I was in the chat chat last night and tried to tune into the tech chat on 101. I was unable to. My guide would jump from 100 to 104. I'm using a ViP622 with a Dish 1000 tuned to 110, 119 and 129.
Digiblur and TNGTony offered a few troubleshooting suggestions, which I followed. I did a front of box reset followed by a check switch. Everything checked out. The guide downloaded as well, but 101 did not check out. Digiblur asked about tp17 on 119 and then the mood of the chat turned a bit rowdy with the high quality of the Dish tech chat broadcast and the wealth of information being provided over the broadcast, and that's as far as I got.
Transponder 17 on 119 is indeed locked on my 622. I checked the list and went through the channels on that tp. I get all of them except for 101 and 150 (SpeedSD). 101 and 150 do not show up in my all channel list or my guide, but all the others from tp 17 do.
To make matters more curious, I have a 510 dvr in another room. It does receive 101 and 150, as well as the rest of the crew from tp 17.
I don't think I'm missing much with 101, especially after last night, and Speed (150) isn't a big deal to me, but I'm concerned their absence could be a symptom of larger problems. Any thoughts &/or suggestions?

Did the unplugged reset to no avail.
Thought I'd covered everything possible from my side, so I called tech support and described the situation -- check switch, front panel reset, unplugged reset, other channels from the same transponder showing fine, etc. The lady at tech support was very patient and seemed knowledgeable. She was also perplexed and asked if i'd hold while she checked a few things. When she came back she asked, "Is it possible you locked those channels out?"…
d'Oh! Id checked the channel lists, but not the channel locks. I have no idea why I locked them out, but I sure as **** did. I apologized to the tech and do the same for all of you. Sometimes, even if you are attempting to be resourceful and thorough, you end up being a doofus! Thanks again for your help. Now I'm all set for the next HD loaded tech chat!

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.

I remember this in the news too...
www.nbcnews.com
$14,000 spent on rented rotary phone
A widow rented a rotary dial telephone for 42 years, paying what her family calculates as more than $14,000 for a now- outdated phone.

That is a misnomer. In the old days you subscribed to telephone service. That included the telephone line and one telephone. An extension cost $1 a month extra. So that $14,000 over 42 years was for the service not the leased telephone. There is no way they paid $28 a month for 42 years for a leased telephone.I remember this in the news too...

I'm surprised Walmart hasn't banned this guy from all of their stores. He has been on their CASE the past few months.

Unless the specific product or its packaging is known at the time of weighing, estimating the tare weight for a PoS system is a tall order.
I'm pretty sure that produce bags can't get any thinner.
You certainly don't want to put unbagged produce on a belt, scale, or in a clerk's hands (gloved or not).
I would think that all the packaging would already be accounted for ... they weigh the container, subtract that from the scale, then add the product , so its weighing the Product onlyUnless the specific product or its packaging is known at the time of weighing, estimating the tare weight for a PoS system is a tall order.

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....

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.
I went into the Tools menu and requested a Guide Update. I'll try looking at it after the update completes.
edit — I now have the 148-01 4KFox events for Saturday, but not anything for 148-02 or 148-03 which don't even show as available channels. I do have 148-04 4KUSA.
As I recall you have the Flex package. Do you sub to multisport? -02 is FS1 and -03 is ESPN. -01 is Fox so you would get that if you sub to locals.Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.

Even though it didn't work out for the Hoosiers, this event recorded and I was able to watch it in full 4K HDR.
Timer is set to Record the Series. Thanks, Bobby!
I haven't posted in almost 17 years. Over the air, sat, offline, anything-but-the-internet is still one of my avid pursuits. Been playing with offline tv viewing and offline web browsing. I have great appreciations for this site still being here. It's so hard to find public communities that haven't sold out to social media company.

In order to participate in any Cutting Edge testing, you must sign a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Attached are a .docx (Microsoft Word) and PDF version of the latest DirecTV NDA. I found it easiest to complete the .docx version then paste a photo or scan image of my signature, cropped closely to just the signature into it as a picture. Then set Word to wrap text around the picture so that the picture follows the text "Signature".
People who have better PDF tools than I do may prefer that version.
When you apply for any Cutting Edge testing, you will be told how to send the signed copy.
