My questions:
1. Is there a satelliteguys channel master project or something that has all of the transponders for all of the US viewable satellites?
2. Is such a project useful to anyone?
3. Is there a better way to scan (than blind scan) without having to create a tp list from lyngsat on my own (ie someone else has already done similar work)?
I've only been into FTA for about 1 year now and have learned quite a bit so far. I'm interested in feeds and typically when I blind scan it takes > 5 mins.
An alternative to blind scan on my receiver is tp scan, which scans all of the tps programmed into the receiver for that satellite and is much faster than the blind scan, however this means that I need a complete list of every tp available on every sat.
Another issue I have with blind scanning (aside from the time), is that I seem to get duplicate tps. They're only off by 1-2 on the frequency, but they list the same channels. I believe this is due to temperature of the LNB.
My idea was to find someone who had created a channel master project that included all of the transponder and satellites (visible to me) from lyngsat. Unfortunately the newest file I could find was from 2006.
For me it would be useful, so I can cut down on my scanning times, but this assumes lyngsat is a complete list of transponders. I was going to write a program that would extract the transponder data from lyngsat and put it in a channelmaster project file, but I noticed that some of the transponders on lyngsat lack the symbol rate (SR) field. On my receiver if I set the symbol rate to 0 it will not automatically determine the symbol rate during a tp scan, only during a blind scan, therefore I'd still have to do blind scans.
Are the missing symbol rates simply because they change on those transponders? Would it be "safe" to do a blind scan to find these symbol rates and then assume they will remain that way.

Using the list MIGHT ( but I doubt it) be faster, BUT it certainly wouldn't catch something not on the list, which is what blindscan is intended to do. I already blindscan probable satellites for feeds, but sometimes the feeds are on improbable birds, so sometimes I scan them , too.
ACRADIO has a huge dishfarm, maybe he could blindscan everything in the sky in relatively short time .(?) With about 40 dishes and 40 receivers, a guy could REALLY have a project .
My wife would kill me !

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....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

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.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
