    Thoughts on December 2023 SXM App Update

    First impressions... um, worst app update in the history of app updates. They wrecked it. New interface is awful, favorites are buried in the menus and the skip forward and reverse 15 seconds buttons have been replaced with a rewind one hour button. Someone, or the whole team if it was a...

    I have been a subscriber to MLB "At Bat App" through Apple iTunes since around 2011. Last year I subscribed to MLB.TV for the first time in response to an email offer I received for half off the remaining season from my separate MLB account, which I had from buying tickets over the last few...

    Dish Bill Going Up $42.00 in May?

    Did Dish just put in a massive increase that I didn't hear about? I was checking my bill and I see that my May bill is going up $42 in May. The only thing I see on the bill is a notice that Dish Protect is going up a dollar and some prorated charges and prorated credits. I did not change...

    What is needed to swap 4K Joey for second (owned) H3?

    My current setup is 1 H3 and 2 4K Joeys. I have a EA dish with hybrid LNB, which feeds a hybrid solo hub in my basement. All Dish equipment is fed from the solo hub in the basement. I purchased a previously loved H3 from a SatelliteGuys member and I want to swap it in for one of the 4K Joeys...

    Ever see diagonal framing?

    My neighbor across the street is building a new home and it is all diagonal framing. I have never seen this before. I would think this would make finding centers a real challenge. Spoiler alert: I'm no builder!!

    Free To A Good Home

    In the spirit of paying it forward I would like to give my Dish Network Bluetooth Dongle away free to anyone that can use it. This dongle was graciously given to me by Scott a few years back when he got a supply of them when they first came out. I no longer need it now that all of my Dish...

    Dying HWS

    This has been going on since the fall. Family Room HWS loses DVR functionality and warning saying hard drive services are unavailable. Sometimes a hard reboot by pulling the plug for a minute gets it back so you can watch live TV and sometimes the DVR even comes back and it is fine for weeks...

    I am looking to get my Mom (76 Y/O) basic TV service on the cheap. My Dad passed away about a year ago and at the time they had Spectrum triple play with HD & DVR in 2 rooms and the bill was $200 a month. Mom could not afford to keep that going.

    Canon Network Printer Madness

    I had a Canon MX 870 network printer for several years that I never had any problems with until the print head finally gave up the ghost. So I decided to replace it with a new Canon printer since I have always been a fan of their equipment. I am not an IT guy by any stretch, but usually can do...

    HDMI-CEC Problem on HWS

    HDMI-CEC on my Family Room HWS has hijacked my Denon AVR. I went to watch a BluRay last night and I couldn't get my Denon AVR to stay on the BD input. It kept changing back to the Satellite input no matter how many times I did it. Then on of my kids told me that they had noticed this a couple...
