He is saying that it is a chip soldered onto the board of your receiver. My receiver has a card slot, but it is empty (no card). Still, my receiver is working just fine and reports a smart card number on the info screen. What does yours say on the info screen?

Is that legally possible? I would expect that the all that provider data is copyrighted and that Dish would have to pay license fees to all those different entities to be able to directly use that data.

No matter what the truth may be, do you think that it is more likely that they would say: A. No, we don't allow that and no one else does either, so don't look at other places, keep your loved one (and the associated money) here. -Or- B. Well, we don't allow it, but other places may. Please...

I believe that Verizon is the only carrier still supporting 3G, but they are turning that off at the end of this year (2022).

HBO Max stopped working on both of my FireSticks. It said that my subscription through Dish had expired. I had to sign out of both, and go back though the whole authorization thing with a PC for both.

Did you try it with the antenna not connected to the adapter, just to see if you could get to the scan channels part? If it would work (no channels received, of course) without the antenna, it might point to a ground imbalance or some such issue.

This fits. I have a Genesis G80 that is going to lose its data services (long distance remote start and such) at the end of the year due to 3G being turned off. And 3G is being turned off at least in part due to being replaced by 5G (and LTE before that).

Unfortunately, that one wouldn't work for me. It is IR only, so it couldn't control my Fire Stick or my lights, and it couldn't be controlled from my home automation. The hub /w remote really is (okay - was) a great setup.

AFAIK, they no longer manufacture any. Maybe selling off new-old-stock, or refurbs? I get "unavailable nearby" and no option to order one. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/logitech-harmony-elite-remote-control-and-smart-hub-black/4314901.p?skuId=4314901

It seems like what they lack is any group to do full regression testing on all the different versions of H3 hardware that they have fielded, and also they may not be testing with all the different ways that users have set options on their H3s. There's also all the different setups with...

It uses IR codes from a Harmony hub to control it. The TV remains powered all the time.

Yes, that could be interesting. I have an auto tune timer to set the channel to the local news every morning. I was a little surprised to see that it also turns the hopper on (green light is on already when I come down in the morning). In my case, it is not turning my surround receiver or my...

Seems like that would be exactly what they don't want, losing them more revenue.

Way back when OTA TV channels were still analog, I modulated the output of my security DVR and combined it with the OTA antenna feed. That way, it was just a different channel to tune to, either via the Dish OTA tuner, or the TV's tuner. After moving to the digital age, I have a network NVR...
