    AZBOX AZBox Recovery Procedure for a box locked up in booting/checking/loading

    darkCoklat, From all appearances, it looks like all your hardware is in good shape. You were able to communicate past the point where my first failed AZBox was, I never got to the point of recovery with my failed box as it was a physical hardware failure and I had to send the box in...

    GEOSATpro HD DVR Recording Playback Problem

    If I may chime in here, too... I have never utilized the standby mode on any receiver, I always leave them in the FULL ON mode 24/7. Reasoning? It's always ready to go, doesn't appear to create any problems, doesn't consume enough power to change the electric bill, and I don't have to fret...

    GEOSATpro I just wanted to say that the µHD rocks!

    Awesome! This is what a FTA (or any receiver) should be: Functional, dependable, versatile, inexpensive, basic (without being cheap or lacking) and USER FRIENDLY of course. I really comprehend what you are saying! WOW! Maybe I am empathic? Hummh?.... No, I guess I just have the same...

    AZBOX Premium + Wireless Settings For Verizon FiOS Wireless Router?

    MarkVA, Was your connection working well before the upgrade? How were you connecting then (static IP or DHCP)? Personally, I have always set my AZBox to a static IP address because that allows for simpler and more manageable connection to the AZBox using MaZEdit and ACC etc. If you have not...

    GEOSATpro I just wanted to say that the µHD rocks!

    Hi Dee_Ann, Good to hear from you again! Very glad to hear that you are "rockin" with your uHD! Just received mine a few days ago, but I won't have the time or opportunity to get it set up for a couple of months, maybe. Depends on the weather and my work schedule. I had a heck of a lot of...

    GEOSATpro microHD zero response?

    Westerneagle, Quoted from the stickie post by Ice: "After you do an update its best to do a factory reset after it updates. I've run into a few bugs after a software update and after it reboots then do a factory reset again. That fixes it" It is very good advice to read all of the "stickies"...

    GEOSATpro Power, Timer and Random Issues - Solved CFL Light Bulbs

    Kallesatman, I noticed that you disliked my previous post. I want to be sure that you understand that it was all a "tongue-in-cheek" ribbing from me to Pop. There was no seriousness meant nor intended, it was all pure tom-foolery and a bit of horseplay. I didn't want you to think that I was...

    GEOSATpro Power, Timer and Random Issues - Solved CFL Light Bulbs

    RV1Pop, That is very interesting. I have a 34 ft tow-behind at the river and that is where I started my FTA sat days. Never had any CFLs in the camper, but used a lot of halogens and LEDs, I don't figure they would bother anything. I will have to keep this in mind in the future if I detect...

    GEOSATpro HD DVR Recording Playback Problem

    Very nice WR! My nephew leases a retired MW repeater tower for his HAM radio club, similar to the one in your pix. It is a lot of fun to "play" there, but I won't climb it! Too high for me! :) RADAR

    GEOSATpro Please Clarification of microHD and HDD (DVR) Useage

    Brian, I was just browsing in the MicroHD forum because I have been pondering ordering the micro in the near future, so I was just reading up when this thread captivated my curiosity. I currently have several of the AZBox Premiums and a Premium Plus which all have Time Shift features. I...

    AZBOX WARNING: AzBox Premium HD Plus counterfeit units now being sold in the North American market!

    Pwrsurge, I want to take the time to personally thank you for being so proactive in this endeavor. I have not had an experience with a counterfeit box, but I did deal (long ago) with a rather unreliable seller who would not honor the warranty arrangement and policy as prescribed by Opensat...

    AZBOX AZ BOX PREMIUM+ (NO SINAL - NO QUALITY)

    I believe that it is a hardware issue, with the tuner, which is designed and built by a consigned company. If it were a firmware or software problem, I think they would have compensated for it by now. On another point, you can enter the data for the channels you want (as opposed to scanning)...

    AZBOX AZ Premium current sat/trspndr list available?

    Flinthill, I belive that Stargaze will chime in soon here. He had some great sat lists that you can try. PowerSurge might have something for you, too. If you know his shops website, you might browse around there for a list. I am not sure if they post their (his) lists on their business...

    AZBOX AZ BOX PREMIUM+ (NO SINAL - NO QUALITY)

    Chasmtl, Good catch on the port connection! That was an easy fix. That % SQ sounds reasonable. I think you can do better with the dish/motor alignment to hike up your signal quality % on the AZBox, but I wouldn't fret about it too much at this time. Get to know your new AZBox reciever first...

    AZBOX AZ BOX PREMIUM+ (NO SINAL - NO QUALITY)

    chasmtl, Are you using a fixed point dish or a motorized dish? Ku or C-band? Have you downloaded and read the "A-Z Guide for AZBox" yet? Are you certain that you connected the cable to the LNBF-IN jack and not the LOOP-OUT? In your set up menu, do you have the correct LNBF type selected and is...

    AZBOX Changing the radio icon to a black screen on the Azbox

    Stargaze, Have you tried to save other images (as opposed to the original or just a black sreen) to this file? Do you know what the video size/resolution limits are? I think it would be a novel option if you could save a theme-based picture or photo here, but I am not sure if this files...

    AZBOX No image after Sleep Mode

    PJCL, My opinion is that this is not a normal operation situation and that it should not be. However, I don't know if that is how all the AZBox P+ units respond or not. Currently, I cannot test mine to find out for you as I am currently disconnected from my sat dish and I never used the SLEEP...

    AZBOX Cable Tuner for Premium+

    Phoxx, I was under the impression that the cable tuners for the AZBox were not compatible with the system used in the US market at all. They were primarily versed towards the Brazilian cable market from what I had read. With regard to the post I quoted below (from Brian @ SatelliteAV) this...

    AZBOX AZBox premium HD+stuck on welcome, booting,checking,loading,then black

    Saul, It sounds to me that your AZBox's "resolution" setting does not match your TV. You will have to set this up and it is what all new owners of this box usually must do otherwise the screen is just blank (black). Simplest way is to just look at the front panel display on the AZBox and...

    azbox and pointing

    Just to comment along the same line: I found that once I had my Ku band H-H motorized dish optimaly aligned to the arc by using my Coolsat 5K, I was able to set up all the satellites in the AZBox that I could dial in via USALS and they all just fell right in place lickety split. The problem...

    I stand corrected then. I don't have the ME model, but it sounded from the previous dialog that it might have a fan. The Premium and the Premium Plus models both do. RADAR

    Azbox ME problems

    Should be on the main setup menu (first page) when you enter settings. About mid-point in the page, right along where the hardware accelerator feature is, but don't mix 'em up! RADAR
