To make it clear - my unit is cold outside. I discovered it has thermal problems because blowing air in the openings of the cover is extending significantly time between reboots or freezes. Also when I run the receiver 1-2 hours without cooling and ignoring all the problems it eventually locks...

I have spend all evening today testing the problem. Right now I am sure I got defective receiver. It does not matter what I do and what firmware version I am using the box is getting suspended./frozen or starts rebooting. When I am watchingh HD channel it is just shortest path to the problem...

I will try Sadoun version of firmware today evening and I will let you know if it works. Thanks --Jan

I am using motorized dish with one switch. The switch is necessary to let me select linear and circular part of the LNBF. The dish is set up perfectly so I use only USALS. This setup works perfectly on my AZbox Elite. I just turned power off on both receivers and manually connected dish...

Jim, The freezing is not caused by signal degradation. I am using 1m dish and it works without problems with my AZbox Elite. The receiver is freezing and becomes inaccessible until I turn the power off or from time to time it reboots on its own. It happens only on the HD channels including...

I just got OpenBox S9. It is easy to use and overall nice receiver. The only problem not allowing me to use it is freezing on HD channels. I tried few versions of the firmware including firmware provided above and it is freezing on HD all the time. Good example of the channel causing...

I am the avid PBS FTA viewer from Southern Ontario. Thanks for all the clarifications and advices. This is one of the reasons why it is valuable to be a member of the SatelliteGuys. PBS is the only station claiming to function based on public support and broadcasting many channels in the...

For me the PBS HD/SD channels are really invaluable. I am spending about 75% of my TV time watching PBS HD feeds or PBS World, Create and Montana. It would be fantastic if as SatelliteGuys community we can somehow show special appreciation to the PBS station and let them know how popular...

I am avid PBS viewer. On my AzBox Elite Montana PBS 12104MHz 4340Ks(V) SID 2 V-PID 33 A-PID 38 is in the clear. No problems receiving.

Thanks for response. I just got AZbox HD Elite and it is my first receiver with 12V output and 12V option in the dish menu. When I modify my setup I am going to use the switch as A/B switch to select remote motorized dish or nearby stationary dish farm. I was not sure if the 12V switch I...

I have Digiwave Technologies 12V switch. I do not have any technical parameters of the switch. Can I install it between receiver and motor or will it burn? Any advice will be appreciated

I am considering to buy Fortec 6ft (180cm) prime focus dish with motorized polar mount and BSC621 lnb. Looking at the Ku band only, how above setup performance will compare with the motorized Fortec 4ft (120cm) offset dish with Invacom lnb? Thank you.

I already have decent FTA Ku Standard Definition setup. I also have HD home theatre setup used mostly with BD/DVD and local HD. I can not upgrade to C system because of wife/neighbors factor. I am considering upgrade to the HD AzBox. I am not sure if the purchase of HD 4:2:2 receiver...

Hi will be missed by many. Sir Arthur Clarke was SF writer, inventor and philosopher. Hi served well all humanity. -- Jan

Right now my garden is covered by 3 ft of snow but I am already planning for the spring/summer season considering all my options. The 1.2m dish is $136 Canadian + TAX. It is not in the stock at this moment but they used to have it and they can get it again if I ask. Another option is 39’...

>> My last Merc II purchase was for $22 plus shipping I will not miss such occasion if I get it. Thanks for all the advice --Jan

I am planning to add motorized 1.2m dish to my collection. This is the link to the dish I can buy locally. Digiwave Dish Please let me know if you have any experience with this dish. Is it possible to motorize this dish? -- Jan

I have only one receiver Coolsat 5000 Platinum. I am using it for blind scanning. There is recently a lot used and new low priced satellite receivers available locally in my area. For HD and 4:2:2 I am using my USB DvbWorld with S2 abilities. Are any of low price standard definition...

Did anybody try to use the 36V positioner with the 24V actuator? Will it shorten significantly the life of the actuator or burn it? I am asking these questions because I can get the 36V positioner and 24V actuator for ½ price. It is joined transaction. -- Jan

Thanks a lot for the answers! It makes me confident that my assumptions are right. What is the model of the positioner box you are using? Thanks --Jan

Thanks for the response. Sorry for the unclear description. Yes the link you provided points to the solution close to my concept. As I understand from the positioners descriptions it is possible to switch DiSEqC positioner sending signals from the standard dvb satellite receiver by the coax...

By HH motor I understand coax powered HH motor like SG2100. Thanks. -- Jan

"The positioner can accept DiSEqC 1.2 commands from a satellite receiver. Controls and displays position.” My question is: Can we stack in the serial configuration (looking at coax cable) positioner and HH motor and control motor and actuator at the some time? The idea is to add actuator...

I am glad that originated by me thread is so alive. I have two questions: A. Is the C as sensitive to the latitude as Ku? My position is 43.5 North. Do I have chance to get basic C with 1.2m Dish or I am to far North? B. I have two possible positions for C dish. One is with the horizon...

Thanks for the clarification of the 4dtv. If we consider wild feeds from: A. Sport events B. Live news transmission What is the ratio between Ku and C in each category (including analog and digital)?
