    microHD Development: Feature Requests

    All satellites and uplinkers are required by the FCC (and possibly the ITU) to transmit ID. I'd assume the reason your spectrum analyzer is only showing a few sats is because the internal cross-reference between the ID and the satellite names is out of date. Although I don't personally own a...

    microHD Development: Feature Requests

    If somehow Digital Data Stream Identification could be implemented to instantly positively ID satellites, that would be great! With the small form factor and a cheap 7" LCD TV, if you have DDSI along with the spectrum analyzer, this could double as a great, inexpensive install tool :)

    Anyone excited about the microHD?

    Ahhh .. in that case I'm happy I woke up at 3AM to order mine as soon as the promo was effective ;)

    Anyone excited about the microHD?

    Couldn't take it any longer so I called. They're in and they're shipping out today! :) Upgraded my shipping to 3 day for $3 .. I won't be stressing over this the whole weekend now! :)

    Anyone excited about the microHD?

    LOL I've been watching for that little green light next to Satellite AV's name to come on to see if Brian will post an update as to whether it cleared customs today as expected or not. Now, the question is if it doesn't, is it possible for customs to clear cargo over the weekend or do they keep...

    S-Video, component or rocker switch any time soon?

    Switches do last longer than DC jacks, but it's not a deal breaker for me. If I want to cut the power to make sure there's no voltage on the coax to blow out my switches when I'm testing and making adjustments, I'll just flip the switch on the surge protector.

    4:2:2 on the MicroHD in the future?

    Standard HF rig is 160M through 10M, although these days most have at least 6M and often have 2M and 70CM as well :) By the way, where is there such a tranceiver that operates 1.8 MHz through 230 GHz? :) By the way, I was on 13cm when AO-51 had a 13cm downlink but alas she operates no longer...

    4:2:2 on the MicroHD in the future?

    I'll be the first to admit I haven't read all 500+ threads where the microHD is mentioned, however I haven't been able to track down the exact reason why or a good explanation why 4:2:2 cannot be implemented in this box. Sure the ALI chipset doesn't have 4:2:2 integrated into the chip, that...

    microHD Manual

    I generally don't read manuals and rather just play around with things to figure them out on my own, and THEN consult the manual, but where there's going to be at least another week before I'll be getting my shiny new microHD, reading it online would placate me for a little while :)

    4:2:2 on the MicroHD in the future?

    Any chance that 4:2:2 could somehow be implemented in the future?

    microHD Manual

    Is the microHD Manual available online anywhere? I searched here, Googled, looked on Satellite AV, LLC - Satellite Broadcaster Support and Equipment Distribution and didn't see anything.

    New microHD Firmware File Release and Notes 2012.06.15

    So it does wipe your channels and everything every time you upgrade the firmware? How will the OTA updates work? I assume they won't be automatic if it's going to wipe your data every single time. I hope not anyway. I plan on installing one of these boxes for someone who isn't tech savvy at...

    I think you mean "changed" not "chnaged" :P

    Anyone excited about the microHD?

    The mini to RCA cable is included with the microHD. This can plug directly into your RF modulator and if it's not long enough, RCA extensions or the double female RCA barrels are easy to find. I've seen plenty of two male RCAs to stereo 3.5mm male cables at Dollarama, Great Canadian Dollar...

    I want my microHD - Inveter is dying fast.

    Will the microHD be available in a bundle (with dish, etc) or standalone only?
