I bought several items from an ex-installer last week, and this is one of the items that I am selling.

The installer bought this unit new, and it shows a manufacturing date of 6-6-2003, but it is like new. He only used it once for a data transmission setup and put it on the shelf in his closet. The reason I know his story is true is because all the cables were still in the original sealed plastic bags when I got it.

I flashed the firmware to the latest version and put a brand new quality battery in it. I have used it about 4 times in the past week just to get a feel for how it works. There isn't a scratch on it anywhere and it works flawlessly.

Here are the pictures I just took of the unit which includes everything it came with including the Nylon carrying case for it and and the cables. I even made up a 12' RG-6 cable with a quality BNC connector for the end that connects to the instrument.

If you are looking for a Professional Instrument and are serious about hunting for feeds or precision installations, this is the unit you want.

I'm asking $625.00 shipped to anywhere in the Continental US. I will take Paypal or Visa or Mastercard credit card direct.

PM me if interested. The description and specifications are below.

The Satlook Digital is a Swedish made Sat-TV Instrument and Spectrum-Analyzer. The unit is made for exact alignment and adjustment of Satellite Dishes. It is intended for professional use when high accuracy and precise information are needed.

It's easily operated without a lot of unnecessary buttons and knobs. The basic functions are easy to get a hold on and takes only minutes to learn. This instrument is provided with a 4.5" B/W-monitor which either shows normal Sat-TV channel, the frequency spectrum 920-2150 MHz (or parts thereof) alt. Digital data. Menus/help-displays are shown on the LCD-screen (64x128) beside the monitor.

Analog Sat-TV channels can be tuned in and viewed upon (Multistandard Video PAL, NTSC and SECAM). Audio frequencies between 5.5-8.5 MHz can be listened to. The Spectrum can be extended (zoom in) for correct adjustment for the polarization ("cross-polarization"). The instrument has very high resolution and accuracy. It presents measured data _+2 dB (at around 20 C.)

SATLOOK Digital presents, under one of the sub menus. digital information like BER (bit error rate), constellation diagram (QPSK) and S/N (Signal/Noise Ratio). Satlook Digital can be handle a lot of memory-positions and both spectrum-pictures and certain frequencies can be saved (both analog and digital transponders).

The polarization of the LNB is switchable 13V/18V and Hi-Lo Band with 22 KHz-tone. The DISEQC-function controls all DISEQC-accessories (like switches, LNB's and actuators). The power of the instrument is supplies by a built in and rechargeable battery. Even though the instrument has lot of functions it is still very light and flexible.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.

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....

Has anyone noticed an FF stutter with 713? I used to be able to hit FF a few times and skip smoothly. After 713 (maybe 712), when I skip forward, there is a definite stutter for as many times as I have pressed FF.

Can anyone check on this and report back? Recorded programs and then press skip forward a few times to see if it's smooth? Normally, it just jumps to the right place after the skips.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Why are ViP922s So rare? like its crazy how ebay has none, i checked everywhere, also, i got a ViP222k now, which is actually activated!

I think they were more of a transitional receiver bridging the VIPs to the Hopper. They were a PITA to install and were buggy. Personally, I thought at the time that they were the best receiver out there. The versatility of the VIP's with the new Hopper GUI and, by far, the coolest-looking front plate and lighting.
AZ.

Well if it is because of reliability that wouldnt shock me.I went through 5 or 6 of them in little over 2 years. I loved the Sling when it worked! Saved lots of money having it in the day. That was probably 15 or 16 years ago?

I don't recall that they came out just before hopper, but rather that they came out even before 722. Or could be thinking of 921.

As to the title pf the post, "rare" does not necessarily mean valuable or desirable.

You are thinking of the 921. The 922 was the first DVR with Sling functionality built in (that was eventually disabled along with the Sling Adapter for the 722s and the 1st Hopper because they relied on now-defunct Adobe Flash technology). With the bugginess described by others and the removal of its marquee feature (Sling) the 922 faded into obscurity once the Hopper 2 with built in Sling was released and they finally made the concept into a fully functional product.
dishdude
I had one, the front panel lighting was cool, the menus were fresh and a lot more modern looking than the ViPs. However, it was very buggy and the Sling functionality just didn't work well - I think it was due to internet speeds at the time. I think I had to pay $40 for the Sling app on my phone iirc.
