I am still getting my fta education here at satelliteguys and some questions have come up.
1. I use old dishnetwork linear bandstacked lnbfs for my set up. (because I have dozens of them)
2. Blind scanning screws the channel list up by adding the channels twice.
Question:
1. During a blind scan does it only scan the transponders in the transponder list?
2. If so is there a way to update the transponder list?
3. Because of my peculiar setup(DN lin bandstacked) does it miss scanning horizontal transponders because of the way they are set up in my coolsat?

Thanks for the kind words Sadoun...really appreciate it 
Sometimes I feel I gain a fact lose a fact...I know the LNB LO for a bandstacked KU LNB but I forget what day it is sometimes
I think that's what a fair amount of us like to do. Help people out. As I've mentioned before we were all newbies once so instead of attacking a newbie we like to help out (like a family)...
plus its always fun to try new things and just weird ideas. As I've noticed "it wont work" usually means we have to try it to see if maybe it will work. I already have "cabin fever" with the FTA system...got some ideas but with cold & snow already (not to mention sundown at 4:30) its hard to get stuff done.
But I do have to laugh. Tonite my mom came over and she saw the C-Band dish in the garage and said" so when do you haul that dish out?"(she knows of my "addiction")
is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Honestly....reading and absorbing the info
When I got FTA 5 years ago (Dec 03) I was green as grass. All I knew is the ExpressVu audio & Radio stations were in the clear (at the time) and I wanted to save a few bucks on my ExpressVu bill. So I got a Viacast 2000 receiver and hooked it up to my ExpressVu dish.
Then I got a 30" dish and an old (when they were linear) ExpressVu LNB and that really opened my eyes to FTA. Kinda cool to see the things that were out there. Got a 2nd dish and a receiver that had something called BLIND SCAN...That Pansat 1500 cost me 200 bucks in April 04 and added a motor right after. That combo (motor/dish/Pansat 1500) lasted me a good year and 1/2 until I upgraded to the Coolsat 5000. Other than trying 1/2 dozen LNB's the motorized system is still going strong and still the original setup. Still have both the Pansat (used to aim the dishes) and the Viacast.
I just like to read satellite stuff. Especially old info. I am fascinated by the old C-Band charts and what was out there 20, 10 even 5 years ago. I always like to see projects folks do because they are really cool. I like to try different things and just like to help folks out

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.

Yup, I agree, I'd rather be 2 or 3 till the last few weeks.They get cruel sometimes, very very cruel.
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 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.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI 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.

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.

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....
