    Wind effect

    The tech just left. He installed two support bars on the dish. My highest signal strength was 60 so he made several adjustments and installed a new LMB. With that bad of signal strength I expect the problem will be greatly improved. Very knowledgeable and personable tech. Very satisfied.

    Tech coming out Thursday AM. Dish mounted on edge of roof. Ran test and it showed two errors.

    State of things with Dish?

    Maybe you better check that. Looks to be very strong. I just wondered if the cost of a lawsuit will hinder progress. I certainly hope not but things change so fast anymore. It wasn't that long ago there was no Netflix, or Amazon or, or 4K, or the ability to stream at all. Take the new Star Trek...

    No trees at all. Guess I'll just have to live with it. It beats snow.

    Wind effect

    I physically checked the dish and connections. Everything seemed rock solid. It's windy and raining right now and I am watching a locked up picture and a lost signal message. It's our rainy season here in Arizona now.

    State of things with Dish?

    There was a thread here earlier regarding Dish's lawsuit against streamers using KODI for pirated movies and TV shows. Will this type of thing pose a serious threat to Dish going forward?

    Wind effect

    I've been having quite a bit of wind the past week. Several times my signal has been lost. This has made half a dozen or more recordings unwatchable. I'm talking 20-25 mph winds. The dish itself seems to be very secure as are all connections. Just wondering if this is normal.

    Directv 4K channels

    Has "D" indicated what future programming is projected for channel 104? For instance, for the past 2 months they have shown episodes 1 and 7 of season 7 of River Monsters. Approximately 20 times each of just those two episodes.

    Dish Network Sues Kodi Add-On Library “TV Addons

    Reasonable price is the key. Reasonable to who? How is it that a movie still in the theater can be be streamed in 1080p quality to your android device, for free? The technology is way beyond me but how is this material obtained in the first place? Why can so many people get it? Why would they...

    Dish Network Sues Kodi Add-On Library “TV Addons

    I've been around a long time and well remember the fiasco of Napster And this seems eerily similar. When you start looking at copyright laws in the United States you really open a convoluted can of worms. I just read an article written by a retired Copyright lawyer. He places the majority of...

    Dish Network Sues Kodi Add-On Library “TV Addons

    It seems strange then that you can receive all programming for free from ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS, CW as well as all other local channels over an antenna. Once upon a time these above networks made their profits from advertisers but now they charge carriers like Dish, Directv, cable companies etc...

    I would love to know the legalities involved here. Is it illegal to receive any stream that originates outside the United States?

    Dish Network Sues Kodi Add-On Library “TV Addons

    Like so many things, the product is legal but it can be used for illegal purposes. Don't compare Amazon selling products with KODI to matches. Matches are used for many reasons while the products using KODI are sold for one reason, to stream for free. From what I understand, all of the streaming...

    Have things slowed down on DirecTV

    The question did make me ponder what new has been added to Directv's programming during the last year. The answer seems to be, not much. But then again, how much is there really to add? With the exception of 4K I don't see much to get excited about on the horizon and the 4K offerings last year...

    Have things slowed down on DirecTV

    Ha. I thought that you meant "Has Directv Slowed Down". As is "Have they become a bit stagnant "? I thought that was an interesting question.

    Is The The End Of DirecTV at Hand

    The difference is that KODI is a free app that anybody can use, but to hack a Firestick requires a certain degree of technical competence. Several plug and play devises come with KODI installed. From what KODI I've seen, picture quality can be a concern.

    Is The The End Of DirecTV at Hand

    I'm thinking that products like KODI might cause some concerns for satellite and cable in the near future.

    Does DTV look better with 4K TV even without 4K equipment?

    Theoretically the PQ on any 4K panel should look better. However, we all know that like anything else, you generally get what you pay for ( video processors, IPS screen vs VA screen etc ). Even though from 20 feet I can see a PQ improvement with upconverted 4K on my Sony 75x850c, where a actual...

    Masters 4K on channel 105 and 106

    Mine does that a lot. Actually when I switch to a 4K channel using the guide as a starting point I lose the sound quite often. I just go to another channel then hit previous and the sound is back. Pretty weird though.

    Masters 4K on channel 105 and 106

    I wonder if I'll be able to record it. I tried to record the 9th inning of the Cub -Cardinal game and it wouldn't record. I tried several times, from the game direcetly and from the guide.

    DIRECTV to Air First NASCAR Race In 4K

    Yeah, I hope the baseball game and the Masters is better. I don't think that fast action and LCD technology lend itself well to 4K.

    HS17-100 (For those wondering)

    What about using it as a EHD. The new K content tales up a lot of hard drive space.

    HS17-100 (For those wondering)

    All it takes? If you're talking about hooking up a EHD via eSATA, try going into Best Buy and finding a plug and play EHD that you can use with any Directv DVR.
