Time to put together the bug list for 269 so we can keep track. I will try and keep the top post up to date. Kinda of like our own Release notes. I now this is not complete so I am sure people will add to it. I will take the action item to update the top.
What was fixed & added.
What was improved or fixed.
---------------------------
1) Dark Video greatly improved.
2) Closed Caption
3) Recall button now functional (few bugs).
4) Pg Up & Pg Dn change stretch modes.
5) Open TV. Added
6) Channel Hide lock is now working. (few bugs)
7) OTA seems to be improved.
New Bugs found
----------------
1) Direct channel changing in favorites list no longer works.
2) Loss of Video and audio. EPG still works and channel changing. Required reboot to fix.
3) Sirus Channels do not get removed if you hide them through channel locking.
4) Flaky Info Screen. Does not stay up when pressed. Seems Random and not wide spread.
5) Some users are reporting some channel mapping issues with 2.69. Some channels are loosing the mapping.
6) When listening to a Sirius channel, and switching back and forth from full guide (with picture), the sound drops out a couple of times. (Random)
7) Browse feature does not show all channel info when browsing. Only the current channel can be seen and the next channel (May be works as designed).
8) 811's clock running slow when tuned to local channels. A timer set to go off at midnight will fire at 12:02 - 12:06, depending on how long I've been watching OTA.
Not Fixed.
----------
1) Random Acquiring Signal and Downloading Guide.
2) Some receivers are not working with Dolby Digitial. Possible cause is that the recevier needs to support 96Mhz mode.
3) Some users still have OTA issues. (Number has greatly descreased)
4) Some users still reporting dark video issues. (Number has greatly descreased)
5) Random "stuttering video". Looks like the picture jumps several frames at a time and takes a channel change or power cycle fix it.
6) Go from a analog channel to a digital channel can loose audio. Changing the channel will get the audio to come back.
7) Timers still don't work when programing a show to be recorded on the VCR.
8) Reports of Slow video and studdering when watching OTA for long periods of time.
9) Favorites list limits the amount of channels you can add to it. Manual states unlimited amount of channels.

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.

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.

This is a thread that will keep you apprised of 4K events that will be showing on Dish channel 540. Keep looking here for information.
As of today, 9-27-17, there are no scheduled events posted for the next 2 weeks. That is subject to change on a daily basis.

. can we say over priced garbage!!!I'm thinking of switching to DirecTV and wanted to know what equipment I should be asking for.
I'm wanting wired satellite due to that fact that I live in the sticks and there is no reliable, decent speed internet for streaming available.
What would be the correct equipment for three 4K tvs in the house?

why not just do a rebranding of the two
As they pivot away from using dishes and more toward streaming, the DirecTV brand would make much more sense.why not just do a rebranding of the two

Squirrels have eaten my antenna wire on my home unit that is a car radio running of the 12 volt side of my solar system. I need a new antenna and would like to add something to one of my existing masts. The reason I am looking at this that I am also covered in trees which has not been a problem, but something mast mounted would future proof me. Thanks in advance.

We have the pro-500 and it's a beast pulling in the signal!!! always full bars no matter how much it rains. it's worth every penny
I am a animal lover, but this year I gave up gardening. Even moved it to potted plants on the second story deck last year. Can't tell you how much use my Ruger 10-22 got, but it was a losing battle for me. Never got any food. So now they eat coax instead! 20 acres of dense woods behind me and my stuff tastes better, either veggies or wires!

i might think about running cables through some conduit to prevent the Squirrels from chewing em all to hell

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....
