    Voting feature?

    Is this to replace the Like feature, something in addition creating confusion or is it something that mysteriously enabled itself?

    T-Mobile Breach

    Perhaps I'm living under a rock and everyone already knows about this but if you're a T-Mobile customer (or perhaps were one), you should know about this: https://www.vice.com/en/article/akg8wg/tmobile-investigating-customer-data-breach-100-million

    Windows 10 may cause soiling(If Malicious File Downloaded)

    An odd behavior has been discovered with Windows 10 and NTFS where viewing a file in Windows Explorer may soil your hard drive. The problem may be fixed by allowing Windows 10 to initiate an automatic CHKCSK on reboot. Microsoft says they're working on it, but being aware of what is going on...

    The CableCARD experiment is over

    While it hasn't yet made much of a splash, it appears that the FCC has finally given up CableCARD as a failed experiment. https://www.nexttv.com/news/fcc-abandons-cablecard-navigation-devices-rule-review This perhaps doesn't bode well for TiVotees and fans of the HDHomerun Prime as the FCC...

    Big cookie or header error

    Today I've been getting a 400 error when using my usual browser (Firefox) about "Request header or cookie too large". The offending cookie doesn't appear to be one from www.satelliteguys.us or satelliteguys.us as if I clear all of those, the problem remains. Does anyone have any insight as...

    Notification e-mails are missing the synopsis

    Has anyone else noticed that the synopses are missing from the notification e-mails? Normally the e-mail has the thread title (that doubles as a link to the post) followed by the text of the post and a thread link button. Now the thread title is followed immediately by the thread button.

    Repack phase assignment by callsign?

    I've figured out a roundabout way of doing it, but I think it would be handy to have a query that allows the user to find out what phase a particular station is scheduled to be part of based on the callsign. If such a query already exists, perhaps it could be made more prominent/obvious. My...

    Format [*] on OTA channels?

    Like a thread from July 2013 but the opposite problem. My SD OTA channels are zoomed and scrolling through the formats has no effect. The top and bottom are whacked and the image fills the screen horizontally. DISH Chat went on and on about the Hopper needing to be told what resolution to...

    White Space Reduction Act Of 2014

    I'd like to see the amount of blank space significantly reduced. Having a mini multi-line biography and a large avatar to the left of everyone's post seems like a considerable waste of real estate.

    I just received an e-mail asking for a DISH Network account number from a gmail.com address. This seems rather suspicious though I did sign up for a DISHOnline beta test. Does anyone know whether or not this is legitimate?:confused:
