Defective SD Box ?

I have a SWM 5 setup with one H24-700 (working fine) and one d12-100. The SD box needs either a reset/restart from the menu OR pull of power plug EACH day, even tho power and box remain on overnight. The sd box has both an av and s-video connection. Sometimes, it takes an entire SYSTEM power down to get the SD box working again.

Thanks for all helpful and prompt replies! I will be getting a replacement HD box from DirecTV soon. One problem that I will have is that now I run a coax line OUT OF the SD box over to a small TV in the kitchen. I was wondering if anyone knows a way/converter to go the distance to the TV via cable from the HD box ??

You are using the D12 as a 'tuner' and have that small TV on channel 3/4? You will run into issues trying to use HDMI at the same time you are outputting to a second TV, so assuming your first TV is HD use component cables for it instead of HD, and for the second TV connect it via composite. If you don't have composite input on that small TV you'll need to buy a channel 3/4 modulator, which costs about $10 off eBay or Amazon.

So, I need a composite (W,R,Y) to Coax cable to get to kitchen tv, and use a Component (R,G,B) connection for the main HD TV instead of HDMI?

You'll want to make sure you have the w/r connected for the audio, the the RGB for the Video.

Right now I have a 40' or so coax running from the sd out to tv port to the coax port on the basic mini kitchen tv. The sd box has a s-video to the HD capable tv. I will be replacing that sd box with the hd box.

You won't get HD with coax, that I know of, unless theres some addl. box that does that.

Understood, just want to get the signal, via existing 40' coax, to the non HD small kitchen TV, over the existing 40' coax from the hd box, while also getting the best HD on the HD box/HD TV (in bedroom) itself

That being the case, look at post 10 by Slice ...
Its a shame ... these are the things you use to get locally, didn't have to go to ebay or amazon ... you could just run down to the store and pick it up and have it and be done.

Walmart has them for like $10-$20.

If your thinking Rat Shack, try $40. Although I miss the place, they ran themselves out of business selling over priced accessories.

As I am troubleshooting this 2nd replacement HD which I just received, I find that this no signal issue may actually have something to do with the Hannspree TV? I have a coax connected from the camper antenna connected directly to the TV, I have an HDMI from the TV to the DirecTV HD box. When I turn on the TV which is set to HDMI input, I get the NO signal. If I switch to the TV input, I get a picture from the camper antenna. THEN, if I switch BACK to the HDMI input, IT WORKS!

Jimbo, the destination travel trailer has 2 satellite in connections on the outside. I have the 2 connection splitter right out there. Inside, each Directv box is connected with a short coax to 1 of the 2 cable outputs embedded in the camper at each tv location (main room and bedroom), The other coax connection, which comes in from the HD antenna on top of the unit goes directly to the TV. The Hisense TV that came with the camper (and is at the main location) is working fine, while my Hannspree tv in the bedroom is having this issue. I had an SD box in the bedroom b/4, but now have the H24-200 box and it works well ONCE I re-select an input source each time I power it on and it says "no signal" via the HDMI1 it is now set to. Again, I have to use the TV controller to select any other input source, whether an actual connection or not, and then re-select the HdMI1 - and then the DIrectv signal comes right up. I believe all the wiring and internal camper connections are working fine. I think it may be an issue within the TV, AND I was wondering why the DIrectv remote will not LET me select a CHANGE in the input source when the TV Input button is clicked - even tho it does DISPLAY all of the Input Sources available.

Thanks for the break down, now I have a better idea what your doing ...

I didn't know that you had them working previously ... my experience with RV's is that the outside feed goes into a "media box and that often times is the issue.

Heres an obvious question, have you been able to find the correct codes for the D* remote to work your TV ?
Often times there are more than one and while one of them may work for you, it might be another one that also allows the input button to work.
Have you tried them all , or is this a box that sets up the remote automatically ?

Jimbo., I did the auto setup of the remote (and I also tried the RF remote from the other main TV which had the same tv input display shown but the "no change" of tv input issue). Each remote works fine with the on/off, and volume, etc., just that the TV input displays BUT cannot select a different source. Thank you much! I might try all the different codes to see if that might correct it, but could it just be something in the TV itself? I have emailed Hannspree support hoping to get some response ...

Radio Shack was great to have before you could order stuff on the internet, because it was the only place to find a lot of stuff - and even if other places have modulators if you went to Radio Shack and asked where they were they'd actually know what you were talking about. If you know what you want it is a lot easier to place an order on your butt than get in your car, even if they had stuff at the same price as online.

eBay is basically a Radio Shack the size of 10,000 city blocks, but with everything in alphabetical order so if you don't know what you're looking for you're SOL! :biggrin

No signal is a function of the Tv, not the Directv box

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Stargate SG-1 Discussion

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.

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.
