"Thanks for the feedback on our "HD in the Making" sneak preview of Sunrise Earth. Perhaps I can help shed some light on the subject? Sorry, I couldn't resist...
Sunrise Earth is not only an original Discovery HD Theater production, but it's a new concept entirely. Each episode in the series will feature one setting, recorded from multiple angles in REAL TIME 1080i -- with a minimum number of edits in order to maximize the viewing experience. No narration, no music, just nature's ambient sounds in dynamic 5.1 stereo surround.
The "narrative" will be set around a singular event, the sunrise. The program is designed to make the audience feel as if they have assumed the role of a naturalist. You will be able to see what happens at the start of the day, in settings all over the United States. From California's National Parks, to the Florida beaches, to a fishing village in upstate Maine. Select scenes in each hour will offer brief insight via non-obtrusive lower thirds, to describe what you're seeing -- could be an animal, an insect, a type of flower, etc.
Sunrise Earth is designed to welcome you to a new day -- whether you're getting ready for work, exercising, or just reading the paper over a cup of coffee. Ultimately, we hope you enjoy watching the landscape unfold, the wildlife awaken and the day begin.
Sunrise Earth will premiere on Monday, September 27 (7am EST, 8am Pacific). The series will run Monday thru Friday. Then on Saturday and Sunday evenings at 7pm EST, select episodes will air. Enjoy a sunrise with dinner, or as a way to wind down after a long day!
Just a few of the episodes:
"Moose in the Morning" Baxter State Park, Maine
"Yellowstone Geysers" Old Faithful, Wyoming
"Gator Hole" Anhiga Pond, Everglade National Park, Florida
"Sea of Terns" Monomoy Nat'l Wildlife Refuge, Chattham, Mass.
"Vermont Balloons" Quechee Gorge, Vermont
"Sequoia Light" Yosemite Valley, California
"Milk Cows in the Morning" Billings Farm, Vermont
Thanks again for the feedback. We hope you enjoy it, and we look forward to hearing what you think of the series itself.
Best Regards,
Discovery HD Theater Programming"

Well, i posted on another forum of a problem i was having. The 12000 transponder on 101ku has their AC3 signal whacked out. Been like that for awhile. My high end Audio receiver has much more pronounced glitches because it resets the audio when the glitch comes through. It's so annoying that i cannot listen to it. I figured out that if i turn on AC3 down-mix for the channels on the transponder, the audio glitches are resolved within the satellite receiver and sends a clean AC3 signal to the audio receiver. Now, there are still glitches, but its not very noticeable and am able to listen without being annoyed.
The problem is, its a pain to remember, oh for this channel i need AC3 pass-thru off, and this on, and run through the remote commands to enable/disable. I want 99.9% of the channels to be AC3 down-mix OFF. Only for the channels on this transponder do i want it On. Remedy. I wrote a E2 plugin that is very user friendly that i set the default mode, and then add the channels that i want opposite the default value, and the satellite receiver automatically turns AC3 down-mix on/off. Of course, its smart enough to only change the setting if it needs to.

HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
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....

I'm new to Satelliteguys so let me give my perspective on Shaw TV reception from someone living in S. Indiana (about latitude 38.9). I have 4 800 series receivers (so all signals go through a multiswitch) and a 75 cm dish. I recently bought a signal meter, SATLINK WS-6933, but have been unable to measure a meaningful signal with it as the Quality Signal measures 0. Perhaps it's my meter settings or perhaps the incoming satellite signal is too weak. I believe it's the later. In any case, I typically measure the incoming signal by taking a Shaw box and a TV outside positioned next to the dish. If there are no adverse weather conditions, the typical signal level is 60 to 70 and EcbNo is 6.0 to 6.5. All strong enough to give me a decent picture. Below signal level 60, my picture starts fading in and out. On a bad weather day (rain, thunderstorms (not uncommon here), snow, etc.) the signal level typically drops below 60 thus no TV. My cable run for all TVs is about 100 yards from dish to TV and my signal loss seems to be minimal as I'll get similar readings at the dish and at the TV.
So, with that as background, I have 2 questions:
1. To boost the signal level, I'm considering replacing my dish for a larger dish, say 90 cm or 120 cm. I currently have an LNB, Shaw 75E-G1(T000409), so designed specifically to be used with a 75 cm dish. When I noticed my signal level decreasing, about 1 year ago, I replaced the LNB with a brand new one and saw no improvement in the signal level. Would this LNB still work with a larger dish? If so, are there any special adjustments that I would need to make in order to get it working? I know others have larger dishes, as one of the threads mentions someone in Denver with a 2.4m dish so there must be a way to make it work. Any advice on this would be appreciated.
2. To be sure my WS-6933 meter is set correctly, any advice on how to set all of the settings?
Sorry for the long post. Thanks in advance for all input.
