    Hacking Seen this Morning

    Do you live in an apartment house, or real close to somebody else that might have an RF remote? Neighbors accidentally controlling another persons receiver along with their own has been known to happen.

    No Dish Reception and GTMedia V8 Finder 2

    One last thing on this, as I don't want to leave you all hanging, or sidetrack the thread again: looks like Doxazosin MIGHT be a winner! I started with 1mg on Friday, 1/5, and I'm ramped up to 6mg the last two days, one more night of that, and then I try 8mg. I've finally got my BP down to...

    No Dish Reception and GTMedia V8 Finder 2

    Started with 50mg, didn't work, he upped it to 100mg, still didn't work. I'm ready to just go back to Lisinopril, and deal with the cough. There was no other side effects, and I was on that for many years before getting the cough.

    No Dish Reception and GTMedia V8 Finder 2

    Losartan had the worst side effects of them all! Never brought down my BP even a tiny bit, random waves of severe depression would hit me, (suicidal level) it would randomly take me off into an alternate world/made me feel like nothing was "real" for short periods. Once I stopped taking it, that...

    No Dish Reception and GTMedia V8 Finder 2

    Yeah, you are right. I wasn't thinking straight when I made that post last night. I've had a bad headache for a few days now, and nothing is touching it. On my 4th BP med to try to get my BP down, since I developed the "Lisinopril cough" last Summer. None of them so far work as well as...

    No Dish Reception and GTMedia V8 Finder 2

    Do you know WHICH satellites it's pointed at? Western or Eastern arc? There's a different "head" depending on which, I understand. Wait, 119, 110, and 129 are Eastern Western arc. I no longer keep up on Dish stuff, but I know that's true.

    VIP RECEIVER as OTA DVR?

    You might not get proper guide data for your local channels when using a VIP. Maybe all your PAL needs is for you to replace the harddrive?

    Rechargeable batteries

    Duracell alkaline's have had leaking problems for years now. They did something to change them, and I stopped using them after they ruined multiple devices due to leaking. Eveready alkalines do NOT leak. I can't speak for rechargeable batteries though.

    "pay per view limit has been exceeded"

    Call Dish directly, and ask them to extend or reset your limit. It's account based, nothing to do with your receiver: Pay Per View Limit

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    That's beyond embarassing, IF all their "network security" was, consisted of McAfee Antivirus.

    Well, they fired their entire network security team afterwards, per that article. That was a good move...

    Internal VIP disk sizes?

    If you were planning to do so, take note that you can NOT replace them with just any drive, in an attempt to install a larger one. IF the drive you try isn't listed in the Bios, it simply won't recognize it.

    Resurrecting a DishTV system with VIP722k - diagnostics?

    So, don't you have any local teenagers that would like $20 CASH to trace back the wire from the dish? Don't pay them before it's done. They could take pics with a cellphone if needed. Sure would be safer and faster than waiting for the possibility of YOU going on the roof with a damaged foot...

    I just removed those posts about those links, since people seem to keep finding them from web searches, and they've been removed by the owner of that site.

    Dude, not every place gets snow, and has trees that drop their leaves.

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    I've heard of some coax acting like a water hose. Soaks up enough water, to literally run out the end once a connector is loosened. Perhaps that's an issue you are having. Though, it doesn't really take much water to stop signals completely dead.

    Is your dish shadowed by ANY trees at all? If so, wet leaves could cause blockage. If NOT, then I'd say water is getting into something it should NOT.

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    Paying blackmailers, and that's all these guys REALLY are, only encourages them to keep doing it. Nobody should EVER pay, no matter what. I don't know what Dish's network security is, or how hardened their network was, but quite obviously, it was not good enough.

    It's phony and a joke. Dish didn't make that ad.

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    It doesn't matter if it's 10 cents. You can't pay them, because it'll then never stop, they'll find a way to keep doing it. Being in IT for over 28 years, I have NO sympathy for people or companies that do NOT have multiple backups. It royally SUCKS having to revert, but sometimes it's your...
