My apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere but a quick search didn't turn up anything. Dish removed ATTSN, my RSN (channel 428), from my line-up in central PA. This channel carried Penguins and Pirates games amongst other content. I read there was a dispute and the channel was removed...

Hi all. I hope I'm not asking a question that was already answered, but a quick search didn't turn up anything. My only experience with SXM is with my '14 Sierra...and the Android app that comes with the subscription. For 3+ years it worked flawlessly. Recently I started experiencing a...

I had to get a replacement for my 211. Dish sent me a 211K. Since the old receiver is larger it won't fit the 211K box for return so that prompted me to call TS. I was told that the 211 is obsolete and they don't want it back. That would also explain why the box did not have a 2-way label...

Hi all. I bought a FireTVStick from Amazon during their $20 introductory promo. I don't use it a lot but when I do it works well. This past weekend we "fired" it up to watch a movie and I encountered the all new interface. I stumbled around trying to find the movie we wanted and eventually...

Hi folks. I found a couple of old threads on this topic, nothing recent. The 1TB EHD I have attached to my ViP 211 tanked. Lasted 6+ years so I'm not complaining. It was a very basic WD My Book Essential, not designed for this application. What's the current max. size (I think I heard 2...

Hi all - hoping someone in the brain trust here can give me some direction with a perplexing problem. I have an LG-E980 phone that connects via Bluetooth to the "IntelliLink" system in my '14 GMC Sierra. Some weeks back the two won't play nice with each other anymore...I've lost the ability to...

Hi. I'm still low on the learning curve with this phone. I installed an app. that allows me to now print photos on my HP 8600, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to print anything else, like e-mails, web pages, or documents. What am I doing wrong ?? BTW, I'm connecting to the...

Hi all. I'm seeing conflicting info as to what this error means; I've never seen it before. Nothing I can do will clear it. One tech had no idea and elevated it to the "Advanced" group. The tech at that level just ordered the replacement, said my HDD took a dump. The previous 622 also had...

Looking for a pair of powered PA speakers similar to what's pictured in this eBay posting. With stands would be nice. http://www.ebay.com/itm/JBL-EON-515XT-Powered-PA-Speaker-Pair-w-Stands-Cables-/310920957902?pt=US_Pro_Audio_Speakers_Monitors&hash=item4864554fce I want to really jam on...

Hi all I've had a 211 with a connected 1TB EHD ever since that became an option (2009?). Recently the system began showing issues with freezes, random reboots, unresponsive remote, etc. happening a couple of times a week. At first I blamed the EHD, a WD MyBook Essentials that has been...

Made a double batch to take to an event...ended-up eating (and sharing) almost half of it, so I'll have to make another batch tonight! It's really decadent. Warning - it's 500 calories just to LOOK at it...! Check out this link and watch the video, which departs a bit from the recipe. I...

Hi all. I'm new to this streaming stuff. Since I'm an Amazon Prime member I figured I should try to get the most out of it, so I've been watching movies for the past few weeks using my new laptop as the "server". It's connected to my A/V receiver via HDMI. I'm quite surprised that I can...

Hi all. On a relative whim I picked up a Sony Vaio "laptop" on Sunday. Got a fairly reasonable price. Anyway - I didn't break the bank so if it turns out to be a mistake, I don't have that much invested in it. Since I lost my job I no longer have access to the rather nice Lenovo Think Pad...

Hi all. I've tried everything I know to do, but I can't seem to resolve this issue. FWIW, I did not have this problem with "my" (company's) old computer running XP with IE 7 or 8(?); the issue seems to be happening with "my" new computer running Win 7 / IE 10. I just tried using "Manage...

In the Grand Scheme Of Things this is certainly a minimal issue, but it's something that's been bugging me for quite some time! I want to change the name that's on my Dish account but I have yet to find the person who can do that for me! Long story short, some years back my daughter moved...

Hi all. I wasn't sure where to post this one so I thought I'd start here in "gadgets". I have 2 Sony HD Handicams, an XR-500V (120GB HDD) and an XR-520V (240GB). To date they have both been essentially flawless. I have been backing them up to a 3TB external HDD with some regularity (drag...

Help mods! I have never used an avatar and don't want to start now! Somehow I "mis-clicked" something last week and now when I look at my own posts I see an image with "Click here to add your avatar" appearing; it has the SatGuys logo on it. Nothing I tried to do makes that image go away...

After 6+ years the HDD in my 622 that I purchased finally went belly-up. (It was approaching 60K+ hours operation time which is nowhere close to an expected MTBF, but that is - has been - a topic for a different thread.) Anyway, the tech (a really cool, knowledgeable guy named Tyler in the...

Inspired by the Pub thread "I Remember Back When". I had the RS version at one time - loved it and used it daily. It had the right mix of engineering and statistics capabilities for my needs. IIRC, I paid $25 for it at RS in about '83. It was "credit card" size and fit nicely behind my...

(If this has been answered elsewhere, I apologize for the duplication; my quick search turned-up a lot of unrelated stuff.) I have a 211 connected to a WD MBE 1TB drive, which has been working great for 2.5+ years. I am close to having it full so I'm constantly juggling programs, deleting...

An interesting investigation is developing and we're "invited along for the ride" for the next week! I'm not sure where the text below originated so I'll quote it without a source. But the embedded link will be the developing story if you're interested... "Researchers on an expedition in...

Anyone else here doing that? What are the upsides / downsides? I recently entered the 20th century (not yet ready for the 21st!) and connected DSL via Windstream, my default "copper carrier". That bundles with my local land-line service and I dropped long distance (AT&T) at the same time as...

Hi all. When I read the threads here about equipment problems especially those caused by lightning I guess I have to consider myself quite lucky. I have issues to be sure, but they're minor in comparison. Regardless... Last evening my power went out...again...for several hours. That's the...

Hi all. Predictably I lost my 129 sat. LOS as the leaves came out. When I connected my trusty $20 "Satellite Finder" SS meter into that circuit, it blipped audibly once as I first connected it and barely moved the needle after that even at the highest gain setting. But the dial light in the...

Hi all. After nearly a year connected to my 211, the 1T WD drive is close to full with stuff I'll probably want to keep. So I want to activate a second such drive. I know there's the "Remove DVR" (or whatever it's called) option in the "My Recordings" menu. I assume the process to swap...
