    I do a bunch of recording with my S9s mostly on 127W now. There's some stuff there that both the Wife and I like. I will note that I do have some problems with the S9 and also the Micro HD occasionally locking up on REELZ?? Anyone else having this problem? Just saying..................

    What Happened to Everybody?

    Talking about system costs.......My 10ft Winegard system cost me $2200 installed in 1988. That was with a Von Wise mover that I still have and the Echostar 7K receiver which has been gone a while now. In 1995 I upgraded to a GI-920 which I still have but don't use. Still have a Pansat 3500...

    What Happened to Everybody?

    Huh, I retired in January of 2006 @ 60 years old and never looked back!! Bought my 10 ft Winegard system with an Echostar 7000 receiver in 1988. The lack of fair priced equipment is what's going to run me out of the hobby as lightning got me again this year and I now no longer have a spare...

    4156H Dark On 99W.

    Just went to this one to see what I got. My receiver has that TP at 4159 H 5790 and the Q on it is 69/72%. 4180 V 27500 on that bird is screaming @ 85%! Just saying.................

    Lightning Strike Yesterday!!! OUCH!

    Yeah, I kinda figured it was something similar to that. I was seated within 8ft of the carnage playing a video game on my computer so it's a wonder that I didn't get lit up. That computer locked up and I had to cut power then reboot and it did come back missing a PCI local network adapter...

    Lightning Strike Yesterday!!! OUCH!

    As I mentioned in my last post.......I have those wires where I can disconnect them at the plug in installed when storms are around or predicted. Picture a male and female 4 pin plug with one side of it mounted in the Vbox and the other connected to the dish. Maybe I can post a pic if you...

    Lightning Strike Yesterday!!! OUCH!

    Well, the "smoke" has finally cleared and here are the final results. Parts lost, one 32" TV (not a smart TV), one FTA receiver, one Vbox 2 dish controller, one Gigaspire internet router, one Von Weise reed switch, one 8 port TP Link gigabyte network switch, two gigabit PCI network cards in...

    Lightning Strike Yesterday!!! OUCH!

    Well, it's been a few years since we got hit. After the last strike I reworked all the outside to inside dish and power connections (they were disconnected with no power on them when the lightning hit this time) and thinking nothing would happen?? About 5:30 EDT yesterday one main lightning...

    New Satellite @ 127W?

    Thanks Keith. What we watch on that bird is C band and that's about the same info I found but I was wondering if someone else with more experience than me had different info than what I found. Oh well.................. Just saying...................

    New Satellite @ 127W?

    Found some info that says there is a NEW satellite headed for 127W? Anyone have any more info on when it will go in service? We watch one channel there that I record and play back later. Was using my old S9 receivers but they kept locking up during the recording so I had to start recording...

    The Blacklist

    Well, it's been two weeks since I asked for some help acquiring these last two episodes to finish out my set and no one has offered to help me out? Ok, I gotcha! :-( And I'm done!

    The Blacklist

    Yep, thanks but we've already seen that they were available streaming. I was hoping that someone had them so I could make my collection complete is all. Right now I've got over 345GB of The Blacklist episodes on two 4TB backup drives and they are still 2.4GB short of a complete set! I'll wait...

    The Blacklist

    Well, the final 2 episodes of the 10 season run of “The Blacklist” will air tonight. I’ve watched the career of James Spader develop since I first saw him on “The Practice 1997, which lead him into “Boston Legal” then to “The Blacklist”. Just like every series there’s been good shows...

    Openbox 30sec "JUMP" Forward/Back Playback Function in Openbox S9 receivers??

    Old? Like as in C.R.S! Yeah, @77 I have my share of that! No, haven't tried the Micro HD remote on the S9 but I do remember there being some link there. Will do that some time later today after I get back home from another Dr appointment. :-( I found my S9 manual here in the shop, BUT, the...

    Openbox 30sec "JUMP" Forward/Back Playback Function in Openbox S9 receivers??

    Went and looked it up in the manuals section, BUT, the PREV/NEXT key that it says to use DOES NOT exist on my S9 remotes?? Another WTF moment I guess. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to continue to use the Micro HDs for playback until I wear them out.

    Openbox 30sec "JUMP" Forward/Back Playback Function in Openbox S9 receivers??

    Hey I just noticed that I put "S10" in that last line??? WTF was I thinking? :rolleyes: Yep I've got 2 Open box S9s, not S10s! Sorry!

    Openbox 30sec "JUMP" Forward/Back Playback Function in Openbox S9 receivers??

    Well, I'm sure this has probably been discussed in the past at some point but @ 77 years old I can't remember? My Micro HD receivers HAVE this function and I LOVE IT!! I've noticed that my S9 receivers show this function in the "PVR Setting" menu called "Jump" and like the MIcro HD it gives...

    Issues With 4156H 5790 ?

    99W, that's the Caribbean mux location. And JFOK some older receivers have major problems with those channels and have now for a year or more. Neither my S9 nor my Micro HD will play that video. Try changing the TP to 4159 and see if that will work better for ya. Oh, and there's already...
