gt combo

Sound bad on most western arc satellites,
doesn't do biss very good and when it does it is garbled sound
I have the latest update and it doesn't work till a factory reset is performed.

this is what I have found and the box is unusuable on most sats to the west of 101.
the other gt boxes work very well except for the v7s5x which is worse than the gtcombo. I love my v8x and v8nova and v7hd 2nd gen and v7hd 1 gen.

You need to go slow. Do you have GTCombo or GTX Combo?? Garbled Sound problem mostly bug when loading firmware. Start all over again. Update the box to the latest firmware using the USB local update. Set your Time, configuration etc. Pick or Choose your satellites. Do the Antenna settings configurations and begin blindscan your sats one at the time

It may be that your motor dish is a little out at the west end of its arc.

The other boxes may have a better receiver and so do not drop sound.

Try poking the dish with a stick (there is always a little slack in the mounts) while it is on 101w and see if you get a better signal.

You can also move to 101w using USARLS, change to DiSEqC motor commands and use the fine tune there to move a little east / west to see if you get a better signal too.
If you do get a better signal, save it as a position in DiSEqC motor and leave that sat on DiSEqC motor.
