    Android app keeps passing unwanted notifications

    I have the Android app and every other day or so, I get notifications about random posts that I have not commented on, read, or interacted with in any way. I've turned off all notifications, unsubscribed all feeds, etc. Still it pushes notifications to me. At this point, the only solution I can...

    Shaw footprint for AZ

    Does Shaw's satellites still hit in Arizona, specifically around Phoenix? I haven't put one of these systems in for a good while and am wondering if there is still coverage here.

    Any Stage Lighting Guys Here?

    I volunteered to run a simple DMX-512 controller for a private function and I must say I find it quite intriguing. It's kinda becoming a bit of a hobby for me. I would like to find some forums that deal with stage lighting. I've already read up quite a bit about the theory behind the signal and...

    DP301 For Legit FTA?

    I've heard of plenty of people taking DISH receivers and trying to use them for ill intent. I was wondering quite the opposite. Can a DISH IRD (owned) be converted to use for legitimate FTA, not theft. I'm about to purchase a true FTA receiver and since DISH uses DVB, I was curious if that unit...

    Any FTA IRDs with IPTV Functionality?

    Now that I've blown through the acronyms...... I was looking at the NFusion and it looks like a pretty cool box with its auto-update feature via an internet connection. However, it looks like its internet functionality is limited to just updates. Are there any FTA boxes that can also look for...

    Roman Numeral Clocks

    I was at Target today shopping for a clock to hang on the wall. I like Roman numerals for clocks and there was this large, iron-looking round piece that I decided would look real nice at the top of the stair landing. $100 was a good price for a piece meant to appear aged. However, something was...

    Why DISH Is Doing So Poorly (Rant Inside)

    I just moved in to a new home from an apartment with No Line Of Sight. I have a 722 purchased that I wanted to activate with no Social Security Number given. That was unacceptable to them. I was disconnected twice while trying to have my call escalated to ERT. So I fired off an email to the CEO...

    Turn Wireless Router Into Wireless Game Adapter?

    Is this feasible? I have a Belkin N Wireless Router Model F5D8233. The manual states that it can be set up as an Access Point but I don't think that is what I want it to do. I want to connect a FyreTV beta box to my wireless network. The FyreTV box doesn't have wireless capability, just the...

    What is a Mobile Telephone Transceiver?

    ....and what is it doing in my Suburban? It started out with me noticing some black object alligator clipped to the ceiling above my rear-view mirror and hidden behind my ceiling console. Thinking it was odd that I hadn't noticed it before, I removed this little object and it was attached to a...

    Seen This On A Totalled Truck

    I saw this totalled F150 riding on a flatbed tow truck and on the side of it was written: "Since the judge says you get this truck, you can get it out of the (expletive) canyon yourself, B(expletive)." I dang near had to pull over, I was laughing so hard.

    I'm A MySpace Mobsters Addict.

    My wife got me addicted to this game. It's on MySpace and you do the sorts of things that comes with pretending to be a mobster in a game. It's one of those games where you make a few decisions and then just come back to it later, not something you play through in a single session. She had me...

    E-11 Holds Still at 138

    It's speed is 0km/0mi and its holding steady at 137.92 WL. Not quite the 138.5 but it's close. I reckon they ought to start testing soon. P. Smith, etc., any of you want to point at 138 and see if anything is piping down? LIVE REAL TIME SATELLITE TRACKING: ECHOSTAR 11

    98 Grand Caravan: Replace The Short Block?

    My wife has a minivan, a 98 Plymouth Grand Voyager (grand caravan, basically) with a 3.0 engine. Radiator is boiling over. The problem is either a hairline crack in a cylinder or a leaking head gasket. The mechanic says the short block needs to be replaced, but he can't do the work, I would have...

    Could SWM Lead To A Quad Tuner HD-DVR?

    DISH has a good card against DirecTV in the ability to get two rooms for the price of one. With SWM technology, I think DirecTV has the potential to fire back on DISH by building a quad-tuner box. They could potentially serve four rooms from one box, or really serve the DVR aficionados with it...

    FS: Used Satellite (Needs Work) 148

    Up for sale is a used satellite that no longer runs. It's 12 years old and we can't seem to get it running. It's ideal as a fixer upper though. We're only asking $6.4 million. Compared to new satellites, this is a bargain for someone willing to make the necessary repairs. It is an RHCP only...

    Where Will E2 Drift Towards?

    Without control of E2, is it in danger of drifting in to E1? I mean, I don't know which way that thing would drift, but I would hope that E1 is in the opposite direction. Anyone know which way satellites tend to drift when unsteered? If E2 crashes into another bird and creates a lot of debris...

    622 Parental Control Glitch

    I've had two separate service calls where the customer had a 622 and had nearly all of their channels locked out. Here's the breakdown: Both of them had parental controls set up for a couple of channels only. Both claimed to have not added other channels to the list. Both had the L449...
