[ViP3R]

hello Gents
I tough the pal mode issue was resolved and also included the NA satellite list, or maybe I miss understood the EB review on this box.
Vip3R -I try the first link and it won't let me see it, i guess I do not have enough privileges.
Regards.

Yes chewie the NA file does take care of that, if you load a new file your fine, but once a factory reset is done the box will go back to PAL, this is no problem to get back to NTSC now with the new plugins..

The first link is a special Raptor section for owners of the Raptor, so yes you will not see this.

In satellite search , Time Calibration options are Simple , OFF, Full

According to the manual, this setting only pertains to downloading the time table for a particular transponder. This setting is not much use to us in North America.

I don't know about the other Raptor owners but I am not impressed with it. I loaded the new firmware and still have all the issues I had with the original firmware the receiver had when purchased new. The Raptor still hangs up when deleting encrypted Service 1,2,3, ect channels, the AMI Access Channel # 1 on 107.3 W and the NUVO channel on 105.0 W still causes the receiver to hang up.

I do not get a signal for the transponder that contains the AMI Access Channel or the NUVO channels, so I do not have any information about these two channels. We need to get some sort fo information on these two channels and also see if the same problem is in the Anaconda on these two channels. Every bit of information about a problem helps identify it. Right now, about all I have is the Raptor hangs up on two channels that are on different satellites.
Upload your system fdu file (sys fdu) and let me look at it. Usually there is some detailed channel information in it.

Encrypted services 1,2,3 are hanging up where? What satellite and what transponder?
At one point. I had encrypted services hanging up on the PowerVU transponders that are on c band 121 West. I do not have this problem anymore so I assumed that it had been fixed for you also.
We have to supply some sort of information when we turn in these problems. There is not much of a chance of getting them fixed if we do not describe in detail what is happening.

Much has been written about how to get out of PAL. At this point in the game, I do not see PAL as much of an issue. There is a button on the remote that could be used to change from NTSC to PAL or Pal to NTSC but it is disabled. Having a remote button with this feature can cause problems because people push the button accidentally.

IMO, Everybody should store the system information in the receiver. This is easy to do and there is a menu to assist in doing this.
Getting out of Pal is real easy if you have system information stored in the receiver. All you have to do is in two easy steps.
(1) Press the down button on the remote, then press OK
(2) Press the left arrow button on the remote, then Press OK. Doing these two steps immediately after booting into PAL will reload your stored settings.

A couple more tips on getting out of PAL can be found in these two links:

Well I loaded this 57 update and rolled back to 29.

For me the big thing right off the bat was: I found that the wireless network no longer worked for me. When I went to Weather I would get a process failed no matter how many times I tried to connect to my AP before access. Everytime I tried the CNN or You Tube it would lock the box up.

Rolled back to 29 and everything works again.

I definitely have no issue with the NUVO and AMI channels or deleting pay services when I accidently scan with ALL checked instead of FTA by the way.

Couldn't stand the thought that I was not getting 57 to work so I tried again.

This time I took the wireless USB network transceiver out of the back USB port before loading the 57 ird file. This time I was able to get the wireless network to work just fine. So far so good.

You are right about one piece of advice, El Bandido.... I did need to step back from thinking how my AzBox was updated and managed compared to the Raptor!

Very Good!
I will look at it and see what it will tell me about those two channels.?'

What channels are hanging up when you try to delete them? What satellite and transponder are they on?

I have had trouble with all encrypted Service channels. This issue, on my receiver, is not exclusive to one particular satellite. It is mainly channels named SVC_1,2,3, ect Service with power-vu encryption. I scan several satelites using the "all channel" setting like 135.0W c-band, 133.0W c-band, 131.0W c-band, 127.0W c-band, 125.0W c-band, 121.0W c-band, 107.3W c-band, and 105.0W c-band. When deleting any of those SVC_ 1,2,3 ect Service channels on any of these satellites for some reason the receiver just locks up especially if you linger on one channel to long. Although that is not always case, if I go to Service List manager in the menu and select Delete Service and scroll down the channel list sometimes just when one of those channels is highlighted it will lock-up the receiver. I have learned to just delete the Tp instead of trying to delete channels individually if I know ther is nothing on those channels. But when you have a 4 channel mux like 3800/H/31250 @91.0W c-band with one channel active you can't delete the TP, you have to delete the channels one at a time.
I hope this helps you understand what is going on with my receiver.

Thanks,
