Just replaced the standard LNB on the Ku dish with a universal 9750/10600 to try out this particular unit. Realized quickly I have to use the C-band list as well as the Ku band list to do this because I was using the 5150/10750 universal setting before, and change the settings on all the satellites. Not a big deal really, but something that might be nice when doing this is to have the option for 5150/10600 under the universal list in the LNB menu. Of course if someone wants to utilize the universal LNBF as a true universal with the low band Ku they would use the already existing 9750/10600 setting.

My "Micro" setup uses an Ecoda 22KHz switch with the tone-off port going to the c-band LNBF and tone-on going to the Ku motor/LNBF.

This shouldn't be high on the priority list. Just something to do if other changes are being made in the firmware.

Interesting request that can be easily implemented in a future release. I will predict that this wont work with all 22khz and universal type LNBF combinations, due to the switching duration and pass through capability.

You also could replace the 22khz switch with a DiSEqC 2x1 and keep the 22khz ON at all times. This would keep the ability for C/KU and also use an universal LNBF locked to highband.

Edited to correct misstatement.

Talk about quick service! :)

Yes, would have to be an ecoda switch with passthrough to make it work.

Not sure about the diseqc... Think I need to do some learning on how the diseqc 2.0 cascade options work in thie receiver. I did not realize that was an option. Will have to do some reading on this to figure out how it switches between ports on the same satellite
SatelliteAV
I apologize... two satellites would need to be used for DiSEqC switch option.

Replace the 2x1 22khz switch with a DiSEqC 1.0 2x1 switch. Port 1 will be for one band and port 2 for the other. Leave 22khz ON for KU satellites.
Cham
Kind of threw me for a loop there...

To make it work I just use the 22KHz off for the C-band sat and 22KHz on for Ku sat and leave the Ku LO at 10600, using a seperate satellite for each band. It actually works in 9750/10600 univeral mode but the C-band frequencies are all messed up... but that's a lot of math to do every time I want to add another TP without blind scanning. I'm way too lazy.
Didn't accomplish what I wanted to do with the universal Ku so I'll put the standard PLL LNBF back in. Was trying to get the NBC mux on 103 to work, for some reason it doesn't matter what I do it just won't. Great signal on the sat meter at the LNB but the Micro just doesn't see it. I am suspecting I have an interference issue, either on the IF side or the Ku side; or a bad piece of cable somewhere. It's should be good cable (Commscope/Times Microwave) but you never know...
Cham
Found the bad piece of cable. I thought it was the Commscope cable but looking at the shield under the broken jacket cover it certainly was not. Hopefully this will fix this and other issues...

I suspect the culpret was the kitty in the picture that may have been playing with the cable causing the jacket to crack in the cold weather, leading me to the discovery of the inferior length of cable.

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.
