Just wondering if Dish could add one more global option. One of my family members consistently fails to choose the HD option for channels that are in HD. This drives me crazy for several reasons that are not germain to this posting.
My thought is to create a global
option that will display all subed channels, but if a channel is offered in both HD and SD only the HD option will be listed. Maybe it could called ALL HD + SD ONLY. Yes I could make a custom favorites list however I could do the same for all HD but there is an option for that!

Lock the SD channels and then hide the locked channels.

Thanks for all the replies. Please reread my original post. I did mention that I could make a favorites list to do what I am asking about.
We have three guide choices on the 722. All Channels, All Sub, and All HD. Why not All HD + SD only?
In my opinion Favorites Lists are exactly that for favorite channels not what I am asking about, even though it will work just fine.

Hear hear. Rumor has it that this much-needed addition will be coming soon :rolleyes: to our 722's. The HD + SD setting will work like the 922, namely the guide will show only HD channels unless there is a channel only in SD, and then it shows that too. I don't think there will be a configurable setting to do what our 722's do now, which is to show the SD duplicates in the guide and select them first when using the Channel Up button. :rant:

I too don't like the favorites list idea, and I personally don't even want to waste 10 minutes X 3 receivers = 30 minutes even once. Probably I would have to do it all over again for each receiver when Dish adds, deletes, or otherwise rearranges channels e.g. during carriage disputes or free previews. Then there is the inevitable chaos/confusion from other family members who don't know what I did and wonder where their channels went.

BTW - how does one go through hundreds of channels in only 10 minutes?

BTW - how does one go through hundreds of channels in only 10 minutes?

I am looking at the channels from 02 thru 400. When editing the list, the channels are displayed in numerical order in list form with the channel name and number displayed and the HD symbol if in HD. Pushing Select puts a red mark in the channel's name and also moves up or down to the next channel. I get to zoom thru the local channels from 02 to 100. I also get to skip everything from 300 to 328 and everything above 362.

I have not added or deleted a channel in months, IIRC. It actually takes me less then ten minutes one time. If I had foreign or sports or Pay Per View programming, it certainly would take longer than 10 minutes, however. (I have Netflix and thus do not even use the free Dish PPV coupons.)

EDIT: I just went thru and created a new "favorites list." It took me six minutes. I realize this is not a good way to determine which channels as I already have a list that I am comfortable.... that said, an existing user that has not created such a list would also know what channels he or she wants included.

It would be nice if free previews were automatically added and subtracted from customized favorites.

I would have little or no use for a favorite list that has every channel listed, even if it was just the HD ones and the SD ones that were not HD. For instance having all the movies listed with the programs is just too many channels when I am not looking for movies. Having all the public interest channels, etcc is too many channels to go through everytime I scroll. That's why I like making my own favorites list, put in just the HD channels that I want in the list, and the SD channels.
If there is enough interest that there may be such a list as suggested, I hope not at the expense of how many customizable lists we now have.
I am going to send an email asking that if they are going to make a list of only the HD version and SD only channels, that it not delete one of the customizable lists we now get.

The OP is right. What we would like is the same feature available for local channels. This means no maintenance, which is a PITA, nor the inconvenience of using the Locks feature (don't get me started on how many things this screws-up). I had heard on this forum that such a feature was on the way already coming soon, so don't worry about the bean spilling. The favorites list is used for my favorites that often include SD's and are used by others in the household in many homes. The OP's request is one I and others made on this forum long ago, and I am with the OP and understand the preference for such a feature that "All HD" EPG, Favorites List, and Locks do not fully address. Each of those has annoying consequences for, perhaps not some, but for many of us.

Lock the SD channels and then hide the locked channels.

That's what I did on my 211k

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.
