This may have been covered at some point in the past but multiple searches over the last few days didn't answer my question so here goes.

What I want to do is to have all the satellite location degree numbers together for both C and Ku sats so I'm not having to scroll up and down the list to get from say 127W Cband to 123W Ku? It's just a PITA having to go up and down that list all the time when the actual satellite locations at times are only a few numbers/degrees apart.

So is it possible to rearrange the satellite list on a Micro HD by putting all the C and Ku satellites together instead of having separate sections?

Thanks

Set the LNB type Like Magic static suggests to 5150 / 10750. To elaborate on the flow:

  • Put a 22Khz switch in line
  • 22Khz OFF port connect to C-band LNB
  • 22KHz ON port connect to the KU-band LNB

Hummm, never saw that LO setting as I have them setup now for the DMX741S LNBFs that I use on both systems. This may explain why when I did a multi-satellite scan it only showed channels on the Ku sats and I got nothing on the Cband ones until I did those manually?

Ennywho, those DMX LNBFs already have a 22hz switch built in so I'm going to "assume" that I don't need to add one? Yes/No?

And I just went to the Antenna Setup menu on 58W Cband and when I set the LO to 5150/10750 the 22k setting goes to "Auto" and can't be changed. Is this normal?

I guess I need to download the editor so I can see if I can "boot loop" this thing while trying to learn how to use it? :eek: Which I haven't done yet BTW and don't even have a cable!

Thanks

EDIT: Well, the Media Box editor won't work for me for some reason?? It crashes every time I try to open that .udf file giving me the following error: ERROR N.9, Script Out Of Range

Ennywho, I did use the ALI editor and I changed the satellite positions in the list like I wanted them and it's back up and running now.

Thanks again

The DMX built in switch should be fine. However there was issues with the WSI built in switch. It caused so much interference upstream, the VBox couldn't get the DiSEqC 1.2 signals from the microHDs. So they just used an external switch on those combo LNBFs. The dual LO settings are designed for LNBs with built in switches and thus the tone is "AUTO" and can't be changed.
I felt the same way about the chance of Boot Looping my microHD, so I bought a cable. I hope I never use it ;)

what I have done to get both c and k band satellites scanned in one pass is to do the c band first with a scan with only the c band satellites chosen in the satellite list. then choose the k band satellites and scan them with a scan and cancel the scan when the k band is done. then when you use the pre programmed multi satellite scan it will do both k and c bands at one time. it won't look for new channels though but it will find new channels if the tp was already there. charlie

I think changing the LO settings will fix this multi scan issue but I don't usually do those scans after I get the initial one done. As long as everything else is working OK I'm not going to change anything.

I save that userdb.udf-original file on my computer then just do what I need to keep current on the satellites that I visit on a regular basis. I do a backup copy of that userdb.udf once a week or so and include the date in the file name so I know when it was done. If problems come up with that channel list then I can revert back to that initial one I saved and start over from there or backup to the one made a week or two ago.

I've been using the Openbox S9s for a good while now and it's taken me some time to get use to using this Micro HD even though the menus are very similar. Each receiver has it's own quirks but I'm feeling more and more comfortable with this one as time goes on. I'll probably retire the S9s some time in the not too distant future.

I had the DMX-741 on my dish for a while using the uHD, worked great using the "universal 5150/10750" setting. When I changed to a C2 I added the 22KHz switch and ran the second port to the Ku dish. Works the same, but you have to remember where the C-band dish is parked before doing the whole sat scan! The Ku is on it's own DISEqC motor.
Every receiver has it's quirks. The uHD has very few, and works very well for it's size and $$.

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

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.
