GEOSATpro microHD EPG Question.
Today was a day in which I decided to play with the mikcroHD. While doing this I noticed and understood much better some of the functions of the microHD.
.
With the Owner's manual on hand I went and followed some of the sections that I was not too familiar with.
Most of the questions that I had were mostly clearly answered, and by following the Manual it made it much easier.
But.....I still have some questions that I was not able to get answered.
I came across some satellite channels that indicated that the EPG function was available..... On the K/u band the 103W AMC1 satellite had the most EPG channels offered, and I was going to try and see if I could view what are some of the future programs offered on these channels.
I regret to say that I was disappointed on not seing on the Tv screen any names of the future programs showing.....Am I missing something, a step, a button click, or anything that keeps the microHD from letting me view what is going to be shown within the next half or even one hour from now....What I am rambling about is that there is/was/were no indication or names showing on the lines next to the channel names and underneath their time slots.
As always thanking you for your help.

Not aware of a web or satellite xml or rss data package for the FTA channels. What service provides that? What satellite receiver accesses that data?
I know some computer media center software packages which have very limited FTA EPG data available only for non-commercial license private use.
We are about two or three months away to launching the Glorystar channel EPG TV guide service via the G-19 satellite. This service will have data for about 40 of the Christian channels. This data costs about $800 per month, we estimate about $1000 per month staff time to input flat file data and the satellite streaming is approximately $1200. $36,000 investment per year for 40 FTA channels...
Imagine the cost and time to support hundreds of channels! If the channels aren't bundled with a subscription, there is little financial incentive. Unfortunately most FTA channels don't compile EPG data, so the availability of this type of service via any distribution method is very unlikely.
If Globecast World Vision doesn't see a business model in providing EPG for their paying subscribers, it probably wont happen.

True and if 3000 micro owners subbed to a guide for $25 a year it would be $75000, I am not talking about every single channel but basically like, rtv's, ions, this tv and stuff like that. I am sure many would sub to it, I know I would.

You are truly an optimistic person!
2:Unless the broadcaster includes the EPG data on the same transponder as the uplinked channel, the EPG data would never link to the channel and be useless for all but a specific receiver with EPG mapping. This limits the EPG service not only to a niche FTA market, but narrows it even more to owners of a specific receiver.
More stuff to dream about!
Have you ever played with a DVBS PCI card in a PC and experimented with EPG data and mapping your favorites? There are some EPG projects using open data sharing. WMC has a basic experience for some 97w channels that could provide a good introduction and primer on IP delivery of EPG.

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.

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....
