Below are a couple of screen shots of some of the menus...also one of the known wifi antenna's working with mine...there are other's that work but this is the one I have working at present. Sorry about the picture quality...holding a camera steady is not one of my strong points.
Seems I may have a problem with the component connection on the flat tube...pictures above were kinda washed out so when I get a chance I'll post some better ones with the HDMI cable. Truth be known the flat screen had the problem right out of the box but just now discovered it by hooking up the component cables.
not to hijack but what is your receiver?
Prosat hd ..lol...good box with both world's..look it up
Looking forward to a review of this box. Thanks.Quote:

More pictures of the menus...again sorry about the images...guess I need to prop my arm on something to hold it still.
Download file to be loaded onto your pc…unzip and extract file to a location of your choice….(example deasktop). Load that file on to your usb drive…probably would be best to format the usb drive prior to loading the file onto the drive…that way the drive is clean and only has the one file to be loaded.
With the Prosat HD turned on go to the main menu…open the door on the front right side of the stb and access the usb port and insert your usb stick…should see…media inserted popup which means the stb has recognized the usb stick. Navigate the main menu and sub menus with the right, left, up and down arrow keys on the remote.
1. Main menu (Menu button on remote)
2. Select Utilites…then press (OK)button on the remote
3. Select Software Update
4. Select update (Green button on remote)
5. Select (highlight)your drive from the drop down list (Green button on the remote)
6. Select (highlight)the file to be loaded from the drop down list
7. Select update (Green button on the remote) the file should begin to load
8. After the file loads follow the promps on the screen and the stb should reboot
9. After reboot go into the main menu ...installation and select system information and you can check to make sure the file version is correct.
1. Insert usb stick into the ProsatHD…should see Media is inserted appear on the screen.
2. Push MENU on the remote then Utilities then Channel Data Manager.
3. Once in the Channel Data Manager menu you should see your usb stick or drive listed…make sure it is highlighted and push OK on the remote.
4. Should see Parent Directory show on the screen…then push green button on the remote to save Channel Data…should see Database backup on the screen.
5. After the Channel Data has been saved you should see it appear listed under < Parent Directory >
as example…system_20150726_010712.db.
6. Channel list has been saved.
1. Load Data Base File(db) on to usb stick or drive and insert into the ProsatHD…should see Media is inserted appear on the screen.
2. Hit MENU button on the remote and once in the main menu go to Utilities then Channel Data Manager.
3. Once in the Channel Data Manager you should see your usb stick or drive listed…make sure it is highlighted and push OK on the remote.
4. You should see the .db or channel list file under < Parent Directory> example: system_20150710_045678.db…make sure it is highlighted and push the red button on the remote to Load the file
5. Message should appear…Do you want to load the Database?...push the green button on the remote for Yes.
6. Should see a message…Loading followed by…The receiver will be restated.
7. Once the stb has rebooted the channel list should be loaded.
Seems leaving the stb on channel 239 while in standby mode keeps the epg nice and populated when you turn the stb back on.
Best and easiest way to set the weather option in the lower 48 is to just type in your zip code...if you choose to type in your location for the weather option make note on how the default is typed in...example: Dallas,TX,US. If you wish to go from Celsius to Fahrenheit just push the red (Unit) button while in the weather option. If you loose the weather info seems going into Menu/Settings/Other settings and in Power off-type choosing Deep standby mode will bring it back once you power off and back on...although this will basically clear the epg off...saves from unplugging the stb to reboot to get it back...of coarse rebooting by unplugging would clear the epg as well. Just make sure once you turn the stb back on you go back in and change from Deep standby to standby mode so the epg will populate. While in the Menu leaving it on Utilities and the weather option highlighted when you exit will keep it on that option when you go back in...saves navigating the menus.
On scanning in seems to be fairly fast...below are my results from my last scan...scan was done with network scan disabled:
129-548TV= 6 min.
119-594TV-142R= 6 min.
110-648TV=6 min.
So far I've not seen any issues with the picture and audio getting out of sync but I'll keep checking.
i don't get 500s and some others with dpp lnbs..hopefully next file will fix all this...
Noticed that is will show as disconnected when connected in the server list as well...no epg with DM which would be a plus as well...maybe they will address some issues with later updates.
abouttosnap thank you for your help with procedures they are very helpfull, would you have a procedure for iptv ( rocket ) for the prosat hd. thank you
I would if I could but mine did not come with the android kit...been looking and waiting for someone to get some in but haven't seen or heard anything so far. If I do get one sometime soon I'll try and post.
I noticed the link you posted for the receiver comes with the mag 254 kit. Have a Dreamlnink as of now but would like a box that does both. Have you found anyone that has the box running with iptv yet?
Yes works great .... On both
Will someone please post a tutorial on what is needed to setup the IPTV in this receiver, I am totally lost!
