GBox V3000 Satellite Position/Controller

[anik]

voomvoom, I guess what you are saying is that you can connect your V-Box2 directly to the receiver and then put your four-port DiSEqC switch next in line, then you have a Multi-Switch 4x4 (??? I do not know what that is) and after that I'm so confused but anyway it appears you can put a DiSEqC switch (and, I would assume, 22 kHz tone switches) next in line after the V-Box2. Good to know.

I hope the GBox 4000 will work in a similar fashion and control the skew properly - if it's reasonably priced I just may get one and retire my old analog receiver.

I understand there is a gbox 5000 out now but it does not take care of everything the way the 4000 is supposed to. I want to make a complete change and maybe I will need to replace the lmbf. The servo motor as well as the actuator is hard wired. I have3 not been able to pull up literature on the 4000.

g-box 3000 is sold by sadouns but currently out of stock

g-box 4000 is a positioner that is a crosstalk between the members here and sadoun

I got a Gbox 3000 from Sadoun.. I like this little guy. Aside from the shipping issues and the remote being totally destroyed, The unit itself functions, and does it well. I like how it remembers the satelltie positions even if you clear out all the channel settings. Im glad I got this as over all its alot better than a V box. By far. Oh and I havent had any issues with ERR2 Keeping my fingers crossed

HI Guys,

Heads up! We have a few GBox V3000 units left in stock. If you are in the market for one, you will need to get it soon before we run out. Our next shipment will not arrive before 30-45 days.

We realize we have a manufacturing issue with the plastic on some of the remotes (a certain production batch) that cause it to break or crack during shipping. If you received a unit lately (within the last 2 months) and have a broken plastic on the remote, contact me by PM and we will ship you a replacement free of charge.

I have mine sitting here in front of me that I got from you and cant wait to hook it up!

I did a lot of research and this appears the be the best mover box on the market! Again I can't wait to get it all hooked up.

gbox 3000 setup question

I got mine 2 days ago and setup the c band this afternoon. Had to have my wife lift it up on the pole. Set the elevation 1.5 deg higher than where i lived up north and hooked up the gbox and cs4000 pro and had to keep clicking the remote till I got near my true south sat (87) and had put in the proper freq and I hit My Network. Is there a way to hold the move east and west button down or do you have to use the 1 click for one bump movement? After I tuned in 87 AMC 3 I named it and resynked it. Even went into the cs and set it up for 1.2 and saved My Network as a favorite but it would not move after I moved it off to the east and choose My network channel it did not come back to it.
Any suggestions? Do I need more than one sat setup as 1.2? thanks for any tips.
Can you put any type of switch between the receiver and the gbox?or can you put any switches behind the gbox? I have a dual feedhorn with 2 cband lnbs . Can I use a zinwell 6 x8?

The way my V-Box2 is hooked up:
Receiver < V-Box2 < Diseqc 4x1, lnb 1 < Multi-switch 4x4 < v/h to dual C-Band lnb, 22KHz side v/h to Dual Ku-Band lnbf on P* 1m dish(note my Bud is C-Band only, all others are Ku-Band from Torodial or dedicated ku dishes)
lnb 2 < Multi-switch 4x4 < v/h to Dual Ku-Band lnbf on Torodial, 22KHz side v/h to Dual Ku-Band lnbf on Torodial
lnb 3 < Multi-switch 4x4 < v/h to Dual Ku-Band lnbf on Torodial, 22KHz side v/h to Dual Ku-Band lnbf on Torodial
lnb 4 < Multi-switch 4x4 < v/h to Dual Ku-Band lnbf on 90cm dish, 22KHz side v/h to Dual Ku-Band lnbf on 90cm dish

Hope this helps..!!!

It's been more like years than months that there has been that issue (I got mine from you over a year ago and the remote plastic was broken when it came). I can verify that you ship out replacement remotes right away because I had emailed you about the broken plastic remote and had a new one in my hand in about 2-3 days.

I like the fact the innards of the box itself seem to be constructed better - no solder joint problems like the V-box that I had before this GBOX.

HI Skysurfer,

The remote plastic issue was with one batch of production at the time. That has been corrected since then and we replaced all remotes. Glad you got yours replaced as well. Cheers.
