We rushed a bit but finally launch, we have here the new image based on the official 4348, we would have liked to try but we failed due to time so if there is any failure to forgive.
Looking at the requests of the users have tried to get a new firmware to comply with them that are primarily the EPG and multimedia mainly reproductions mkv.
New:
This image brings the main novelty Epg 5 days for Astra and Hispasat Spanish provider
Screenshot of old EPG with two events
Screenshot of new EPG with 5 days
The second new is the sigma TakeControl KGD to 8634 after many tests we have seen that the main problem in multimedia playback azbox is the mismanagement of the resources it contains, because similar equipment, popcorn, wdhd, etc ... having a perfect reproduction in the same chipset sigma 86xx, the difference is that our azbox have built and linked to other aspects that significantly reduce the resources, we managed to optimize takecontrol much better.
Tests with the TC have achieved a perfect reproduction in from internal or external HDD, mainly with high bibrate mkv getting almost the same results as a NMT533 of popcorn.
From PanelKGD you have the following options:
1) General yield figure is activated soon after starting the TKC.
2) Yield TV is activated soon after starting the TKC.
3) Media Optimization is activated when the media starts
4) Optimization rss activates when you start the rss
5) Optimization youtube activates when you start the youtube.
Options 3, 4 and 5 can be used to maximum and is recommended. But in the 1 and 2 is convenient to put a very low minimum value, if the opening of channel emulation is correct and these options should not be touched . You will be able to make several tests but a very high value in options 1 and 2 can cause the system to slow down or problems.
IMPORTANT you can make several changes to the TakeControl and the effects are immediate but if you turn off or restart the computer this configuration is forfeited, so that it will have to keep going to the Settings menu and activate the TCK will be maintained as well when you reboot your configuration.
The takecontrol always know when is activated or deactivated because it showed the display.
Other developments PanelKGD:
The version 1.1 brings separate PanelKGD of takecontrolkgd another popular option for people because of problems with USB devices and HDD and their ext2, ex**, fat, etc. .. You can now format for any device in the format of choice in HDD Extras panel, there is also the possibility of converting a HDD USB or pass this on ext2 to ex** without losing data (not guarantee) the tests were satisfactory but may someone does not go well. And last on this same menu you will have the option of formatting the DOM instead of the next Upgrade to recommend changes before putting the image to this format EYE lost all data and should only be done for a makeover However before doing this format will make a backup of PanelKGD, ddirec, telnet, etc. .. and very important part of your folder so only Openxcas would have to put your data network and download the channel list.
In the channel list we made some changes now can download the channel list of the FTP server and no need to restart, the only thing to do is just have stuck antenna configure your data.
Also we have changed the panel and its webinterface DDirec now in version 2 we have corrected the problems starting from the first version, in weginterface have to
PHP Code:
Where there are 4 options available, "0" is off, "alta" is "high", "media" is "medium" and "baja" is "low" you will have to write it as such in lowercase, in future versions we will put it on the panel to configure it from there.
General changes:
Other changes are when you install an internal HDD without the default image format on startup will do it in ext2 and ex** not to now.
There have been more changes in the skin and tucked the new translations for spanish of Ajo.
We have improved some aspects of the boot.
And last and most important thank all who have collaborated and developed the image, mainly Morser which has been the developer of the EPG, the admin of azboxhd.es, Milix, Linarense, Fundidum, Yersi, Mpiero, Macmanolo and I will not forget anyone mas. We also want to thank the web provides the EPG (http://www.rytec.be/)
Best Regards

Problem is, most of those things don't matter to us over here in the US. We use our boxes totally different then you do in the UK. Here in the States cardsharing of any kind is illegal, and we cannot use a FTA box to subscribe to any TV service. All the pay TV services use their own proprietary box.
While some of us use the media player, for what we use it for it works pretty well.
Thanks for reporting the progress though, those of you across the pond may have finally found something that makes the Azbox work for you. We in the US, however, are still waiting to see, and will likely never see, fixes to help us.

Thanks to Fitch Ratings ( who gives the ratings on Credit and debt, as approved by the SEC, so they have accurate numbers) we have the totals.
DIRECTV's video subscriber base is the third-largest traditional multi-channel video programming distributor (MVPD) in the U.S. with about 8.2 million subscribers at the end of 1Q26.
The last time it was reported, it was 8.8M at the end of 2Q25, so only a 600,000 loss for 3 quarters, which is a major improvement, since for many years before that, it was losing 500,000 a quarter, 2 Million a year.
It is now losing less than Dish/Sling combined, I believe the Genre Packs are helping to retain and get subscribers.

Recently came back to DirectTV Satellite service and have two boxes, Gemini and a main HR54.
DirecTV is charging me two "TV access fees" of $10 each, but can only watch TV on the one without the server. Is there anything I can do to fix 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....

I feel like this was discussed in another thread, but I can't find it. I have T-Mobile and my last iPhone upgrade was in 2020. I want to get a new iPhone, but what is the best way to go about doing it? Should I order the iPhone from T-Mobile directly, or should I buy from the Apple Store? I feel like there are pros/cons to each option.

I have a Hopper with Sling. (Don't know exact model.) A couple nights ago, I went into the DVR screen, and noted that it was recording three programs. Yet I was able to view live TV (that was not one of the channels being recorded.) Did something change? In the past, it would only let me watch one of the channels being recorded, or any recording in the DVR menu. Maybe it was streaming, although there was no indication of that?
Apologies if this has been covered; I searched and didn't find anything.
Thanks.

Anyone have a DirecTV Local Channel Connector that you'd like to get rid of at a reasonable price? DirecTV is currently in a contract dispute with owner of my local ABC affiliate.

I did that. The response was that the LCC is not available. Escalated the issue to a tech support person with the same results.
Could be out of them I guess ... I'd keep trying, every 3-4 days.I did that. The response was that the LCC is not available. Escalated the issue to a tech support person with the same results.
If they are not out of them as them WHY you can't get one, seeing Your in a Dispute. Thats what they are for.
I would make them give you a real answer, don't let them off the hook.
I had one, and it worked well, but I believe I gave it to another D* friend (also had a AM21), I know I gave them away ...
According to the tech support guy, they don't have any in stock. He said I should receive an email when and if they have them. I even told him I would accept a refurbished unit.
I'm not sure your going to find any Refurbished ones as D* doesn't ask for them back.According to the tech support guy, they don't have any in stock. He said I should receive an email when and if they have them. I even told him I would accept a refurbished unit.

Did anyone have a price increase today on their equipment? I own my VIP211k's, and they have been $5.00. My bill that I received last week shows the "add-ons" as being $5.00. However, I just logged into my Dish account, and my "add-ons" are now $10.00. Did the additional receivers go up by $5.00 recently?
As I mentioned, my last bill shows $5.00 and under the notes, nothing is mentioned about a price increase.

Hello everyone, new guy here. I'm trying to solve problem I'm having with Dish bonus view channels. When I'm watching the bonus view channels then I switch back to regular dish channels, after few minutes the screen flips to black and after 30 seconds flips back to regular channels and continues to flip back and forth until I turn off TV. After I wait 30 minutes and turn back on , I can use regular channels again. So, its after I switch from bonus view channels to regular dish channels the problem starts. Been trying to fix this for a month, but no luck
Here what I've done.
i contacted Dish support and they sent me a new Joey3, but no help. Switched to a different HDMI input on TV, no help. Used different HDMI cable , no help. Used different electrical wall plug, no help.
Finally got a Dish tech to check it. He ran all systems check and was OK. Finally he brought in a small TV and plugged in the HDMI out from the Joey to the small TV. He could not get the problem to occur on his small TV, so the new Joey was working OK. So, then the problem must be myTV. He made some phone calls and came back with the answer that there must be a problem with the analog to digital switch in my TV. Has anyone ever heard of a problem like this, or is it time to be looking for a new TV? My tv LG OLED65C8PUA. TV has been trouble free til now. Thanks
