Acebox dvb-s2 receiver

[rrob311]

Since I am temporarily running my Eagle Aspen B1SAT bandstacked LNBF I decided to try it out on the Acebox. I ran a blind scan using the 5150/5750 setting and it scanned in the transponders properly. No double scanning. This is a big plus because a lot of receivers don't work properly with these.

Out of all the 40$ receivers I have tested, this one is the King. It has been very reliable for me. The fact that it works properly with my bandstacked lnb is an added bonus.

It is a good receiver. They pulled them from amazon not long after I/we bought these. I wonder what happened? There is a new firmware out 8/26/14 I think. Seems fine. I still cant get samba to work. If it will....then I'd love the box to death.
can you try samba and see if you can get it to work? You are still running izibox software right?
One other thing...can you FW or PM me the email they sent you about the resistor to replace or bypass or something ....for the reboot issue with usals...happens every once in a whule to me...if easy enough I'll replace it. Thanks !!!!!!

Info about samba at top.

I am running the izi firmware still. Haven't found anything else. Here is a copy of the amazon message:

The manufacture said, the receiver's output current for the motor is 350mA. Your
motor may be 500mA or more. It can not provide more current and drop down the
power, cause the receiver reboot.
To resolve the problem,
1. change a stronger power board inside the receiver (DIY).
2. Use a relay to control the motor.

If you need any information to dIY the receiver, please feel free to contact me.
