I saw an update notification for Slingplayer on my phone today. I don't let my apps auto update as I keep backups of the old versions as newer isn't always better in the tech world. Wow.. This update is great! The see through program guide, updated controls, and etc. The HD streams look awesome...

Is there a way to not have the dish move when doing a single sat scan? Sometimes I get a bit of slack in the motor.. I have to bump it once in the satellite setup screen. So I get a good signal and then when I scan it moves the dish again. I know I could set the sat as a diseqc position and...

Saw this story on Engadget this morning... very interesting if this turns out to be true. Dish Network rumored to have bought Clearwire's $400 million debt in secret transaction -- Engadget

So I figured I would tiddy things back up now that the microHD was working good. I took the old trusty Fortec out and put it in the closet. Straightened my wires and put everything up like it was supposed to be. I pulled up a channel and it was nothing but dropouts. I went to another...

I'm looking at putting a camera system into a location, it is residential for the most part. Just not occupied all the time, it does have an internet connection but we would like to have it store the video on a hard drive there. I would like the ability for the system to send us notifications...

I have the following items for sale: 1 - SWM16 2 - SWM8's 1- PI-29 power supply The units are brand new have never been mounted or used. I only took them out of the box to test them and put them back in the box. I was looking to sell them as a whole but would probably sell them separately...

Going to a camp next weekend and I don't want to drag a slimline swm up there. can I take my HR24 and hook it up to the single line feed 18 inch dish pointed at 101? I know I won't have HD and only one tuner. I just want it to be able to work and watch a little bit of TV.

A tech came this morning to swap a H25 for a HR24. He had to go to a SWM16 as well. Simple right? Nope..he spent 2 and a half hours here and still messed it up. I already had two RG6 cables running from my central cable point in my house so I figured he would use it. Boy was I wrong! Come...

Ok so Alcatraz got skipped in the history due Nascar. Cool feature. Two and Half Men...skipped...listed as first run in series manager. Skipped and not listed in the history. Chopper... cancelled due to programming update. There was no programming update. Its a new episode. Pawn...

I'm not going to bag on Dish all day in this thread, but I had them for a few years and they didn't meet my needs any further so I switched. I have an HR34 and 3 H25's. So far I love the setup with the 5 tuners and MRV, and each H25 has their own tuner as well...awesome combination. So after...

I have had a 722 for coming up on 4 yrs...never a lick of problems. I added a 722k about a year ago. It was brand new out of the box. 2 months later the hard drive dies. Fast forward to today. I had numerous issues with the receiver not allowing two OTA recordings at a time. I tried all...

I thought this article was interesting with the pictures of the massive spotbeam satellite with dishes deployed. Will Carlsbad company

I currently have 3 HDTV's and 2 SDTV's. One of the HDTV's is only 32 inch or so and really doesn't have to have a HD receiver. Previously I had HD Absolute with one 722 HD DVR. I had the 2nd TV output of the 722 spliced into my basic cable so any TV in the house could watch basic cable or...

How To: Update Sprint Epic 4G to Android 2.2 - BriefMobile For instructions if your phone isn't showing an update yet and you don't want to wait. The zip file you download in the instructions comes from google's servers, so it is legit.

Wow... just like I said before, the Windows Phones are going the way of the iPhone and locking everything down. Glue the SD card in the phone?? C'mon! I'd be pissed if I picked up a phone and the SD card was glued in. Guess they can't figure out a way to secure the software so they just...

Yeah I know it is something just goofed up with the guide data dish receives...but I thought it was funny. Kinda messed me up for a second though.

I have some extra time this weekend to chill...might play around with this...very cool! Video: MaxSense UI has Arrived (and it's Awesome!) WMtiTMGQD4E

I'm looking to replace my aging RPTV...57 inch...due to various reasons. I looked at various LEDs, LCDs, and Plasmas in Best Buy the other day. Sometimes you really can't tell the better pictures since I noticed they had quite a few of them with the brightness jacked up. Which technology...

Last night signals were transitioned to Echostar 14 at 119W. We always do this with just about every bird that fires up as I'm sure the engineers at Dish like a "second opinion" on all of signal readings. I also like to see the various signals based on the FCC maps. As of this writing they...

As always this information is subject to change as delays can happen. The spotbeam links will bring you to the beam maps. On 6/10, TP 14 and TP 21 will change from 5/6 FEC to 7/8, the rest of them on 6/17 will change to 7/8 FEC. I suspect the few I have heard receiving a faint signal in...
