Hello,
Due to a ruptured water pipe, my Fortec Classic NA receiver has bitten the dust. The power supply board inside is completely burned.
I need to replace it, but don't know where to start. I have a motorized dish. Will most receivers control motorized systems with USALS?
I am not looking for anything fancy, just a nice receiver that will not break the bank. Insurance didn't give me much to replace it with, so, that's where I am....
Thanks in advance.

I've seen the Linkbox 8000 HD Local on ebay and it says they do FTA and ATSC but I don't know any more than that about it. Perhaps someone can post their experience into its build quality, stability & functionality.

Dammit missed it!!!! I love my old legacy HDhomerun for ATSC on my Amiko A3, phones, tablets and computer but want the cablecard/ATSC combo version so I can tie in my Comcast. A3 would make a way better Xfinity/Comcast (+FTA & IPTV) box than the Xfinity boxes.

Yup, just picked one of the extended units myself. It is eligible for "Amazon Prime Shipping" if you have it.

I have been using the 8000HD Local daily since September 2013. It is not perfect but it works well and is an excellent PVR. The terrestrial tuner is quite sensitive. As a satellite box goes it works better than many I have used and I have never had the urge to hurl it out the window.
Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.

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....

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

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.
