    Questions about the Sofabaton Universal Remote

    Well, I don’t know about you, but I have a Harmony Universal Remote and it works great for controlling all the devices in my Home Theater. The problem is the Harmony remote we have is old, experiencing polymer degradation (i.e., its soft-touch case is “sticky” to the touch), and it’s on it’s...

    Star Trek: Prodigy

    I think I might have to pay for more Netflix…

    Dish Anywhere on Apple TV

    I see it as a way to expand my options while on vacation. An AppleTV 4K doesn’t take up much room in my Pipe-Full-o-Fun-Kit #7 (my bag of techno-goodies) and I have tested watching DVR and OTA content. We will see how well this works outside of our home.

    Godzilla Minus One

    I watched it on Netflix and it was all in English (except for signs and correspondence in Japanese which had English subtitles). The movie itself was fantastic! I grew up with the black & white “man in a rubber suit stomping through miniature Tokyo set” and the CGI was excellent. I heard this...

    YouTube Demonetized My Channel for Invalid Traffic - Your Help Needed

    So, does watching Tyler’s videos on SatGuys screw him by showing these coming from a third-party?

    Dish Anywhere on Apple TV

    Wow, thanks for letting us know! I’m trying it out now, watching “Twelve O’Clock High” I was finally able to record after putting the Timer in over three years ago. The controls seem to work nicely with the AppleTV remote. The video quality looks as good as from my Joey, and over the Gigabit...

    Question about ViP 211 and 211k Support for Vacation Home

    That was part of the original troubleshooting. Of course, after ordering the 211k, by Brother-in-Law says it came back Monday morning and it’s been working okay since then. And then find out today that for $10 more, the Wally now can fall back to Internet streaming of a live Satellite channel...

    Wally software update W573

    Well, great, that sounds like an awesome feature to have. I wish I knew that was available before I replaced the 211 that flaked out with the 211k instead of the Wally.

    Spring Cleaning?

    I’m not sure if this is a Spring Cleaning victim or if it was one of the Plug-ins that got retired, but I no longer see the “Previous” and “Next” threads after the last post in a thread.

    Spring Cleaning?

    I’m not really liking how all the Social Influencers have all been combined into one Super Forum. I liked it better when each Influencer was organized by their own channel.

    Question about ViP 211 and 211k Support for Vacation Home

    Is the 211 EHD compatible with the Wally? Or does it get re-formatted and you lose the programs on the EHD?

    Question about ViP 211 and 211k Support for Vacation Home

    Well, after checking with my Brother-in-Law about the status of the ViP 211, I guess we're pronouncing it an "RiP 211" :rip The ViP 211k replacement has been ordered from Solid Signal, which is the same source for the 211k ordered back in November 2015.

    Question about ViP 211 and 211k Support for Vacation Home

    Yeah, I kinda dropped the ball on that part of the story. I had thought that once it took the activation hit that it would be good, but a text from my Brother-in-Law a few hours later said the screen had gone black and it wouldn’t reset. The rest of the story can be found in the SatelliteGuys...

    Question about ViP 211 and 211k Support for Vacation Home

    Well, it looks like we’re back to Plan B (as in Buy). The question I will put forth now is Wally or 211k? With the 211k I know we’ll have a familiar system that will slide right in, no doubt. Once on the account, it will be able to use the same external HD for DVR functionality we’re use to...

    Question about ViP 211 and 211k Support for Vacation Home

    This pair of receivers has been used every year since they went up a decade or so ago. I did get ahold of a Online Dish CSR and they suggested the one thing I hadn't had my Brother-in-Law do is pull the SmartCard, reinstall it, and then do a Power Down for 15-30 seconds and power it back up. So...

    Question about ViP 211 and 211k Support for Vacation Home

    I have a question for the experts. My Sister and Brother-in-Law arrived at our northern vacation home and my B-i-L was able to log in an activate the account online. The one ViP 211k came up in minutes, but the older ViP 211 is still showing Unauthorized. He has power-plug reset several time, I...

    Scott, the best sound to an IT analyst is the sound of their telephone not ringing. Congratulations on getting things to Stable-1…

    Spring Cleaning?

    I think as many times as we referenced Scott Manley’s YouTube videos on a variety of space-related topics, his channel would make a good addition to that Forum.

    Apple Event - May 7, 2024 (New iPads!)

    I got what they were trying to get across, “We’ve managed to get all this Photo, Music, Video, Writing, Gaming, etc., creativity into the new iPad Pro, and managed to squeeze it all into an even thinner case.” No one must watch the Hydraulic Press Channel on YouTube…

    Apple Event - May 7, 2024 (New iPads!)

    I looked at the 13” iPad Air as a possible improvement for my Mother-in-Law with eyesight issues. The larger screen real estate would allow for larger icons and clearer text. The downside would be the increased weight, fingerprint reader/screen button, and smaller bezels. Plus, she would need...
