    Micro HD Antenna connector spins

    I love the Micro HD and I take it everywhere I go. (to the garage, and back to the house), but I think the practice of connecting it and disconnecting it multiple times has caused a problem. A few days ago the thing that sticks out the back that the antenna connects to started spinning and...

    GEOSATpro microHD Feature Request

    I would like to see the box that appears after a scan be made a little smaller, so that the results of the scan can be seen better. I sometimes do a blind scan to find out if the dish is pointed at anything or not, and then use Lyngsat or other information to identify what it is pointed at if...

    GEOSATpro The channel names on 139W?

    I did read in another thread that the channel tables on AMC8 are not standard compliant or something like that, so that's probably what I'm asking about. My Azbox will blind scan 139W and report with text channel names, but I obviously cannot listen to them with the Azbox. The Micro HD does a...

    GEOSATpro ON/OFF Reboot Looping

    I received the adapter cable today. I got the 3.50 model from China. With shipping it was 5 dollars. I also had to remove the black plastic blocks from the wires because they would not all fit into the 4 pin connector on the receiver. I spliced them to the CDROM cable that I tried to use...

    GEOSATpro ON/OFF Reboot Looping

    I tried a few different level converters but the program would not see them. All of the devices I tried to use are 9 pin serial, and I was connecting them to a USB to serial port adapter. I think that might be part of the problem I am having. I had the MicroHD powered up when I tried to...

    GEOSATpro Used microhd for $50 on CL.. why so cheap?

    Maybe the guy that owned it came back and made up with her. I think my ex-wife would have sold my 922 for 10 dollars if I didn't take it with me.

    GEOSATpro ON/OFF Reboot Looping

    Thanks for that information. I'm going to look at all of it, as soon as I finish kicking myself for forgetting to bid on the Thompson Saginaw 7822260 dish mover that sold for 51 dollars on ebay a few hours ago. I hope another satelliteguy bought it.

    GEOSATpro ON/OFF Reboot Looping

    Mine is rebooting after I did something with the editor. I thought I took the udf out of it, and I added some names to channels and tried to send the file back to the receiver, and I did something wrong. I ordered the cable to fix it today. I really like that little box and I'll miss it until...

    Blind scan finds transponders but shows 0 channels

    Something I noticed is that sometimes the Azbox will indicate that it found new transponders, but at the end of the scan it shows 0 channels found. I was saying NO when it asked if I really wanted to save channels because there weren't any. I noticed if I tell it to save anyway it saves the...

    Getting started

    I'm still a beginner after a few years with FTA but I would say that once you get started, you're really going to want a motor, so you might as well set it up that way from the beginning, (and start thinking about where you're going to put the big dish someday).

    azbox stuck at 5%

    Well, tonight I tried to downgrade the firmware via wireless and it worked 100%, sort of. The firmware fully downloaded and appeared to go through the whole procedure, but the Azbox got stuck after the firmware change and wouldn't start up. I tried to recover it using the USB stick that I...

    azbox stuck at 5%

    I was never able to change firmware on mine via wireless or wired internet connections. It would go to 28% and quit. I used a memory stick and it worked the first time.

    Azbox Premium Plus Power Supply Internal Hard Drive

    I think it's the power supply I had a recommended WD drive in my Azbox and two power supplies quit working after very little use. The dealer sent me a third power supply that had been repaired, and it has been working ever since.

    power supply for azbox premium?

    Does anyone know what has been failing in the power supplies? I've seen the factory instructions for changing the bridge rectifier, and a report that one person did it and the fuse still blew. I took one of mine that failed apart and the regulator seems to test ok. It has a 11N760C3 mosfet in...

    My Axbox died, but questions remain

    By skew I assume you mean turning the LNB? I have a motor so the LNB is set to 0, so if I would have to turn it some for 103W, which way should I turn it if I am facing the dish? Also I sent an email this morning to Rick about the power supply and a few hours later he notified me that he...

    My Axbox died, but questions remain

    Is the green LED on the front panel an automatic HD indicator, or is it just a flag that can be set by the user? I found in one of the channel edit programs where the LED can be set to turn on for a channel, but will it also detect an HD channel and turn on to indicate? I wasn't able to...
