There has been a lot of discussion here about the lack of Dolby Digital output on the HWS Netflix app, but I'm not sure anyone has mentioned volume issues. We find that we have to turn up the volume on our AVR (which is being fed by optical digital from the Hopper) to ridiculously high levels...

We have quite a few timers set for "Big 4" network shows that are recorded on PTAT (HWS). Lately, we are finding that the "saved" shows in "My Recordings" are corrupted with macroblocking and audio drop-outs every second or so, all the way through. If we watch the shows as saved in PTAT, they...

Title says it all. My sling adaptor has failed (won't work on either of my Hoppers). Anyone gotten one replaced under the protection plan? Brad Posted Via The SatelliteGuys Reader App!

On the Joey we use the most (master bedroom), we are seeing a LOT of video freeze-ups that last 2-3 seconds. The audio continues during the freeze. This happens probably every 2 minutes or so. It seems to happen during fast motion, as if the MOCA transcoding can't keep up. We haven't noticed...

Last night, we had heavy thunderstorms just after 7:00 p.m. central time. The PTAT timer had already started when we had loss-of-signal. Later, we tried to watch the Olympics, and the recording indicated being over 2 hours long at that point, but it would not play back past the LOS point...

I'm having a 2 Hopper - 4 Joey system installed on Friday. I'm planning to use a Hopper Internet Connector (HIC) at one of the Joey locations. MY question is this: Can the HIC be installed on a MOCA line that is split between two Joey locations, or will that cause issues? It (the HIC) will...

The reason I ask, is because I'd like to use a Joey to feed an older Hitachi 32" LCD that only has component, DVI-D, and DB-15 HD inputs. I'd like to know if you have any HDMI handshake issues, whether the audio works with the DVI or has to be run separately with L/R stereo, and any other...

Can anyone explain why a Hulu stream from Dish Online won't play on my XOOM tablet? I always get a message that says something like, "Sorry this program is not supported on this platform." Movies play fine (when the wifi is good). I'm running Android 3.2 with Flash 11.xxx (flavor of the day)...

Sorry if this has been covered somewhere else, but I couldn't find it if it has......I'm on the free Platinum for 12 months offer, due to expire in February. When I try to "complete registration" for the one-disc-at-a-time by mail, I'm unable to do so. First, the link from the Blockbuster page...

Anybody heard of this? From SkyReport: EchoStar's New Toy Known for its continuing techno-innovations, EchoStar now has a really, really skinny DVR (code-named Mercury) on display at the big IBC show. It's just 9mm in height (that's about 0.35" for the metrically challenged) and...

Why couldn't E* have a setup menu item to switch TV-2 between the outputs on the receiver and Sling? :cool: I assume they haven't eliminated the TV-2 connections on the back panel, or the agile modulator for TV-2 over RF, so why not? With this setup, you could "normally" output over coax to...

From Doug Lung's RF report on tvtechnology.com: "EchoStar's request for STA to operate its EchoStar 12 DBS satellite over channels 23 and 24 at 61.5 degrees west longitude (WL) for a period of 180 days was granted. " According to "The List," TP 24 is already in use, but 23 is not. Will they...

I have a friend whose parents live in Hermann, and they can't get any OTA reception at all since the digital transition. TV Fool confirms this. Apparently, E* has told them that they can't get St Louis locals - only Columbia/Jefferson City. I looked at a DMA map, and they are clearly in the...

I haven't read anything about the agenda for tonight. Anyone know? Will there be a Tech Chat Chat? Brad

Wow, VERY cool.........Thanks, Digiblur and Nelson61! Looks like this one will be a winner for sure (he says, drooling). :up (You guys in Wichita, check out beam B9, and you'll be drooling, too! Looks like HD Locals for you are not that far off.) Brad

I'm currently an AEP subscriber, but would be interested in going to a TurboHD pack if "certain" HD channels are added. I wonder if E* has any plans to offer a "Turbo Everything Pack," that would include Turbo Platinum HD and all the premiums? Of course, DVR fees would also be waived.......;)...

I see on N2YO that AMC 14's orbit is getting closer to circular (30,000 x 36,000 km +/-) and closer to equatorial. Makes me wonder about a few things: 1. Who owns it? 2. Who is controlling it? 3. Is it healthy? 4. Is there any chance at all that E* could still lease it from the...

Looks like Ciel-2's date will be slipping, also. :( News 102008 More trouble with Breeze-M (at least this time it's ground eqpt.). Brad

Am I crazy, or didn't "The List" used to show the actual satellite (e.g. E*10) and the FEC rate for each transponder? Looking today, I see it doesn't anymore. I DO like the change where you just click on the column heading and it sorts by that variable. Keep up the good work, Digi - we...

From the ILS launch blog: "Posted by ILS Communications Team, 8:42 p.m. EDT on 18 August 2008 | 0 Comments The Breeze M upper stage of our Proton M rocket continues its climb into space with the Inmarsat-4 F3 satellite. We have received confirmation that the 1st and 2nd burns of the...

Back in December, I did a DIU upgrade from a 311 to a 722. The deal was $199 for a self-install with a $100 rebate. I mailed the rebate form with a copy of my bill on January 2. A couple of nights ago, I had a message from E* on my machine, saying that my rebate had been approved, and that...

Things have been so quiet at E* lately (at least on the consumer side), that I'm wondering what they can talk about for an hour on a Tech Chat. I'm not sure Leslie can talk for an hour about remote control tips! Maybe they'll bring back the Seagate guy to apologize for the fiasco with the Free...
