I have an HR34 + AM21N setup. While I do get the main Los Angeles locals through DTV, I'm using the AM21N to get the "sub channels" only offered through OTA.

My question is that there's 1 channel (This, 5.3) that keeps disappearing from the guide even though it is marked/checked in my channel list.

It temporarily reappears in the guide when I go to my channels list menu....but a few hours later, that particular channel is gone from the guide again. It's ONLY happening with that 1 channel ONLY.

*This is also reflected on one of my C31 clients as well (separate channel list from HR34) with that SAME channel as well.*

I can manually tune to that channel via direct remote selection though, but does anyone know WHY it's not showing up in the guide and if there is a FIX for this annoyance?

Thanks.

Its a glitch in the HR34 receiver's firmware. I sometimes have this problem. The temporary solution is to edit your channel list, first delete the problem channel, exit, then edit your list again and re-add it.

The HR34 is the first DirecTV receiver to use an AM21 or AM21N that does not rely on the prebuilt channel map from DirecTV, in other words it WILL allow you to tune a subchannel even if it is not in DirecTV's channel map/guide data stream.

I know when I reboot the HR34 any OTA channels that are "scanned" in disappear for some reason. I have 4 that do that. These are channels not in the database (so they show "regular programming" in the guide)

What I do is this
manually put in the channel (in my case 5-3, 5-6, 23-3 or 29-3)
then hit info to bring up the bar on the top of the screen
arrow to favorites
down to "remove from ______" (if you have a favorite)
hit select to "remove it"
then go back to "add to ______"
hit select

that seems ot work for me until I have to reboot the HR34

Thanks for the tip. This is much faster than the method I was using via Settings > Favorites.

And yes I noticed that particular channel shows "regular programming" in the guide menu.....so this might indeed be a bug/glitch w/ the HR34 + AM21N.

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.

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....

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

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.
