I have 3 tv's 2 HD 1 SD, currently I have the both hd sets hooked up to the vip622, the 2nd tv is upstairs feed with the sd out put from the vip622.
I have a 522 in another room.
I want to connect a new vip622 to the HD set upstairs and send back the 522 in the other room.
Then I want to run the set that currently has the 522 hooked up from the new 622 I'm putting on the 2nd hd set upstairs. Leaving the main hd set all by it's self :-).

What I need to know is- how do I trace the sat signal at the junction box in the garage (newer home- prewired) and reconnect the cable feeds to the appropriate sets with the config above? There are 4 diplexers in the house now running the current set up. I suppose I could call a tech and pay $100 but figured I could rearrange some wires and save some $$.

Thanks!

what about the diplexer on the current 622? that is feeding the current tv2 line that will be connected to the new 622. do I need to do anything with the current 622?
thanks again.

disconnect the tv2 backfeed from that diplexer and hook it to the other diplexer for the new 622. So you still will have 3 tv's total? 2 HD and 1 SD?

yep 3 tv's total. 2 hd running on 622's - 1 sd running on feed from the new 622.

Is the best way to check what line goes were is to just disco it from the splitter in the junc box and go check the tv to see if it is snowy? I don't think I need to get a line toner... right?

there is a 4th future feed going to another room that does not have a tv currently, will that need to be re-connected now? or does it matter..
WiCkeDuDe
You can connect the forth feed or not, does not matter. Tv2 output will go on whichever diplexer you choose for which 622. Put it on the vhf/uhf port.

Yeah just disconnect the line from the diplexor to the 622 or 522 and that will tell you which is which. It will try to acquire signal if not hookup. It really doesnt matter as they are both hooked up the same, you just can choose which one will feed tv2.

worked like a charm! saved me $100 on a truck roll.. thanks!

Don't know if any of you have watched this series yet, it would be interesting to see if you feel this review was accurate. It was very humorous to listen to however.

If the review is like the article, oi! Eighteen paragraphs into the review and... all they've done is not really talk at all about the actual thing they are reviewing.

Halfway into the "written" review, I know more about how the writer "thinks" than I do about what they are writing about. I understand their politics, their self-overestimated understanding of film, their inability to be funny.

Takes about 22 paragraphs to get to one that starts "Anyway, the story kicks off...". Talk about Slop! 😂

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'm sure I will watch at least the first episode but I am not optimistic.
Here i am over a year later and just finished season 1. Not great but not as bad as I was expecting. Did not care for the barefoot captain stuff but overall ok. Actually looking forward to see what they did for season 2.

Yeah, the foot stuff was just nasty. I kept thinking of how dirty her feet would get traipsing around shoe-less. Funny, I love being shoe less at home and never wear shoes indoors in my home for long, but seeing her laying on all her furniture with her bare feet hanging out just kind of grossed me out.

Where would this "dirt" come from? Dead skin and dandruff?

There would still be dirt ,dust in the future I am sure. So walking around the station like she did she would get stuff on her feet. I am sure the robot vacuum is still going to miss stuff, with all those different alien species running around there.

Where is it going to come from -- specifically?

Why do you think cleaning technology won't improve in the next few hundred years? HEPA filtration was invented as part of the Manhattan Project.

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. ;)

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.

Well, look at the way she sat in the Captain's Chair. I didn't say the show should have been called "Captain Chair-Whore" for nothing...

For a whole generation of adults it was in the 1960s and 1970s.

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....
