Throughout the 90's I bought, built, and sold computers and associated equipment, new and used. I got rid of most of it over the years, but still have an annoying amount left. I know the old motherboards and video cards and such have precious metals in them. I have dozens of old serial...

I recently bought a Tesla. The Tesla in the driveway will barely make a connection to my router which is in a front room of the house. The signal drops in and out. The router can not be moved. I've got multiple outdoor cameras and experience some difficulty with them as well. Although all...

I ordered a couple of sets of these for two of my casual friends. They appreciate nicer things. I just hope they don't already have them. 24k Solid Gold AirPod Pro - Carterlux.com

So, last week I recorded at least 15 College football bowl games. I had surgery Wednesday, so sat down to watch a lot of football on Friday, Saturday, and today. Everything went smooth, enjoyed college football for the first time in 25 or 30 years. This morning, I settled in to watch Ohio...

I don't have a Hopper, just a Wally. When I'm camping, I can use DISH Anywhere to watch DISH programming from the Guide. I can't watch any recorded programs because my receiver is not a Hopper or Sling capable. My question is.................when I'm watching programming remotely through DISH...

I bought a new computer. I haven't had a new one in 11 years, things have changed a little. Anyway, I'm trying to understand my memory. I'm sure many of you know more about this than I do. Please explain. There are four slots. Factory installed an 8 gb stick and a 4 gb stick in slots 2 and...

In my quest to learn about all things TV, I've got my DISH Wally and I bought a Tivo a few weeks back and more recently I bought a new Tablo Dual Lite. It's the Tablo I want to talk about here. Setup of the Tablo was fairly easy, got it up and running in about 30 minutes. I'm using a sata...

So, a couple of weeks ago I decided I would prepare for the end of the year when my DISH contract ends and have options with regard to OTA dvr. I did a little research on OTA dvr's and decided that I like the Tivo approach best. After reading up as much as I could on Tivo, I finally decided to...

With all this talk about updates on the Hopper, I decided to check my Wally and see if it got one. It's been running on U806 for a while now. Anyway, I go to Diagnostics and select the Software Update feature. It goes through the whole 20 minute process, rebooting six or seven times. I get...

Started working with computers in a bank processing center in 1968. Got the bug and been hooked ever since. I've had dozens of PC's, DOS and Windows driven over the years. Never had a Mac. So, since I'll soon be 70, I figured it would be about time to learn a little about the Mac OS. A guy...

I was going through and old file cabinet today, looking at old bills and such. Cell service is cheaper now, electricity about the same, and satellite TV...................well, you know. I came across this letter from DISH actually advising me of a price increase in the mail. Thought some of...

Wow, after over 20 years off and on DISH network satellite TV, I will finally need a service call. I've never had DISH out before, just always did my own installs and troubleshooting. However, this coming Saturday between 8 am and Noon, a DISH service rep will be visiting my...

I'm about to mount a DISH dish on a DirectTV roof mounted mast. Is there a better, easier, more available, less expensive way to do it than this 1.66 Pipe Adapter Existing Pole Dish Satellite Mast Antenna Installation SKY1100 | eBay Thanks.

Since converting to a Wally a couple weeks ago, I've been learning a bunch about it. One problem I have and can't figure out. Today, I set a ball game to record on an OTA channel. Midway through the second quarter, I decided to watch it. The game was in the DVR list, with the proper icon...

I just switched from a VIP211K to a Wally, trying to learn the new interface. One of my most used features on the 211 was to "auto tune". For example, I would go into the guide and see that a program is coming on in two hours. So, I would select that program and be given choices of recording...

Well, I de-activated my dinosaur today, the old VIP211K. I installed a new Wally which I'm learning to use. I'm having a problem. I bought the Air TV dual tuner OTA adapter. I plugged the adapter in to the receiver, then went to Settings/OTA Antenna. I have no options, it says to connect my...

Hi, I thought I'd ask here because there are so many tech saavy members on this site. I've got a Windows 7 laptop. I can connect wirelessly to a number of networks. However, I can't connect to my phone's hotspot. The laptop sees it, but it just rolls trying to connect. I can connect to the...

I can't believe a new Western series started up on DISH and nobody told me about it. You guys know that I love Westerns. Half of my TV time is on the Western Channel. I'm hurt. Anyway, for anyone else who didn't know, a new Kevin Costner series called "Yellowstone" began recently on...

I thought this was interesting, considering all the discussion in the past about regulations regarding local channels. Here in Beaumont, TX the local CBS affiliate is still operating. However, they are not broadcasting OTA. I assume that they are flooded at their tower location, which is in a...

I am using a VIP211K. I need help learning how to do what I want to do. Example: Yesterday, I was recording the U.S. Open on FS1 (seven hours of coverage plus an extra hour of recording). I was watching it about 3 hours behind live TV. I wanted to switch to my OTA local station to watch the...

I've talked with two DISH installers from different parts of the country in the past few days. They both told me that they are now repairing Samsung washing machines. If this is true, just curious what you installers think about that. Is this going to end after the recall, or is this the...

Is there an adapter which allows one to use a Direct TV mast with a DISH dish? Thanks.

I'm not a big DVR user, mostly just pausing while I leave the room shortly. However, every now and then I need to record a program. I've run into this problem more than once. Today's example: I set the DVR to record PGA golf on CBS from 1 pm to 5 pm. Then, I try to set to record PGA golf on...

Can someone please tell me how to delete a timer event on a VIP211K receiver? I sometimes set a timer incorrectly. Like today, I set a timer to autotune. I'd like to change that to record, but can't figure out any way to do so. Thanks.
