Thanks very much Radar, the only difference is that I put the box in Sleep mode or Standby, the rest is the same (but even when I have left it on it never shows any label saying it needs to record anything (someone posted it works that way I think). Not much time lately to test it , I am in the...

Thanks once again Radar but I was fully aware of that procedure even over a year ago when I bougth the box when I first "cried" about this non-PVR thing over at the Ricks site and I was adviced to use Mazedit and I also read that very usefull compilation but .... I am stubborn ,I personally...

Back to Square One again!. It was workng fine until I decided to Restore my Channel List. I had just scanned in 3 sats for testing and all was ok but a no go with my channel list. I guess I will have to start from scratch all over and create a new chhanel list and see if it fixes it.

Thanks for the offer Bobvick but I just finally managed to get it going once again. It took another full re-install cycle again , that is Format App Area then Upgrading to latest firmware 5309. The key for a full recovery is to always Reboot after the firmware upgrade (i just used the...

Well like I said I had to do the extreme after trying almost everything from several disks to several defaults and several firmwares, and that is , Format Application Area. But Beware and Do not make the same mistake I just made today , Back up all those 3 DAT files via FTP first as per...

Well I think finally the Azbox is working as intended , PVR wise. I had to twice Format the Application Area but it now works great. I can finally set manual timers no matter for which channel or satellite or at what time. It even works with the 1.5 TB internal Seagate disk. I guess it was a...

yes you could but not necessary in most cases. For sat they are called in-line amplifiers but only use them if you have long cable runs, over 200 ft. First consider a bigger dish , then aim it properly, then use high quality LNB and Feedhorn hardware, then if using RG-11 is not an option or...

Upgraded to 5309 , formatted the 500 GB USB HD with the stb to Linux and still nothing. Then decided to Factory default everything and then finally the timed recordings started working again!. But it is still flaky for some reason suddenly stops working and I have to factory default again to fix...

A 500 GB extrenal USB HD does the same thing. Timeshifting works perfect BTW. I am using 5308 fw.

Am I the only one who still is unable to set timer recordigs that acctually work properly? Ever since I bought it I have had to start the recording before leaving home and then stop it myself hours later after I came back just for a 1 hour show mid day. No matter how I set the timers , how long...

did you turn it on?

I am using Rekong on Kubuntu 11.03 and it plays fine. too bad is just flipping channels.

I hear you Lonegunman but Linux is acctually a rather powerfull OS and IMO like Unix way better than Windows. As a matter of fact I am typing this using a "LIVE CD" install of Kubuntu 10.10 (Ubuntu + KDE) on a Lenovo computer that has no hardrive now with only 512 Mb of RAM becasue its...

Bell TV re-format everything to 720p these days but thecnically they could broadcast in native format either 720p or 1080i depending on the channel. They choose to do so to save bandwith and like any pay tv provider they are bitrate hungry. Or are we the consumers, TV channels quantity hungry...

Could it be possible that the DiseqC setting for Linear birds (under Dish settings) was not properly set then? Lets say if you use DiseqC port 1 for Circular then you should set DiseqC port 2 for the rest of Linear birds like AMC 21. That would explain not getting any linear signal (only pay...

I have not seen this issue on mine. When I store lets say 79W at P12 (600) it always go to P12 at 600 clicks from day 1 till this day. The issue is that after a while (several east-west travels) P12 @ 600 no longer stops at the exact spot on the arm length that i marked at first install (my TS)...

It has rarely happened to me on Univision PR but in most cases I was able to find the recorded file by using the File Manager and renaming the file from idx.tmp to .ts. Last night I could not even find the tmp file. very weird indeed. I use 5020 and an internal SATA drive.

The OP does not mention its location so I woudl like to add that the DVB-T card is only usefull in some countries, mostly Europeans. Over here in NA (USA, Canada) the digital TV standard is ATSC therefore you need the ATSC card which I think are different depending on the AZbox receiver model...

Just an update. There was a Live International Opera Feed from the MET this afternoon at 79W that lighted up not only the Subtitle but also the Teletext icons on my Azbox Prem+ (the domestic feed had only English subtitles embeded on the video). When pressing the red subtitle key it opened a...

It also has an 11 caracteres display (that unfortunaelly misuses the first and last 2) that the Ultra lacks. In any case the Ultra seems to be a fine machine as well , too bad non will do not even old analog Close Captions at least here in NA.

1 important question to the OP. Is the AZbox slaved off the pansat? or are you using a multiswitch to distribute to both receivers?. Do you guys think there will be a lot of difference in tuner sensitivity on the same AZbox with different firmwares?. I think this is a signal issue rather than...

I think I found the few first channels that acctually show that they use DVB subtitles here in NA. Over at 58W there are a few channels that the subtitle icon lights up and also if you press the subtitle red key it shows a list of available languages. mostly spanish and portuguese. the infinito...

I always disable DiseqC before blind scanning to avoid setting the limits a PITA but. maybe with the ultra it happens but with the prem + it does not set the east limit everytime you SAVE a DiseqC position . I always use AUTO after re-clicking the VBOX and therefore it saves with the same...

maybe in another planet ! lol. my azbox prem + (now has 5020 fw) has never shown any close caption at all not even on the old RCA style A/V outputs (yes I have enable CC on the TV as well). regular old line 21 CC never work and the new DVB digital captions does not work either and at least...

I would assume they do, heck this is Canada not Cuba, lol. I bought mine from them personally at their store in Oakville, no problem , very nice and knowledgeable people. Maybe Pwrsurge, I beleive thats his member name here, reads this and can give you more details.
