I got two new STB's and have tried both units on C-Band AMC-3. So far i am having better luck with the Openbox S-9 HD in pulling in the DBV-S2 8psk channels. I also got an Azbox Ultra and could not pull in the same channels. The threshold must be higher on the AZbox because the Openbox seemed to scan the channels and they are popping right up. The 4080 Freqs are the ones that i am receiving, still having issues with the ones at 3800. My antenna still probably needs some peaking.
 
How big is your dish? I have read that some of the S2 signals demand a big strong signal. If tweaking should fail, maybe a bigger dish is what is needed. Let us hear how it works out.
 
Yes Ice is correct it is an 11 foot alum dish..and i will be peaking it a bit when i can..we have rotten weather right now. But at least i am getting to watch the channel that i've been trying to get. The New Me-tv is great and adding the RTV's there is alot to watch if you are like me and love the older stuff.
