AZboxes have been in the US some time now and the manufacturer has give many promises but little support. This part of the forum has thrown up many faults software and hardware. It seems to me Dreambox 8000 has far more support with less problems and incompatibility.

Pedro, you disappoint me my friend!
I must punish you very harshly for this betrayal of the AZBox!
I'm just kidding of course. But, I do hope that you realize that OpenSAT is relying upon the end users to help them correct their errors with the AZBox and make it a better product for the future. Other boxes and manufacturers may be ahead of them, but we can shorten the gap with our help.
I have always been high spirited in regarding FTA as a hobby, and not an affair of perfect order. I think that if I had expected the same quality and consistency in FTA that a person could get from DN or DirecTV by paying them, I would have given up long ago. But, I do not give up and every new problem is a challange and an exciting adventure for me.
I hope that you do understand me. I expect very little, therefore I am rarely dissappointed. But, I am also an optimist, so I am always happy with everything that confronts me.
Have fun Pedro!

eh it does blind scan if you know the symbol rate
Which is actually a very nice feature. I'd like to see them keep that ability and add a good blindscan.
I wish all receivers would let you set a certain SR if you wanted to when blindscanning

Yeah, I agree. Although for high SR signals, I do something like that to quickly find active feeds using the shortwave SR method. Ie, set my shortwave say on 29860 or 29270 or 30000, or whatever SR you're looking for, then I switch through the channels on my analog receiver and listen for the quieting on the shortwave. It typically takes me less than 30 seconds to find all the active transponders on the sat I'm on, since those wide SR signals are generally centered in the transponder.

I kinda see your point Radar but AZ in their desperation came to America to help them out on sales but don't seem to listen. They are probably the first ethernet linux box to appeal to the FTA in the US but I don't think they are the greatest and their build quality especially on the tuner and dom sockets is poor
Sorry guys but I have to tell you Dreamboxes can do 4:2:2, in Europe we have been watching the football feeds on them for years. :up
I don't have a shortwave or, a baseband output on my analog receiver and probably wouldn't know what to do with it if I did

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. 
Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

when was the last time they innovated something
I'd probably say when they came up with their M-series of processors with integrated memory. That allowed Apple to get away from the inefficient Intel CPUs that were limiting their notebook computers.when was the last time they innovated something

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
