I‘ve ran into similar issues with other services. But I can’t offer any speculation as to why this happens. however, I have found that in all cases this fix was to delete the existing expired card and to enter the updated card as a new card.

Yep, just found out I got H366 this morning. It took forever for me to get H365, then H366 got pushed out quickly.

On H3s, Sirius XM 73 shows up as channel 99-73.

Well, 198 turns out to be a bit of a yawner also. It’s got a very nice fall farm pastoral scene. It has turkeys, pheasants, and deer walk across the frame. There is also a Thanksgiving parade like turkey ballon float across in the distance. We also get farmer Bigfoot coming out the barn to do...

Oh boy! This month’s 199 Dishscape is pretty tame (boring). A snowy mountain scene of a stone train trestle with a dozen or so different trains slowly going by. Each train is different, but that’s it. Nothing else moves but the snowflakes. After you’ve seen all of the trains once, there’s no...

An update: The long delay for skip back/forward has started to be recording specific. For most recordings I get the now new 3/4 - 1 second delay. Annoying but tolerable. But occasionally a recording will exhibit having a 10 second delay. Nothing will fix that recording. And I can switch...

My H3 updated to 364 the other day. Everything seems to be running OK “except” skip forward and back. A single skip takes about 1 1/2 seconds, which I use a lot. Very annoying!

198 is inside the lobby of a haunted hotel. Giant spider, creepy clown, multiple ghosts, invisible man bloody footprints, thunder and lightning, Bigfoot Just on a flag, carnivorous fly eating plant, and a few other things. Fairly tame, but very good detail. No flicker or focus issues for me...

It’s on 90 on Hoppers. 9547 is likely only VIP receivers.

No need to squeeze questions ;). Sometime Windows hangs onto removable drives for some reason. It could be that you have a program open that is using (or in some cases just previously used) a file on that drive and has the drive reserved because of that. Just quit that program to cancel any...

I could be wrong, but I don’t think Dish uses any on-HD encryption (based on what was hinted at in some previous conversations). Rather, I think they encrypt the data by daisy-chaining the AES HW encryption engine, in the Broadcom SOC, to HD controller engine in the Broadcom SOC, as the data as...

Let me add some additional perspective to HD longevity issues. When I worked at a large PC company, we did some studies on HD failures. Putting general quality issues aside, we found three common reasons for most HD failures: #3 was vibration, shock movement, or quick twisting motions...

If you can’t beat them, join them. I think this is a step in my long held belief that as the “satellite” business continues to become tougher, Dish will increasingly become a streaming service instead. Think of it as the (near) exact existing Dish lineup service delivered by streaming instead...

But more to the point….. I am one of those that has always purchased and installed all my own equipment. What do I get out of doing this, control. I don’t have to waste time arguing with Dish about what kind of installation/configuration to be installed (within the bounds of what actually...

I’d say your living on borrowed time. Back in the 5XX days I had a couple of receivers that went through similar fits. In those cases it was the HD dying. Some weeks of constant reboots, then weeks of perfect operation. Then one day, dead as a door nail. Lost all my unwatched recordings. I...

I’ve never tried Tapstalk before. Could someone give a couple sentence overview of what it’s advantage is and how it is used?

Unless you buy the equipment yourself and just activate them. Correct?

Unless you don’t like the Android TV interface and have no use for any Android apps. Anything it seems that folks want to do with Android apps I can do with my AppleTV; which is stable, non-laggy, and is well supported. And using a programable remote, I also get to use one remote for...

Where I’m at OTA isn’t quite an option, so I subscribe to locals. But I only use locals for news and PBS. Anything these days on the big three (four?) is nothing junk/trash (sports excluded).

Since you are in Fresno, I assume you have a three horn Western Arc LNB. I suspect you are covering the wrong horn and picking 119 through the wrong horn. Make sure you mast is perfectly vertical. Use “Torpedo“ bubble level to check. It will have a magnetic edge on it that will hold it to the...

“16 tears”? Was that a typo or a freudian slip? ;)

You gave me my answer even before I had time to formulate the question. Thanks.

Congratulations on 20 years Scott! I remember 15 years ago when I first got Dish I went looking for online help and found you and the other site. The other site got quickly abandoned as there was just no comparison! SatelliteGuys has been my go-to site ever since. On to the next 20! (If...

Thanks. Segway Over.

Slight side question. Does a Hopper3 have the SW to use a Tailgater? Thanks.
