When you go with the multi-room setup, each receiver has its own private view of whatever satellites you have setup. While your receiver can only tune one satellite at a time, unless it has dual tuners as Lak7 mentions, the receiver can switch between multiple dishes / satellite locations easily and automatically.

Check the switching post in the FAQ. There are pretty detailed diagrams of different switching scenarios.

If you have a multi-room capable Glorystar setup and are using a 4 port DiSEQc switch for 97/101 access you can easily add two more satellite locations. You could go with a 123/129 dish, or a 123 dish plus a 3rd dish pointing somewhere else completely. As long as you use dual output LNBFs they can be shared between multiple receivers.

Your two receivers, each with a 4x1 DiSEQc switch, would be able to independently switch between all 4 locations, one at a time, and record or watch programming.

Bear in mind that a two tuner unit needs to be considered as two receivers from cabling perspective. It will take up both ports of a dual output LNBF setup. If you want to go from only 2 receivers to 3 or more you will need a multiswitch setup, which is also listed over in the switching section.

Also some PVR receivers can watch another channel on the same transponder as one that you are recording. I don't know if the Glorystar PVR can do this or not.

thanks LaK7 and Gillham
This is what i hoped to know. ill have to find out exactly what the new GloryStar Multi-Room system will consist of and go from there. I Will hold off until i have a bit better of an understanding of all or more of the options out there. ive learned there is alot of possibilitys and Yes i am reading all i can here.
this also helped ALOT " As long as you use dual output LNBFs they can be shared between multiple receivers.

THANKS EVEYONE!

Thank You LaK7 and Gillham.
this was really a helpful. ill have to find out from GloryStar Exactly what the Multi-Room System will consist of,and go from there. ill have to also chill out on my hurry to just order and learn all i can as there seems to be WAY more options than i figured. i am reading all i can, and apriciate all the help from Everyone!!! this was a real insightful: "As long as you use dual output LNBFs they can be shared between multiple receivers.

it just might be nice and warm out here in michigan by yhe time i figure it out.
THANKS EVERYONE

The GEOSATpro DVR1100c is capable of viewing any channel on the same transponder.

Clipped from my PM to you yesterday

....... Order a Glorystar system and add a 2nd dish, LNBF, DiSEqC switch and a motor. Run a single cable to the motor, then to the DiSEqC switch. Connect Glorystar LNBF #1 to the DiSEqC switch port #1, Glorystar LNBF #2 to DiSEqC port #2 and the 2nd dish LNBF to DiSEqC port #3........

A dual system can work the same way but with two four port DiSEqC switches each feeding one receiver.

Order a two room Glorystar system and add a 2nd dish, dual output LNBF, 2 DiSEqC switches and optional motor. If using a motor, choose which receiver will control the motor the run a single cable to the motor, then to the DiSEqC switch. Connect Glorystar LNBF #1 to the DiSEqC switch port #1, Glorystar LNBF #2 to DiSEqC port #2 and the 2nd dish LNBF to DiSEqC port #3. Run a line from the second receiver to the DiSEqC switch. Connect Glorystar LNBF #1 to the DiSEqC switch port #1, Glorystar LNBF #2 to DiSEqC port #2 and the 2nd dish LNBF to DiSEqC port #3.

The primary receiver will control the motor and have access to signals from any satellite selected and targeted with the motor plus the two satellites serving Glorystar channels. The second receiver would have access to the two satellites serving the Glorystar channels plus any channels that are on the satellite that has been selected by the primary receiver.

Motorized dishes are great for single receiver systems, but can introduce some complexity for members of the house who are not hobbyist and just want to watch any available channel at anytime without affecting other viewers wishing to view a channel that is only available on one of the motorized satellite positions. (WHEW what a mouthful!)

I kindly want to thank GloryStar

Thank You GloryStar for the help :)

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.
