    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    That would be nice, but what I really want is to be able to stream TO the Azbox, not FROM it. This should also be doable, but at least for high bitrate stuff, will probably have to wait until they remove the recording limits, as I'm guessing that receiving a stream will probably share the same...

    EDIT: NEVERMIND...user error... see edit at end. ?? HIGH SRs on DVB-S2 transponders ??? Has anyone here sucessfully locked transponders with SRs above 30,000 ??? I was just now looking at some DVB-S2 transponders, both on my Azbox, and on my TT3200, which is slaved to the Azbox, and...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    Actually, I had never tried editing the channels. I was just happy that I got it to upload a sat list that was ordered properly and to fix a corrupt satellite list that the receiver came with, which wasn't easy. But I just tried the channel editing thing, and yes, I got the same error...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    Slaving via the passthru of various receivers is not equal. I do slaving all the time, but I've found that the output from my Coolsat is the worst of all my other receivers. These passthru things seem to often have amplifiers in them, and the results you get at the slaved receiver seems to be...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    That doesn't work for me. In that window, none of the colored buttons do anything at all for me. Where I was trying to order things was in the setup/TV Channels/DVB window, when you do an OK on the satellite, it pops up a list of the sats, and down at the bottom there is a blue button that...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    Well, it happened again. I had to re-scan a DVB-S2 HD 4.2.2 transponder, and it came up with no audio (same one that came up no audio before). This time I did what you said, and rebooted it with power switch, and the audio came back. I had done that one of the previous times, but it didn't...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    Thanks. Don't want to use optical cable, since I'm out of inputs, and want to use the receiver with Az with TV audio, and TV doesn't have optical input, only optical output. However, I scanned in about 50 new channels, and haven't had the problem again... however... everything I've tried so...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    This morning, I tried a new sat. Loaded up the NBC MPEG4 channels on AMC18. Again..... no sound. Did what you suggested above, and that fixed it again. I guess the question is, is this just my system, or do you have to reload the firmware every time, at about 5 min. If you have to do this...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    THanks. I had forgotten about reading that. Just did it. THanks. While there, I pulled channel & sat data back to look at it, using FTP (I had to activate FTP in the setup menu). Also noticed that the URL that the Azbox goes to for factory firmware was http://www.azupd.com I tried...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    Thanks again. THat seems to have worked, ie the reboot. When I first tuned in the 4.2.2 channel though, it had really weird sounding audio, but I changed channels, and back into it, and it was OK. Also, the reloading the firmware went differently this time. I never lost video at any time...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    Well I'm used to weird things happening to me, suggesting that I'm usually responsible. New problem though..... I just scanned in two of the 4.2.2 S2 8PSK transponders (4 channels) on G28. After reading multiple posts the last few days until my eyes were blurry, I seem to remember that...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    Well, I couldn't wait again... I was thinking about maybe doing it via internet, even though I really wanted the most recent firmware, and after checking, what I had seemed to be most recent. However, I hadn't set up the internet yet, and the SI page gave me an error on internet page each time...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    Well I couldn't wait...... I tried to reboot via remote, which I guess is more of a wakeup. Came back up with same old firmware. I tried to reboot via switch in back. Azbox came up, but no display on TV, however the display on the box said something about USB UPDATE, so I was guessing...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    New issue. Got the thing in 1080p for sure. Got the thing speaking English. Put new firmware on thumbdrive. Went into SI page, set firmware Upgrade to USB. Told it to do the upgrade. It's just sitting there now. THe display on the box is blinking. I'm thinking that it needs a reboot...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    Thanks. That did the trick. Got it in 1080p mode now. :) Now off to play with it. EDIT: Well I *THOUGHT* it was in 1080p mode, because that was what was displayed on the AzBox screen, but I just looked at the info page that came up on the TV, and it says 480i, and the text seems to not be...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    I couldn't see any menus on the TV. It said "settings" on the LCD screen on the receiver. Tomorrow, I'll try the other outputs to see if I see anything. THanks.

    What video input did you use? HDMI gave me a message about unsupported mode or something like that.

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    I also just received an ebay Azbox. Also no manual. Also the unusual power plug. However I had a power plug that fit it, so I used that. Connected it via HDMI, and turned it on. On the Azbox, it said loading, then eventually "settings" or something like that. However nothing on the TV...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    Oh, OK. I thought there was another Azbox site that I hadn't found. I had read posts about the Azbox doing it itself. Don't have my Azbox yet, but wanted to have everything figured out ahead of time. Looks like I may need to change the routing in my LAN here. The subnet I have my sat stuff...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    I would still like to know where you find the firmware for the Azbox. The Azbox web page download section doesn't work, and when I googled, I get only european sites that seem to have non factory firmware.

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    Where are the firmware updates found? I looked at that Azbox web page, and it didn't look like the downloads page was working yet, although I probably missed something. Also, I'm curious, in reading through all 120 msgs today, I saw a couple things I didn't quite understand. First, it seems...

    Thanks. I read through 90+ messages looking for this link, did a google, and came up with dozens of rick's satellite that weren't him, etc. finally. :)
