This may wind up requiring a new thread but I think it may just be something I can's accomplish here. The only cables that are plugged into my TV come from assorted sat receivers, betamaxes, a laser disc and a DVD player. There is no internet on my TV. The internet is wireless- there is an...

No luck yet on finding those programmes for a MAc- a google search gave me another thread here that did not reveal anything- any ideas where to look? I tend to find very little that will work on my computer since most things these days are designed for Mac useres who have succumbed to OS X...

Thanks for the link. Downloaded the files and from my brief perusal of them it appears that in order to do this one will need to have the AzBox connected to a Windows PC on a network. Correct me if I am wrong. If this is the case then I will not be able to do the chgane since I have a Mac...

Once one downloads these files and unzips them how does one get them into the AZBox? I have done firmware upgrades but never figured out anything with the channel lists, the fact I never got a useres manual with the device has not helped in that respect.

I have been able to get stereo audio via the optical output running it through a stand alone box but that hass its own problems since said box has been known to turn itself off for no good reason at all making and thing recorded on timer have no audio. I have not been able to figure out how...

Was wondering if anyone who has a realtibely new version of the firmware knows if they have fixed the two big bugs i found with the device. 1) you cant get stereo sound out of it unless you use an external ac-3 decoder. 2) on certain feeds such as ABC on G4 all the blacks are dark grey...

I tried it last night, since it did solve one of my major issues with the unit I did a report / review in a thread dealing with that issue: http://www.satelliteguys.us/2024639-post31.html

Firmware 3877 Firmware 3877 was relased for the AZbox earlier today. I TOFTT and discovered that it actaully fixed one of the 3 big problmes I was having with the unit. It also has the audio dropout problem that I had read was in the previous version (which is why i did not use it) fixed The...

I have not yet gone through the time and trouble required to get the latest formware since the big fix list did NOT say it corrected anything I was having problmes with AND there is reportedly issues with audio dropping out that are a newly introduced bug. I did get an email a few days ago in...

Have had problems with macrovision also. sometimes it just turns itself on. Although when I have had it on it is on for everything. Rebooting the AZBox will sometimes get rid of this (and sometimes not). I could detect no pattern for why or when it turned on. A macrovision stripper allows the...

THE TIMER HAS MAJOR ISSUES If you are not using an expensive hard drive of some type and just want to record the SD signal coming out on a stand alone device (DVD recorder, Betamax etc) the timer does not behave like that of any other receiver. Been using an outside device for many years and...

Note that although the AZbox does decode the AC-3 audio it will not output the decoded audio in stereo through either the RCA jacks or the scart plug. In order to stereo audio you need to use either the Optical output and run it through a seperate decoder or have an HD TV and use the HDMI output.

They have sent the latest buggy firmware for the AZBox 3661 to the Beta testers and someone has leaked it. I am not trying it out at this point in time since none of the things fixed or improved are the major problmes I ahve had with the thing, let alone the minor ones. 1)Timer does not work...

Do you know if the timer work around will work with that software? Would hate to have to go through the trouble of getting 3501 to load into it, loose all my channels and have to reprogramme them only to loose the klugey timer.

Thanks AcWxRadar Not really wanting to invest more money into this with really big hard drives Until I know it might do what I want. I did however modify your suggestion a bit. And it kinda sorta works in a bizzaro world fashion. I had already discovered that a reserve to play it...

I have been trying in vain to get the AZBox to chnage channels on it sown so I can make an analogue recording of a programme on an external device (Betamax). I have been unable to figure out how this can be done. The fact that the AZBox came with no instruction manual is not a big help. At...

All of the audio that comes out of the RCA jacks is a mixed mono of the sources that are being fed. One of the units many faults is that it cant get stereo oaudio output here, confirmed this on AMG TV whihc has mono audio on one channel and on the AZBox it is the same on R & L. The other big...
