OTHER Generic Dvb-s2 firmware
Good morning,
I have a generic Dvb-s2 receiver, that may have been misrepresented by the seller. It clearly said in the add,
Dolby audio, which is why I bought it. It turns out, to get the Dolby audio, I need a firmware update. I* have no clue of the manufacturer. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? To be very clear, I am not interested, in any way, of hacking anything, I would just like to be able to run my full signal, into our bedroom tv. i got an HDMI splitter, that said it supports uncompressed audio, but apparently it does not. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Yep! I was going to get one of these! I had it on the watch list, the next day, I put the money on my card, went to buy it, and the priced had jumped to $75! That was a drag! I do see one again, for the $39.95, if I can figure a way to come up with it, before another price jump, it could happen!

Wow, did I ever learn some things today! To start with, I now understand the snafu, that happened when I first bought this POS receiver! While I do buy stuff from Ebay, it is because we live 100 miles, one way, from the nearest actual town. We are so far out, that it was only a year and a half ago, that we even got NBC, & PBS via OTA Ant. When i ordered the rec, I got a message saying they were out of stock in CA, and had to have it shipped from China. (Should have been a red flag there!) Since I had repaired the dead power supply, on our CS5000, and found that what few channels it was getting, were no longer even there, I felt we had to have something. Personally, I will not have DTV in my house, to long of a story for right now, but any one who wants to know why, just ask, & I will be glad to tell. I loved NPS, but oh well. So today, while I was looking around for FW options, a ran across a post, by Titanium, from 2014. The post was regarding, so called companies, stealing tech, for instance Dolby, then sneaking the products by customs, as samples! No wonder they were out of stock in CA! (At least when I buy something from Ebay, I click the USA only filter) I had no idea, this was going on, and I am very sorry for even bothering any of you with this! I have seen a bunch of places, that talk about bin files, when I leaned what that was, I did not go back to any of those! In fact, the 2 reasons I joined this forum is, you all seemed to know what you are talking about, and NO bin/iks BS! Now that I know about the Dolby/USB thing, I will be happy to just swap out HDMI cables, as needed to our respective TV's.I do want to thank you all so very much for your help, thanks to you, have have learned a bunch! All of this being said, i now am very curious, and the off topic question i mentioned earlier is. primestrar31, I noticed your location, so then do you live close to the Mighty Mac? AKA the very most TERRIFYING bridge I have ever had the pleasure of driving across! i have some very close friends, that live in Cheboygan. And I have hung out there, Makinaw city, and Levering quit a bit!

I live a bit over 160 miles South of Mackinaw City. I wouldn't say the Mackinac bridge is the scariest I've ever crossed, UNLESS it's on a windy day that isn't quite windy enough for them to shut it down for a while. THEN it's pretty scary! Some years back a woman driving a YUGO had a blast of air propel her right over the side, and down 170 feet to the water. She didn't survive...

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....

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.

Yup, I agree, I'd rather be 2 or 3 till the last few weeks.They get cruel sometimes, very very cruel.
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.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI 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.
