Thanks Ralph; I need to get someone to go to the NEX/PB/BX and buy me a couple of new decoders; that is the answer. They can MPS them to me for free, even from Europe to Asia. I'm not spun up on C-band sats; 10 years ago I set up a few c band dishes but now with ku availability, there is no...

Earlier today, I wrote a long reply to you only to see it wasn’t saved; not sure why but I will try to remember and retype it here. For the record, I am a authorized user of AFN but like most of my friend, refuse to rent decoders from AAFES when they sell them in Europe! Even though they cut...

Thanks Ralph, The pwr supply problem is with it clicking and never provding correct voltages. It would click for a while, then evetually start working. As it was going bad, the clicking would last longer, evetually not ever powering up. I picked up a couple of other units that were being...

Thanks. I thought I saw him in a post that was only a couple of weeks ago. I am learning a lot about these AFN decoders. I aquired a few of them the past year but most are not able to be activated and are only used as spare parts. If I can get some old ISE chips from broken units, then I am...

I know this is an old post but do you happen to still have the broken decoder around? I am interested in the ISE chip. Thank you. TJ

Not true; I got two authroized via the internet and selected (bought from an authorized member). I did not need to tell them where is was from nor if it was from AAFES or not; in fact, we can't buy them from AAFES, only rent them. Oh; I bought both from on on-line paper and had them mailed from...

Ralph; I am new to this website and came across it when doing a search for AFN decoder info. I am an authroized user but unlike where we can buy decoders at AAFES, in Asia we have to rent them. Even though they cut the rental fees in half, they charge so much that we can buy one every two...
