Iceberg,
Got the 3500 today and my initial impressions are favorable. However, I am a little confused by the differences in the dish moving features between this and the Coolsat. I think I have it figured out now but after working about four hours and doing one system reset (and swapping the Coolsat back in to reset TS) I want to make sure.
1. On the Coolsat there is basically one "position setting" for everything. You can use USALS to get to a sat and then use 1.2 to fine tune, hit "exit" and save. On the 3500 it looks to me like you use USALS to get to a sat and then save your position. Then, if you want to fine tune with 1.2 you have to save again AND (this is what threw me off) you have to select a "user defined position" to do that starting at #27. If you use "null" it will not save anything. Is this right?
2. When you first go to "Antenna Position" and then hit "USALS" there is an option for "move" and it says in the manual "move by x degrees based on your longitude and latitude). This seems to make sense. However, as soon as you go into USAL it appears that the motor moves and you start to get signal without doing anything. So what is "move" for?
3. What does "Reference Position" on both the USALS and 1.2 screens do?
Thanks in advance and sorry for all the questions.

Unless you get the new Invacom quad, you will need a DBS LNB to get NASA and the audio stuff. The KU might grab the transponder, but the signal is so low it doesnt stay stable

i tried to scan a dbs sat last week (nimik 1/3, trying for the audio) with my 304 cm (10') dish and .7 KU lnb. Sig quality was 99% on the transponder, but the few actual signals i got were so weak that i couldnt use them.Iceberg said:Unless you get the new Invacom quad, you will need a DBS LNB to get NASA and the audio stuff.

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....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

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.

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.
