Warning - lost SD locals for a week to get HD!
I live in Richmond, VA. I found out that I will need a side dish to pick up 61.5 which carries Richmond HD locals. Called Dish last night to set it up. The CSR scheduled the installation for Thursday, June 12. So far so good. This morning when I attempted to access WWBT (local NBC affiliate) in SD, it was gone. I can get my other locals OTA, but not NBC. When I called again today to find out what happened, I was informed (by 3 different CSR's) that setting up the work order to add the side dish also discontinued my current local SD channels - not on June 12, which would be logical, but immediately!??
Even worse, the CSR's said it was impossible to undo. So now I must do without NBC for a whole week for which DISH will reimburse me the magnificent sum of $1.25 (1/4 of my monthly local charge.
Luckily, I didn't lose all locals since I get the others OTA. But for those who have no OTA antenna and want to get your locals in HD and need a work order, be prepared to lose SD access from the the time you place the order until it is complete.

Jrchip01, you need to call them back (again and again until they get it right) I had a 61.5 dish added a few weeks ago and I ordered it at least 10 days in advance of the install. I experienced no service interruption to my SD locals.

Follow-up on loss of SD locals to get HD locals

tbarney:
Thank you for responding.
I figured after three tries that I would be wasting my time to try again. The first CSR did say he could probably "undo" the change but at the cost of rescheduling the service appointment. While he was researching this possibility he put me on hold. The next thing I heard was some ominous clicking, followed by three rings and the famous "if you would like to make a call, please hang up......". When I called again, I got a different CSR who along with her successor claimed that undoing the change was impossible. I have sent a description of this issue to Charlie Ergen (CEO@Echostar.com). Perhaps
he can get all the CSR's to act as yours did. I will post any response I get.
With 4 days to go, and having rigged up a pair of "rabbit ears" to receive the NBC local channel via the RF input on my TV, I will live with the problem rather than run the risk of another foulup by the next CSR.

Got SD locals back!
CEO@Echostar responded to my e-mail by restoring my SD locals. Obviously, as tbarney implied, all the CSR's I talked to had it wrong.

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....

Lately my eight year old Dell laptop has been shutting off even when I have a full battery. I have had to keep it plugged up all the time to keep this from happening. Any idea what is causing this? I replaced the battery about three years ago.

I set up a music server for my brother a few years ago. It's basically a small headless computer but it needs to have a DHCP IP address reserved for it in the router settings. This was easy to do in his DSL router. He's switching to Starlink now and I was wondering if these setting are easily accessible in the Starlink router. I'm pretty sure he will be getting the latest V5 router.

If you can restrict the DHCP address space to assign addresses to one end of the subnet (i.e. x.x.x.50+), you can manually assign the IP address on pretty much any operating system. This is a default behavior on several popular routers. As the Router Mini only supports 235 devices, I expect that's already done.
Another option is to use a router that supports PoE to power the antenna. This article discusses that option (under PoE Power heading):

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.
