OK guys need some help here. Finally started playing with the 7150 (rebadged DSR-4800) and ran into a couple issues. Hooked up a couple audio cables (with wires stripped) to the terminal strips on it. Unit is slaved to the Geosat which right now was on 87W C-Band.

Tuned in a "feed" that is DCII and the audio came through just fine. Tried Nasa and the audio worked too. The issue I have been running into is some of the feeds the audio works and some dont. Here are the examples I tried tonight

-DCII feed....worked
-NASA....worked
-MeTV....nope
-ThisTV....symbol rate too low (the 7150 only goes down to 3250 s/r)
-The mux with @Sports and the 2 spanish channels..nope
-The audio only mux with "Focus on the Family"...yep. Lots of audio on there

So then I tried 99W
-Nets...worked
-KCWY NBC..worked
-MyTV...nope
-World Harvest..nope
-GDMX feeds...nope <-----these I really want to work
-The Spanish channels (Univision, WAPA)...nope

Then I tried 125W and all the SD feeds on there worked fine (12180, 12162, 12169, 12175)

Most when I hit the audio button show info but a couple its blank. I waited a couple minutes for the channel to finish downloading the VCT to see if that was it and it wasn't

So what am I doing wrong?
Also there are 2 mic cable audio outputs...I have a couple 3 pin mic to RCA cables and those dont work at all....something in the settings?
Also I have to slave mine. If I hook it directly it wont work at all. I assume these cant work with a LNBF and needs the 3 wire polarity changing LNB instead?

Otherwise it seems to be working pretty good.

well I tried the 3 pin outputs and all they did was put out a "fuzzy noise" sound

well I tried again and as photoman said if I press the audio button on the GDMX feeds the info blinks on and off. On the plus side I figured out how to get it to work on a LNBF
LNB high for H, LNB low for V

So I hooked up the other one I have and programmed in the NBC feed (3776 H 3256)...yellow lock but on the display it says "WAIT SAM/CAM" and I cant change the stream. Its stuck on 00002...need 00001 for the NBC

Anybody got any clues on that?

wait sam/cam

yeah this one says that when you fire it up. I know the "good" unit flashes it while I scroll through the channels but the other one is "stuck" on that.

CAM is "conditional access module" ...might be searching for a UID that may no longer be there. (I don't know if these have batteries like the GI/Moto DSR series)
M
huh...never thought of that. I know the person I bought them from said they were pulled from a working environment at the same time. Maybe one is just dead and can be used for parts?

Anybody know if there is a way to do a master reset on them?
M
had a "D'OH" moment today. Was working with it and wasnt getting any audio on any channels. So hooked back up to the PBS and still no audio. Was like what the heck

Looked on the back and the audio cables I had stripped the wiring to fit into the terminal strip. Well the cable twisted and the wires touched....therefore no audio. Whoops ;)

This is what happens for me when I try tuning a mux with no PMT (CW's @91W)
The status alternates between "WAIT SAM/CAM" and "WAIT TUNER LOCK"
Still strange that it only happens with one of them on the NBC mux (assuming the mux has a PMT).
Does the GI-ACE in the "Config" menu match the sticker on the unit that is misbehaving?(You prolly already checked and it shouldnt matter anyway for DVB...but for sheets and giggles its worth a check)
As for your audio issues...according to the manual if SAP is being carried you can go to the "Audio" menu and switch to 3/4, just make sure you use the 3/4 outputs on the terminal strip.

It was also mentioned about the battery in these units. You better believe it, they are there underneath the hood of the GI-ACE module.

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.

it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

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.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
