I dont know if I would call this a bug...but it is a step back
I previously used software from 6/29

When manually recording if you hit channel up or down it went to the next channel on that same TP. So as example I only have 2 channels stored from 97W 12115
Doc Scott
Cornerstone

but they are not next to each other. There are different channels between them. 6/15 & 6/29 software I could just channel up/down and it would go to each one of those.

Now if I try that it says "stop recording then continue" which makes it sound like I am trying to go to another transponder.

Maybe I'll take screen shots to explain better ;)

edit: per the review

Recording something is very easy and you can record two things at once as long as it's the same transponder. If you try and record a 3rd you get a popup that says "Unable to record 3rd channel". If you are recording something the receiver allows you to scroll through the other channels on the transponder (if there are some) but it wont let you move off that transponder. So as example when I was recording TuffTV the only channels I could go through using the up down arrows were PBJ & RTV. The reason I say this is other receivers let you go onto another transponder but gives you a popup first asking to record. The Micro makes this easier as you don't have to think "now what channels are on that same transponder that I can watch?" especially if you have channels separated in the list. As example on 97W I have the "news" channels listed first. But they may not be sorted by transponder. If I am recording say Russia Today and want to scroll to Al Jazeera English if say JN1 is between them the Manhattan would give me the popup to ask if I want to stop the program. The MicroHD if I hit channel up goes to JN1. If I hit channel up again it goes back to Russia Today (those are the only 2 channels from that transponder I have saved.)

Here is what I mean

with new software
1st pic is my 97W list
I start recording Doc Scott
2nd pic is what it shows when you press "OK"
3rd pic is what it shows when you press channel up or down

so I rolled back to 6/29 software and then tried it
started recording Doc Scott
4th pic shows when I hit channel up...it goes to Cornerstone and it shows channel 002
5th pic shows when I hit channel up again...it goes back to Doc Scott

Interesting! Are you using the same channel list for testing both versions?

I am able to replicate by simply moving CTVN in the channel list with a second transponder between. If you select CTVN in the list and press OK key, the receiver allows you to go to the channel, but channel up/down and the message appears.

Thanks for documenting! We will see why the STB thinks that a moved channel is no longer on the same transponder.....

Seems to be related to loading a prebuilt user data base file made with previous firmware after updating to 2012.7.6. Once we updated the receiver's firmware, we did not install the ,udf file, but instead scanned the channels. After performing multiple sessions of recording two channels and watch a third, the function seems to be working normal. Have the ability to Channel Up/Down during a recording and either select a second channel to watch or record and watch a third channel.

Please confirm that this works on your side....

I will have to try that...

so I guess I can load the .udf file to at least keep my motor settings then remove the channels and rescan them in......

yup works now
I deleted all the channels on 125W and rescanned them in. Hit record on OETA2 (which logs as CH4) and in the sat list was channel 21. Hit channel up. It went to OETA (which logs as CH3) and showed channel 1. Hit up again to go back to OETA2 and now it showed as Channel 2

So it looks like I have to rescan in my channel list. no worries :)

still doing testing but found something interesting
-I had selected 97W from the sat list so it only showed 97W channels. Hit record on Doc Scott and hit channel up. Got the error message I did before. Stopped recording
-Selected "All satellite" and tried again. Recorded Doc Scott and hit channel up. It bumped me to CTVN (Cornerstone) which is on same TP.

So it looks like if you are on all satellite for the list it works fine but on just that sat it doesn't.....again I'll do more testing

edit: well did some more testing and it does work on both lists (all or just one satellite). The issue is after you hit record you have to wait like 3-4 seconds for the receiver to figure out what channels are on that TP. I was hitting channel up right away confusing it. Wait a couple seconds then it works fine :)

The solution to this issue was to perform a Factory Reset after loading new firmware.

Issue resolved.

I just rescanned in my channel list after loading the newest software. I loaded the channels then deleted all the channels (which still kept my motor settings) and then scanned them back in

For folks who just got their Micros this is moot as they would be starting fresh anyways

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.
