Had ku setup on dish worked good setup C band and am getting great lock on sat 91w with a FS-1 Meter but am not hitting any channels on my SV8000HD.

I made sure when looking at the front of the LNB the Vertical was at the bottom say at 6 O'clock and HOR on the left at 9 when I first started rotating to get a lock. I believe the Vertical is at it is at about 7 right now. I will try and take some Picture's tomorrow when it's light out. these are the settings on the FS-1
F: 3720
sr : 26700
Lo: 5150
Lnb:13
22khz: off
I did change it from 13 to 18 on the meter and rotated the LNB and did get a lock. But I would have thought I should get the lock with out rotating it. I have not tried to get 3820 on the meter yet will try that next.
I have tried entering the PID info manually on the receiver and that is where I ran into another problem. I am using Sv8000HD sometimes when I push the PID button a box comes up and I can enter the PID numbers. Then I go back to the same transponder and hit the PID button again whole receiver reboots. Also I am not sure it is holding the PID numbers when I high light the transponder I am not seeing the PID numbers any where on the screen and when I Hit the PID button it comes up with the same default numbers every time.
I did A factory reset on it this morning and reloaded the Main bin file i have 4.43 to see if that helps will try to enter the channels manually again tonight. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks

Don't expect a whole lot . That dish is small, and being motorized , it is probably not quite as well tuned as a fixed dish could be , for a single sat. The 3720 tp is strong, and you will probably get the CW mux fine, once you figure out how to manually enter the PID info. You are only going to get the strongest tp's with that setup, but that may work well for you, at that.
Happy times, trying.

Hi can you clarify something. when i have the meter on the LNB i can hit vertical signal but i have to rotate the LNB to hit the Horizontal on the same transponder. So when i do a blind scan on my reciever is it going to pick up both or am i limmited to just vertical or horizontal. Also i was told the dish i have is identical to the Hotdish90 and should be able to get the C band. Is this accurate or just wishfull thinking.

if your dish is less than 6 feet you will be lucky to pickup any c-band at all.....doesnt really matter who makes the dish....

The receiver selects either V polarity or H polarity , depending upon the voltage it supplies to the lnbf ( 13V or 18V) . A 90cm dish is just a toy for C-band reception. The typical minimum size for C-band is 6 foot, although you can reliably get the stronger tp's with a 4 foot mini-BUD, but believe me, a 4 footer only makes you want a 6 foot dish.

Truer words have never been spoken. Unless there is just a specific channel or two you want to get on C-band, I wouldn't even bother with a small dish. It's just too much of a headache for minimal results.

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.
