Is anyone running a Linkbox 9000i receiver? I just received one, but I haven't had time to hook this one up. I intend to do that this weekend. I did like the fact that it has an internal power supply. With my security system and my satellite equipment, I am wall wart poor. I did look over the manual a little bit, but not extensively, and it doesn't look overly complicated to program. Any recommendations, warnings or weaknesses with this receiver?

Somehow that doesn't surprise me.
I'd like to have a 4K receiver, but I don't think it would be a Linkbox, with all things considered. I'm open for suggestions if you have a recommendation. I've seen a few on the internet, but not sure which way to go. I'm staring to see several 4K channels showing up in a scan.
i believe nasa-UHD is the only free 4k broadcast... pretty sure lyngsat shows no other 4k channelsSomehow that doesn't surprise me.
When I did a rescan the other day, it got one 4K channel on 101W that had audio but no video. I think it scanned in as UHD-1. If memory serves me, there were some encrypted channels that scanned in. I think one of them was called 4K Universe and another scanned in as a fashion channel of some kind.
I can't say for sure what satellite they were on. I deleted them because they were encrypted. No need to clutter the channel guide with channels you can't watch. I was just looking ahead to feel out the market on 4K receivers. I've got a 70 inch 4K TV and it would be nice to have a channel or two to show friends when they visit and show an interest in FTA. I didn't want to get stuck with a lemon that doesn't work right. Thanks for the reply.

It could be. It only scanned in the UHD-1 on SES-1, but there are some NASA channels on 127 West also. Three I believe.
Yes both hav it, about a yr ago 127 had 2 nasas and nasa radio, and ses1 had nasa radio and UHD, now they are both the same or closeIt could be. It only scanned in the UHD-1 on SES-1, but there are some NASA channels on 127 West also. Three I believe.
It's hard to tell which way 4K is going to go. It's kind of like 3D. Everyone rushed right out and bought a 3D TV, and there wasn't much available for it. I don't think it will happen to 4K, but I don't think it's going to take off like a rocket anytime soon. There just isn't enough internet service available in rural areas outside the reach of cable or DSL, and due to the cost, I can't see a lot of free 4K channels showing up on FTA.
Theyll prly just be nasa 4k...as far as free stuff... youtube has lots of 4k tours of norway and stuf like thatIt's hard to tell which way 4K is going to go. It's kind of like 3D.

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.
I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.
Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

Can't help but wonder if a worker overlooked checking the harness. I rarely ride a roller coaster anymore but when I do I check the harness myself pretty aggressively.
Can't imagine what the son is going through.

It makes sense, however, I would want more types of restraints, so if one doesn't work, the other does ... the restraints coming over the shoulder I would have expected ... with a Seat belt as last resort.
Fwiw, I inquired with what they use on Coasters at Cedar Point, various Coasters, different restraints according to what the car and track requires ...
NONE of the Coasters at CP use THAT particular system
I'm glad to see ...

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.

I bought the fixed color version of these bulbs for my store several years ago...work great and no more replacing ballast. Finally had one go out and when I went back to Amazon I saw that now they come in selectable versions so no more guess work as to what color light would do best in a certain area. They are now double OR single ended...used to be strictly one way or the other. If any of you are looking at replacing the old style 4 or 8 ft bulbs, you might want to give these a try. The 8 footers are BRIGHT. I put 5 in my shooting/target shed and you can get a decent tan if you are in there long enough.
