Because the 8000 doesn't have a blind scan (only pre-programmed coordinates in the scan feature), I had to use FTA List and Mike Kohl's list to locate some of the channels. I rely on the Yahoo backhaul group to locate backhauls, then program them in. I have located some (Cardinals baseball, ABC HD, CBS HD, NBC).
My satellite installer brought over his Coolsat 5000 Premium (when I was having a problem with the receiver Coolsat replaced for me) and I admired the 5000's the blind scan feature.
Mention was made above of slaving a unit with a blindscan feature to the 8000. How would I do that? (I have a C/KU system and use the 4DTV to switch satellites). A blindscan would be helpful for locating sports backhauls.
I think the comment @ people acquiring the 8000 or other HD receivers because they are hacking was uncalled for. I bought a Coolsat HD because I have an HD TV and think that there will be more HD FTA programming in the future. And, happily, some sports backhauls are in HD.
I commend the staff for identifying the two hackers you banned recently. You might not be lawyers, but your questioning was "dead on."
Maybe this is too many ideas in one note, but what does the "loop out" feature on the unit do?

Duchen -
I'm not sure how to answer your question.
You might be better served in the C-band section of the forum if you are complicating the question with a 4DTV.
One rule to consider is this.
Someone (some receiver) has to control the V/H selection at the LNB.
Any other receivers should probably have their "LNB Power" turned off.
That holds true regardless which way you connect the receivers.
As to the question of splitters, I don't much care for the whole concept.
And when you use them, don't you also generally want a "DC block(er)" to the receivers that don't power the LNB?
I think that's a safety feature, if someone accidentally screws up the receiver settings.
...or it might be an old concept from when receivers may not have been able to turn off their LNB power.
I'm just giving you more questions, not answers, but at least you'll know what you don't know.
...and as for the other matter, if you see a male under 30, sitting in a hot car, do you make any assumptions about his driving habits?
What if the same guy is parked in an old station wagon, or a stock '72 beetle?
Yea, some old guys have the hot cars, and maybe they drive better (or not).

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.

Simple, charming. Entire premise is quite silly but Cary Grant carries it across the line in good fashion.
