I am probably missing something obvious but how is a specific start time set in a long recording?

If a recording is six hours, how can it be started at the five hour mark?

Are you talking about playback of a long recording, and starting the playback at a certain time?

If so, the only way I know of is to start playback, hit the info button, then keep skipping using the right arrow until you get to the part of the recording you want to view.

To go along with the above, after hitting the "Info" button, while the screen is up that shows where you are in the recording, you can hit one of either the Right arrow or Left arrow buttons by the LIST button. Each push of the button will advance a bit in the recording, or go backwards a bit in the recording. To place a BOOKMARK, while that screen is up, hit the RED button to place the bookmark where you want. You can place multiple bookmarks. Then, after exiting the recording, next time you start it, hit the GREEN button to immediately advance to the Bookmarked spot, each hit of the Green button will advance you to the next Bookmarked spot...

If you want to remove a bookmarked spot, hit the RED button a second time while you are sitting at that bookmarked spot.

The thirty minute skip interval is just the ticket, particularly in conjunction with the scan forward/reverse.

I simply didn't notice there was a 30 minute as well as a 30 second setting.

Thanks

The Playback Skip Interval is available in increments of: 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes and 30 minutes.

That is one great piece of information. Where did you learn this? I haven't seen it before. Is there a newer version of the user manual with this info?

It was posted here by another person a long time ago, and is buried in a thread somewhere. I think he mentioned it came from his owning another receiver that uses the same Ali chip as this one. There's probably more hidden native features such as this. Perhaps Brian can query the developers into listing all of them?

OK, I found the post: http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads...opment-Feature-Requests?p=2936184#post2936184

All thanks go to "Copykat" for originally posting it.

On my Visionsat, I was able to type in the numbers to what percent of the recording I wanted to go to. So for example a 4 hour recording, if I wanted to get to the 3rd hour I could punch in 75 on the remote (ie 75%) to get to the 3rd hour. I did like that feature. My Visionsat was very unpredictable for recording however, I have been much happier with the microHD!

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

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.

Has anyone noticed an FF stutter with 713? I used to be able to hit FF a few times and skip smoothly. After 713 (maybe 712), when I skip forward, there is a definite stutter for as many times as I have pressed FF.

Can anyone check on this and report back? Recorded programs and then press skip forward a few times to see if it's smooth? Normally, it just jumps to the right place after the skips.

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.

My wife mentioned that her remote is acting strange this morning. She hit FF and it went to 15x FF.

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.
