Now that I have thew ability to update my Coolsat 8000 I just updated it with version 2025
WOW!! Talk about night and day. And with a few others acquiring these pretty inexpensive recently maybe this can help
Comparisons with the new version versus the old (1440 I think it was). All are upgrades
1. the satellite list. Other than AMC21 its up to date with names! I actually see "Horizons 2" as the satellite for 74W and not "Galaxy 6" which hasnt been that for years. The new version has AMC instead of GE
2. The list goes from E to W...use to go W to E...ie it starts with 1.0 and then the next one etc..so for the normal sats it shows 72, 72.5, 74, 77, 79 etc in order
3. all the eastern satellites are gone. Use to have to delete like 20 satellites that were XXX.0 E. Dont need those
4. The 31 satellite limit is GONE! Use to have a limit of 31 satellites so if you were KU/DBS you actually ran out of slots. This is now gone. Now I might motorize it
5. When you manually scan after it logs the channel it goes to it. Previously it would go back to the manual scan option
6. Transponder list is semi-up-to-date
7. reservation (for timers) is on top of sort (was the other way around)
Sadly it still sorts the channels horribly with a lot of channel 0001 which proves this was a hacker special (since Dish channels would be 0100, 0101 etc they can sort by sid)
Other than that it looks like the same firmware. So this is an upgrade
I enclosed 3 things
-the loader. Its kinda weird as you have to run the program that shows "1" first, then "2" which loads the info. Then the loader itself
-clean. This allows you to "clean" the software. Actually it allows you to go backwards on software. Normally it wont
-the file
need a null modem cable. Anyone else notice any differences between the old software and the newer one?

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.
