Has anyone figured out a fix for lack of skip forward on a show that is recording? I started a record on my Hopper 3, paused to continue watching on a Joey in my living room, then couldn't skip forward. Each time I tried skip the show would return to the beginning of the record. This has been...

I think this was expected but a 4-0 vote by the FCC seals it. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/05/fcc-saves-starlink-from-5g-interference-backing-spacex-in-fight-against-dish/

Another solution is a humbucker. It's what we used when I worked in broadcast TV. (Not the guitar pick up.) I think ADC still makes one. HUM-1? It has a transformer in the ground path to effectively isolate the hum. It uses a BNC connector so you'd need BNC to F adaptors. Maybe someone makes a...

Is your receiver connected to the internet? Streaming?

It would make sense that the sub would transmit the hum louder. (60hz) Can you run a temporary cable from the Hopper to the Joey? Just to double check the coax. The other possible solution, albeit not a great one, is lifting the ground on the receiver. I had a Carver receiver years ago that...

I just connected the Hopper and the Joey via Ethernet to the network switch. I think it creates its own moca path so they don’t interfere with the other computers and Wi-Fi network plugged into the switch. I did have to restart the Joey a couple of times for it to connect to the Hopper but after...

I've had a wireless Joey on my deck for three years and got tired of the dropouts (the access point was 10 feet away on the other side of the wall) so I ran RG 6 and Cat 6 to the deck. I use the Cat 6 to feed the Joey even though Dish doesn't support it. It works great and the dropouts have...

The current iPhone 13 already supports the frequencies Dish will operate on. Specifically n29 (700mhz), n66 (AWS3) and n71 (600mhz) bands I suspect the newest Samsung does as well.

Read this article this morning. https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/dish-network-celero-5g-smartphone-hands-on-review/ My question is, will Dish use its new 5G network to create a Home Internet service (like Verizon and AT&T) for the specific purpose of streaming Sling or some other...

Tegna's CEO Dave Lougee is trying to sell the company. If he can get an outrageous contract from Dish he can justify a higher sales price which puts $$$ in shareholders pockets.

Just an FYI. There are very few fully 4K production trucks out there. Most have a few cameras and a playback or two in full 4K but the video switchers up until recently couldn't broadcast a full 4K show. (Not enough bandwidth) Here's a recent article on one of the first full 4K trucks...

I agree there are issues with the streaming services now but think about 5 years down the road when the technology catches up with the vision. In addition the networks won’t be hamstrung by the FCC.

The one point everyone seems to be missing in the free OTA discussion is the move by the networks to streaming services. There is no mandate that the major networks provide programming to local broadcasters for OTA. As we’ve seen CBS, NBC and ABC via Disney+ have the ability to bypass the...

NBC has nothing to do with this. Tegna owns multiple stations that are affiliated with all three networks. ABC, NBC, CBS,and FOX. It's well know that these large media corporations have changed their business model to try and grow their revenue through upped carriage fees instead of creating...

Excellent.
