I got my replacement unit a few days ago, used it a little to make sure it's okay, and all has been well. Tonight, I did an update via the satellite and that was good.
So, I started scanning some sats and viewing the results... I had noticed the remote to be a little unresponsive, I thought it was just the angle I was pointing it.
Then I started flipping through the channels that I had just scanned, a bunch of $ channels on 67w, I was just pressing the up or down arrows, but every so often it would go black, stop responding, and then reboot. After that it worked for a little while again, but this problem did repeat a few times.

So I see a thread on the forum about the remote, I tried switching out the batteries, it didn't work, it still has a rebooting issue...:(

I was on 83w just scanned in some channels and was viewing one of them. Then, I brought up the sat list by hitting the sat button on remote, selected another sat, 67w, screen goes black and in a few seconds it reboots and brings me back to the screen i was on before, so I tried another sat, 72w, same thing, another,61w, same thing... so, now I'm going to try saving the files, abs and udf, and do a factory set, or should I try something else?

Thanks again

Go ahead and try the factory reset if you haven't done that since doing a firmware upgrade. (you always should)

There must be something wrong in your satellite system. Perhaps you have a coax cable shorting out, as the MicroHD is sensitive to checking LNB voltage. Disconnect the lnb coax, and just do all sorts of things with the receiver, going in and out of menu's and such, maybe play some dvr files and see what happens. I'm betting on your cabling or something like causing the issue.

I did do a factory reset before, and after, the firmware upgrade.
My other receivers haven't being having any issues, and the coax's were only put down a couple months ago, so I didn't think about them, I'll check it out.

Should I try loading a different udf and see what it does? or will the factory set load a new udf anyway?

Thanks,
SatelliteAV
Don't save any files and do not load any new .udf. Perform a Master Reset then Power Cycle the unit. Activate the desired satellites, configure each satellite and rescan.

Let us know the results.

After updating the firmware did you perform a Factory Reset then power cycle the receiver?

I activated 1 sat at a time, scanned it, viewed some results, de-activated it, and went on to the next.
Let us know the results. -- I will.

I believe I did a factory set, then power cycled, then did the firmware upgrade, then a power cycle, and then another factory set.

"MY BAD" ... I tried to see if I could edit the post and subject, but couldn't see how.

Sorry, it seems the only issue here is user error:o

I tested my coax with the Sathero... it seemed fine.
So, I left the coax disconnected, used the Micro and it did the same as before.
So, then I went into the Sat List and selected all the sats I had previously scanned.
Now, no problem!

So, the answer is, all the satellites that you have channels for, have to be "activated" in the satellite list before you try to select one of those channels or sats from your list.

The manual says;
"displaying a heart icon to indicate that
the satellite has been activated to make
available for Motor/Switch Set-up
and Channel Searches."


I thought once I was done doing that, I should just go de-activate the channel(s).

Also, the transponder listed for the satellite upgrade is no longer valid, or wasn't when I tried.

still learnin':)

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.
