    Local Channels 119 Shutoff?

    The only thing received was the info banner for WOWK CBS 13 for the Nexstar dispute. The channels showed up in the guide. When trying to tune to one of the channels it just comes up blank with no error messages. I tried receiver reset with no change. Only one transponder on 119 read 0 which I...

    Local Channels 119 Shutoff?

    Have all the local channels been taken off of 119? A friend had a phase 3 dish for a long time and just lost the local channels this past week in the Charleston/Huntington WV DMA. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    SWM lnb types

    What if multiple receivers would be needed in an MDU environment such as a hotel that can be connected to splitters and switches? Which lnbs would work in those cases? I may want to make sure if I get some in bulk that it will work for different situations. I occasionally am called to replace...

    SWM lnb types

    What is the difference between the different Directv SWM lnb types such as sl3s4nr2-14 sl3s4nr5-01 3D1LNBR0-01 3D2LNBR0-01 3D2RBLNBR0-14 (reverse band?) and which ones will work for the markets that only require the Sl3 lnb for just a standard slimline setup to a single tuner receiver?

    Returning Joey We Don’t Use Anymore

    I deactivated a Joey and they didn’t ask for it back and didn’t charge me for it.

    WRAL, WRAZ off Dish menu in North Carolina

    I wonder if this is why there was an ad I just saw, specifically targeted at DISH customers, listing all the other stations that were taken off the air stating it’s over 200 channels that were removed, on a local station (Nextstar) that was removed but placed back on the air after a multi year...

    Nexstar Media Group threatens largest local station blackout in TV history, according to DISH

    I looked for location guard on chrome extensions and could not locate it. I edited my location to LA on my chrome browser and that didn’t work. It shows “oops something went wrong please reload the page and try again. Your DMA not detected” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Nexstar Media Group threatens largest local station blackout in TV history, according to DISH

    I would lose my Steelers football games as most of them broadcast on my local CBS Nexstar station. I know next Sunday will be on NBC though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So, I'm leaving Dish after 20+ years...

    Just be sure not to call Suddenlink unless you really have to because they will charge you $60 to come to your house even if it’s their fault and it takes a message to the Better Business Bureau to get the fee removed. I had their Internet for a year but they’re supposed 400 Mb package which was...

    Switching from 211 signal to Joey signal on boat when coming ashore

    I have connected a wireless device (making it a wireless bridge) to a Joey a while back (that wasn’t a wireless Joey) and got it to work. A hardwired Ethernet has a limit of around 330 feet so it might give me a little more. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys

    Switching from 211 signal to Joey signal on boat when coming ashore

    His home is on shore his Joey runs off of the Hopper. I figured a modulator was needed for the Joey since there is no coax output. If he does not want a wireless Joey or the wireless will not reach but wants a switch that will switch the dish outputs from the boat dish to the dish on shore...

    Switching from 211 signal to Joey signal on boat when coming ashore

    I have a guy that has an automated dish for his 211 while on the boat. He wants to switch to the Joey when he comes ashore. He wants it as simple as plugging it into the boat when he connects his phone and other stuff up and be able to push a button to change the satellite feed from his boat...

    DISH to Become National Facilities-based Wireless Carrier

    I have been thinking for a while that Dish needed to get into the wireless business in order to continue as a business, to be able to diversify and bundle. I have also been thinking for a while that LEO satellites is the future for communication (data, phone, tv, etc). I am very very surprised...

    DISH & 5G Discussed on TWiT (This Week in Tech)

    I first started watching Leo Laporte back in the early 2000's on Dish Network when it was ZDTV then Tech Tv then G4 TechTv. They relaunched the Screen Savers as The New Screen Savers online. I always thought they would relaunch shows online eventually. They ended The New Screen Savers the end...

    Which dish for self install?

    The receiver wouldn't know that it was not authorized or would not be able to be authorized or get any hits from the satellite without a signal so a system requiring authorization before getting signal screen wouldnt be possible.

    DISH Network Reports Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

    With a profit margin much less than satellite I am sure but their expense is much less too and with some price increases it will start to catch up. I knew years ago that internet streaming would take over as the primary source eventually.

    Messages thru the Hopper.

    Directv had the messages feature on some of their receivers too if I am not mistaken. I think I remember a few messages in the past on the legacy receivers.

    The future is wireless. I think LEO satellite technology will be how we get our internet, cell and tv service in the future. Waiting on starlink and other providers. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys

    ATSC 3.0 to be Deployed in 40 U.S. Markets by End of 2020

    Since Sinclair is participating and I see Charleston West Virginia on the list and they own ABC 8 and FOX 11 in that market then I take it that they can just put FOX 11 on their ABC sub channel and offer the ATSC 3.0 on the FOX 11 station. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys
