GEOSATpro MicroHD Serial Programming
So I didn't realize if you removed a satellite without removing the channels that I'd get the infamous Micro HD boot loop. I guess I should have checked the forums more often. Haha
So fortunately I have a usb ttl cable I've had to modify to work with the geosatpro microhd programming port. I've been able to search the forums and found the steps and pinout of the microhd. However, I'm having problems getting the firmware to download to the STB.
I'm using a Prolific PL-2303 XA / HXA chip driver USB to TTL and I feel like it may be part of the problem. I had to search the internet and grab an old version that apparently works with my computer. I'm running Windows 10. ALI Editor seems to see the USB to TTL, but I keep getting the "Failed to Test Port". Also, I tried to use Putty as a COM ready to connect my TX and RX of the USB to TTL and see if I get a loop back when I type some text, but I'm not seeing anything. I think either my USB to TTL might be broke or the driver for it says it's working when in fact it's not. I also tried to research my model of the usb to ttl and the Prolific website is not clear, but sounds as if this version of the chipset is not supported by Windows 10. I feel like I've tried everything, including swapping the TX and RX pins as well as supplying external power while downloading the firmware.
Anyone, have any thoughts or ideas?

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.
