    Bah Humbug Sirius :(

    Been a Sirius subscriber for nearly 20 years now and generally been happy with the service over the years. I'm not even one to b!tch too much over the price, and defended their worth even while so many folks extoll the virtues of the other streaming music services. That said, they pissed me off...

    Some pics for the Dish/Electronics Sleuths...

    So...been considering selling my house if I could find one I liked with a bigger garage. Today I went and looked at one that seemed promising. It was owned by an older gentleman who apparently recently passed away and being sold by his daughters. Anyways...it had a "DishHD" Dish on the roof (No...

    Is the Pub being sponsored by Tesla now?

    Maybe I missed the memo that the new Pub memberships came with a free Tesla. :p At this point, perhaps the Tesla fans need their own separate forum/subforum. ;)

    FOR SALE Couple old Dish remotes - 8.0 (UHF) - 3.1 (IR)

    Cleaning out some stuff and have a couple old Dish remotes if anyone can use them. One is a silver 8.0 (UHF) remote, the other is a black 3.1 (IR) remote. Both pretty lightly used. Clean and almost look new. Will sell either one for $5 shipped, basically just to cover cost of shipping them.

    Bluetooth Adapter on Joey for Bluetooth speaker?

    Any tips or trick for getting the Bluetooth adapter on a Joey to recognize/connect to a bluetooth speaker? My brother has a Joey 3, and he bought one for the bluetooth adapters for the Joey with the hopes of connecting a bluetooth speaker. The speaker is a JBL Link 10. The speaker works great...

    SOLD!! EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 Superclocked 2GB Graphics Card

    Anybody need a video card? I've got a used EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 SC Superclocked 2GB Video Card (Part# 02G-P4-2672-B1) The card was working great when it was removed from my computer for an upgrade to a newer card. It's a decent folding card, but won't light the world on fire point-wise...

    Found the easter egg in the Pub!

    ...or more likely, just a misspelled word. hehe No telling how long we've all stared at this one, but "bandwidth" is misspelled when you go to create a new thread in the Pub! Must have had a few too many with Bobby before you typed this one out. :D

    Site Slow today?

    Anyone else finding the site sloooow, to almost unusable this afternoon? All seemed fine earlier this morning, but this afternoon, seems like everything I click is either timing out, or sitting there with the three bars spinning in the upper right corner endlessly before finally displaying...

    Impressive response by Sirius.

    Being a country fan, my favorite station on Sirius is Prime Country, and I enjoy their weekly retro countdown show called "Prime 30". I usually end up missing the show when it regularly airs, but enjoy catching it during the week while at work via their App or online via OnDemand. Last week...

    If I wanted to add DirecTV for 4K...

    Go easy on the DirecTV newb please. Except on a few occasions, I've been happy with Dish and never really considered DirecTV before...and have no plans to drop Dish now either. That said, and I know many of you will laugh, but I'm a NASCAR nut, and the FOX announcement of 4K programming...

    Are Dish EA mounting angles similar to DirecTV?

    I know that is probably a somewhat vague question. The reason for asking... I would LOVE to be able to switch my parents over to Dish to get away from the local podunk cable company. I got away from them years ago, but since my parents have always been in apartments w/o LOS, that's not been...

    Revolving Background Wallpaper?

    A few minutes ago, I started seeing a revolving background wallpaper appear on the main homepage? Its quite distracting, changing ever second or two. Is there a way to turn that off and get back to the normal dark gray background? This is viewing on Chrome on my Win7 machine with the "Dark"...

    Scam Pop-ups on Android?

    Heads up, three different times while checking the site over last two days, I click to open a random thread, then immediately get hijacked with what looks like a SatGuys Facebook page and a pop-up with a scam telling me I've won a free iPad, etc. I grabbed a screenshot this last time: Same...

    Odd behavior from "Dark" Theme in last few days

    Hey guys, Have there been any recent changes to the "Dark" Theme? Now, when you click on an existing thread, and it automatically scrolls to the first unread post, the sticky navbar obscures that first unread post, so you have to scroll back up to read that first post. The screenshot below is...

    SatGuys Reader App no longer working?

    Since Thursday night, all I get is "Connecting to Server..." when I open the app. It never connects. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Collapsed Avatars?

    Just noticed that nobody's avatars are appearing for me anymore. There is a new "+" icon that I can click and they appear briefly, then the avatar display collapses again. Happens in IE and Chrome. Maybe I missed an announced change, but is there a setting somewhere for them to appear all the...

    Verizon...Pre-orders...and Number Porting?

    Been on Sprint for years (15+), but finally looking at a move to Verizon. I'm just tired of the Sprint data network that is perpetually going to be better "soon", and seemingly degrading voice signals in my area. My brother has had Verizon equally as long, and never seems to have signal...

    Style Chooser no longer work on the homepage?

    I noticed my saved style "Dark-Fluid" no longer is working on the homepage. In fact, the style chooser drop menu at the bottom left doesn't appear there at all on the homepage for me. Once I go into the forums, it switches over to the saved style, and the drop menu appears. Not a big thing, but...

    Android App..."this Station Is Temporarily Unavailable"

    I keep getting "This station is temporarily unavailable" using the Android app this morning. It was working fine during your talk shows last night. Any ideas?

    Android App suggestions...

    Really been enjoying SatGuys radio the last few days! I usually listen via my cell phone @ work and have been using the Android App on my HTC One. So far its worked pretty well. Not sure how much control you have over the app, but a couple suggestions of things that would be nice: 1...

    Sling issues?

    I have been trying to watch the start of the race away from home, but failing miserably. Here, I have a 12MB DSL connection, and at home I have 25/3 cable, so I should have plenty of bandwidth on both ends, but when I connect, the video starts then runs maybe 30 seconds, locks up and gives a "We...

    How long for program tiles/icons to appear on a new HWS?

    My HWS & SJ were both installed last Tuesday morning, but as of this morning, I still don't have program tiles/icons for any of the items recorded since it was installed. The only ones that show proper tiles are the ones I transferred from the EHD (from old Hopper). The first night after the...

    New HWS & SJ...pretty cool so far!

    Had my install this morning upgrading from an Original Hopper to a HWS, and swapping one of my two Joeys to a Super Joey. Installer showed up right on their time estimate. They had estimated two hours for the install, and it ended up taking just shy of an hour and a half. It saved him a little...

    Enhanced Hardware in the original Joey?

    I know it seems we've got a dozen CES Hopper/Joey threads going, but one thing I'm pretty sure I heard mentioned in the Dish press conference yesterday is getting lost in the SJ and VJ discussions...that they are also upgrading the hardware in the regular Joey as well. If that is true, I'd...
