Which satellite system is best for free-to-air?
I am interested in Christian shows and know they are on Galaxy 19.
I see that Glorystar is available, but is rather expensive. The prices they gave me for 2-rooms are higher than their ads - $460 - $500.
I would like to be able to record to DVD, off of a DVR if not directly.
Thank you for your help.

They're not the same channel 
CTN on 12060-Christan Television Network
CTN on 11995-Cambodian Television Network
Kinda like when "CTV" showed up in the list and folks thought it was CTV from Canada...and not CTV from Cambodia or something like that

Excellent! Thank you Brian.
This is what I was attempting to relay to Needshelp.
Now, with that in mind with the original receiver models, can Needshelp switch back and forth at will between the GloryStar mode and the Advanced mode? I am sure that she and her husband would like to check it out so that they can see what is available, but they may wish to switch back if they decide they don't care to view the other freebies available. I'd opt for the advanced mode myself, to get full use of at least that one satellite's offerings, but the perk to update the Glorystar channels would also be important and a really neat function.
With the new MicoHD receiver, will the original GloryStar mode be made available, eventually? Or is that up in the air at this time?
If I read Needshelp correctly, I think that she and her husband will enjoy the full gambit of all the FTA channels available and thus want to use the Advanced Mode, even though they may desire to focus on the religious channels. They can learn how to screen out, block or delete the channels that they don't care for. Of course, we can all help them with that scenario as they get into the whole thing and start discovering what is up there and what they want to watch.
Needshelp,
I hope that you will reflect on our PM conversations and utilize the information that I presented to you there and the advise and information which is presented here in this thread.
You can certainly feel confident in our advise. No one here will hornswaggle you into doing anything that you don't want to do. Your decision is your own. We pride ourselves in representing the scenario to you with all the facts and information that you should find important and then allowing you to make your own decision based on the facts. You'll have to gel the information down and make every decision on your own, of course. We don't talk you into anything. It's like the old show... THE FBI.... Just the Facts, Mam.
You understand.
So, you gather the information like I told you, ask the pertinent questions and then make your decision.
I will, however, recommend the GloryStar equipment from SatelliteAV and Brian Gohl. That is my opinion and recommendation to you for what you are initially looking for. I sincerely don't think that you can go wrong here for the religious channels that you desire and for the option to open more FTA possibilities for you. But, you have to make the decision between you and your husband.
You can count on all of us to assist, nearly any time of day or night with whatever equipment you decide to purchase. There is always someone here that knows a good deal about nearly everything that is available to you. So you won't ever be left in the dark regarding the technical aspects.
Keep up your research and select what you think is best for you. We'll help you out if you run into a bind or don't understand something. And, as Brian said, with the GloryStar equipment, it's basically a breeze.
Best of luck and "Keep Looking Up"! That's a quote from one of my favorite people, Dr. Jack Horkheimer, the Star Hustler / Star Gazer....

These dont work on the advanced side
edit: found a thread with those slates on it
http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air-fta-discussion/255057-geosat-pro-200-software-glitch-after.html
yes. A master reset kicks you back to that screen. I've switched between the two a few times to see how slick the updates work on the G* side. Heck when channels are going to be launched there is a slate in the G* mode that says "coming soon" and lists the channel name. Also there are 4 "slates" which are built into the G* software that say "welcome to Glorystar", a slate for installers, a slate of channel changes, and the 4th I forget

Brian said down the road that will be an option
Ceremonial Rights
In past, I survived the ceremonial procedure handed down from ancient times by Newfoundland Screechers including unspeakable acts involving cod fish...I keep in hiding my certificate to prove what I say.I'm assuming thats a Nova Scotia joke?
IS Amiko MIRA 3 any good ???
Can you recommend the best to cover all bases. NO BEEPS on certain channels 101w (NEWSMAX ,NEWS NATION), a clock that keeps working STEADY for timed recording ,solid unit with good lifespan. My Amiko died AND my Linkbox has NO Favorites Button and BEEPS on many channels. Picking up 105 west with a NEW SHED IN THE Way with 6 foot Cband ..95 percent quality ...unbelievable.

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. 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.
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

It seems the phone gets locked into Sat mode. A software patch is coming to avoid that pitfall, but it comes too late for those who already fell in.

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....

I'm surprised Walmart hasn't banned this guy from all of their stores. He has been on their CASE the past few months.

I would think that all the packaging would already be accounted for ... they weigh the container, subtract that from the scale, then add the product , so its weighing the Product onlyUnless the specific product or its packaging is known at the time of weighing, estimating the tare weight for a PoS system is a tall order.
I'm pretty sure that produce bags can't get any thinner.
You certainly don't want to put unbagged produce on a belt, scale, or in a clerk's hands (gloved or not).

I've always been super interested in things space related so this is a pretty cool event coming up. Nov 18, 2026 early in the morning, Voyager 1 will reach the distance of one full light day from Earth. Took almost 50 yrs. I was 13 when it launched.
