    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    I have the AZbox Premium. It decodes MPEG2 4:2:2 feeds, but not MPEG4 4:2:4 feeds. I just get a black screen on MPEG4 4:2:2 feeds. I'm also running a Chrome Box (Dual Core Intel) with LibreElec/KODI software. Presumably, it's capable of USB tuner support, but I've never tested this feature...

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    This is the only ad that I saw. It came up on a google search for Linux E2, DVB-S2, 4K, 4:2:2. I didn't see any disclaimers regarding 4:2:2 decoding: Note: Now accepting pre-orders for $249 USD (regular price $299 USD). Item will ship August 15th, 2017. FEATURES 4K (UHD) resolution Front panel...

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    TEK was making 4:2:2 claims for the Zgemma H7 during their pre-order campaign. When the receivers finally arrived, they did not support 4:2:2. If you check the Zgemma manufacturer's site, Shenzhen Air Digital Technology, you will find that the manufacturer never made any 4:2:2 claims. Tek...

    Missing Stickey

    There used to be a thread / Sticky on How To Americanize AZBox Satellites and Transponders. Does anybody have a copy? Can the original be restored - If it is here, I cannot find it.

    Holy ***! What's going on?? - I clicked the above link to the Canadian site and up comes a Satellite Guys Page with several old AZBox threads. Edit: OK, I see now that it's just a link. For a moment, I thought that this site was cloned in Canada. In any event, A large number of the old AZBox...

    Why I need a receiver with 4:2:2

    The 1TB HD is internal. The PC platform will get rid of the networking issues, but finding a low power, noise free, small form factor, PC platform that will accommodate 2 or 3 tuner cards, HDMI, and remote control might be a problem. Getting all of the software to work smoothly may also be...

    Why I need a receiver with 4:2:2

    1. I have the ATSC tuner but it's unusable because of buggy software. (multiple issues with ATSC) 2. WD Black 1TB Hard drive is not recognized on power up, but does get recognized after rebooting with power applied. 3. Network file transfers are very slow (2 to 3 megabytes per second). Takes 20...

    Why should the owners of popular boxes be penalized just to be fair to the manufacturers of unpopular equipment? Here's a solution: Set up closed/private sub-forums for the popular boxes that are causing the problem (I'm only aware of two) with the requirement that you must be an owner of that...

    Why I need a receiver with 4:2:2

    PC Card DVB/S2 4:2:2 Receivers I have several questions regarding the PC based receiver cards being discussed in this thread: 1. What satellite control software works best with the PC Card DVBS2 Receivers? 2. Is fast DVBS2 Blind scan supported? 3. Do the receiver cards and associated...

    There's still some confusion. The support is for North American users, not necessarily for products that are targeted to North America.

    Regarding Official Support - When will functional ATSC Tuner firmware be available for the Elite and Premium receivers? Please provide a link to your official support site.

    Not at all. Your original post may not have been clear. I may be wrong, but I believe that we are a North American support site by default. I don't see a pressing need to provide regional support areas. I've never seen any discussions on satellites outside of North America other than how to...

    I'm not sure what you are trying to say - - - I'm not quite sure that I agree. Technical issues targeting a particular receiver should be discussed in the subforum for that receiver, not in a general discussion area. Otherwise, the issue will get lost in the noise. Products such as AZBox...

    I thought that NA was North America. A lot of equipment is made for the European market with little or no support for North American customers. AZBox is a prime example.

    Icebergs list is a good start. Having AZBox and microHD listed under the top level FTA Discussion forum, perhaps wasn't the best choice from an organizational standpoint, but the manufacturer branded sub forums do fit well under Receiving Equipment. There are 2 categories of receiving...

    I didn't know. I don't have any DBS equipment. Years ago, they used to piggy back on Dish Networks 61.5 degree satellite. At the time they were not encrypted and in the clear.

    Excellent Idea! "The Dish Forum" and "The DirecTV Forum" should be combined into a single forum called "DBS". This should include all subscription services that operate in the 11.7GHZ - 12.2GHz band including Sky Angel. This would allow us to talk about lesser known DBS subscription services...

    Hi Scott, Actually, it is on topic - well, sort of. The post would normally be posted in the AZBox forum. Any place else, the post gets lost in the noise. Since AZBox forum was removed as a direct result of forum changes (Topic of discussion), the post has no home. Words to that effect were...
