    Fox News Audio sync trouble?

    Is the audio portion of Fox News Channel HD (G15 - 133º) playing right on the AZBOX Elite? On mine the audio sync to the video is off by a second. I'm using firmware 0.9.4295. It works perfect on my Pansat 9200HD, and the other channels on this satellite play fin

    Can't record anymore -My first AZBOX issue

    My AZBOX Elite for some reason has not been able to record the last few times I have tried it. It says record failed or something like that when I try to record.

    Looking for a Captain 8000HD manual

    Does anyone have a PDF of a Captain 8000HD manual? Got one off ebay to play with for HD on a different TV but can't see where to add or edit satellites (other than trying with a null cable and loader).

    AZBOX User manual

    Just opened my AZBOX Elite, but see there is no User manual in the box. Does it not come with one? or did they forget to put one in the box? Thanks.:confused:

    How do I do a loop out from a Pansat 9200 that has a -DVB-S2 card?

    I am using a Pansat 9200HD with the ad-on DVB-S2 card. Seeing that the installed S2 card has to be connected to the Loop out on the Pansat, how do I do a loop out from it to another receiver now? I want to add a AZBOX to the Pansat. Use the Pansat for scanning DVB and DVB-S2, use the AZBOX for...

    What are the signs of a flaky LNBF

    The last couple of days when watching my C-Band dish, when I turn it on, some channels will come on and some will stay off. Or the signal to all will be very low. I turn the power off and on and flip the channels back and forth, until after a little while it will all come on normal (not sure if...

    RFD-TV still up?

    Can anyone verify if RFD-TV is still up on AMC1 103º. I am getting the rest but I am not getting this one tonight. Did a rescan but still nothing? Maybe my 6' went a bit off?

    What do you get in 4:2:2

    What do you get in 4:2:2? are many stations 4:2:2 or mostly feeds? KU and C-Band or both? If it is still not much I will put off getting a receiver that does this and stick with the Pansat 9200HD with card.

    SG2100 Insertion loss

    I'm going to try this. Have the splitter and have these chokes on the way. Has anyone else tried this? and does it work? For only a few bucks, it is worth a try if it gets a few percent more S/quality.:up

    losing signal through motor

    Is there a way to help losing signal through the motor (SG2100). If there is a week transponder where you will just get pixelation or no video, but run the receiver cable right from diseqc switch to the receiver, you get a stronger signal -to where you can watch it very well. Seems at least...

    Input from Pansat 9200HD users

    Just got a Pansat 9200HD a few days ago off of "the bay". Was waiting for one of these for a while. Seems like a nice unit, and I like it for the most part. I want to know what people think of its scanning results? is it a good blind scanner or pretty much ok? From what I am finding is that it...

    AMC 7 137.0°W -Anchorage Networks

    Got the C-Band up finally, and am checking out the Satellites. On AMC 7 137.0°W is it possible to get the Anchorage Networks on this bird, or are they a spot beam to Alaska? I can't seem to get NASA either, which Lyngsat & SatBeams says are there. I just get a couple of ad channels and a...

    Polar Mount question (Fortec star)

    Finally got the dish out of storage and put together and up on the pole. Getting ready to tack the arc now but have a question. The support truss that fits in/on the mount cap is a bit lose(see picture). It looks like I could fit a washer or two inside to snug it up. Should I do that or is it...

    Should I leave skew at 0º with no polarizer?

    A few days till my holidays, then I will be throwing up my Fortec Star 6' dish. I have a question. On these Prime focus dishes with no polarizer control, just a Polar mount East - West. Do you just leave the LNBF skew at 0º? Looks like most satellites have different amount of skew to them, so...

    36" Actuator on a 6' dish

    Hi guys, I have a 6' dish with polar mount that I am putting up soon. I have gotten for next to nothing a brand new 36" Actuator/motor, would there be a problem using it with the 6'? I know it is overkill, with the weight and size, but it should work with the smaller 6' dish right? just that it...
