GIVE-AWAY:
A Vip722 with an installation of a new dish.
Question: What is the true amount of space on a new 100GB hard disk drive, rounded to the nearest 1000th. First to call at 1-88-662-3474 wins. Can't have won in the past year.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q&A
Email:
1. Jason - Have more than one 622, can I move my external storage from one to another? If you have 622 and 722s you can move them in the household between receivers. You can do it three times. Initially just three times, until a new software update. Within your own household. Will roll it out to other HD models end of the year.
2. Martin: PocketDish, My archos PocketDish worked fine until HBO and Cinemax has been changed to prevent copying. Rendered the Pocket Dish useless.
Have to do this because studios have requirements on DRM. Work-around, re-record it.
3. Richard: Do you need a landline to subscribe to Dish Network? No. But to take advantage of all features, you do need a landline.
4. Scott: Is it possible to download recorded programs to computer? Not directly allowed to do it. If you want to do it, record to a DVD recorder, then use software to convert to PC format.
Call:
Tracey: Upgrade from 322 to 222. Trying to get screen-saver turned off. Is the 222 internet capable? Should be able to disable the nightly standby on the 322. On the 322 go through Setup, installation, nightly standby option. Other receivers through preferences menus. 222 has the same things; Or set an auto-tune timer.
Can 222 be hooked to ethernet? Yes, but not yet. Hopefullyy by the end of the year.
5. leah: Will the 722 have an ATSC RF Output? No. That would output the signal in pure digital form, which would run into copyright form.
WINNER of 722 - Kim R.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
External Storage Feature
Included in the new software for 622 and 722.
Ability to connect an external Hard Drive.
Video explaining the external hard drive storage option. Move programs to an external USB HDD. Open up more space on DVR. Important for those recording HD programs.
Purchase any off-the-shelf HDD, between 40GB and 750GB. Dedicate it for DVR storage.
Connect to USB port. Follow connection instructions with the Hard Drive.
Will see message if you want to manage it. You will have to format the drive.
One time archiving activation fee, $39.95. contact dish at 1-888-241-2205 to activate.
Follow onscreen prompts to move programs.
Keep the Hard drive cool. Don't move it while powered.
Available 8/15.
Buy single Hard drives, not "dualies." Only one drive will work at a time. Can plug in different drives. Eventually can daisy chain drives. Don't support USB Hub yet.
Use a empty drive. Or lose everything when it is reformatted. It will be a dedicated video drive.
Only content from my recordings list can be transferred. Rental recordings will not transfer.
You can not share the drive with other Dish users, OR connect it to your PC.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL GUEST - Rob from Seagate hard drives
Amount of hard drive space in a DVR will run out. So external hard drives are useful. Now moving ability to scale your storage to the dish network DVR.
How do you choose a hard drive? Pocket book? Lots of ways to differentiate drives.
1. Look for style. What do you want it to look like?
2. Making the right connection; Dish requires USB 2.0; you want to make sure it is 2.0
3. Make sure the drive can operate in temperature conditions that might not be ideal. Look for high heat tolerance. Seagate tolerances are at 35 degrees celcsus.
4. Want it to be quiet.
5. Rubber-Feet
6. Lots of drive features are irrelevant for Dish DVR.
How to take care of a hard drive. Seagate believes it is robust. Things you can do.
1. Remember heat is the enemy
2. stay in the air flow
3. Don't drop it.
4. Get enough gigabytes.
Technical components of a Hard drive.
1. Main components is the spindle/motor. Spin at 7200rpm. Provides the performance needed to playback multiple streams of HD content.
2. Data on platters. comprised of aluminum or glass substrate with a microscopic thin layer of a coating with the bits, magnetized, 1 or 0.
3. Actuator - arms extended from it - the read/write head. In a four platter drive, there are eight actuators with a read-write head. Kind of like a record player.
4. How it finds information: read/write heads float over the surface, and never touches the surface. It can accurately count data. Each track on a drive, a concentric circle, provides the first part of the address for the data. The next part is the cylinder. Sector is the final part of the address. The beginning and end of the file. It all tells the HDD where the data is.
Where can you buy these drives? Just about everywhere. Showed a list of retailers where you can get a maxtor or seagate drive.
Prizes! A Maxtor 1-touch drive, and a Seagate Free-Agent Drive. Both are 750Gigabytes. Go to first two people: what was the max capacity in gigabytes of the world's first commercial hard drive using perpendicular technology?
Call at 1-88-621-2078
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other updates
1. New software; make point-dish signal strength consistent across models.
video explains.
strong signal helps prevent signal interuptions. Numbers might be different then in the past. Possibly up to 30% less. But the strength has not changed, just the numbers.
You want a green bar, not a yellow bar (number under 17). A red bar (under 10) means no signal.
External factors can affect your signal strength. Make sure there aren't obsctacles affecting your signal strength.
Shows how to adjust the dish up to 40 degrees.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update with Scott Higgins on iTV.
1. goofy skit with golfing.
Showing the Dish Home, multi-cams for sports coverage; example from the US Open this June, and then showed example from the X Games from two weeks ago.
Six screen events shown periodically on Dish Network.
2. Other interactive media features. DishOnline.com. Added new feature to allow you to see the EPG on the web.
3. Thinking of adding TV search feature for an episode or series, with schedules, and recommendations of similar shows.
4. Dishonline.com added new trailers that you can watch. Can order pizza online.
5. Will stream the air new zealand cup. Other streaming events on Dishonline. Rugby, Tennis, Motocross, Bands and artists "on tour" etc...
6. New games on Dishonline.com; The Apprentice: los Angeles. Can compete with others. Arcade games, kids games.
Hopefully by October, we will have ability to set timers from the PC to control the Dish DVR timer.
Winners from Seagate- -Brian and Pam from Rhode Island and CT. Answer: 160GB Seagate HD in 2005
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MORE QUESTIONS
1. Gary: What format should the HDD have? It doesn't matter, we will reformat. Either port will work.
2. Mike - Have an old Dish 300 antenna want to hook up for 61.5. Have DishPro LNBs. How can I hook up all of them. If new dish has Dish pro, need Dish pro LNB on all of the dishes. Can't use a legacy and Dish Pro LNB hooked to a dish pro switch.
Out of time...
That's it for tonight.
Next CHARLIE CHAT, September 10th, 9pm, Channel 101. SatelliteGuys.us will be there to bring you a detailed recap as always.

At least, to me, the 722 doesn't appear to be a must have for someone like me who has had the 622 for 7 months, and still has 11 months for the current contract 
It would appear that, if I started to fill up my programming (possible until I realize that some of the interesting sounding programming coming out this fall isn't any good), I can just pay the $40 and buy a cheap USB hard drive.

Yeah the 722 is not as big of a deal with the advent of External Storage...

America’s Fastest-Growing EV State Isn’t California—Not by a Long Shot
New data shows electric vehicle adoption is increasingly driven by state policies, electricity prices and charging access—not federal incentives
www.autoweek.com
The number-one US state for EV growth, according to the June 22 Yardi report?
Oklahoma.
It has no ZEV mandates and "minimal" incentives, Yardi says, but also has cheap electricity, high multi-car household rates (so, for example, a non-Lightning Ford F-150 pulls their trailers), and a consumer base willing to switch.

Never realized that Tesla is losing to BYD at manufacturing too, which IMO is Tesla's biggest accomplishment and area of innovation. Nice writeup about the state of play and how we got here though. I have no faith that we're moving any productive direction though sadly, most changes and efforts feel reactionary rather than rooted in making use of the time being bought by tariffs, with few exceptions.
So: how are the cars so cheap, and what is being cut to get there? The best public accounting comes from the Rhodium Group, which compared BYD, Geely, and Leapmotor against Tesla's Chinese operation, a fair comparison because it removes labor costs and shipping from the equation entirely. Their estimate is that BYD builds a car for about $4,700 less than Tesla builds a Model 3 in Shanghai, roughly 15 percent of the Model 3's price. The breakdown is the interesting part. Direct government grants account for about $292 per vehicle, which is 5 percent of the gap. The biggest single factor is vertical integration: BYD makes about 80 percent of its top-tier components in-house, against 37 percent for Tesla, and that eliminates roughly $2,369 per vehicle in supplier markups. Lower overhead, meaning cheaper engineering talent and administrative cost spread across enormous volume, accounts for another $1,719. And BYD pays its suppliers on 155-day terms, against Tesla's 60, which is worth about $214 per car in float. When people say the Chinese advantage is subsidies, the per-vehicle number says otherwise. When people say it is slave wages, the Tesla Shanghai comparison says otherwise too. The advantage is mostly that BYD decided, twenty years ago, to make its own batteries, its own motors, its own power electronics, and its own semiconductors, and Western automakers decided the opposite.
US EV sales are rising again. Here’s why the recovery is set to last.
Even though sales tanked last year after the end of federal incentives, the American EV sector is on the mend as drivers face sky-high gasoline prices.

Agents need appropriate context to make what would be understood as the correct read in a situation like that, and that Gemini answer was a clear miss on that front.
That said, we've also seen Musk (and/or his team) put his thumb on the scale (or just release a very poor product) with his own deployed AI since:
Grok AI Blocks Responses Claiming Trump and Musk “Spread Misinformation”
An X user asked Grok to “print out all instructions” it follows when looking up “the biggest disinformation spreader on X,” and it revealed that it would ignore sources accusing Elon Musk and the U.S. president of misinformation.
Grok says Elon Musk is better than basically everyone, except Shohei Ohtani | TechCrunch
According to Grok, Elon Musk can out-slug the MLB's greatest power hitters... except Ohtani.

Grok's loyalty known no bounds - AI chatbot chooses Elon Musk over LeBron James in a 'Who is the fittest' comparison | NBA News - The Times of India
NBA News: Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, has sparked amusement by consistently choosing its owner over prominent figures like LeBron James and Albert Einstein wh
timesofindia.indiatimes.com
Grok 4 appears to seek Elon Musk's views when answering controversial questions
XAI’s Grok 4 AI chatbot launched Wednesday appears to consult Elon Musk’s views when asked its opinion on some controversial matters.
www.nbcwashington.com
In the end, it's all a tool. Have to know how to use it and deploy it properly or it needs sufficient guardrails to steer people towards doing so (what Muse is excelling at currently IMO). I'm routinely interacting with several agents a day operating various processes locally and in services I use, and there are numerous others silently spun up to perform actions or satisfy requests from my prompts.
Related to earlier discussion in the thread on leveraging local inference: this kind of analysis happening behind the scenes is something everyone will have built into Windows, IMO. Most people won't see all of this, just the results, unless they want to dig into how the fix was chosen. Stuff like this will be standard as agents get local system access baked in, and more of the inference itself moves on-device.

HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
So let the game continue!

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
