    GEOSATpro GEOSATpro MicroHD boot loop

    I just dug the MicroHD out of mothballs and wanted to see if there was any updated firmware. Like others, I had a boot loop issue from having deleted transponders but not deleting the satellite. I ordered the serial cable and discovered that some of the pins needed to be moved to the right...

    AZBOX AZBox Channel List Corruption..........AGAIN???

    After using the MicroHD for the last few years, I dusted off the AZBox Premium HD+ to see if it was worth keeping. With that box, I learned a great deal about FTA, buggy software and corruption, linux, FTP, and the personalities that wanted to protect their niche in the market. I think it was...

    OTHER X2 M1HD Issue/Recommendation

    Good point. No, I did not. I used a small desk fan and directed it at the box from below, then above. I did not think of drawing air through the box. Thanks...

    OTHER X2 M1HD Issue/Recommendation

    FWIW, I tried setting a fan underneath the box and then on top of the box to help cool it. I gained a few seconds of time before the boot loop started again. I will play with the box again today while I wait for a return authorization. This is not my first box. The MicroHD continues to perform...

    OTHER X2 M1HD Issue/Recommendation

    Well, now it's my turn. An X2 M1-HD arrived today. During setup, it began the boot loop and when I turned it off, it restarted all by itself and did the boot loop again. I've contacted the seller before searching for solutions on Satellite Guys. This is a timely topic. I purchased one a year ago...

    GEOSATpro Avoiding the boot loop

    I bo't the MicroHD when it first came out, so I've had it about 2 years (I think). I looped it once recently and had to go back to the AZBox HD+ for awhile. I had the most recent updates installed and had installed according to the recommendations. The MicroHD is small and easy to use. It does...

    AZBOX Anyone turning OFF the fan on the AZBox P+?

    The fan produces so much noise that it gets distracting. I turned the fan off the last few days. Touching the top of the box shows it to be warmer than my hand, but not by much. Ambient temperatures around the box do not exceed 70*F this time of year and it is protected from sunlight shining on...

    GEOSATpro microHD Hard Drive Compatibility Thread

    Re: Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk 1.5TB Black External Hard Drive STAC1500100 Could this drive be powered with a 12-volt plug rather than a 120-volt adapter? Thanks...

    I'd be interested in any off-grid testing of this box.

    heading to kansas city this week for easter. want to go see ricks satellite in blue springs.

    I have the HD P+ and I'm happy with it now. Some software quirks were frustrating to circumvent...mainly the issue that renamed the positions. There is good support on this forum as well as at Rick's forum.

    AzBox Premium+ observations after 6 months

    I got the AZBox Premium+ when Montana PBS went S2. My experience was limited to a 1-meter dish with Traxis 3500 and Lexium DBS7000 receivers which have virtually the same firmware. I wanted top-of-the-line. I was warned of the power supply failures, but have had this box for 2+ years and no...

    Azbox Browser - How Do You Navigate in It - for Keyboard Commands?

    Flash player doesn't work either when using the Browser....so you won't be able to watch any movies such as on hulu.co_. There are no 'page down' functions on the remote, so moving about the page is difficult in the absence of a pointer. The usb keyboard works, but, as I recall, something other...
