Titanium Brian, I'm not using my MicroHD anymore, so can't easily look this up. How do these numbers correspond to what version and date of firmware?

 

[cyberham]

primestar 31 the information is as follows.
Software Ver TDV10290-1-0-2-0
Product Ver HDVS 54012-1211457AO 2014-4-25

This agrees with mine except for the date. My date is 2013-6-26.

I did exactly what cyberham advised, however, the Micro does not scan at all....

Even if the microHD didn't scan (different problem), did the microHD receive a signal from any of the active transponders?

 

[archibald]

No.
I used the Micro on a separate dish without a diseqc switch.

 

[cyberham]

Just a thought...since there is nothing to lose...why not try a Factory Reset command in the Tools menu?

 

[primestar31]

No.
I used the Micro on a separate dish without a diseqc switch.

Do a switch, temp hook the receiver that is working, to the dish the MicroHD is on. Does it work there?

 

[archibald]

I wrote to Geosat with regard to my problem.They have not responded.Not their problem.
I assume the Micro is no longer produced.I did a factory reset,no change.Also,I switched to various dishes.

Been many years since the micoHD was manufactured. I believe that the last batch was manufactured in 2012.

Version 2014-4-25 was the final microHD firmware release. This firmware was based on the 2013-6-26 with minor changes and satellite / transponder updates. I had released a beta version between these two files that was available to forum members. The 2014-4-25 firmware was available on the GEOSATpro website and also could be updated from G-19 satellite through 2015.

It appears that the GEOSATpro.com website is no longer active and the micoHD firmware is no longer streamed from G-19. Contact Satellite AV. They might be able to provide a fresh copy of 2014-4-25 for reloading. Maybe someone has an archived copy of the firmware or could send you a copy of their backup file. I discarded these files last year.

archibald I'm attaching a zipped copy of the last MicroHD firmware. It also has a .txt file included, that tells you how to flash it. Sometimes the one you have can get corrupted in some way, and re-flashing over the top will fix you up. You can unzip this with either Winzip, or 7-Zip.

Good luck.

**P.S. Do NOT EVER delete a satellite on the MicroHD without FIRST deleting all channels scanned on that satellite! IF you do, the receiver will go into boot-loop mode, and you'll need a special TTL usb cable to restore it.**

P.P.S: Good info on Geosatpro's, good forum to sign up for: Login

In the Micro how do I ascertain in the menu whether the LNB is on or off.

 

[Corrado]

I just powered mine on for the first time in years. I don't see an LNBF power setting.
