Just hoping that someone has a copy of the firmware for this beast. Many thanks Tony

I have now tried twice to upgrade my box to Enigma2 the first time by writing to DOM this failed and I went through the lengthy Recoverazbox procedure to get the box back to OFW. The second time I decided to be clever and write to the Hard Drive once again this has failed and I will have to...

We are way down south outside normal reception areas. With a large antenna we got reasonable reception which we lost for an hour each day on our old sporster SP-R2R. Sadly this crapped out and we have bought Sirius/XM XDPIV2. No reception at all on this new machine. Signal strength meter shows...

1. My old Legacy II box has a problem, it does not respond to the remote control. I have changed the batteries but that didnt help. I use the box to move the dish and to change polarity. Is it the box or the remote ? How do you test a RF remote ? 2. I am still unclear about the orientation of...

I am unable to submit a comment thru the list page so here is a correction := Canal 27 on Intelsat 707 is now 12136 H 3111 Tony

I have managed to tune some of the stations on SES1 The volume on some of these transmissions is lower than on other satellites. Are there any tricks to enhancing the volume from my box ? Thanks Tony

I have a friend who lives in Panama for 6 months of the year and the rest of the year in his home in Rigby Idaho. Because of his reduced use he has cancelled his directv subscription. So my question is what FTA services could he receive with his existing equipment if I helped him to align the...

I had been using a Chapparal Feed horn and polorator with a Norsat LNB with some success. Now the polorator has died and the four set screws holding it to the feedhorn have siezed. So what to do now ? I could buy an ESX241 with the benefit of being a LNBF and scrap the Norsat cost about $40 or...

The entry for Montana PBS on AMC21 seems to be incorrect. I am not sure how to go about making a change. Tony

I should like to experiment Using the C Band dish for Atlantic Ku band birds. Does anyone have any experience of this. I have a Ku band LNBF for a prime focus dish but it is only a standard. Do any universal LNBF's exist for prime focus C band dishes. Anyone have good experiences Many thanks...

My AzBox is connected to the internet by cat5 cable to a linksys WRT110 router. There is clearly traffic between my box and the internet and I would like to know what is going on. Is there anyway of monitoring the packets being sent and received by the box either via the box itself or via the...

We went through 24 hours of internet interuption ( or so I thought ). After hassling the ISP 3 times still no web browsing. I was using the Azbox and was in the setup menu when I noticed that the summary page said it was connected to the internet !! I double checked and asked the box to get the...

I was trying to receive a signal from Amazonas 61 which is labled in the satellite info eg Lyngsat as being horizontal. A local friend says he gets the signal as vertical. Does this mean that his LNBF is postioned at a skew 90 degree difference from mine. I guess I should know the answer to...

I now am the proud owner of 2 AZBox's. One HD Premium purchased from Rick and one AZAmerica DVB S2 S900 purchased locally here in Panama. I am finding different results with each machine ie one machine shows a channel with heavy pixallation and one shows it with none. I was trying to...

I was trying to locate echostar 3 at 61.5 west. I knew I must be close because I found Amazonas at 61 with a universal LNB. I swapped LNB for a DBS circular and changed the dish setting menu to reflect the LO frequency of 11.250. I then tried to Blind scan the bird. The scan was over in less...

I have successfully installed a plugin to the box. The instruction say to change the file permissions to 755. I am familiar with Linux but how do I get a terminal program running on the AZBox so that I can use commands like chmod 755 ? Thanks Tony

Currently I have a Ku dish with an Ku LNBF and have to adjust the azimuth and elevation and skew for each new satellite that I want to watch. This of course is a bit of nuisance. If I were to convert the mount to a polar mount with an actuator how would I then change the skew when moving...

I am using my AZBox to view Ku signals from a fixed dish and C Band signals for a C Band dish with an actuator. In order to peak the signals when viewing a C band signal it would be nice to see a quality measurement while tweaking the actuator. Is this possible with an AZBox ? Thanks Tony

A guy down here has an AZBox S900 set top box which he wants to sell. I cannot seem to find any info about this box. Does anyone have one and if so could you post a link to the specs. Many thanks Tony

Need some help again from you guys who can see 61 degrees west. My Coolsat 6000 locks many scrambled channels but it also finds 5 channels ITC. One of these is Claro TV Chile. Its at 12091 H 29999. Am I on Amazonas ? Many thanks Tony

A large number of bright red 1 metre Ku dishes are sprouting up around here. They all have the legend "Claro" printed on them. I believe they are receiving transmissions from Intelsat 1R at 50 West. Lyngsat does not seem to have any info about these transmissions. Does anyone have any...

I move my BUD with an analogue receiver and scan all channels looking for screen disturbance. If I see some I manaully check the signal on each channel looking for the highest signal. I then move the dish to maximise the signal. While scanning a bird (I dont know which one) but is around 103...

I remember reading about 1 year ago a post from one of the experts here about the Coolsat 6000 . It concerned how to access the hidden or service menu on this box I have searched on both this site and on google but cannot find the post. Can any one help ? Thanks Tony

Help Its gone from 125 West AMC 21 Tony

I have installed the SATA hard drive and I am successfully recording and then viewing various programs. One program in particular is of interest to a friend. Is there any way of copying a file stored on the SATA drive to something external like a usb memory stick ? Thanks Tony
