Hi Lak7, Thanks much for helping out! Been busy in the basement since requesting help, and I'm just now sitting down for supper. I'll take another stab at it with your tips. I'll brag later, I hope! --Kev--

Hi Folks, My AZ Premium-HD finally quit booting, I just got the FTDI TTL-232-5V cable in yesterday. AZ's been acting up for a while now, having to reboot from "Format HDD" option was best. I am following Radar's recovery procedures to the tee, but KIN PumpKIN is giving me the stonewall! I am...

Thanks for the input Stargaze, my apologies for not mentioning a credit towards your post in the AZ stickies. I downloaded a copy of it quite a while back, and it seems I've been overlooking it for too long now. I remember it being mentioned, when 5308 came out, that a reset was needed for...

Thanks guys. Your advice is quite sound, I have virtually no experience with any kind of Linux based systems besides that of my AZ Prem-HD. Other than updating the F/W, entering TPs, PIDs, sats, and a bit of dabbling in FTP file transfers, you could pretty much say I know nothing of Linux...

Lately my AZ Prem-HD has been getting sluggish quickly, requiring a reboot to liven it back up. I'm planning to erase everything and start from scratch with a fresh firmware install, but not until the weather is calm enough for the dish (and my patience too!). lol The topic I'd like to touch...

Thanks Radar, I'll start with the cables tomorrow, as you suggest. Another cause could be the clutter that I've let build up over the time I've had the box. It gets sluggish at the remote and needs a reboot to run better. I have a hunch that a factory reset might clear up the buzzing too...

Hi all. My AZ Premium-HD has been giving off a subtle, high pitched buzz that can be heard over the TV audio. This only happens when tuned into DVB-S2 channels. It's not very loud, but noticeable when all else is quiet, and more so when the TV volume is raised. The TV is a 42" Panasonic...

Will this patch work on 5305? I haven't loaded an update since the last YouTube fix. Thanks.

Sorry to hear of your stroke, I hope for your smooth recovery. Your message is difficult to interpret, but so far, it seems to me, you need to get your AZbox Elite back into English Language mode. Is this correct? Perhaps someone with the same STB can make up a blind-walkthrough for you. I...

Hi Lone Gunman, Thanks for the guidance! I'm running XP Pro, V:2002, SP-3 on this one, and I have 2 other 'puters, plus the AZ connected to a Lynksys router (wireless capable, but using wired). The router is wired to cable modem, getting speeds between 5 and 7 Mb/s. The wifey is using the...

Hi all, I've used MAZ 3.2 to transfer files out to my AZ-P-HD internal HDD and external HDD (on USB-1). Quite a nice feature, although the files sometimes don't show in the AZ until after a reboot. Fairly quick too, I'd say, a 1/2hr .avi file takes about 4 min. My question is; instead of...

Awesome stuff, Stargaze! Should keep me busy for a while! Thanks!

Hi Stargaze, Nice walk-through, but I'm not familiar with this "ACC" program you mention. It must be in the "ToolBox" that wouldn't open for me. I'll have a look around to find a good English copy of it. Perhaps you have a link to it? Keith, I tried your method in PID edit, and now the...

Thanks for the advice on the actuator, Lone Gunman. My dish is getting new polar axis bushings when the snow is gone, I'll have a close look at the Von Wiess then. I have 3 spares to work with too. Thanks again.

Hi folks, I just thought I'd add, that I've been running my G-Box from my AZ-P-HD since last summer, and am putting up with all of those issues too. Going standalone on the G-Box will most likely avert these issues, but will give us two remotes to work with. As I don't do much...

Hi Keith, I had this thread opened for so long that I didn't see your post! I just read thru at the link you provided, I'll try that renaming method later, once the wifey peels her eyes off the TV for the night. :p Thanks.

Thanks Radar, This editor, is it in the AZBox menu somewhere?, or is "MazEdit" what you speak of? I downloaded "ToolBox" a while back, and just tried installing it. It installs in Spanish, but won't initialize when clicking the icon. There, I just installed Maz-3 and having a look see. I...

I'm using the AZBox Premium-HD, with firmware version 5302. After scanning in a TP, I commonly rename the channels so they are easily recognized in the channel guide. The result, in many cases, is I no longer see any TP info for those particular channels, in the slot at the bottom of the...

Hi all, I'd like to add that the same thing happens with my G-Box V3000. I scrambled for about 3 hours the first time, tracing the problem to my AZBox! It's easy to prevent or reset now, but I'll be grabbing the FW fix as soon as it comes out! Cheers.

Hi jsattv, Strange you've had no replies yet. I was trying for that TP earlier today, and had only limited luck with getting a signal lock. Firstly, I had FW 5301 loaded in my Premium-HD, but went to 5300 this morning because of the box locking up (not responding to remote). Secondly, those...

Well I don't know how, but the box has snapped out of it's coma! By the way, it's a Premium-HD. The last thing I did with it was to try to do a factory reset, but was stopped at the password entry. I was convinced that my only recourse was a reset via USB, as AcWxRadar had said. By the time...

Hi all. I've just been hit with this problem too! I'm locked out of all controls, can't do YouTube because IP address won't fill in, Menu doesn't even show the DVB-S tuner, Default password doesn't work anywhere. Has anyone come up with a solution besides doing a factory reset! I dread all...

Very nice explanation, Thanks Iceberg! I might just go ahead and get me one of those receivers after all. Thanks again.

Hi again everyone, I'm curious as to what kind of TV programming is available on the GDMX feeds on 99W-G16. I found a 2 year old thread here, that touched on the subject, but had no solid details other than WB feeds with great daytime stuff that dwindled after becoming CW. Are these...
