AZ Fox S2S

I tend to disagree!

So why do you disagree?

Not even related to AzBox.

Az Fox is a IKS box from the South American market that was produced to play off the popularity of the AzBox name in the theft of services game.

Unless it supports a USB or RS232 adapter, I don't even see an ethernet port on the Az Fox. Are you thinking of some of the goofy AZbox models like the Bravissimo and the Moozca?

Not confused about the model. I am very familiar with the product as it was offered to us for testing last year. These receivers have been sold in South America with IKS support for over a year.

Google: rs232, satellite, IKS, Az Fox.

RS232 satellite dongle IKS is much more popular in South America than Internet. Quite interesting reading!

Homer: Look at these low, low price on famous name-brand electronics!
Bart: Don't be a sap, Dad. These are just crappy knock-offs!
Homer: Pfft! I know a genuine Panaphonics when I see one! And look, there's Magnetbox and Sorny!

you gotta be freakin kidding me
the name and the logo are undoubtedly meant to mislead people
i would recommend spending your hard earned cash on something else.
and to answer the previous question about 4:2:2 support, its an ali3601 based stb, so, nope!!!

You'd use a longer pole?

Yup they are POS's. Thats why they were dumping them so cheap.

Just being a smartass but,your buying a new C band dish for 70 bucks and you expect it to not be a POS?

Get another remote like that and you might be able to start a conga line.

No disrespect to any site members who are associated w/ WSI here but I wouldnt touch any of their products with a 30 foot pole.

Cheers, K

OK so I've got some WSI DMX LNBFs that have been good to go, and, I will buy another to replace one that got zapped recently by a storm. But that's not WSI's fault. I've had good service from those LNBFs and they deliver about the same quality on both my BIG DISH systems as the Chaparrals did at a fraction of the cost?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I have to agree my WSI c/ku has served me well.

So I blind scan in 91C. Go to watch reelz video but no audio hum check settings try different hdmi cable no audio. I then hook analog LR still nothing at this point I'm think it's must not do DD so I go to arts and bam audio. This is off to great start.

 

[Mr Tony]

it has to do dolby digital. Alot (maybe all) of the S2 has dolby digital audio.

Per the specs you posted in post 1
Audio Decoding MPEG-1 Layer 1 & 2, Dolby Downmix

check in the menus to see if there is anything

wait a minute...scratch that. Notice the SPDIF output on the picture? Maybe it doesnt decode it internally. I remember thew Sathawk originally didnt do that either (software late on added that option where it was decoded internally)

Yup that's what's going on here to.

When I connect to my denon sound works on DD ch's. (Have to switch to BS Out on digital audio out under TV System in menu)
