At the radio station I work at we use mostly XDS Pro sat receivers for network programing. Although it is spec'd for -60, I've seen it still locked and functioning at -87 when the dish had a lot of snow on it.

Ok, thanks. That is what I needed.

Went out to help an old couple get their Glorystar dish pointed. I had no signal even though he has a clear horizon. I found a "fta hobbyist" choice at boot up that let me scan other sats. I got channels on 101w, 99w, but only one TP for 97w. I wanted to check other settings such as lnb LO...

Welcome. You might want to check the ver. of firmware on it. Post here. Our Coolsat experts can advise if there is a better one.

Thanks for the info. Doesn't make sense that the miniMe touted as custom tailored for North America would have a feature that doesn't work here and screws up other functions of the receiver.

I had quite a time trying to get the miniMe to operate my 2 port disqc switch. I found a setting in the manual transponder menu "use NIT" set on, I changed it to off just by chance and it fixed the switching. What is NIT for?

I too was the recipient of a free contest receiver, and it does make you respectful of your review. The miniMe needs a serious overhaul of the software that drives it. The hardware is there and 4:2:2 puts a very nice picture on your tv. The software reminds me of the Ensigma 2 OS. That is for...

Is the operating system Linux or some propitiatory system?

Umm... What chipset is it?

Here is one called Set Edit 100 from Germany that I bought for the OpenBox S-9 and also used it on the Manhattan. It costs about $30 for the registered version, but there is a free trial download that is limited to about 10 channel edits to test on your box. It seems to work on most ALI...

I found that the July 17, 2011 FW was the best version released for the S-9. All since then had little or no improvements, messed up the menus and audio. http://www.satelliteguys.us/downloads.php?do=file&id=316

Blind man's instuctions if using OpenBox HD outputs and stuck in non-supported mode This is for the guys that use HDMI or component HD outputs and accidentally get stuck in a non-supported mode like 50Hz PAL modes. Full credit goes to Ed B. for this, I did not write it. Thanks Ed...

Power Trip, What people care about 1st on the list of priority is does it work correctly. The answer is no. Your AZ products do not work any better than the ones with small differences in cabinetry. Do you remember the miniMe? This was a product that you used your salesman talents on me to buy...

I bought a miniMe from Dr. Sat. It was buggy, and very hard to use. Mr. Power Surge said they would fix this, but never happened. Sadly a common story. Save your money for something else. Mr. Surge can not deliver.

PwrSurge you must have "surged" on Dr. Sat. The box has arrived at the Oakville Post this afternoon!

Ok, thanks for checking.

PwrSurge, Does Dr. Sat actually have these in stock? You posted this on November 22, serveral members and myself have ordered one, but nothing seems to be shipped ?

Scopus, did they tell you of some delay in availability? I ordered one from DR. Sat 9 days ago, I thought they were in stock per PwrSurge AzBox Canada, but it doesn't seem to have left the shop yet, even though I received a "expedited" Canada Post tracking number.

Got one on the way from DR. Sat. With shipping to the US and currency exchange total price $229.13 USD.

Thank you for the reply. I have diesqc 1.2 dish for C band, and a second diseqc 1.2 dish for Ku, and a third dish USALS for the DBS sats. I have a clear view of the arc and with careful editing need 63 sat positions. Sure could use the extra positions if you can get it up to 99, I will be there!

How many satellites and channels can be programed in? And of particular interest how many motorized sat positions can it work with? Can you have diseqc 1.2 motor positions mixed with a Usals dish, and fixed positions?

You need a receiver with the more advanced ALi 3602 chip set such as the Manhattan to scan in hidden pids.

It's a furnace! Dam good thing they put the power supply outside or it would melt the plastic case. No doubt it will shorten the componet life. My Manhattan ran cool enough that it actually lowers the room temperature.

This should work, in fact should work without modifying the WNC switch, You can try that later. I have a extra dual port Geo Sat Pro SL2 that you can have for free, just pay ship. PM me if interested.

You are to inject 18-24v. into the modified switch from an external supply. I used a 19v. lap top power pack. The Micro set up is the same as your LNBF, 13v for vert, 18v for horz. The WNC switch will read the voltage and switch in the appropriate lnb. The coax voltage never gets to the LNBs as...
