That's very interesting about the improved performance. I would like to try that mod too. My unit runs very warm now so better cooling would be needed. I've had some receiver lockups on occasion from overheating because of not enough air flow.

Nice photos and thanks for your reviews too!

The AZBox Elite using DiSEqC 1.2 still drives me nuts. With all the firmware upgrades, it seems like they would of had ample opportunity to correct this major issue.

I wonder if they are referring to the dish moving by itself issue if you don't back out of the menu just right. I hope it was that one!

I second that motion. ;)

Regarding png files: png files can easily be converted to .jpg using Windows Vista and Windows 7. Skype uses the same format for their screenshots.

You bring up a lot of interesting points. Data transfer is indeed a complicated process and one could definitely make a science project out of it. Yeah, you are right about all the variables like active FTP, passive FTP, network address translation/UDP handling, latency, the client software...

Welcome to SatelliteGuys! Any comment, opinion, or result of testing this new receiver would be greatly appreciated by all. :) Cheers

Most FTP client software that I've seen does not report transfer speed. FTP is generally faster than HTTP transfers, typically by 11% to 50% because it does not have the same overhead. FTP actually gains maximum transfer speed over time. The limiting factor in your case would probably be the...

FYI... The Daily Update Site has moved here: AZBox Daily Snapshot

I'm wondering if an applications area format is required to use this new file.

I've not found a way to record YouTube videos with the AZBox. I don't think I would anyway, but if you use Mozilla's FireFox browser, it has an add-on called "1-Click YouTube"... with very high user ratings.

That's the smartest way to use this box! ;)

I tried that but am still getting "no channel list" message when selecting a favorites folder. I tried creating a new favorites folder and had the same result. :confused:

Believe or not, I now can't figure out how to add a channel to the favorites list. After selecting the favorites tab, there is an untitled folder. When clicked on, a bubble tip says there's no channel list. I've got tons of channels programmed into the receiver! :confused:

The CS5000 can't communicate directly to the LNBF via the AZBox, so that sounds normal to me. Mine does the same thing.

I was wondering about that too. Thanks for the training session! :)

I'm with you, my AZBox doesn't automatically update nor would I want it to. The purpose of my initial topic was to help others perform a success applications format. So far, I have discovered the applications area formatting issues were due to bad firmware versions and, in my post today, the...

You are 100% correct. I'm glad we have excellent support here at Satelliteguys. Glad to see a lot of us likes a good challenge and share our findings with one another. :D

Kind of like walking on egg shells, huh? ... don't make a false move! :eek:

On your Windows PC, if you right click on the file and go to properties, then select details, you can get the exact file name of patch.bin. :) ACWXRadar I am referring to the long file names for "daily updates" at AZBox Daily Snapshot. ;)

I've discovered AZBox Elite firmware must be renamed "patch.bin" whenever doing a complete application area format. Long file names such as, "azbox-0.9.3932-patch.bin" must be changed to "patch.bin" for the upgrade boot menu to appear. Long file names work fine if loaded over existing firmware...

Putney, Thank you for posting your information about the AZBox Elite motor control and menu issues. I'm going through much of the same challenge. It's puzzling why we haven't heard more from other users about this. I hope new firmware will be available soon to fix these issues. In my opinion...

I would use a computer to format the thumbdrive for now. I haven't quite gotten there yet with the new AZBox, but someone else might have an answer. There sure is a lot to absorb...the editor and all. I'm just now figuring out how to get the motor control to work right. :eek: You are...

As long as the external harddrive is formatted FAT32, it should work fine with the AzBox and Mac.
