Thats good, because my wife would be really ticked if i needed to add another dish, it would probably be the end of me as a dish sub, she already hates looking at the thing on the roof on our garage. (we are in a townhouse so no way to "hide" it)

It wouldn't be an additional dish.

If a particular market's HD Locals were moved to 61.5, then your "Dish 1000" would be replaced with a "Dish 1000.4" that points to 61.5, 72 and 77.

Those latter two slots won't be operational until probably some time this fall, and at that time, they will mirror all the 110/119 channels.

For those of us that are "eastern" and despise 129.. _can_ we switch to 61.5 today (and ditch 129) or are we better off waiting until all of the re-alignment happens?

I'm guessing/hoping (maybe wrongly) that I'd have a much better signal from 61.5 for my HD and thus much less rain/storm drop-outs.

I asked the same question in the last week of March when Dish lit up the Austin HD Locals on 61.5 - should I add a wing dish for 61.5 or wait for the imminent roll out of the Eastern Arc that would only require a single dish? The sage advice at that time was to wait, since EA would be up "soon".

But then AMC -14 didn't make it into orbit and Dish fell back on Plan B -- Recycling Space Junk

A lot can still go wrong, moving two old sats into position, etc.. And then there is the issue that EA is supposed to be exclusively for NEW subs for a while.

You'll have to make your own choice. But I'm very glad I had Dish install the wing dish back in March and did not wait for the fabled EA

So you get all your HD (not just locals) from 61.5? that is my goal.. its not that I care about where I get my locals (I can get those OTA when needed).. its where I get all my channels (which are all HD since I have the HD-only pkg). Actually in that light.. wouldn't a single 61.5 dish be all I need? (I gotta go look at a what-is-carried-on-which-sat chart... but it seemed like the uplink reports showed everything being mirrored on 61.5... just not sure if its "available" to me)

The only differences between 61.5 & 129 are RSN's and locals. All national HD is the same between the two. Check TheList link in my signature for what is on 61.5 & 129, it updates the minute the uplink reports come out.

Also, you'll need 110 for the older HD channels, HD Theater, TNT, etc.

No not all my HD. As digiblur has already noted, some of the "legacy" MPEG2 HD channels are still only available on 110. And in my case, I have a 1000.2 for 129/119/110 and a 500 for 61.5. So my 622 picks between 129 and 61.5 using an algorithm which is indistinguishable from magic

And since the HD Absolute package is not HD "only", I get some SD channels including SD locals (e.g. PBS) from 110/119. IIRC the program guide is still only on 110 or 119.

Talon Dancer

digiblur

Jul 10, 2008

Yep, that's another good point. If I remember correctly the guide needed for the DVR's is only on 119 right now. So you'll need 110/119/61.5 or 110/119/129 as a minimum.

kstuart

Jul 10, 2008

As soon as a satellite goes online at 72 or 77, it is likely that Dish will mirror the Guide at 61.5/72/77 and the 110 HD channels as well.

I think they were more of a transitional receiver bridging the VIPs to the Hopper. They were a PITA to install and were buggy. Personally, I thought at the time that they were the best receiver out there. The versatility of the VIP's with the new Hopper GUI and, by far, the coolest-looking front plate and lighting.

I don't recall that they came out just before hopper, but rather that they came out even before 722. Or could be thinking of 921.

As to the title pf the post, "rare" does not necessarily mean valuable or desirable.

You are thinking of the 921. The 922 was the first DVR with Sling functionality built in (that was eventually disabled along with the Sling Adapter for the 722s and the 1st Hopper because they relied on now-defunct Adobe Flash technology). With the bugginess described by others and the removal of its marquee feature (Sling) the 922 faded into obscurity once the Hopper 2 with built in Sling was released and they finally made the concept into a fully functional product.

I had one, the front panel lighting was cool, the menus were fresh and a lot more modern looking than the ViPs. However, it was very buggy and the Sling functionality just didn't work well - I think it was due to internet speeds at the time. I think I had to pay $40 for the Sling app on my phone iirc.

I had both the 921 and the 922. I used to buy them from DishDepot.com in Florida and trade in my older owned receiver towards the newest receiver. The 921 was a reboot receiver and the sling part was hit or miss. I look back on all those receivers I paid for over 25 years and I think it was just TV. If I had that money back now I would be lot richer. My Owned Hopper 3 is sitting in a drawer in my office not being used.

That was part of the Ergen scheme, to sell the product as well as the service. And who didn't want the best box?

Maybe they went to the hopper because they were running out of 3-digit model #s- 1022 would have been kinda clunky. Folks would have tried to say "one-thousand and twenty two" instead of "ten-twenty-two".

Like some say "two thousand and twenty six".

That's not really unusual. Cable companies like to the provide the box too. The phone company provided the phones in until the government forced them to allow third-party phones.

When walmart set a price...they weigh the container and the product...the product label only shows the weight of the product...I am sure if you brought your own plastic baggies to bring the product home you could get the cheaper price

Well, the bag can't weigh that much, right? But by law food product packaging must display the actual net weight of the product, i.e., the contents of the container, so by any logic, if not law, a store's stated per-ounce cost should reflect that figure. But since there's not any law regulating shelf statements, a store can say whatever it wants without violating any rules. So I guess the answer is more consumer legislation. Or simply caveat emptor.

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.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

Dish vs Streaming Apps?

Every time my Dish contract comes up I weigh the options of keeping Dish or switch to streaming. Right now I can watch/record the OTA channels vis my HDHomerun. I also can stream CBS and NBC via the Paramount+ and Peacock apps. What I would need to find is how to watch the Food Network, HGTV, Syfy, USA, Hallmark channels, Great American Family, Lifetime channels plus a few more with an app or two. My current Dish bill is $118, so I should be able to get a few apps for a lot less.

Any suggestions? I would want the best picture quality and audio quality I could get.

Does that raise, or lower, the overall price? Our State Government has been doing everything it can to minimize the impact of the current situation and put a freeze on the State Taxes on fuel sales at the pump. That's why we're still under $4.00/gal. while across the border in Michigan it's much higher.

WCWW/25 CW South Bend and WBKP/5 CW Marquette are now testing on the stream server. These are both already available on satellite.

Now live in the satellite guide:
663-2 PISTONS (663-1 is likely being reserved for an overflow feed of Detroit Sportsnet, if there's a 2027 MLB season)
675 THUNDER
693 CLIPPERS

HAWKS, HORNETS, GRZZLIES, HEAT, MAGIC, CAVLIERS, TWOLVES, BUCKS, PACERS and SPURS channels have also been added, however they are pointing to a TV Promise slate, which says they are working with DAZN and others to strike a deal for those teams.

Some more TPN swaps

Wait…..
So even though DAZN keeps touting 'only way to see games' if you are a subscriber to Choice (like my stepdad) if an agreement is reached he can see the Wolfies on 668?
I know the Wild are in dispute and a slate is on 668-1.
