I know most of us had a "DUH" moment when working on your dish setup...well here is mine
As posted in the main area, I reaimed the 4 footer and now have 121 C-Band and 125 KU. Since there was one cable out there and I didnt feel like running another one I hooked up a 22k switch outside. Anyways...went to hook up the cable that came into the house for it.
Hooked it to port 4 of diseqc. Turned on azbox. Set up port 1,2,3 just fine. Port 4 had 0 signal....uh oh....bad port I guess
Went down in the drop ceiling (my basement has a drop ceiling and everything is there and then the cables are run up through the floor into the living room) and swapped out diseqc.....tried again...same result....0 signal on port 4 (not 0 quality....0 signal which means nothing coming into the port)
Went back downstairs and Hooked up cable directly to the receiver in the basement....worked fine on both 0K and 22K....dang two diseqcs bad?
Swapped it to a old DMSI switch (the old style)...went upstairs...0 signal...grrrrrrr
Went back downstairs and went to swap ports 3 & 4. Phone rang and as I was talking on the phone I thought to myself....wait a minute. The cable going on that diseqc up through the floor is grey. That goes to the other receiver to blind scan C-Band and the fixed dish at 105. The one going to the azbox is black
YOU'RE HOOKING THE CABLE TO THE WRONG DISEQC SWITCH!!!!
Hung up the phone and hooked the cable for 121/125 to the other diseqc and went upstairs...oh my it works
Well I had to mention my duh moment. Usually I'd start tearing apart cables and switches to get it to work. I guess the rule is check all connections and make sure its the RIGHT one

Well I kinda did it again....hooked up a receiver to the grey cable to blind scan 87W C-Band (since the azbox doesnt have blind scan)...selected port 1 for C-Band and got 0 quality and 20 signal...ugh possible bad switch?
Went down and checked the switch....looked good....looked again...instead of using ports 1-3 I had used 2-4. The label had fallen off of the switch so it looks the same until you really look and see the glue on the back.
Well at least I didnt switch it 3 times. Moved the cable to the right port and it worked fine

Don't know if any of you have watched this series yet, it would be interesting to see if you feel this review was accurate. It was very humorous to listen to however.

Halfway into the "written" review, I know more about how the writer "thinks" than I do about what they are writing about. I understand their politics, their self-overestimated understanding of film, their inability to be funny.
Takes about 22 paragraphs to get to one that starts "Anyway, the story kicks off...". Talk about Slop!
If the review is like the article, oi! Eighteen paragraphs into the review and... all they've done is not really talk at all about the actual thing they are reviewing.

Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes.

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home though
You say that like it's a Bad thing or something ...
For a whole generation of adults it was in the 1960s and 1970s.You say that like it's a Bad thing or something ...

HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
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....
