I did a 'NO-NO', I think. I made some changes in Maz and downloaded and the receiver became unstable. I reloaded the firmware, 9.4502, and still was unstable so I did reformat the application area. Of course, now I need all my setting replaced. I have the files, but I cannot get the wireless to connect. I have tried to follow the instructions, but no connection results. The unit will find my wireless and set the name in the for selection. Then when I do the 'connect' it goes to the screen for setup, and clicking on 'setup' results in 'No connection, try again'.
Any assistance will be appreciated.
Thanks,

I'm assuming you loaded the 9.5402 firmware. I had the same problem when I loaded that on my elite (no internet connectivity with a wired connection). Its possible that there is something missing in that firmware that existed in a previous version (after all its only a patch) that you removed when you formatted the application area. Try installing a previous version and see if that solves the problem. Maybe 9.5307 0r 9.5308 and format the application area again. If that works for you, then install the 9.5402 patch over it.

I understand how you could be confused with the firmware files using the name "patch" but actually, no firmware files are preserved when updating the firmware except settings and the channel list. However if you format the application area, these files are deleted and factory defaults are installed with the new firmware.

I HAVE IT WORKING AGAIN!!!!!! I followed this process:
Formatted the Application Area
Reloaded 9.5309 firmware over the 9.5402.
Rebooted
Reset my Settings, and the wireless connected immediately going through the setup.
Reset my antenna, TP and USALS settings
Scanned the TPs that I wanted
Everything working OK now, I think....

I don't think I will touch it for awhile. :-)
I think that I may have a bad download or install on the 9.5402 firmware that I was using.

Im not confused at all. Things don't always work as they are supposed to. Water will even flow uphill (on a windy day). That solution worked for me, and it appears it worked for Migold also.

I don't think you had a bad download of the 5402 firmware as you stated that wireless networking was working fine until that incident with the MAZ software right? If this is the case then it's actually MAZ that caused the configuration file(s) in your receiver to become corrupted and reformatting the application area fixed the issue by replacing these files with factory default settings. You can now safely upgrade to 0.9.5402 again without any issues as your configuration files are now clean.

One must be very careful when using MAZ as there are a few bugs with this software which can corrupt settings files when editing them using the software. This is due to the fact that MAZ hasn't been updated for a while now and I do believe there was a slight change in configuration file format with firmware versions that came out after the last MAZ version was released. Because of this, it is highly recommended to use AzBox Edit instead of MAZ to do the actual editing of your channel list and only use MAZ to transfer the channel file to your receiver.

I tried to search for "AzBox Edit", but I am getting a 'Timed Out' message. Where can I get the "AzBox Edit"? I have ACC.exe but not the "AzBox Edit".
Thanks,

Nevermind - I found it on the website.

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.
