    4K Events Discussion Thread

    I was recording the whole 4k Packer-49er game via timer. No video on the channel prior to the timer starting and none throughout the game broadcast. Today the recording replays normal with video.

    4K Events Discussion Thread

    Thanks Bobby. 540-1 is audio only for me. No idea why, I can stream 4k through the Hopper on Prime/Netflix. In the past I had 4k on the 540s.

    4K Events Discussion Thread

    Are the 4k Joeys supposed to have access to 540 when the H3 has no issue with it? Are the 4k Joeys supposed to play recordings off 540? Are the 540 subchannels on certain orbitals?

    Loyal Dish customer longevity

    Nice. 625 is ringing a bell. I used to buy my receivers when there were monthly fees to be saved. Last Dish equipment I bought was the 722k OTA module. Still have one, maybe two in the cabinet.

    Loyal Dish customer longevity

    23 years with a self-install 3000 receiver and a Dish500 dish, I think. Or the 500 dish came shortly after the single LNB 300 dish installation. Added a 2nd dish aimed at 61.5° when HDTV launched there. Here's a memory test... Recite the receiver's you've had! 3000 4000 311 322 625 622 211k...

    Playing NBC Feeds w/ All Audio Tracks (via VLC and OpenWebif)

    Try the method in the second post. Launch VLC by dragging the exe file over the bat file icon. Right-click/copy link the stream icon next to the channel in the OpenWebif channel list. Paste this link into the Open Network Stream, then Play. Sometimes my OpenWebif will create the m3u8 file...

    Playing NBC Feeds w/ All Audio Tracks (via VLC and OpenWebif)

    NBC feeds are great, except for the split audio tracks that they contain. Here is a way I've found to watch with all audio tracks active. This is done via PC and the player VLC, and in my case with Enigma based STBs, specifically OSMIO4k for me. First, make a .bat file like this: Next, I...

    A way to deal with offset dish aiming in difficult situations

    A PM specifically asked about dealing with the angles with an offset LNB. I'm not sure what the dish offset means in relation to what is being measured. Is it the angle between the LNB eye and the normal projection from the dish center, or is it the angle between the sat signal and the...

    A way to deal with offset dish aiming in difficult situations

    I’ve had several PMs asking how to do dish aiming when using a dish installation on an inclined pole as pictured in this post. https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/how-do-i-get-a-ku-dish-to-point-lower.369079/page-2#post-405964 I can’t edit that post, so a bit more detail is given here to...

    4K Events Discussion Thread

    Thanks for that. UHD, when Samsung uses it, doesn't seem to be referencing ultra high Def resolution. The settings use the term "uhd color" for a color setting. The way I understood the uhd color setting is that it enables HDR if present. The only HDR indication I've seen on my Sammy UN65 or...

    I think Samsung lists HDR as UHD Color. The pic is not to show pq, just the image resolution. It's my smudgy phone camera! Sent from my SM-G950U1 using the SatelliteGuys app!

    I can't explain it. I'm using a 4k Joey tied to an H3. It has worked for other Dish 4k. Is a 4k program recorded in 4k for 4k playback? Sent from my SM-G950U1 using the SatelliteGuys app!

    4K Events Discussion Thread

    I posted earlier in this thread a few weeks ago a Husker game on 540 was in HD and not 4k. I noted this weekend the game was not 4k delivered again. The MLB games are being sent to the TV as 4k.

    Odd 4k channel 540 issue.

    I put a post in the 4k discussion thread saying I was not getting 4k resolution during the IA game. HD was being sent from the Joey instead. I've had 4k before from 540. This is the first occasion I remember a downres signal. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Iowa game is not 4k/UHD on 540. 4k Joey is only delivering HD 1920x1080/60i UHD color. My same equipment and settings has delivered UHD in the past, but not tonight on this game. FS1 is UHD/4k tonight, as I'm getting it via another 4k receiver. What's up, Dish? Sent from my SM-G950U1 using...

    How to add or edit a satellite in E2 based receivers

    Don't know where or who can best answer this, and I was told a couple years ago the satellite.xml file goes into the Root\etc\tuxbox and not the Root\etc\enigma2 folder. My Octagon and Edison receivers don't have a satellite.xml file in the enigma2 folder. I've always used the tuxbox folder...

    Which method(s) do you use to point your dishes?

    Signal finding and tuning starts with the inclinometer or angle finder app on the phone and compass. That usually gets me to within a nudge of locking on. Signal monitoring is via a Sathero SH200. It is basic but gets the job done nicely. A trick for finicky new-old dishes which have poor...
