I recently made a couple changes to my Dish setup. I installed a 1000.2 EA dish that only can see 61.5 and 72.5 which replaces the separate dishes I had with a spilt-arc. I have a DPP44 switch out at the dish, and did have 2 coax cables coming into the house from ports 1 & 2 going to tuners 1 & 2. Cable 1 goes to the DPP44 power booster first, then up to tuner 1. The signal numbers from the transponder list match the levels required for my area for the key transponders. That's the 1st change I made, and it ran like that for a couple days just fine as far as I know, with no spurious reboots. Unless some occurred when I wasn't around.
I then consolidated the coax cabling coming into the house a few days later. I removed cable #2 from the switch, and from tuner #2. I installed a dish separator on cable #1 (actually at the end of the coax jumper coming from the power booster for the DPP44), and attached each leg from the separator outputs to tuner 1 & 2 inputs. I then ran a check-switch, and it found the separator and all appeared to be well.
Today however, the receiver has rebooted twice for sure that I know of. Once this morning, and once about 1.5 hours ago. I was not watching it at either time, I was watching my FTA receiver, but heard the reboot and the fan kick on and off. I switched over to it, and it did the 5 minute signal thing, and then did the 10 minute FULL guide reload (both reboot times it did the full guide reload. That doesn't typically happen on a regular signal loss reboot, at least I don't remember it happening?).
So, I don't know what's up. Did my changes cause this, is it a fluke, is my internal harddrive going bad yet again? I've had spontaneous reboots before from signal loses during thunder storms, but that's not happening today. Since I wasn't watching it at the time, I don't know if there was a signal loss screen just before today's reboots either. OH! I checked the temp of the drive in diags, and the high is 127 degrees, low at 95 (it's been 95+ here for days)
Anybody got any ideas?

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....

It is really really simple install (no special tools or instruments required and they guide you through using their starlink app and a simple set of instructions.Hello there

You can order direct from starlink online or from an authorized retailer.
Not at all like the special equipment needed for a satellite install.
Thank you Nelson,
Yes, I fully agree. I can install it with my teeth, and both hands tied behind my back...but this installation is for a commercial user that will not do it themselves, and myself, Im overseas...
But it looks like that we managed to find someone who can drive there for the work.
Thank you

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. 
Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

This should hit a lot of folks with a dose of reality. I can only imagine how much more common this will get as AI progresses.
I read several stories on this and most are clear as mud. They say a lot of the stolen bitcoin has been "locked out" and that everyone will be made financially whole. I guess time will tell if either of these statements are actually true.

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

Tony as the director.
Would you rather have LaRoche ???Tony as the director.
No. Bring in someone new.
Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.
I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...No. Bring in someone new.
Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)
Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.
Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.
It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.
