Sounds good T134. The Alien 2 is definitely on my short list of desirable receivers. Whatever I wind up getting, I will find out exactly what can be done via the network from another computer or XBMC and post some kind of review. Just waiting for the mini-glaciers in my yard to melt before...

Thanks, that helps clarify things. So, my understanding is that Enigma2 is not really necessary or helpful for receivers used solely in the USA? I can only receive the western arc from about 89 degrees though maybe 139 degrees, and sometimes a bit further east in winter when the neighbor's...

As some of you may know I have been on something of a quest to figure out what would be the best FTA receiver for me to buy when the weather gets a bit nicer, and I have pretty much decided that one of my absolute requirements is that programs recorded off the satellites can be viewed from other...

:popcorn This stupid thread would have probably died a long time ago were it not for the one guy who sure acts as though he has some interest in discouraging these sales, even if he says he doesn't (though I have about as much proof of that as he has about some of the things he's saying, which...

Not to beat a dead horse, but here's another thing. eBay user docsat which is actually Dr. Sat is selling "AzBox miniMe American Edition" receivers on eBay (a current link as I write this is here), from Canada of course. No problem with that, except at the bottom of the listing he displays...

Yeah, I am starting to figure that out, but either I didn't see it before or don't remember it.

The way they are talking at Fridge, there won't be any available to purchase until at least this weekend, but you knew that already. I haven't heard of anyone else bringing those in but kind of lost interest after the responses to my initial question in this thread. I don't care if a receiver...

Just an experiment I decided to call the two sites listed as dealers on the AzBox USA site. I first called "Davey Holdings DBA GotCband" in Prospect, KY, which offers receivers on their web site, but not any AzBox models. I actually got "Dave" and asked him if he sold the AzBox MiniMe and he...

Out of everything in that post, that was the thing you chose to comment on? I can't figure you out, pwrsurge. You act like you want to sell AzBox receivers but whenever it is pointed out that you just can't buy one from any of your authorized dealers, you totally ignore that. Are you hoping...

I agree, some of the points were obvious, and a few were pretty much wishful thinking but I tried to include them all. I really did not understand the distinction of "hardware blindscan" (as opposed to what?) but then I don't get into the nuts and bolts of this stuff the way some folks do.

You're right, I somehow missed that one. Sorry about that. I edited my original post and added it to the list.

And if only you could buy them in the United States, I might actually consider one. Show me just ONE web site that offers the miniMe (or any other AzBox product for that matter) on their web site. I don't mean a company that can get them, I mean a company that actually shows the receiver on...

Thanks for that information. Two questions: Can you give an example or two of a sigma based receiver? Have you found a DVB device that works reliably for you? Note I did not say card, because none of my HTPC machines have card slots. From time to time I have looked at some of the TBS stuff...

Here are the top most requested features from that thread. Note that I don't try to summarize things very often and I'm not perfect, so if I miscounted or didn't classify something quite right it was unintentional. If anyone else wants to have a go at summarizing that thread, feel free to...

I was just over at the FridgeFTA site and saw this post: http://www.fridgefta.info/forums/showthread.php?tid=33423 Unfortunately he doesn't say anything about the things I'd most like to know about, such as whether that extra processing power will let it receive 4:2:2, whether recordings...

And what does that have to do with anything? And for that matter, I don't know you, nor what your job is, nor do I really care. If you think for one minute I am going to seriously consider legal advice from some guy on the Internet, think again. I was trying to be helpful. I did not...

1. Somebody bought the brand name. 2. Somebody is releasing counterfeit units using an established brand, knowing they probably have a window in which nobody's going to challenge them. 3. :confused: Some other possibility. :confused:

Those Android 4.2 Smart TV Boxes certainly look interesting, although I might be a bit concerned about whether they are powerful enough to do a proper job on 1080p signals, and if they are, then do they have enough ventilation so that the unit doesn't overheat? Right now they all seem to come...

I have heard that also - they will do 720p but fall down on 1080p. Although, seems like lately I've heard of some newer options that are supposedly more powerful (just came across this one last night). So maybe the newest boxes will overcome that limitation?

Sorry, I had assumed that each nation had its own testing organization. Didn't know UL was in Canada too.

I never realized until reading this thread and then searching on YouTube that there actually are FTA satellite receivers that run Android (more than one - search for FTA DVS Android or something similar on YouTube) but the thing that I immediately noticed is that none of them seem to be sold by...

One I totally forgot about but that is very important on any unit with a PVR: No ridiculously small limit on the number of timers. My old Diamond only had 8 timers, that is far too few! Also, one thing that would assist a few users that have overscan issues with their TVs: Reduced CVT...

I'm sorry for your loss, but it sounds to me like maybe you either picked the wrong insurance company, or didn't consult with a lawyer to make sure that there was no way to sue the insurance company to force them to pay up. The fact is that insofar as your purchase of the appliance goes, you...

I wasn't suggesting he should hire more people. I agree that would be cost prohibitive. It's just that on the web, everyone tries to look like a big operation. It's like the companies that put an auto-attendant on their phone systems and when you call they tell you to press 1 for sales 2 for...

Very glad to hear he's still with us. I guess that's the peril of running what is essentially a one-person operation; when that one person is sick or temporarily disabled, most of the operation pretty much grinds to a halt, and if people don't know why things are not happening they can start to...
