    Can someone help me with activating?

    I did that years ago I bought a hopper from eBay it was cheap and I just gave it a shot it was from a flea market with no guarantees that it worked. The account the receiver was linked to had an unpaid balance so it was worthless. I took out the hard drive and recycled the rest . If you are...

    H396 Software Version

    I have been having an issue lately when you start watching a program that is still recording and you start from the beginning once you skip and catch up to live it freezes. The only way to fix this is to change the channel and then go back to the original channel.

    Old ui looked cleaner to me

    You have 2 lnb , dp 34 dp 44 and a 922 heading your way. Have fun setting it up. Post how it goes. I remember those days with dishes all over my yard switches and wires everywhere. If they switch back to 110 and 119 I will have to break out the old setup.

    How to keep ANTS out of my satellite dishes

    Opened up my passenger side door yesterday and it was filled with thousands of ants in between the gaskets and door frames. I figured I would be nice and let them pick up their eggs and split . They seemed to have left after I left the door open. Today they decided to come back so no more mister...

    Dish/Echostar 1st Quarter Report

    I am at the age I can do both.

Life is...

    Rumor? Eastern arc is being retired? (Yes its just a rumor for now.)

    I hope there is a work around. 110 and 119 were very difficult to get. I have been fine with the eastern arch . If it’s switched back with no other options that may be my swan song with dish .
