Hello, I see a dealer on eBay is selling the Geosatpro 36" dish with 2 LNBs at 4-degree offset, to get two satellites 4 degrees apart at the same time. I'd love to get SES-3 (NBC) and G16 (CBS_Newspath) on this dish, but my question is... Given that I don't think the Geosatpro is an oval dish...

Hello, as of today I am the proud owner of FIVE blown AZBox power supplies. Yes, the fuse is blown in the newest one, but it smells "burnt" so I doubt replacing the fuse would solve the problem (it never has before, for me). I notice on Amazon you can buy a 12V 5A supply and a separate 24V 1A...

Hello, I finally upgraded my computer to -S2 with the Prof S2-7301 card and I installed the DVBdream software included in my Win XP dual-core computer. I'm having a little trouble with the scheduler: especially if the software is running minimized (but maybe even if not), the program freezes...

I've been getting NBC on AMC18, 3780Mhz,30000,5/6,Pilot=on, on four different receivers. (I use 2 or 3 at the same time to mix the audio). But starting this week, two receivers, my Pansat 9200 with the original 8PSK card, and my Dreambox 800, are showing 0/0 - no signal, no quality, on this...

Hello, I was trying to install an old Twinhan VP1020a card in a new computer, but when I tried to go to their website to download a driver, www.twinhan.com, it doesn't seem to be there! Maybe this is a temporary problem but if anyone could help with a driver I'd appreciate it. I checked some of...

Hello,Sorry if this has already been covered, but, I've heard there is a problem getting stereo audio from the analog RCA output jacks on some AZbox models.My question is, if you have an AZbox, and you're SURE you're getting stereo from the RCA outputs, could you possibly tell us which AZbox...

NASA TV on AMC-3 (C-band) is now offering a 24/7 high-def channel. Currently testing, this channel goes official on Monday. Right now, Video File, This Week at NASA, and Gallery (Apollo Moon landing movies, and a reel of planet/Moon images) are being broadcast in HD, and by Monday, I'm...

Hey, does anyone who's upgraded to an AZbox have a QualiTV they aren't using anymore? I'm interested in watching the NASA engineering feeds on AMC-3: 3885MHz s/r 4340 3876MHz s/r 8680 (both usually 4:2:2) Since I'm not too interested, the price would have to be pretty reasonable ;-) thanks...

Has anyone tried the Dreambox DM800 for DVB-S2 channels such as NBC? Also, I notice many websites selling this unit are based in China. Since Dreambox is a German company, does this mean the Chinese companies are selling clones? (probably) So how good are the clones these days? There is a...

Does anyone know if the PBS-HD feed carries Austin City Limits, and if so, what time? thanks --Gary

Hello, I was wondering if there was any place in the U.S. to buy the Vantage HD1100S other than Rick's... Also, has anyone used the analog, SD outputs on this unit for HD signals? Any problems doing this? Clearly, the Coolsat has analog interference on the analogs when DVB-S2 is received, the...

Hello, I wanted to give the Coolsat 8000/8100 one more try on DVB-S2, but when I found them in short supply at dealers (what's with all the Yahoo links for Coolsat being hijacked by a Canadian FTA dealer that doesn't sell Coolsat?), I decided to buy a used one from someone local. (Big mistake?)...

Hi, I'm trying to get AMC-1 Ku DVB-S2 (12000/30000/ 5/6 / pilot on). I've tried the Galaxy Marketing 36" dish (WS9036) but the signal seems a bit weak. One odd thing happened when I was trying to tune it in. I have a great satellite signal meter (analog meter) that recognizes most...

Hello, I have an HR-20 with 2 BBC's that's been working fine until this week. Suddenly, it doesn't seem to get the HD channels on input 1. Input 2 is still fine. I thought maybe one of the BBCs was shot but I tried reversing them (reversed the inputs at the receiver but left the same dish...

Has anyone seen Dishnet's new Earthcam? Apparently there is a cheap camera on Echostar 11 showing 24 hour/day views of the west cost of the Americas. Does anyone know if this channel is available FTA and if so, the coordinates? (If scrambled - DON'T TELL ME where it is!) thanks --Gary

Anyone tried the Viewsat Max HD (or Viewsat 9000) on the NBC DVB-S2 8PSK feeds? (C band or Ku band?) Any luck? Anyone found another receiver that works well on these feeds? For the record, I've tried the Pansat 9200HD and the Coolsat 9100 and the results are 'mixed' - to put it politely. thank...

Are there any free HD channels on Dish, such as a PPV Movie Preview channel, that could be used to test Turbo-Coded 8PSK reception? If so, what are the specs for this channel? (P.s. this is NOT a hacking question, I only want to know about channels that could be received with stock FTA...

Hello, Aside from trying to steal dish network HD (which no one on this forum should do), what can you get with the consumer-grade 8PSK tuner board for a FTA receiver? thank you, --Gary
