In the late 50's when I was in high school, there was a gas war and it was going for 19.2 cents/gallon. Now it's sometimes $5.00 for a 1 gallon. Of course a good average wage was $3.00/hour and now it's $30.00/hour or more.

I never unpaired my 54.0 remotes and the 60.0 didn't have any problems.

Guide info for OTA for main channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and PBS) but not for the OTA sub channels.

The 2 buttons that are NOT on the 60.0 are "Options" and "Recall" found on the 54 remotes.

The 'CC' and 'magnifying glass' buttons at the bottom of the remote are programable just like the diamond buttons on older remotes.

Get the same screen from time to time, but all the OTA channels are still in place so don't have to do anything.

I usually plug in the hopper3 1st and then plug in the Plus a minute or so later.

It is not necessary to reboot the Hopper 3. Disconnect power from the Plus and move the HDMI cable from the Plus and plug it into the Hopper3, it will come on with error screen, wait 10 to 20 minutes and the Hopper3 will resume it's normal operation. You can disconnect the USB connector from...

Nice to hear from you, it's always nice to have your updates.

Yes I couldn't see signal strength with the Plus connected but didn't know about the recall/info trick. Will give that a try.

Also if you disconnect the Plus and go back to just the Hopper3 the signal strength will show up, but that is kind of a pain to go through all that to see the signal strength.

on the 54 remotes you can program the diamond and double diamond buttons on the lower portion of the remote to various functions.

On Saturday at 4:30 540-01 shows USFL Football (JIP) and 540-02 shows USFL Football. What does the (JIP) mean?

Just push the "Back" button on the remote and goes to Dish.
