i have spent hrs on the phone with dish tech support trying to get this thing to work, my horse trailer came with a winegard crank up dish model RM DM46.we have done everything, i guess i will only be able to get the 119 or the 110 on at a time.so i found the 119 locked it in at 96% signal strength on my model 3000 receiver.check switch was showing 119 odd 119 even,went to the program guide seen all the programs.chose one to watch and it hade the name of the show at the top of the screen for a few seconds the n when it goes away the show should come on but all i see is a black screen.after hrs of not getting anywhere other than a black screen after picking something from the guide,i was thinking if i could change the lnb to a dish 500 lnb maybe it would worki understand it might not work but it isnt doing me any good looking at a black screen. anybody have any ideas.or maybe a new idea ive tried alot of them so far.thanks for any help

going to get a new receiver,see what happens

Is it every channel that you are getting the black screen on? If not what channels are they black on? A Dish 500 would not work on there because of not having the ability to skew the dish, try tuning it to 110 and looking at channels on there,

My honest opinion is to quit messing around with that winegard crank up dish. Call dish and set up a Dish mover with a receiver upgrade. Goto radio shack and get a tripod mount. Dish will come out and install a dish 500 on your tripod, and your new receiver. Then you won't have to keep messing with that winegard dish when you want to watch channels on the other satellite location. If you move the trailer to another location, you will just have to setup the tripod again. If the trailer is going to stay at the same camp ground all the time, just have dish install a pole mount and forget the tripod.

what kind of LNB is on the dish? It needs to be a legacy E* or direct TV LNB.

His switch test is showing ODD and EVEN, that means its a legacy LNB. DP switch results just refer to each satellite as ALL, unless a particular polarity failed, indicating a problem.

I would suggest the poster consult THE LIST here on this site at the tabs above and check that the channels coming in black are not on 110. If they are still coming up black on 119 channels, check the smart card. If this receiver is old and hasn't been in the system for a while, it might still have the original blue card which has since been replaced by yellow cards. If that's the case, have a CSR send a new card or better yet, a receiver. To be certain its a card issue, check channel 101 and also NASA channel at 213. If both are showing, then its likely the smart card issue I just mentioned or its something like firmware or authorization.

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 getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

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.

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.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

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.
