    NASA TV Uplink Change

    Pretty sad when an outage goes on into a weekday and dish already has a dish on Galaxy 13 for Starz. What the heck is going on at TOC in Cheyenne? All they need to do is take the current NASA TV receiver and connect it to a spare Distribution Amp port for the galaxy 13 downlink or route a hot...

    For Dish, Slinging OTT Might Pay Off

    Dish is missing the boat, they should be selling the same package of channels available on OTT Sling to existing satellite subscribers that are out of contract.

    Dish should offer the same sling TV package for $20 to existing dish satellite subs without requiring locals.

    HD feeds being added to Welcome Pack!

    There was the AMC dispute 2 or 3 years ago and Dish gave out free Roku LTs and credit to make up for the loss of AMC to those that complained including to Welcome pack subs. After AMC settled the dispute with Dish the channel was put into free preview mode for awhile but never returned to the...

    Sun outage no longer interrupts satellite reception?

    That new picture of the 97 west dish at 2:09 pm shows that now, what are those little mirrors you used? Are they stickers or tape that contours flush to the curvature of the dish?

    Sun outage no longer interrupts satellite reception?

    The higher power used for KU band Direct To Home on 97 west and other DBS satellites does not experience a total outage the way lower powered KU band and C-band does. Since that first picture was taken only 14 minutes before it shows that the dish was shaded so that portion of your dish that is...

    Sunday fiber time! Low cost fiber fta link.

    I have been following this thread from the start since I work in Telecom. Seems like a lot of potential points of failure for going 80 feet away. It reminds me of the old Rube Goldberg machine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rube_Goldberg_machine

    Intermittent Inoperable 21.1 remote control

    Besides the things I mentioned earlier about cheap HDMI cables, USB 3.0 cables and DC power transformers, if you happen to use a MT-2 OTA module in the 722k you might want to check the 75-ohm connector, also on the home distribution settings in the 722k menu under modulator setup what channel do...

    Intermittent Inoperable 21.1 remote control

    Besides checking HDMI cables you could also check any USB cables and USB devices especially USB 3.0 devices and any external 12v or 5V power adapters near by.

    Intermittent Inoperable 21.1 remote control

    I have a FTA satellite receiver for 97 west that if it was powered on causes the TV2 remote on a 222k not to operate, I think I eventually figured out that the HDMI out was operating in the 25 mhz to 680 MHz range and either the 1.29 HDMI cable or the 6.00 3x1 HDMI switch I was using was on the...

    Dish network arbitration email

    Since this notice to opt out is not clearly stated on a monthly billing statement, either electronic or otherwise, there is no expectation of receipt, such as in the expectation of a billing statement and which is furnished regularly once every 30 days. I don't recall that I was previously...
