    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...

    Dark Matter - AppleTV+

    I started watching this tonight. Hmmm, are you cheating on your wife if you kiss her in another universe?

    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...

    Maybe Don has it on Ignore? Or, the first post is (was) an Ignored post/poster? It’s meStevo in case that helps.

    Elsbeth-CBS

    We’re continuing to watch. Murder Detective shows seem to have settled into two lanes: in one lane, we are presented with a murder and pick up the clues along with the Detective; in the other, we meet the murderer and the murdered, learn why and how the murder occurred, then watch as the...

    3 Body Problem - Netflix

    I finally fired up the Netflix account (actually, they had purged it, so I guess I am starting over again from scratch!) and watched “3 Body Problem”. Now, since I had watched this over on Amazon Prime Video (and read the subtitles) I was rather surprised at the pace of the Netflix version...
