I try to keep Superman hidden until I really need him. Most of the time I'm just a mild mannered reporter.

To my great surprise the roofer did re-install the dish. They said that it was put back in the same spot using the same screw holes. I was skeptical knowing that it has to be pretty precise. I was surprised again when I did have some of my channels, but unfortunately not all. It appeared as...

Our local CBS affiliate ch. 3 in Madison Wis. recently added new higher power UHF antennas to their towers. The old VHF antennas were left in place. They advised viewers to re-scan their tv's etc. to get the new signal. When I did that on two of my tv's that have built in tuners I of course...

Ok, sounds like you have HD enabled if you are getting 4k and HDR. I don't have the plus so I'm not very familiar with the settings on that. I only have the Hopper 3. The settings under the TV icon include adjusting the screen and different resolution settings. You mentioned trying to order the...

If I installed it on a pole below where it is now it would be pointed directly into my neighbors 2 story house. It has to be on the roof (25' up)to point over their house. Other spots in my yard would have to deal with trees.

I too get a free ppv certificate every month and although I get error messages from time to time I've never seen that one. Do you have HD enabled in your settings? If you're not sure it's under the TV icon in the settings. If you have it set to 480i or 480p that could be the problem. Change the...

I called Dish today to find out what was involved in getting our dish re-installed on the roof. We're getting a new roof in a week or so and I'm pretty sure the roofer won't re-install it:) The person I spoke with told me that I would be charged a $140 fee for the service. I asked about Dish...

I also noticed that at least one of the timers(Better Call Saul) changed to a "seek" timer after the 3-4 recordings we had disappeared. So it seems that the loss of the recordings also may have messed with the shows timer.

If you mean they have already played taps over my lost recordings, yes. Being a beer drinker here in Wis. I'm also very familiar with beer taps:)

Just looked through the 50 or so timers we have and by default all say, "keep all events". Never knew exactly what that accomplished, please enlighten me. If it keeps them where are they??

Hmmm, that's interesting. Right now it says that my DVR is at 1% capacity. It can vary up to 10% but never above that. I know that indicator is not very accurate but wouldn't it show a much higher number before I experienced any recording loses?

Yes, not in trash. The OTA recordings were in their own automatically created folders. The entire folder with 3-5 recordings each disappeared. Also tried rebooting everything but they didn't come back.

Has anyone else experienced the loss of DVR recordings lately? About a week ago I noticed that several war movies that I recorded on Memorial Day(on TCM) had just vanished into thin air. The next day I realized that it was not just those movies but several other recordings were gone including...

Just found out my favorite show Seal Team is moving to Paramount + exclusively starting in Nov.:( Unfortunately(for Paramount and me) that's not enough of an incentive to pay for the service. I recently did a 7 day free trial of Paramount + and didn't see much that I really wanted to watch.

A re-scan does fix it but like a re-boot the fix is only temporary. Like I said it usually can be resolved by changing channels and then back to the problem channel but there are times when a re-boot is necessary. The biggest pain is when the channel is locked up with the error and it blocks a...
