    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    #3 It appears to be custom compiled with the 2.6.15 kernel as of the 0.9.2280 firmware. The 0.9.2880 is the latest firmware that has a compatible editor.

    Pansat 9200 w/ S2 8psk Addin Card

    Photos added Here are two pictures of the Pansat DVBS2+ board and one picture of the board installed. The fan visible in this picture was just something I had laying around that happened to fit perfect on the heatsink so I spliced it in.

    Pansat 9200 w/ S2 8psk Addin Card

    I've been able to receive this channel at anytime of the day that I have tried to watch it after fine tuning this past week. It may be a location issue or something else. I know I had to adjust and fine tune very carfully to be able to have constant reliable reception with the 90cm dish for LPB...

    Pansat 9200 w/ S2 8psk Addin Card

    UPDATE: Although this is an old review I thought I would update it in case people are still using it to make a purchase decisson with. I was never able to tune anything with the ad in board that came with this unit. As has been mentioned in other threads from time to time there are now at least...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    I was able to change the reslotion by pressing the resolution button on the remote while connected via hdmi. The resolution button cycles through the PAL 50 hz resolutions first 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p and the the NTSC 60hz resolutions of 480i, 480p, 720p,1080i and finally 1080p, if you...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    I don't have a hard drive hooked up but for fun one day I put a video and a few FLAC files on a USB flash drive and had no problem playing them.

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    I've enjoyed the azbox so far. It is still a bit buggy but works good for FTA and the 4:2:2 support has improved with the latest firmware. I would not look to much into the other features of the unit such as the web browser, as they are very basic right now. You can play movies and music from an...

    Review: Azbox Elite HD FTA Receiver

    Cool review stogie. I just got one of these units yesterday. It is fun to play with. I have a couple of things to add. I can confirm it works with a motor I am using USALS with a SG-2100 without issue. Another audio format it plays is FLAC, I didn't see that one listed above. A video fomat...

    Pansat 9200 w/ S2 8psk Addin Card

    I know this is old but I just caught this! Wish I had room for a BUD! I've been trying to figure out a way to do this for a while. I have a Zero Lot line home which equals very little space. I might be able to put a 6 to 8 foot up but would only be able to see a few degrees off of 97.0w (my...

    Pansat 9200 w/ S2 8psk Addin Card

    I worked with the box all day yesterday. We had some strong straight line winds over the last week so I decided to go out and tweak the dish, as it was off a bit and I had not checked on it in over a year. I made a couple of quick adjustments using my Sathawk 4K and came back inside and did a...

    Pansat 9200 w/ S2 8psk Addin Card

    The add-in board did come with a nut to secure the coax jack to the back. That is the only thing holding it in place but it works. It seems like there should have been a bit more, such as a plastic standoff or something. The unit is much warmer than any other box I've used with the exception...

    Pansat 9200 w/ S2 8psk Addin Card

    Sorry about the formatting, I wrote the review on a BSD box with a very basic text editor, ftp'd up and down at home did a copy paste from my fancy laptop at home.

    Pansat 9200 w/ S2 8psk Addin Card

    Thanks, I actually wrote the review in a text editor earlier this week I took the pictures last sat. and tonight. Hopefully future firmware upgrades will enable the esata port and fix the SR issue. Wish I could lock a tp with the add in card. Maybe I will have time to play with it some more...

    Pansat 9200 w/ S2 8psk Addin Card

    Just wanted to note that the camera that I used was an old 2.0 megapixel and it does not do justice to the video quality of my monitor or the output of the pansat 9200

    Pansat 9200 w/ S2 8psk Addin Card

    Pansat 9200 review and thoughts: Where I bought it and why: I decided to buy from ebay as I wanted the s2 / 8PSK addin card to see what it actually does. There has been a lot of speculation as to what this card offers for the true FTA hobbyist. I got a decent price on the combo and...
