Ok, yeah it's me again.
I have a SonicView receiver, I have been thinking of getting an HD receiver, I had a Pansat SD receiver and I liked it, wish I would have replaced it with another one rather then the SonicView, the SV is a good receiver, but I miss the UHF remote
I know there are going to be a lot of opinions on this but I am interested in all of them, I have been looking at the Pansat 9200 but not sure I am ready to spend that much on a receiver, I do want to get back to the UHF remote deal, are there any other receivers that will do UHF?
Aside from the UHF remote deal what would you guys recomend for a receiver?
THanks again

So if you buy them in pairs they will not interfere with each other?

huh? I have 2 sets...well 1/2
2 transmitters and one receiver...the old pyramid ones from Rat Shack
Have my FTA and Shaw system (and now D*) in the main room. My Shaw and FTA system uses the coax out and goes into the bedroom and basement. Have a transmitter in bedroom and basement and they both work fine
Dont know why you'd need more expensive ones when the regular ones work just fine

If the receivers in the same room are different and all operate by different codes without overlap, one can teach a single Remote all their codes, or assign a different button to each box model. I have a single transmitter that controls many devices in one location from a single Remote in each room. But if the equipment in a room is identical (2 same TVs or STBs - at times happen), or equipment in different rooms is identical (2 same TVs in 2 rooms), cheap Remotes will send same signal to all transmitters in 100m radius, hence suddenly in all rooms devices will start switching synchronously. Depending on the equipment used and its locations one may need a Remote that can assign and send commands to a particular Transmitter and Device IDs, and also use well shielded interference free narrow band Transmitters. It does require some planning - at times the OP should give more details on his setup to get more accurate advice.

If there is no way to change the remote address then yes that will work. But some receivers have the way to change the address. At one time I had a 4DTV, a Voom box (for OTA) and a Shaw Direct receiver all hooked up to the same TV (in the same room). All are Motorola units but 2 of the 3 I could change the address. The Voom box couldnt be changed off of 000. The 4DTV was 002 and the Shaw box was remote address 004 so my simple extenders worked fine.
But if you have say 2 Coolsat 5000's in different rooms with extenders on them then yes there would be an issue.

interesting how you ask the OP for their setup yet when we ask you the same question we get "none of your business"

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....

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. 
Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

when was the last time they innovated something
I'd probably say when they came up with their M-series of processors with integrated memory. That allowed Apple to get away from the inefficient Intel CPUs that were limiting their notebook computers.when was the last time they innovated something
Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?
