Yes. Exactly the same thing.

I took some time to check about this, but I don't know if I have discovered anything that will be of any value. I have a Hopper 3 (I don't know if it matters, but on the front it also states "with Sling") that has feeds from 110, 119, and 72. In order to try and be as accurate as possible, I...

I'm happy to check on that for you, but right now I've got some other pressing things I need to attend to. I'll see what I can do as soon as I can.

My account service address is listed as New York City, but I'm not physically there, so I can't see the spotbeams. Here is some information for your list that I can see: Channel Type Network Satellite, Transponder 2 SD WCBS (CBS) 110, TP 01 4 SD WNBC (NBC) 110, TP 01 5 SD...

Just set up your account with an address in New York City. If you aren't able to pick up the spotbeam, you will have the New York City locals in SD.

Oh! I don't know if I've ever pushed that button when just watching TV (I use it when I want to transfer a program from the DVR to the external hard drive, though). I just did it, and it showed that only 1 tuner out of 16 was in use (the channel that was on at that time). No programs were...

I hate to admit this, but I don't know how to do that. I checked the menu to see if I could find anything labeled "TV Activity", but I didn't have any luck. I'd be happy to do it if you'll tell me how.

Thanks for this. However, the other day when I was checking, the Hopper 3 was the only thing on (both Joeys were off), there were no programs recording, and it was in the middle of the afternoon, so no prime time (not to mention the fact that I can't see any spotbeams anyway). So even though I...

Let me start off by stating that I realize that many of you know way more about all of this stuff than I do (although no one knows as much as what's going on as the folks at Dish - all of us are only speculating). However, what about this: I'm only counting 19 transponders on Echostar 11...

In my experience, yes, the channel loads properly, the Info>Recall method shows the correct satellite, but the Home x3>Dish method may or may not give the correct information.

Exactly! This type of stuff is the same thing that I have experienced. Totally unreliable, inconsistent, and therefore, nearly useless.

Ha! To be honest, as I mentioned before, I really don't watch the ACC network this time of year. However, even if you had posted news about a channel taken down that I do watch regularly, I certainly wouldn't be mad at you for being the messenger. In fact, it would be quite the opposite - I...

That's fantastic. Thanks for the great news. I'm looking forward to watching my NC State ball games in HD.

I don't know when I lost it, although I suspect it was when zippyfrog posted all of those changes. I only use the ACC network to watch NC State football and men's basketball, so I haven't had a need to watch it lately. I am only able to pick up CONUS beams (no spots).

Thanks ethanlerma . That's true. That time got a little ugly, and I would prefer to not have that happen again, either. I'd like to just mind my own business and enjoy my perfectly legit and paid for Dish service (albeit, not actually on US soil).
