My V9 (different obviously but I'm not sure how different) found a bunch of empty Dish TPs on 118 before they were finally turned off around 8/1. No channels though as they were all migrated elsewhere a couple months prior.

What I've learned since getting the V8 finder: - Connected to an LNBF, even if it's obstructed, will have a signal reading. - Make sure the LO frequency selected matches the LNBF! - If you don't already have a known transponder entered in, you'll never see a quality reading. - You can tell which...

YouTube app is malfunctioning on our H3 (H394) since yesterday. Left hand menu area empty. The videos are obviously from Mrs Pepper's profile but can't see any menu items at all. After a few minutes a menu with login screen appears. None of the previously existing accounts are there. Try to...

Wow. How much for the house, it might be easier to move to New Mexico than to move those antennas.

Which channels are missing? Are you traveling and out of the local spotbeam?

Hmm. Brand new out of the box means it would be able to take a software upgrade potentially from a different satellite - as in, is Bell Canada still using those or did they go all MPEG-4 too?

I "asked nicely" to several chat reps and got the answer that this is a standard fee that cannot be waived under any circumstances. Maybe it works better over the phone?

How did you accomplish such a feat, getting Dish to waive a fee?

Guide probably will work but I believe the DVR functions are tied to the account. I'm guessing you paid a one-time fee to enable it?

Now that Dish has ceased their international services which used Anik F3 at 118.7 W, maybe it will be used for something else. Questions that come to mind: - that satellite was circular polarity, Ku FSS band. Is the polarity scheme in the "hardware" of the satellite or controlled by the uplink...

Interesting that 77, 118, and 129 were removed when those satellites were no longer in use, but 105, 121, and 148 are still in the software.

Can't say I've seen that behavior but it doesn't surprise me. I have seen the Hopper reboot sporadically if the OTA signal is weak, even if you're not viewing that weak channel currently but it was the last thing that the OTA tuned to, still running in background I guess.

(or more accurately, no longer being used by Dish) Hopper 3 went thru a check switch procedure this morning. When done I looked and 118 is no longer in the switch matrix.

The two SuperDish (but not with the original LNB cluster) in my back yard work pretty well for a few Ku FTA satellites.

I typically use zip-ties
