    OTHER Changing Satellite List in GTMedia V9 Super Receiver

    It doesn't look like GTMedia implemented the full SES SAT>IP specification into SAT2IP. Upnp with HTML, however, is working. Their Android viewing applications are not working with the V8 Golden receiver. They are supposed to be working with the V8X and V8UHD models. On a PC, bring up VLC...

    OTHER Changing Satellite List in GTMedia V9 Super Receiver

    I originally bought the GTMedia box to use as test equipment. It was cheap ($35) and it did blind scan. I originally used it to locate satellites and transponders to program into my AZBox. My $300 AZBox has 4:2:2 MPEG2 Chroma decoding (The reason I bought it), but no blind scan. The AZBox was...

    AZBOX 2017 Best Firmware / Alternate Firmware for Premium HD+

    MAZ was very painful. I was able to download the transponder list, but I couldn't do anything else. I couldn't find any instructions for MAZ and ended up using the AZBox for transponder editing. In the process of updating the transponder list for SES1 Cband, I found that the Lyngsat listings...

    AZBOX 2017 Best Firmware / Alternate Firmware for Premium HD+

    I don't believe that blindscan is working now - at least with the firmware version that I am using. Perhaps the Canadian firmware is better. My primary interest is with transponder list maintenance. I believe that the Engima2 Firmware uses a single satellites.xml file that is very easy to...

    AZBOX 2017 Best Firmware / Alternate Firmware for Premium HD+

    What is the best stock firmware version to be using in the AZBox Premium HD+ receiver for North American satellite reception? Is the firmware from AZBox Canada any good? Recommendations? How does alternate firmware (enigma2, Open PLi, Open RSi) compare for picture quality and ease of use...

    AZBOX 4.2.2 Video Decoding

    What is the availability of DVB-S2 receivers that support 4.2.2 video decoding? I'm currently running a 2011 vintage AZBox Premium Plus. Is there anything newer out there with 4.2.2 support? Preferably something that allows easy maintenance of transponder lists.

    The miniMe only accommodates one tuner. How will you support ATSC. Will QAM be supported as well?

    AZBOX Alternate Firmware Status and Reviews

    I like the faster processor in the Me series. I was expecting Opensat to come out with a Dual Tuner (ATSC/QAM-DVBS2) version with the faster processor for North American market. I would really like an unencumbered ATSC networked DVR to record the local broadcast channels. Lack of functional...

    GEOSATpro New Receiver?

    I saw Atom motherboards starting at $79.00 at Logicsupply, but that's not a complete integrated solution with tuners and software.

    GEOSATpro New Receiver?

    Anole, I've been running networked media players at each TV for years. The dedicated players such as those from Popcornhour and Dune are pretty much bug free and do a better job than most satellite receivers with media player functionality. I was a Beta tester for Popcornhour's Model C-200...

    GEOSATpro microHD: Playing AVI file problems

    VLC is highly recommended. It's open source and will play back just about anything. (I haven't found anything that it can't play - other than an occasional corrupted file).

    GEOSATpro New Receiver?

    USB is too slow for effective networking, and the processor that you've selected probably won't handle it either. Why not consider something like the Intel dual core Atom (2.3 Gig) processor. You wouldn't need dedicated hardware for MPEG decoding and 4:2:2 software decoding wouldn't be an...

    GEOSATpro New Receiver?

    If you are targeting the North American market, You need to support ATSC, 4:2:2 Video, and Fast DVB/S2 Blind Scan. The receiver should be networked with full access to recorded video files.

    AZBOX Cable Tuner for Premium+

    Unfortunately the firmware for the Premium & Elite ATSC/QAM tuner is very buggy and unstable. AZBox has made no apparent effort to fix the problems and make the firmware usable.

    AZBOX Cable Tuner for Premium+

    QAM used by American cable systems is unrelated to ATSC. They are two separate unrelated standards. The early versions of digital cable equipment from Scientific Atlanta were based on the DVB-C specification. I don't know what Jerrold/MaCom/Motorola was using. There weren't any common...

    Attn pwrsurge: A Couple of questions for you: 1. What is the ATSC/QAM tuner software status - Have the bugs been fixed? You announced almost a year ago that fixes would be coming out very soon, but I haven't seen anything in the release notes since that announcement. 2. These latest updates...

    Recording with Video Stabilizer via Composite

    Why are wasting time recording from the analog output? It's a lossy recording method that doesn't support HD. As others have stated, it should work without any issues, but why settle for a VHS quality SD recording? I record the transport stream directly to the internal drive and copy the...

    AZBox Hard Drive Not Recognized?

    My hardware acceleration was turned off. I think that this is a hardware graphics acceleration setting. It shouldn't have anything to do with HD recognition. I'm planning on buying one of the new receiver models when they become available. The new processors are much faster and have native...
