Sorry to bring back an old thread but for those of you interested, we are about to introduce a wireless USB adaptor so that people with an Elite or Ultra may connect their receiver to their wireless network. These adaptors will work "out of the box" so no special software will be required in order to enable these. Please note that this is NOT a wireless bridge so it does not use the receiver's ethernet port in order to function.

Will let you guys know once it becomes available.

Did this project ever get off the ground?

I just bought a Netgear WNCE2001 from WalMart and it does work with both the Elite and the Ultra. It should make my wife happy to see more cables disappear.

But, while testing I found that I couldn't access YouTube and the web browser didn't work. It doesn't appear to be an issue with the Netgear adapter.

Yes, we will be releasing our WaveFocus wireless USB adaptor within the next few weeks. Sorry for the delay but we want to make sure there are no issues with the device before releasing it.

Yes, the Netgear WNCE2001 is essentially a wireless ethernet bridge and allows you to enable any device that only has an ethernet port to connect to your exisiting wireless network. However, I do believe it creates a second NAT network so you might experience connectivity issues due to "double natting" depending on how your network is configured.

Our WaveFocus USB wireless adapter on the other hand will work as a true wireless adapter out of the box for the Elite and Ultra. You will be able to choose a wireless network using the AzBox GUI just like if you had an AzBox Premium or Premium HD Plus and directly connect to your wireless network as a client instead of going through a bridge.

How does the AZBox Me fit into all these. Azbox Me can't go wireless without an adapter, right?

It wasn't a problem with the adapter. Instead, a firmware upgrade fixed the problem. But, YouTube and the web browser is VERY slow even though the Azbox speed test shows an 8 Mb connection. My actual internet service (cable modem) is 30 Mb.

As a follow-up to this, the WaveFocus wireless USB adaptor for AzBox is now available from authorised AzBox Canada dealers. The adaptor supports 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n standards with a maximum speed of 150Mbps when using wireless N. :) It features a detachable antenna so you may upgrade the included 2 dBi one with a SMA type antenna of higher gain if your wireless signal is weak. The unit plugs in to any USB port of the Ultra HD or Elite HD and will work "out of the box" with any version of the official firmware without having to install any special drivers or software.

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.
