The only complaint I have with my MicroHD is that it will respond to many of the IR signals from the remote for our 50" Toshiba LCD HDTV. I put the MicroHD down at floor level in the TV cabinet, and we aim high for the TV, low for the MicroHD. Other than that, we love the MicroHD. It never...

Rescanned 99w C-band last night. Lesea6 on 4000H is now KWHE Honolulu. Pretty good channel line up during Pacific time zone prime time acording to TitanTV. Enjoyed the original Hawaii Five-O last night on KWHE.

For the last month or so, we will occasionally lose one of these three channels on the 3740V transponder of 103w C-band: Metv1 Metv2, and Thistv. When I look at the detailed channel info, the PIDs numbers will be changed to nonsense values. After I edit them to the correct values, or simply...

I stumbled onto a pretty good show on The Weather Channel last night: Weather channel ice pilots It will run every Monday evening according to their website info.

Has anyone found a firmware load for these boxes that will not freeze up every few minutes on some SD channels, notably KCWY and WVGN on 99w C-band, and the SD ION and Qubo channels on 103w C-band? I just spent several hours re-engineering my C-band setup to get 103w, only to discover the S10...

Review of the OpenBox S10 FTA HD satellite receiver. 11-12-2011 My receiver was purchased from the ebay seller shop4fta for $99.99 delivered. I got the receiver, remote with batteries, an HDMI cable, and a set of RCA type cables. It arrived with a European satellite list installed. The seller...

I know that Diseqc 1.1 must be enabled, but what do I choose from the huge list offered in the Diseqc 1.1 menu? I find the menu system of the S10 to be more confusing than my old Neusat SP6000, and I didn't think that was possible.

This is a test and review of the GEOSATpro 90cm dish from SatelliteAV. The dish arrived via Fedex very well packaged in a heavy cardboard box with custom fitted cardboard inserts. Sturdy, and all recyclable materials. The instructions are detailed and complete, taking up both sides of a...

This is a review of the WSI ESX521 Ku Standard LNBF, comparing it to the DMSI JSC321s Standard Ku LNBF. Both are considered hot performers in the Ku LNBF market at this time: June 2011. Both claim a noise figure of 0.2dB. The ESX521 has a conversion gain rating of 70-75dB, while the JSC321s...

If I connect my cheap "SF-95" signal beeper out at my dish next to the LNB, then go in the house to the receiver and select a certain transponder and polarity on that satellite, will the LNB only pass signal from the selected transponder down the line through the signal beeper, or will the...

This is a review and test of the WSI 7630 75cm Ku dish, comparing it to the Winegard DS-2076 76cm Ku dish. The WSI measures 75cm x 81cm. The Winegard measures 76cm x 83cm. Packaging: Very good. Sturdy double-wall cardboard box with form-fitting styrofoam insert. Instructions: Fair. Exploded...

A couple of weeks a go I posted a link to the yoijatech web site which at that time I thought was THE manufacturer of the popular Openbox family of receivers. I thought I was doing a good thing, but it wasn't, as the "new" American version of their firmware at the site turned out to be warmed...

Get it here, and yes there is an American market version. Download / Software Download_Shenzhen Yojia Technology Co., Ltd. I am waiting until some of their software issues are corrected before buying one of these, so let us know how this latest version works out.

I have been wanting a small portable ATSC/Digital TV for some time now to use when setting up sat dishes in the field and for DTV signal finding/evaluation. Finally found a good deal on one that is highly rated, and has audio/video input. Eviant T7 at a local Sears store. From searching on...

I am considering purchasing of one of these receivers, and found the web site for a factory in China that builds them. They have their latest factory firmware for the North American market available for download. Product / DVB-S Receiver_Shenzhen Yojia Technology Co., Ltd. Interesting site...

Iceberg, you are a bad influence on me ;) http://www.satelliteguys.us/c-band-satellite-discussion/147673-2-c-band-lnbs-6-foot.html After studying the informative post linked to above, I tried it myself on my ten foot Winegard mesh dish. I am getting 91w on the primary LNB and 99w on the...

Quite a bit, actually, and there are plenty of old Dish500s to be scrounged very cheap or free. My testing indicates that any Ku band linear signal with an EIRP of 48 or above can be tuned in reliably with this setup. Incidentally, that agrees with the recommended dish sizes for different EIRPs...
