Got a chance to pull out the new microHD and try to set it up. Yeah!!! oops; 
The 12VDC connector does not match any cord I now have. OK. Replaced the starter gear on the generator and got the receiver working on AC.
OK, hook up to TV. OH NO. Cable end does not match the others I have and will not hook up. OK, extension cords. Nope, wrong ends. Moved receiver out of the hole and closer to TV. Got it going. 
Updated the software and scanned 97W, the only dish I have hooked up. Started to sort channels. Hmm, OK, will take the time to run the editor. Goes much slower with the remote than the Mercury II or the 1100c. OK, will not be a problem except for time.
Very good picture so far. I do not have an HDMI cable, so although the TV and receiver are both HD, I can not test - but no HD on 97W as I understand. Making a list of things to pick up when go to the "big" city. Nothing useful in Goldendale. I can and will take the receiver with me!
When I make up a kit to sell to RVers, I will include those little things that are needed. I could cut the cord on the power supply, but I want 90 degree connectors so the receiver will sit back against the wall without breaking wires (this is a problem with my DVD player - small connector tiny wires on it). The AV connector is also too long, but I have not found a 90 degree connector in the catalogs.
So, the dimensions do not include connector length. I do not ye know how much of a problem that will be. It is not fatal flaw, however, it may mean I can not put it where I want it. The USB port in the back requires an extension, and that connector is a very tight fit.
These are first thoughts. Have to get back to the drainfield, or I will not make it on the road next weekend.

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....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

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.

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.
