    Question about ViP 211 and 211k Support for Vacation Home

    I have a question for the experts. My Sister and Brother-in-Law arrived at our northern vacation home and my B-i-L was able to log in an activate the account online. The one ViP 211k came up in minutes, but the older ViP 211 is still showing Unauthorized. He has power-plug reset several time, I...

    Do you need to upgrade to a high-definition marine dish?

    If you’ve enjoyed life on the water all summer, you’re probably thinking of packing it in about now. It’s about to turn colder, and that means getting that boat packed up for the winter. It’s also the perfect time to talk about upgrading. Still rockin’ that standard def setup? Back in...

    Fiber optics are a big part of any new commercial installation. They get information from place to place faster and more efficiently than copper wiring. It’s also less expensive and easier to implement than ever before. However, there are some truths about fiber optics that are impossible to...

    Hopper 3 Software H375

    I manually updated my two Hopper 3 receivers to software H375. My Joey 3 remained at J573. I have not checked for a while but today I noticed that the MAC addresses of my two Hopper3 receivers and my Joey 3 client in my Netgear Nighthawk router all match the MAC address shown in the units. I...

    NICE AND EASY: What is a multiswitch?

    Practically speaking the multiswitch ship sailed a few years ago. No need to recycle old blog posts.

    Wow, haven't thought about the peek & poke commands since using my Apple II+ back in the mid-80s. Thanks for the memory.

    Why does dish network down convert some channels to SD?

    Did you really mean to type 14 and not, perhaps, just 4? 14:1 is surprisingly large to me. That’s too bad that NASA doesn’t get enough viewing, though limiting it to SD must drive away a significant portion of the people who would otherwise want to watch it. It’s kind of sad to think that...

    If I switch to DISH from DIRECTV on my boat, will I get my local channels back?

    This is a big, big reach. As DIRECTV goes back to moving HD channels to 101W, this is likely to be a loss for Ku dome users.

    NICE AND EASY: What is a multiswitch?

    It’s sort of a traffic system for satellite TV signals. Multiswitches were born out of necessity in the early days of satellite television, and they’re still around today. Every modern satellite TV system has one, although they are often built into the dish itself. Let’s take a look at this...

    FUN FRIDAY: Shiny crap into space

    A couple of weeks ago I ran into an old article on Gizmodo entitled, “Hey Artists, Stop Putting Shiny Crap Into Space.” The thrust of the article is simple. Putting things into space is now so cheap that we can do it just for art’s sake. They point to this installation, called the Orbital...

    Why does dish network down convert some channels to SD?

    I beieve Nasa TV is the only channel they do that to. And the reason for it is bandwidth. I believe one HD channel takes up the space of 14 SD channels. DISH can tell how many people are watching any channel at any times. And I am guessing the viewership on NASA is not that big to support...

    Why does dish network down convert some channels to SD?

    I'm a big Space/Universe/Astronomy fan and am glad dish carries NASA official channel 286. But NASA has been broadcasting their official channel in HD for over 10 years now. Why is it only in SD on my dish? It looks so bad, especially after being used to HD for this many years. I found this...

    Well, we'll always have Monaco. What is insane is Kyle Larson is busy trying to prove he is a great race car driver and talks of rain are meaning he could pull out of the 500, to race in Charlotte. Yak! The weather forecast is getting grim for Sunday with some ingredients lining up for...

    Dish Protect Question

    I had to do the same, but due to a roof replacement. The new tech didn’t point it as well, and I lost 3-4 points on all my transponders. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dish Protect Question

    It’s a $30 fee if allowed by your state. I just canceled mine and did have to pay the $30 fee. It’s also spelled out in the terms of the agreement. If you were trying to save money on the $95 technician fee, and you’re canceling after a month, you’re still saving a good amount of money...
