I'm intrigued by this box but I have a few questions that I can't find answers to. First, does this thing have the ability to pull EPG data from external sources like Schedules Direct? Also since it's able to connect to a network, can you remote into it and control it? to like program new...

Does anyone know of a schedule for the HD PBS channel up there? ALl I ever see is a test pattern color bars with the bouncing white box. :\

Is there a real consumer grade HD 4DTV capable receiver out there? or something else that can become a HD receiver? And what's with all these DVB main uplinks now? Does anyone sell programming for those to consumers?

I appear to have the same primestar dish that you do Dale, and I've also got a C-band LNB but I have apparently misplaced my scalar ring. I never got C-Band to work on it before anyway, but am intrigued by your approach. So are you saying that the metal lampshade, did or did not give you...

K, I've read numerous posts here and there seems to be some references to a primestar 82E dish and a 9-something dish? How do I know what one I have? I can tell you this about it, It's old. It's huge. (says 1 meter on the back) and it's more of the straight up and down egg shape than...

K. Thanks for the help. I've contacted Microyal and they do have the ability to just send me a replacement board for it. It's only like $20 + shipping, so I think I'll go ahead and plan on doing that. Thanks again for all the help, and if anyone else ever runs into this problem where it moves...

Btw here's a picture of it. "Who would have thought this little piece of junk could be such a big problem"

Problem identified! It appears to be the relays on the logic board. I blindly just started hitting them with my multimeter probe (more out of frustration than anything) and then suddenly when I told it to drive east, the motor reversed and went! After discussing this with someone else they...

K. I dunno if this is gonna help or not, but I took the motor apart, and inside I find this little board on the back of the motor itself. I ran power manually to the main motor contacts in both polarities and the motor spun both times. I can physically feel no resistance from the motor itself...

yeah the receiver has been completely unplugged and plugged back in and no change. :(

Hello again, I'm having an issue with my Microyal H2H motor. I've had it up and running for quite some time but then yesterday I tried to go to a channel on a satellite east of where it was sitting and it would not move to it. I tried another channel on a satellite west of where it was...

I REALLY REALLY want to win. :) I've been wanting one of these for a long time and could really use it!

I have searched and searched but have not been able to locate any type of program for linux that has commands or options to drive a diseqc 1.2 motor manually. They all want to do USALS or use existing saved diseqc 1.2 positions. Using the stored positions is not a problem but what I want/need...

Ok, I'm still not having any luck with my miniBUD setup. Just to clarify in case I just have the wrong impression of what exactly is possible here.. The MiniBUD *IS* or *IS NOT* able to get *DIGITAL* *DVB* signals? I'm with the impression that it could.. but I'm not finding that to be the...

Still Having Problems. :( I still can't get this thing to work. I've tried everything, mounting the LNBF with the two side support arms of the primestar 1m dish, and also mounting it with only the center pole. I still am not able to get anything to register in terms of quality. Just to...

Ok, when you say elevation will be way off, is that, the dish has to be higher or lower than what a sat tracker would tell me?

What is wrong with this? I've been trying for several days to get this C-Band LNBF to pick up on something. It's the DMS ASC-421 LNBF. And it's a 1 meter primestar dish. I can't get it to lock onto anything. Seems to constantly run at 65-70% signal strength but zero quality. Any...

Is there a Mpeg-2 decoder card you could put in a lower end PC to assist the mpeg-2 decoding of a budget card? Yes I know I could've just bought a more high end DVB card in the first place, but who thinks that far ahead? ;)

Yes I will gladly post pics of how I got this LNB mounted, as soon as I can see it actually working. :( Right now it doesn't appear to be working at all. But there is a good deal of cloud cover and storms rolling through here right now as well, (is that why?) I dunno. I'll keep at it, and if...

Ok, I just got my first C-Band LNBF, it's a ACS421. My question is, do I have to use this Scalar ring? What on earth does it even do? Also when it came it had this plastic thing on the end of the feedhorn with some rectangular slots cut into it going around the edges, I can take it off...

I hope this doesn't fall into the category of "feeds" but I was curious if anyone's aware of any radio stations that are sent up in the clear that carry "loveline" ? my local station here sucks and puts it on a day delay which drives me nuts. Anyone have any insight on that? thanks. :)

There's the Eurodance muzak channel. I dunno where it is, but I'm sure you could find it in lyngsat somewhere.

Anyone have any advice on a particular C-Band LNBF to use with a primestar 1 meter dish to attempt C-Band signal reception?

Well that's good to know, I guess my next question would be, is this Invacom a Standard or Universal LNBF? :) Any ideas? again it's the SNH-031

Stupid question I'm sure, but I can't seem to find a real answer. In The RitzDVB program as well as other programs i've tried with my Twinhan 102g card, I see this LOFSW setting. I know what the LOF1 and 2 settings are for my LNBF, but what is this LOFSW and what does it do? I have an...
