Bright House is infamous for not knowing when "new" is no longer "new." In the Tampa Bay market we got some new HD channels in December. You guys in CFL got them in February. So, here we are four months later, and the BHN website for Tampa Bay still says "Just added - more HD Channels!" and this page, HD Channel Line-Up - Bright House Networks Tampa Bay
has "new" next to channels we have now had for four months.
Attention BHN- It has been over 120 days since you added these channels. They are not NEW anymore. Add some more channels, like CinemaxHD, StarzHD, SciFI HD, Investigation Discovery HD (if it even exisits yet), History Channel International HD (if it exists yet), and many more. But your addition of History Channel HD and NatGeo HD, among the handful of channels added in December, while wonderful additions, are no longer NEW channels!
Fix the site... add us some channels!
While you are at it, I'll take Starz on Demand. Verizon Fios is coming to St. Pete in the next year or so and you really need to step it up a notch. Move more of the analog channels to digital and make some space. It takes about 5 little old ladies living on SS with their cable bills for the most basic package to equal what you get out of me every month between cable television and Internet. So you move ten more channels to digital only and free up that analog wasted bandwidth and piss off these five old ladies. So be it. There are just as many HD fans that have been faithful subscribers for over a decade as you have slowly grown your choices and have paid for your most expensive packages and added on features such as phone and Internet. We are the digital age, we are the bread and butter of your income. We are getting more choices and many will leave when Verizon comes. Give up on trying to hold onto these old accounts. Think about it... you piss off these old croggies everytime you move channels. Look at the uproar with the December channel realignment. That was insane! Tell those customers to go pound sand and focus on those of us who spend the big money and we will be with you for the next 30-50 years of our lives if you keep us happy with content. BHN- you've sunk into trying to make everybody happy while making few happy. Scrap as much of the analog as the law will allow. Tell the crybabbies to get a digital box and step into the digital age. I know they resist change. They hate it. But they need to change. You need to make the change.
Bring on more HD!!!!!! Scrap the analog!!!!!
To those with a fixed income and basic cable- You are keeping us down by resisting change. If you can't afford another $20 a month on cable, go get a first, second, or third job if you want TV bad enough. I want more HD and your cheap desire to have analog is keeping BHN from giving me more choice. They are licking your butt, and I don't know why. Maybe it is because you cry and call the newspaper everytime somebody does something you don't like.
Yes, I am bitching... but like these people... everybody bitches about something. They bitch about the government channels being moved to digital and they are the ones that bitched about an area code overlay, which due to their bitching we got an area code split here to 727. They couldn't handle ten digit dialing, and bitched enough to the point where the plan was changed to split Tampa and St. Pete into 813 and 727. All the businesses in St. Pete with 813 had to change their stationary and business cards, yellow page listings, all marketing materials, because the crybabies couldn't handle having two area codes like they do in cities like NYC.
Bitch bitch bitch! Resist change. I can bitch too! Hear me cry BHN! I'm one of the ones you make the most money off of. Follow the money trail!

This started a couple months ago. I have 2 H3s on one network, both with 2 EHD identical 3 TB seperately powered so all recordings are accessible by all 4k & J4s (8 of them).
On one H3 (not the main one that controls the MOCA network), after it reboots, it doesn't recognize it has two EHDs plugged into it. Rebooting the EHD by their power source doesn't fix it. Resetting the network doesn't. Software h3 reset doesn't fix it. Rebooting MOCA h3 doesn't fix it but so far, after 3+ cold boots (unplug pwr to H3 with unrecognized EHDs), it finally it figures out they are plugged into it. BUT.... Then when you open a program it only partially shows series and episodes, but instead of showing recordings, it only shows upcoming airings. HELP!!!!

Several Dish offers showed up today in my account. Once you choose one the rest are removed. Offers were Showtime, Starz, AMC and others.

Not for me, mines has no mention of how long aka the offer period and the Terms and conditions the $0.00 is good for. All I see is one can lose $5.00 if you decide to remove it before day 31 after you add it to the account.
You have a different offer that is free for a shorter timeframe which is different than the one that I and bnewt saw without defining the promotion period as I sent the question to DISH Care via Facebook Messenger and this is the response I got back 20 minutes ago.

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....

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.

Two bugs out and three new bugs in.
Yep. Just got a call from a customer who said her DVR buttons stopped working. Told her about the new software and had her reboot her H3, problem solved.Two bugs out and three new bugs in.

Please post your remote make/model here and any details of your issue. We are looking to collect as many examples as possible. I may reach out to you for your receiver number, but please do not post it here.
If you've already reported this to me, please repost it here so I can track all instances in one thread.
Thanks!
Brittany

I was having similar issues last night while watching and recording the NLCS game on 148. When I tried resuming the game at one point the screen went blank and I couldn't get my H3 to respond to any remote commands. Eventually the Hopper went to a HD channel but still no remote response. After a while the Hopper went into a re-boot cycle. This happened at least 3 times. I was using an IR universal remote only.
A little frustrating to have the game broken up like that but at least the Brewers won
Yea, I've only been a CIO for the last 30 years!
Trust me, when something important breaks, they get to own it!

Continuing the Kilauea thread in the Pub here. Perhaps the Iceland one too next time there's remarkable activity.
Currently there is precursory lava flowing into the crater, leading to the next episode that'll probably start within the next day.
You can see the pace of inflation / deflation here. It serves as the primary predictor for when the expect the eruptions, which coincide w/ inflation turning into significant deflation and last for several hours on average with significant fountaining.

Wife and I like the AfarTV feeds, for the discussion along w/ them, though they're otherwise just mirrors of the official USGS feeds.

Oooo, quite the show now. All three vents have doming and overflows. The cone that built up around the North vent lost its upper quarter at 02:50 Oct 17 and is now spewing lava at a healthy rate. Don't know if I would say it's a fountain, but it's close.
edit: The USGS has called the official start of Episode 55 as starting at 03:19 HST Oct 17, 2026:
Alert Level: WATCH, Color Code: ORANGE 2026-10-17 13:43:56 UTC
HVO/USGS Volcanic Activity Notice
Volcano: Kilauea (VNUM #332010)
Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH
Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE
Issued: Saturday, October 17, 2026, 3:43 AM HST
Source: Hawaiian Volcano Observatory
Notice Number: 2026/H488
Location: N 19 deg 25 min W 155 deg 17 min
Elevation: 4091 ft (1247 m)
Area: Hawaii
Summary: Episode 55 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption began at 3:19 AM HST on October 17, 2026.
Volcanic Activity:
Episode 55 of lava fountaining in Halemaʻumaʻu began at the summit of Kīlauea began at 3:19 AM HST on October 17, 2026.
Fountain heights are relatively low at about 100-150 feet (30-45 m), and it is not clear whether this episode will evolve to the same heights as previous episodes. Continuous overflows from the vents began yesterday, October 16, just before 6 a.m. HST and transitioned into episode 55 fountains at 3:19 a.m. HST this morning. The current forecast is for winds are blowing from the north-northeast direction, which suggests that volcanic gas emissions and volcanic material may be distributed to the south-southwest direction from Halemaʻumaʻu.

- All eruptive vents and lava flows are confined to Halemaʻumaʻu crater within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Tephra fall from volcanic ash clouds is greatest within 3 miles (5 km) of the vents, lighter ash and Pele's Hair may stay suspended for large distances from the vents.
Kīlauea seems to be returning to the "normal" eruption script, impressive fountaining from the North Vent. For once, the V2 Cam has the best overall shot:
The lava flows have covered a good portion of the Halemaʻumaʻu crater floor.
