That Openbox S10 I have seems to be dead or in La-La-Land... I think the term is "bricked" ??
It's been flaky for a long time. Many times it won't boot. Usually I cycle the power switch and it will then boot.
But for about a month now it won't boot. It just says "ON" but never will display "BOOT". Nothing at all comes on the screen.
For all intents and purposes it's dead, I can't get it to do anything at all.
Is there anyway to reset it? I know on my computer there are two pins you can short out to reset it to factory defaults.
Can you do that to this thing? I opened it and see nothing inside to indicate what's what.
Or should I just take a hammer to it and buy something new? I'll never buy another Openbox, between mine and my dad's, they are garbage.
I'm not impressed with the MicroHD, I see people having problems with it too. I am wanting to replace the Openbox with an Azbox ME but they appear to be hard to come by for a decent price.
I'm hoping there is some magic trick I can try to salvage the thing, I paid like $140 for it and I hate to throw it away just yet.
Thanks.

OMG..
I promised Brian I would write about the little MicroHD tuner on Saturday. But today I've had personal problems with someone who spent the day grating on my last raw nerve and I'm so freaking angry I can't think.
I need a few days to cool down and clear my mind.
My apologies..

No time frame necessary. Take care of yourself then post an honest review when you are ready!
I've had some boyfriend breakup drama
going on and haven't messed with anything for a few days. However during the past few days I've had fun with DST and the timers then today we had a power failure so I had to bring it all back up after that.
It wasn't a big deal but the clock went poops so I had to reset it because I have to get my cartoons! I'm really digging the heck out of Harveytoons on PBJ @83w !!
I'm DVR'ing them all, my plan is to spend all weekend watching them.
There are a few questions I'll have about the recording types PS vs TS and how to set the timers to record thusly.
I did a few up and down grades of the software when I was trying to get the info button to display all the details then after reading I found that it's because of the time shift that it was disabled.
Ooopsy! Upgraded again and turn off time shift and got the info button back.
Not quite ready to move it from my hobby room to my bedroom yet but I think pretty soon.. It's looking pretty good and I'm pretty sure I'll end up buying a 2nd one in the not to distant future.
It seems stable so far. The remote is many times improved over that HORRIBLE Openbox remote that you can't read with the white text on white buttons! And too many buttons at that!
This remote is clean, easy to ready and basic. It works.
I still haven't tried the feature of recording one channel while watching another. I still need to read up on that.
I also tried an assortment of switches and combinations of switches and motors and it all worked fine.
Another plus in it's favor is that it operates my USALS dish all the way from 72w to 129w, those are the limits I can see because of trees.
The Openbox S10 would not move the dish any further west than about 103w. I had the correct info entered into it but it just wouldn't move the dish past 103 no matter what. This thing did it the first time, every time.
Anyway, this is not by any means intended to be my review, I just wanted to give a small progress report since I've been offline a few days longer than I expected.. I will get it done soon though and I have taken plenty of quality photos.
I even opened the thing up and took photos just out of curiosity. There was no sticker that said not too so I did. I just wanted to see what was in this tiny little thing. I was amazed. No idea what's in there but it's pretty amazing to look at..
Thanks Brian and I promise not to disappoint.

Browns lose a close one with... The Jets. That is a classic Browns loss (granted, any loss is a classic one it seems). 49'ers, Vikings, and Chiefs remain undefeated. The AFC north have a three way tie at 3-2 for second place.
A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

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....

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.
I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.
Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

For the naysayers who did not think this service would make it, just added another 4.9M subscribers and that was after the removal of 1.2M Russia subscribers.
This is even better, Paramount+ revenue grew 120% and Subscription revenue grew 74% year-over-year ( 2nd quarter 2021/ 2nd quarter 2022) to $830M, principally reflecting paid subscriber growth on Paramount+.
Now compare that to Peacock with only 13 million paid, 13 million free.

So, this means that those of us with Commercial Free subs, won't be Commercial Free, unless we wait till after the show is over ?
Which would make same day, not that big of a deal.
Paramount+ has always had the CBS shows on the CBS local channel and yes with commercials. What they are doing now is releasing the OnDemand versions of the show which I believe they don't release until after the shows air on the west coast. And they will be commercial free if you subscribe to the ad free version of Paramount+.So, this means that those of us with Commercial Free subs, won't be Commercial Free, unless we wait till after the show is over ?

I wasn't up at 3:00 am to check but they are there at 8:00 am today.
The new curated multiview is now live.
While on many of the sports channels and non sports channels there is a multi view option button. It will pull up a side bar with many different multi view options.

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…
