I'm moving on to a fourth 622 - can't Dish make one that actually works?
1st - Reboot, reboot, lock and reboot. Average 4-6 reboots a night (only use about 5 hours every night).
Tech comes out, works on whatever.
2nd - Reboots, and later on locks the screen reboots and only works for 10min before rebooting again.
Another Tech comes out - changes the switch.
3rd - Screen flickers at random. Ficker consists of every other frame being dropped and the audio doing the same thing. Pausing and hitting play gets it going again.
4th - Waiting for this one to show up in the mail. Probably another lemon.
Very frustrating. Can't wait for contract to expire and going back to Direct. 6 months to go
.
Even after all this = they still want $200 to get a 722.

Simple, charming. Entire premise is quite silly but Cary Grant carries it across the line in good fashion.

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

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....
