I currently have my 722k hooked up via phone. But I see a LAN input on the back. What is that used for???

Can I hook it up to the LAN and remove the phone cable? Is there anything I have to do to tell it that I'm hooked to the LAN, or does it just figure it out on it's own?

Are there any benefits of hooking to the LAN vs. phone?

The ethernet port is one of two ways to connect to the internet. The other is via built in PowerPlug - is that the right name for it? where it can connect through your house wiring. Advantages of internet hook up are access to the large library of downloadable programs including 1080p sources. The only way to get 1080p sources is via the internet. And the biggie for me is the ability to program your DVR from a computer. Only advantage of phone line is CID, but since it is a DVR you will probably watch most of programs off the hard drive and CID info gets hard coded over top of recordings. That is, when viewing recorded sources you will receive CID information that happened when the program was recording.

I have no phone line but I do have my LAN plugged in. Without phone line, you can't view or pay bill via your box and you can't participate in tournaments or interact with other players with DishGames or PlayinTV or things like that. I wish (like DirecTV does) that the LAN would completely remove any use of having a phone line plugged in.

The CID info isn't hardcoded and you will not see CID that happened when the program was recorded.

I agree you do not see info on calls that took place whilea program is recorded. that would be annoying.

kvnfl,

No, if you have the Phone Line plugged in and you get a phone call when your DVR is recording something the CID pop up will NOT be recorded to your DVR event. The only way you will get the CID recorded to a recording is if you are archiving an event to another medium (ie DVD, VCR, Computer) when the Popup occurs.

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.

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.
