I seem to have read elsewhere that the AZbox does not handle HD transmissions with croma 4:2:2, only SD...so not able to handle all 4:2:2 transmissions. Anyone to confirm?
You need to set the HD Flag to clear HD channels in 4:2:2.
Click on the Menu button and then select add HD Flag and the image will come.
From a Spanish AZ forum [thanx to escu, translated using an online translator!]:
So, some HD formats are OK, only one isn't. Not bad for a Beta Stage box, I would have thought. Actually, quite promising!The machine was tested by my friend, reported their results
feeds on dvb-s and dvb-s2: l'azbox works correctly, there is no difference, that depends on the tuner that is fully dvb-s and s2
feed in dvb-s2 4:2:0 SD: ok
feed in dvb-s2 4:2:2 SD: ok
DVB-S2 feed in 1080i HD 4:2:0: ok
DVB-S2 feed in 1080i HD 4:2:2: ko
the negative test was carried out with the HD ELITE AZBOX this feed:

NSS 7 (22.0 ° W)

Sport - Golf
Masters HD (dvb/s2)
is thought that the problem depends on the chipset, a chipset Sigma, just as it is used for streaming digital media reader Popcorn Hour: The small Popcorn Hour is perfectly compatible with the video in SD and 4:2:2, in HD, only 720p format, but is not compatible with the 4:2:2 HD 1080i
I do not know if something has tested the same feed with different outcome
if the problem is real, I do not know if it can be solved with new firmware
If so go hassle and go with great difficulty that we were going well with this deco,, hope if anyone knows more of the item says something thanks
I trust in your words but I would like to ask you when I hunt a feed 422 dvbs2 HD. I'll be ready to inform you when I can get one and then please test it and inform us.
thank you
Please test this one>

It does 4:2:0 HD right now but future firmware could decode 4:2:2 so we just need to wait. Probably new Sigma driver or bug fixes with current code. At least we know developers are working on it.
thank you tinos we are in every forum!
It can open dvb-s2 4:2:2 feeds!! BUT...it seems to be hit and miss.
Some s2 4:2:2 feeds open but not others. The type of encoder used by the broadcaster has a bearing.
Hopefully, a fix will be issued.
This is very interesting - When can we really expect blind scan though to search for these 4.2.2 feeds ?
After all we've seen I think it's very unwise to say "when"... even when you do know it is coming...
So, I can only say: I have a complete confidence that eventually it will come...
One thing after the other, they will all come to the agenda...
The deadline is June/July for FW mark 1.
So far it's 0.9.x. Still Beta stage!!!
Do you know if the video output RGB will be released in this new firm?
What's this I read in the manual about no HD with component video is this the case ?
From what says in the last firmware (0.9.2032) release notes:
1) We have planned with this release launch fixes for RGB, 4.2.2. HD contents, HE-AAC audio, however for this we need switch completely SIGMA driver, at moment we need some more time to test this new driver carefully.
We are very hard to make it work correctly on next days.
Regards.
I have just ordered one of these...I guess it has a nornal satellite scan option ? Unlimited channels also as it is a linux ?
Hello All,
I am a big tennis fan and would buy this box, however I just need to confirm if anyone has been able to watch tennis dvb-s2 4:2:2 feeds? I am unsure whether I need to wait for a new release of software?
Can anyone advise?
