BRAND NEW 2 NEUSAT 9000 HD FTA SATELLITE DIG RECEIVER - eBay (item 270538287016 end time Mar-05-10 14:45:35 PST)
Now I can put HD FTA in my living room and bedroom too.

(The main FTA system is in my den) These will mainly be loaded with our most watched 24/7 HD transponders, and the occasional sports freebie!

PBS HD?
If anyone has a secret on how to get one of these things to scan PBS, let me know. I took the transponder info from my 9200, entered it in the Neusat, got good signal/quality, and manual or blind scan finds NO channels!
So far so good otherwise, but I'd like to see some HD outta this thing.
The only other thing I don't like, is it will not show either signal or quality, 'til you find an active transponder...then it'll show both. -Made me think I had a bad cable at first, 'cause all my other boxes show signal when connected...even if the LNB is laying in here on the floor!
That'll take some getting used to.... but any pointers on getting PBS on 125w to work will be greatly appreciated, it shows signal and quality, but won't find the channels.

digging up the ghosts:
You can skip the first four pages and jump directly to the top of page five for the answer.
After a bit of research, I found no factory firmware, and the hint that they pretty much gave up in 2007 (or 1st quarter, 2008).
...oh, maybe an ownership change... or an importer change...?
That may be why units were being dumped, even then.
Last was called: neuhd_patch0015.zip (1.56 MB), from around 03-06-2008, where I looked.
Further poking around, shows that there was a conversion path to make it into a Captain HD.
. . . oh, maybe that was just for hack-support.
Can't see any reason to do the conversion if regular Neusat 9000 firmware works.

Just a PBS thing....?
Well, this evening I took the Neusat out of the bedroom,
(which only has access to my Ku dishes right now) and put it in my den, hooked it up to an output of my 7.5 footer, looked up TBN on TheList, and scanned in the transponder. There it was. TBN HD -both Dolby and regular.
This thing puts out some beautiful HD. ...Just not from PBS. Now at least the second one will do what it was bought for: HD feeds in the living room!
The PBS thing still has me stumped, though....

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.

WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNET PART OF IT. NO ONE WANTS A BOX CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET EITHER.

That would be handy. Download the latest RNA snippets that can be updated over 5G and no more shots! You're a Genius!Cough, cough. COVID vaccine implants.
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?

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.

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....

Lately my eight year old Dell laptop has been shutting off even when I have a full battery. I have had to keep it plugged up all the time to keep this from happening. Any idea what is causing this? I replaced the battery about three years ago.
