    OTHER TBS 5925 Sensitivity

    You don't know what peoples' horizons look like or the particular signals they are trying to receive. You are painting with too broad a brush.;) Many signals are OK on a 7.5' dish but some are very marginal if they can be locked at all. A particular tuner can make or break reception of some...

    OTHER TBS 5925 Sensitivity

    jeepguy, I have tuned up my dish many times. Just looking for tuner comparisons for shopping purposes. DRCars

    OTHER TBS 5925 Sensitivity

    I think the technical feedback kind of got snow-balled. Except for a couple of people interested in my question, there hasn't been much useful info regarding the specfic comparison. However, there was a suggestion that the TBS 5925 and the Manhattan 1933 were the same at locking low level...

    OTHER TBS 5925 Sensitivity

    Tanks Ti. I have a post at Rick's also. If you don't mind can you compare the 5922 and/or 6983? I have a hunch they are similar to the 5925 from other things I have read. I also would consider getting a 6983. My Multimedia computer has a rather weak power supply (250W) so I don't know. DRCars

    OTHER TBS 5925 Sensitivity

    Just interested in how well the TBS 5925 will lock weak signals compared to the other receivers that I have. I don't believe I mentioned other "things." I don't really think other "things" matter with respect to the question. I am interested in what other people's experiences have been with the...

    OTHER TBS 5925 Sensitivity

    I have a 7.5' aluminum mesh C/Ku dish and find that I am right on the edge of receiving/not receiving many backhauls that I try to lock. I know a bigger dish would do better but don't see one being put up in the near future. I have the following receivers: DVBWorld 2104C (NOT D) USB 2.0 ...

    GEOSATpro GEOSATpro microHD v2 feature requests

    What a hoot! As in LOL. Cats know no shame whatsoever. What was this topic about? Oh, yeah, MicroHD feature requests. The Loop thru is notorious in its absence. Needs one for sure. What's this? Could someone explain its function? Sounds interesting, but haven't heard of such. DRCars

    GEOSATpro GEOSATpro microHD v2 feature requests

    My Mileage Might Differ! But I don't move any dishes or run any switches with the X2 Premium II. I don't know about that. The blind scan is definitely better than the MicroHD that I also have. The X2 also seems a little bit more sensitive. Other than that though there isn't much difference. DRCars

    OTHER Latest SW for X2 HD Premium

    I'm pretty sure you have the latest software. X2 quit working on the Premium II when they started development of the Premium III. I have kept an eye out for upgrade for my Premium II and I haven't seen any. I have same version as you. DRCars

    GEOSATpro microHD-Ku dish moving to first active sat in list

    This is correct. The original MicroHD firmware set the default TP List satellite to whatever satellite you had last selected in Single Satellite search. That was changed as described here...

    MicroHD: Pre-programmed scan vs Blind scan

    I am somewhat disappointed with the blind scanning of the MicroHD. It is my impression that it misses more channels than my old Pansat 2700A did. I'm not talking about a sensitivity problem here but channels that are missed on blind scan but lock when you put in the same TP info yourself. It's...

    GEOSATpro Can't Import Current .udf File into Mediabox Editor V1.10

    Good for us. I guess it was the deleting of the old userdb.udf, since that is the one thing that we did in common. The only reason I thought of deleting userdb.udf was that when I looked at it on the PC it showed that the modified date had not changed even though I had just saved it on the...

    GEOSATpro Can't Import Current .udf File into Mediabox Editor V1.10

    I deleted several unused channels (went from ~1100 to ~750) and it started working. I also deleted the userdb.udf file before saving with the MicroHD. MediaBox Editor is now able to edit the udf file. Don't know if this was a channel count problem, or a problem with one of the channels I...

    GEOSATpro MicroHD feature Request

    Sort channels by frequency on a satellite would be very helpful since MediaBox Editor no longer seems to work with latest version of MicroHD firmware. Edit: I deleted several unused channels to get the number of channels down to ~750 from ~ 1100 and it started working. Don't know if it was a...

    GEOSATpro microHD - New MediaBox Editor Studio Version is Available for Download

    This editor no longer works since the last firmware update for the MicroHD. Gives a "Import Error". It still works with older userdb.udf files. Sad... it was a more powerful editor than the ALI editor. Edit: I deleted several unused channels (went from ~1100 to ~750) and it started working. I...

    GEOSATpro Can't Import Current .udf File into Mediabox Editor V1.10

    Same problem here. Is there a new version that is compatible with the MicroHD? The Ali Editor just does not cut it. Can't sort stuff or do much of any kind of manipulation. DRCars

    GEOSATpro Issue With Composite Video Connection

    My composite output has never been right. I can tweak it in/out, firm/not so firm and I still only get black and white video. Could that be a problem with the cable or something in the MicroHD itself? DRCars

    GEOSATpro A Couple of Minor Issues

    Okay, I have looked around at some Audio PIDs and I am finding that there are some that are reported incorrectly for both AAC and Dolby D. I haven't run across any MPEG audio with APID errors. There is a mux on AMC 1 4040 H 30000 that I shall not name (it is on The List but with different...

    @primestar31: Yes, it (DVBViewer) actually proportions it correctly. It also has independent adjustment of both horizontal and vertical dimensions. @SatelliteAV: Unfortunately, neither of my HDTVs will unstretch. They will stretch a 4:3 (stretch-o-vision) but they won't unstretch once it is...
