I finally got a DC power cord for the microHD so I am finally getting ready to record. I set the clock to GMT which should mean it is automatic setting. However, as I change channels and transponders on 97W KU the various transponders is different. GOD-TV is correct time 7:43 PM, Church channel shows 08:04 PM.

Am I doing something wrong? I have set up to record with two weekly timers, but it does not appear right, but might be. It shows one date rather than day of the week. 07-23-2012 for 1st 08:30 PM for 00:29 ; 2nd 07-24-2012 for 08:30 for 00:29 instead of Monday and Tuesday.:confused:

Is this OK or a bug?

The microHD has done program recording correctly for 2 days. So that is great. I am presently finishing up the programing of the times.

The 1100c has not recorded the last 2 days! So, the microHD came just in time. I am going to disconnect the 1100c and store it for a few weeks until I can get back to it and do some more testing.

Unlike the 1100c, the microHD does not require the default (time Keeping) channel to be in position 1 !!! :) Yeah! The first ORDERED 12 VDC power cord arrived today. It took me about 20 minutes to get the microHD moved, and the cables hooked up then re-powered and I did not lose anything! Another big PLUS for off grid / RVing. When I have time, I will use my questions and answers and my other comments to write the promised review. Since I am not trying to do any exhaustive scanning - just being able to watch favorites on the road, this has already proven itself to do exactly what I wanted. The only thing not yet tested is on the road antenna alignment! It does get hot in the cupboard - do not know yet if that will be a problem. I can leave the cupboard open while using it, as I will have to open the cupboard to turn it on or off, so could leave it open while watching, -- unless -- MOM wants it closed to look better - or to keep the cats out of the overhead.

I still have not had time to build a mount for the new antenna -- and the old mount for the Primestar got driven over (well to get a service truck out of the mud), then used for a step, so I will have to get the mount built today.

Glitch of some sort ... microHD showed recording, but when it was over would not playback and the previous 2 days were gone. appears the USB thumb drive has been corrupted. Do not think it was a power problem, but it could be. Could it be the heat? Will keep testing! AND the 1100c is working again, was unplugged for about 6 hours and recorded both programs this morning. Taking one microHD with me on the road. Leaving the other one in the big shed.... But the time is still correct. Confused but still learning.

Not sure if this is what happened in your case.... I have observed on many PVR units that if the available memory space is exceed the index gets corrupted. Put the USB on a computer and see if the files appear or if first aid can fix.

Maybe not reference another receiver's recordings or issues??? It becomes very difficult to figure out what recording did what on which.... :cool:

agreed. While both receivers say Geosat since the guts/menus are different it could have some issues.
Thats why I have one USB drive here just for the Micro :)

I have separate drives for each receiver. I do not have first aid program any more. Last one was for Windows (95?). The computer would not even bring up the thumb from the micro. It said unrecognized. The micro brought it up but it looked almost like a debug dump from the old days. I reformatted the thumb drive before I thought that someone might be able to recover it. The format appeared to work.

The 1100c still had a newly formatted thumb drive on it, and I plugged it back in last night, and the sound came on this AM at the right time and recorded both programs OK. I am going to leave it on top of the shelf and not talk about it here as it is operating separately with the older TV which, it turned out, only lost the RF input in the storm, composite is still working - which I found out when I hooked that up just to keep the cables out of the way.

It was HOT yesterday and today is to be +5 degrees and tomorrow another +5. Already showing 97 on one thermometer outside. 89 on another and over 82 inside. Not even noon yet.

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.

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.
