Hello everyone,
I have had a Uniden SQ590 for years then the analog C band started to evaporate and I had to go buy something that would catch "Bits and Bytes".
I bought a 4dtv and hooked thatto my 10 Ft Scientific Atlanta dish with a Cal Amp Co Roter and Low Noise C LNB.
So far so good.
-----------
Then I started reading about all the fun you guys were having with FTA.
I just purchased a Coolsat 8000 HD TS Combo.
I thought all I would have to do is point the 4D at G4 (99*) switch to the 8000 and do a scan of that bird and magic would happen.
All I get is a message that it has nothing to update.
------------
So far I can get the Off Air HD local channels (that's a plus)
But not a peep out of the digital sat side of things.
I have an old Cal Amp 31186 KU LNB that I just read "isn't anything to write home about" But if I find a strong sig it should make a picture?
-------------
I think I have the LNB set right at "standard" with a 10750 output.
The book is more than a little vague for using a steerable BUD.
I have trees below G5 West (until winter) and clear sky to W6 East.
I am located in upstate NY.
Right now I am in the state of confusion with a big hole in my knowledge base tyeing this mess all together.
----------------
I don't even know where there is a KU signal I can test on to see if the KU is working at all let alone where to start on C band.
----------------.
I have been reading until my eyes are starting to bleed.
One more time please how do I get started here.
Thanks in advance guys,

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

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....

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.

WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNET PART OF IT. NO ONE WANTS A BOX CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET EITHER.
