    iPad Deals

    I just purchased two 6th gen iPads that Best Buy had on sale for their anniversary sale. Both are 128GB capacity and were $299 each. They are replacing both the iPads the kids use. My daughter has my old Air 2 WiFi plus cellular that has one crack on the screen and won’t hold a charge and my...

    Credit Report Freezing

    My wife and I just froze all three of our credit reports due in part to the Capital One breach. Say in the future I need to temporarily unfreeze one or more bureaus, how easy would it be and does it take long if we are looking to apply for credit somewhere? We are also looking to get LastPass...

    iPhone deals with Verizon

    We have Verizon for our phone service and noticed a $150 off any smartphone over $300 deal in our Offers section of our account online. Our daughter accidentally dropped her SE yesterday and cracked the front screen. She had it for two years and in a not so great case so I’m proud that it...

    Smart Thermostats

    We have a 5 year old Nest 2nd gen and lately it’s been flaking on us with changing the thermostat temp on us by 2 degrees or so even though we aren’t changing it and we turned off the auto set feature. I don’t use Alexa and would rather not deal with a microphone if possible. What would a...

    Hulu’s horrible service

    We have Hulu with Live Service and have had a few issues with our local CBS with audio dropping/getting out of sync. Same with a few video drops. Tonight before the Super Bowl it was very bad. Of course their support always is quick to say it’s my router or the Roku. [emoji35] We ended up...

    iMac

    Anyone have the iMac 27” 5K released last year? How do you like it? My wife is using an aging custom desktop I built over 3 years ago and she’s desiring an all in one computer. B&H Photo has the 3.4GHz on sale for $1649. She primarily uses MS Office, web surfing, and MS Publisher to create...

    Issue with Satelliteguys App?

    I was using the app on my iPad and all of a sudden it logged me off. It will not let me log back in saying there's an issue with the forum, yet I can log in via the desktop just fine.

    Tecsun PL-880

    A little birdie told me I’m getting a Tecsun PL-880 amateur radio for Christmas. I’ve been looking at this radio for several months! I really do want to get into amateur radio and am hoping by tinkering with this one. Does anyone have this radio and or can give me some pointers on how to...

    Thinking of changing to OTA

    Hello! We have PS Vue but notice we primarily watch local channels with our Netflix. We’ve discussed dropping Vue and just going with an antenna. According to Antennaweb we would need a Yellow rated one. What would be a good option that would allow our 4 Rokus to access the OTA channels...

    Netflix shows PCM only?

    I know this has been discussed several times but now that I have our hopper using optical for audio and hdmi direct to our tv instead of using our AV receiver to do this we noticed Netflix on the hopper only shows PCM. On regular dish service the DD5.1 works just fine. Our hopper is on U345...

    Replacing our AV receiver

    We have a 9 year old Onkyo TXSR505 that has bitten the dust so I just picked up a Sony STRDH550 that was open box on sale for $129. Does anyone else have this receiver? Sent from my iPhone using the SatelliteGuys app!

    DISH Playmaker w/ Wally only 1 satellite?

    Is it possible to have the Wally only use 1 satellite? We are in a spot where our RV is surrounded by trees and I'm having trouble getting the check switch process to finish. When I look at the summary I can lock onto 110 easily, 119 not to easily. Sent from my iPad using SatelliteGuys...

    iCloud Storage

    We've been considering iCloud storage for our iPhone backups. Is it worth it? My understanding is you can't get a size and have multiple people share it like the Family Sharing is right? My wife could get by with 50GB for her iPhone whereas I would get 200GB since I have my iPhone and iPad...

    Thinking of getting into ham radio

    Hello! I've been thinking of getting into ham radio. I've never done this before so what would you guys recommend for a good first but affordable radio? Unfortunately I live in an HOA so I can't put up an antenna. Sent from my iPad using SatelliteGuys mobile app

    Hopper 3 video issue

    I don't know what is causing this but if we watch Netflix with the Hopper or sometimes view a Dvr recording I end up with a stretched screen when going back to a live channel. The fix has been to "set" the resolution to what it currently has. Anyone else see this? Sent from my iPad using...

    Joey to hopper Ethernet only

    I know I read that it's possible to have a Joey connect to the hopper with Ethernet only and it works. I tried this yesterday by disconnecting the coax from the Joey and just leaving the Ethernet connected. After a few reboots and rediscovering the network settings on the Joey I got it to...

    DISH Playmaker for RV

    Now that we are getting DISH set up for the house I have already ordered a Playmaker and Wally combo for our travel trailer. Does anyone else here have the Playmaker? What do you think of it? Is it easy to set up once I get to the RV park? Can it be set on our roof once we get to the site?

    New Hopper 3 install

    We are swapping our TV service from Frontier (formerly Verizon) FiOS to DISH for a few reasons, mainly so that we can have the full service in our new travel trailer and it not cost us an arm and a leg for separate service. I figured up that the new cost for DISH is very comparable, within $10...
