I am waiting for the day when we will no longer have to file. I think it might be a very long wait.

How to use your Flip Phone for weather detection. Take you flip phone outside. If it gets wet it is probably raining. If it has white flakes on it, it is probably snowing. If the phone breaks you are probably in a hail storm. If it blows out of your hand, you could be in a Tornado or a...

I used Turbo Tax a few years ago. I found it to be a pain to use as it would NOT do any updates. The last 3 years I have used H&R Block tax software. It updates with no problems and it has no annoying ads and it was a bit cheaper then Turbo Tax.

UPDATE: I ordered the the new 60.0 Remote from Dish. It arrived in a few days. I like the way way it works. What I really like is that the Mute button is up near the top. I did not like the position on the Mute button on the 54.0 remote. Half of the time my finger would hit the channel two...

Thanks for your response. I will contact my local dish dealer on Monday to see if they sell it at a reasonable price. If not I will order it directly form Dish.

I see Dish has a newer remote. It is version 60.0. They want $20.00 online ($27.60 with tax and shipping). Amazon is showing it for $29.00 with free shipping but I can get it free with my Amazon reward points. It also says it maximum range is 30 feet, but on the Dish site it says it has a 150...

So why don't you want to just upgrade to the latest Hopper 3? I have had one for over 3 years and it has had no problems.

I have been having this pixilation problem for over a year on ABC. I live near Rapid City South Dakota. Anything I record to the DVR is using the OTA channel for ABC. I have not seen this pixilation using the OTA ABC channel. The other broadcast stations are fine.

Jimbo. The ABC OTA is really good. The signal strength is around 80% to 86% depending on the cloud cover. I have an outdoor antenna on a mast about 20 feet in the air. The biggest complaint was from my wife when she watched Jeopardy or Will Trent. The recordings were really bad most of the time...

ABC is not having the issue. It is a Dish satellite rebroadcasting issue.

The Dish Tech Guy was looking on his phone. His app was was showing that other states were having this same issue.

Rapid City South Dakota. Mainly Channel 3, ABC KOTA. A few times on Channel 15 CBC KCLO. I have a Dish OTA module and an outside antenna. I get really good signals with it and have switched ABC to the OTA channel for recording. It has been a whole lot better now using OTA. The Dish technician...

I has been about a month now. Lately it has been getting worse.

I had a Dish service call last week. I was getting bad pixelation on ABC. The tech checked my system and said that everything was fine. The problem was nationwide. Dish was having trouble with a satellite that rebroadcasts ABC on channel 3 and CBS on channel 15 sometimes. There was nothing he...

Maybe it is because Canada uses the metric system.:):p
