Hi Folks,
I'll try my best explaining what I saw...
I have a GI 650i analog C/Ku band receiver.
And I bought it on ebay back in 2004.
And is still using it and RUNNING since.
What I discovered when I was using it o
salve with the GEO SAT RO HDVR-3500 Digital FTA receiver,
for a LONG TIME........
ALL the sudden by SURPRISE my GI 650i receiver wnet
POWER OUTAGE!!!!
YES!! What really scared me is NO DISPLAYS on the front panel
of the GI 650i analog C/Ku band receiver which controls the
dish actuator arm.
It acted like POWER OUTAGE.
NO, there's NO weather storm that would cause it.
This happened 3 times in 3 months.
Once a month.
So, the most recent occurred was YESTERDAY.
May 19th.
It happened in the middle of watching STAR TREK on MeTV EAST Coast
on Galaxy 16 C-band.
ALL the sudden, I got NO signal.
At FIRST, I thought it was the wind was shaking the dish.
NO!!! I noticed NO DISPLAYS on the GI 650i receiver's front panel!!!
That's REALLY SCARED ME!!!
So, what I did to solve the problem was to....
Unplug he receive from the original outlet wall,
and plug it into a power strip from a different outlet wall.
Sometimes it doesn't work, like last month.
But this time when I plug it into a different source,
IT WORKS!!! DISPLAYS APPEARS ON FRONT PANEL!!!
It shows TIME and DATE on the front panel.
Later last night, I try plug it back into the original
outlet on the wall, where I always have since 2004,
IT WORKS!!!
Last month was worse, I had to plug it into different
source outlet wall to get the receiver power up and running
That took me almost half an hour to hope ti would be up and running.
After that, then I plug it back to the original outlet.
So, my question is for all of you, why and what's causing the
GI 650i analog receiver to have a POWER OUTAGE ALONE????
Maybe it could be electricity over loaded????
The TV and the FTA receiver, alone are fine. They do NOT
act power outage. Just the GI 650i analog C/Ku band receiver,
act alone of Power outage.
Could this be the power supply in the receiver???
Or could it be the transponder that's running.
You can feel the transponder by hand on the receiver, as well.
You can't hear it, but you can feel it. That's normal : - )))
Anyone knows why it acted POWER OUTAGE alone????
Better NOT happen next time while watching and record
an FTA channel.
It happened once before when I was watching the analog
C-band, which was the LOTTO drawing. And when that
does happen, you'll see a black screen on your TV.
That means the analog receiver is TURNED OFF
AUTOMATICALLY. But the DISPLAYS on the
front panel is still there.
NOT power outage. It just turned off itself.
So, that's the brief history of this GI 650i C.Ku band analog
satellite receiver with TURNS OFF and POWER OUTAGE,
by act it's alone.
I thought that I would give a shot by asking you folks,
are you familiar to this POWER OUTAGE act alone by
a receiver???? IF so, then WHY it's doing it by WITHOUT
NOTICE.
My brother who's a computer software engineer told me this.
"You never know what electronic is going to do," : - )))
What do you think????
So far, so good, it's still up and running, NOW at this time.
Hope all helps with answers.
Thanks,
Eugene

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.

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 ...

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.
