous help in getting started. I...

HINDU55 Now that is a great site!! The first thing I noticed is the need to set the skew to 34 deg. The calibration scale on the Invacom lnbf only goes to 30 deg so I imagined there would be no need to even turn it that far. Now I can see I was not adjusting it far enough. I look forward to...

I have rotated the lnbf in both directions from center as I move the dish east and west. This seems to improve the signal strength slightly but not enough to bring in a viewable signal. I don't know how much it is suppose to rotate from a center position when I move the dish west from 101.0 W...

Sorry, I meant AMC 21. Brain cramp!!!

I have recently mounted a 1.2m GeoSat offset dish on an “Alt-Az” mount (in astronomy this is what we call a mount that moves strictly in latitude and longitude). The problem I’m having is getting the dish to acquire a strong signal in any position except due south. As I move the dish east...

A funny thing happened on the way to updating… I decided to take the conservative route and continue trying to use ACC to send updated files to both Disk2 and hopefully the Disk1/Disk2_backup/DVBS.dat file. Because my current version of ACC seemed not to get the job done, I did a complete...

RADAR I wanted to let you know that I now have your list fully installed, and it is spot on. I can’t even imagine how much time and headaches your list has saved me. You must have your dish very accurately aligned because it was no trouble at all to find sats using your settings. I also now...

Clearly you have been successful in replacing the original backup file with a different version. I'm curious about what method you used to get the change accomplished. Did you use the code you posted or ACC or......................? Thanks for the information. Flinthill

Stargaze, I want to thank you for the reminder to reboot after sending changes to the box. That is something that I do so often I could easily overlook it. I’ve thought a lot about this issue since we last talked. I agree with you that it seems I’m using the right procedures and tools but...

In my P+ the current back up DVBS.dat file size is 132.37 KB and has a description of "Nero media Player media files" and a date of 1/1/1970 The operating DVBS.dat file located in DISK2 is 15.05 KB, no description and a date of 11/20/10. I uploaded it today. The size comparison is probably...

Now I wonder why that is. The questions seems to be, have you updated the backup copy today and thus it would have todays date or did the operating system simply redate the old file when it received the query? Flinthill

Thanks for the reply. I'm not a programmer so I don't understand what the code actually does. Will this go out to my hard drive, access the DVBS.dat file and send it to the Azbox. Or, after this code is entered do I start up the FTP program then select and send the file to the Azbox. Or, is...

I may not have full grasp on this, but I have read that the “DVBS.dat” I’m concerned about is located in DISK1/DISK2_Backup. I understand it is the original file installed by the factory that has all the Eastern and Western satellite listings. I understand that if something becomes corrupted...

In another thread someone offered a direct method of updating the DVBS.dat backup file located in DISK1 by using a Linux (I believe) command and FTP. The command was: mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /DISK1 This command runs from the CMD prompt after accessing the Azbox. I was...

RADAR Sorry to hear you have been under the weather. I hope all my questions haven't been a burden. In the last 3 weeks I've had a severe case of bronchitis plus sinus trouble. Just now getting rid of the coughing. We went on that trip a couple of weeks ago and the cold night air delayed the...
