Does anyone know of a messaging app that will let you opt out of a group text or remove someone from a group text like iOS 8 now does? I'm currently using the stock samsung app on the s5, which works fine for me except for this feature. Or, is there any rumor of samsung or others adding this...

Just wondering if anyone was familiar with SE Alaska (Juneau) DMA? We have always gotten CBS KTNL, channel 5122 in HD. Now it's only SD for about a week. A real bummer because it was the only network we got in HD. Looked on the List and it only shows SD feed and didn't see anything in uplink...

I was wondering if anyone knew...if you use dish anywhere app (with HWS) in your home on the wireless network that the hopper is on, will it count as a double whammy on bandwidth? i.e. upload show, then download show? Or will it just use the home network. I think when you actually download a...

My friend has a 1H 2J setup that I helped him install. (no techs/installers in our area) It worked fine for four days, but this afternoon, both joeys just have a black screen. Their guides come up (with no graphics) but when you select the channel, you get the upper banner, then black. I've...

Has anyone figured out how to do this on a hopper? I've gone to "edit all" etc., and I can delete the whole folder, but what about my kids "Spongebob" folder that has 30 episodes in it and I want to get rid of 15? I can only do it one at a time. On my old 622, I could pull up an edit list and...

I run the sound from my Hopper via optical link to my Sony audio receiver. When I'm playing back a recording, the audio pops when skipping or FF. My 622 never did this and everything is hooked up the same way. I saw some older posts about this with a 722, but no solutions. Anyone else...

Does anyone have any rumors/info on whether Alaska/Hawaii will get Redzone uplinked in HD this season? I get it in SD fine, and it's on my guide in HD on channel 9467, which we can't get with a standard dish. I keep looking for it to show up in the 5000's, but it's probably wishful thinking.

I know this was discussed among other things in an older thread, but I wondered if it was ever resolved. I recently started putting up the 119/129 single dish in SE Ak., and have had no problems with a bunch of 622's and 612's. I did two 722's today however and the 129 column is blank. The...

Forgive me if this topic has been discussed but I couldn't find it...anyways I can't seem to find 129 with my birdog. I've downloaded the latest file from birdog (I think) All I can find in their sat. list is "BR Dishnetwork 129W." Their website also says it was updated in April. Interesting...

Does anyone know the long range plans for HD in Alaska and Hawaii? I know we aren't a huge market, but we are paying customers. I see all this advertisement for a 100 HD channels, turbocharge, etc, but the reality is we get just a few HD channels off 110. Worst those of us in the bush are...

Does anyone have the inside track for HD in AK and HI? No matter how much HD is launched nationally, Alaska and Hawaii are stuck with the "Alaska Pack" which is 8 or 9 channels, several of them worthless. (my opinion) We are getting these channels off of 110W. Can we aim a dish at another sat...

Starband recently changed some of their parameters, and I was wondering if this affected their signal strength or the strength meter. I install in Southeast Alaska and traditionally get 7 to low 8's on the Ebno meter. For about a month now (about the same time the parameters changed) I cannot...

Has anyone heard any more about upgrading the 360/480 modems for the new Nova's? Starband's website said an upgrade policy would be issued on Dec. 17th, but I haven't seen anything on their website and have waited on hold for forever on their 800 number trying to ask some one. MB

About six weeks ago, I was pleasantly surprised to learn from this site that Dish was going to light up the three main local areas in AK (Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau)with HD locals on June 8th. After returning from vacation yesterday, I went to dishchannelchart to see what was up. I saw...

After logging on today, I got all excited about the NPS deal, but couldn't find anywhere what satellite it is on. One post sort of implyed 119 but wanted to make sure. Thanks

As everyone is aware, the distant network shutoff has begun. I received an email and phone call from dish saying they would upgrade my dish(es) for free to receive the locals. There is no retailer in my town and in many Alaska towns for that matter, there are always handymen around like myself...

Recently the D* dealer in our small Alaska town has been installing what looks like a 1 or 1.2 meter dish that is hooked into a dual or even triple lnb. From asking around this one dish will get up to three sats for D* here in Alaska. Does anyone know if any manufacturer is making something like...

I have gotten a few tips by searching around this forum, but am interested in info concerning getting HD in Alaska. What satellites do you have to get, is the HD package for AK any good or worth the money? If anyone is on this forum from AK or if anyone is knowlegeable about the AK market I...

Thanks everyone for a great site. I come here often just to read and learn. I have an interesting problem. I live in Alaska, so to get dish 500, I have two 1.2 meter dishes, one at 110, the other at 119, running through a dp34 switch to a 508 receiver. This setup has worked fine until winter...

I just switched from a Starmate to a Starmate replay. I love the unit, but it is annoyingly hard to get the unit off the suction cup mount. The old starmate would just slide right out a little slot. The new radio has these stupid fingers you have to pry up. Sure makes it hard to take in the...

Hi everyone. I am new to this site, but want to say I have found the forum very informative. You guys know your satellites! I do have a question--I am trying to get dish 500 in Alaska. I have already set up a second dish(the skew dish doesn't work up here) I then proceeded to get a microyal SW...
