Got my Azbox from Rick. Great service and quick mailing. Set up the box and was loading satellites when the front panel started reading gibberish and then I was completely locked out. Rebooted and was allowed to use remote shortly then spazed out again leaving me locked out - no response at all from the box. So here is what I have done:

1. rebooted several times - sometimes I am allowed to work briefly often it either says Azbox Me before spazzing and sometimes it just spaces right up front. I can make it work a little longer by unplugging the unit and letting it sit without power for awhile but eventually the front will show gibberish and then freeze.
2. opened box to check for loose connections. Other places on the internet stated that Azbox had these kind of problems. All appeared to be good.
3. Installed/re-installed Azbox Me E2 RTi Core v.1.8.1
4. Installed OpenRSi OpenPli 2.1 with kernel openrsi.org/kernelfiles/me/azboxme-kernel-20120204.img.
5. Put new batteries in remote.

Repeat after being encourage to do so by other users. This time with RTi E2 1.8.1 again. Usually locks me out between 4 and 6 minutes. Same sequence gibberish on face, blank, remote will get no further response. After hard reboot (rocker) will almost immediately lock up. After unplug for a few minutes I can usually get 4-6 minutes again before lock up.



It is a Saturday so Rick did not answer (I don't blame here there). Thought someone in the community may have had similar problems and knew a fix.​

While nothing is perfect, I much prefer the single AZbox forum as is here rather than how it is done on Ricks. As a common OS (E2 and AZtrino) now exists, there are too many topics which are relavent accross the different model receivers and fragmenting the information would be IMHO detrminental.

You make a valid point that too many subforums is not a good idea as it can confuse the less technically inclined. At the present time and until Android is released later on this year, AZtrino is the only OS officially supported by us and Opensat for the AzBox Me. We are working hard in improving AZtrino so that at least early adopters of the ME have a stable firmware for North American use and appreciate everyone's feedback here at SatelliteGuys. News on any new AZtrino NA firmware versions will be posted here first!

Is AZtrino for HD boxes still in development or are we EOL (or may i should say SOL ;) ?

You mean Elite/P/P+/ and Ultra? Yes it is still under development but it is currently not ready to act as a replacement for the original firmware quite yet functionality-wise but there is a developer working hard on it. An AzTrino NA edition for these models will soon be released once it is ready.

The only reason to purchase an Az is for the 4:2:2 functionality. To me the AzboxME is a like a Dreambox with the ability to blindscan and display 4:2:2 because it basically runs the same images/firmware. The Me build quality seems a bit on the cheap side compared to the older models. The Me PSU is like one from a cheap chinese dreambox clone!
Until the firmware matures I'll stick with my Fortis/UltraPlus for blindscanning and if there is a 4:2:2 feed I'll pull it, or the Azbox Ultra out.

What to do?bought zbox me and he was not working properly disconnectedSeeking a reason for hanging off the Internet and remote Receivers3 days of exclusion testing each node Receivers can not understand what was going onI wrote looking satellite channels and in 2-10 min res for anything not respondingand the old core 10 - 30 minutes and the same situationbut as a way iptv watch movies and spend hours on the nStreamVOD and everything is normalcontinue to look for the cause off the Internet and remote hang Receiversmay be overheating CPU cycles?can be factory marriage?

Have they put a fan in yet? Does it get "put" in a hot cabinet? Replace which tuner? Add to power supply? Would you like such a new model gift wrapped?

Not all power supplies are cut above; and in design for a single box; what more could you ask for or find to use? However, I bet you may be able to record the problem; using your dvr, live!

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'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.
