Think maybe I should use this post as an excuse to buy a replacement C-band LNB.

Hyper seemed to have one of one left. Pansat PF-9600W.

Any other options or is that a stupid question with the supply chain issues?

Is it buy what you can now?

Recovery using RS232 would still be a daunting task for many even if the fta receiver wiring for RS232 was standardized. Setting up a RS232 connection on a Windows computer that does not have a RS232 connector such as a DB9 can be difficult. Most users will only worry about recovery using RS232 once the receiver is locked up. It is much easier to test file transfers from a home computer to fta receiver using RS232 with a working fta receiver instead of one that is locked up.

Most of the receivers that I own can be recovered from file errors by using the usb port. Simply reloading the image file or firmware files if something causes a boot-loop or no boot situation is all receivers that recover by usb need.

There are other receivers that will dump a bad file and reboot. The Octagon SX88 recovers by RS232, but it will usually dump a bad channel or satellite file and reload the default files instead of locking up.

To expand on this, here is some additional info on FTA equipment supply from my perspective as owner of HyperMegaSat.com

H-H Dish Motors for Ku Band  < these are in VERY short supply, at least in the USA. We have less than 24 in stock at HyperMegaSat.com. No current plans to get anymore in stock anytime soon.
Satellite Dish for Ku band  < these i think WILL BE in VERY short supply very soon, if not now.

These are the things you need not worry about running out of supply anytime soon, we have PLENTY of this stuff in stock at HyperMegaSat.com

Ku Band Dish LNBFs
DiSEqC Switchs
22K Switchs
8x1 Switchs
3x4 Switchs
Ground Blocks
RG6 Connectors
Connector Compression Tools
LNB Brackets
some Remote Controls (Amiko, Linkbox)

Things kind of "iffy", that i am concerned about. We have good stock, but not sure if we can restock at a reasonable price:

C Band Servo Motors
C Band LNBFs
8" Flat Coax Cables

Things we have in stock, that for sure will not be restocked due to supply/cost/availability/whatever

Remote Control for Manhattan RC-1978 (3 pcs)
Pansat/Linkbox U-50 UHF Remote Control Kit (4 pcs)
Holland Electronics Diplexer Model STVC (10 pcs)

Yes, that is correct!

Go to the link for our eBay store:

https://www.ebay.com/str/hypermegasat


Once there scroll down to see the different items we have, and there are pages and pages!

Or, search our eBay store (this will search only the HyperMegaSat eBay store, not all of eBay)

See pic #1, the big blue arrow is where you enter your search.

In this instance i searched Star Trek 4K

Click on the item  after the search results pop up

Now see pic #2, the big blue arrow shows where the coupon code is.


 

That makes too much sense, must not be profitable to do so .....
