This is long but please hear me out:
Ok. So I have two Dish 500 systems that have been used in my household for about 4 years or so. One if used for a bedroom and one is used for the living room. Every now and then I like to move one of the receivers to my room so I can watch TV in my own room. This has been working out fine for quite some time now. Eventually I actually installed a splitter in the other bedroom and put a coxial cable from it to my room. That way I don't have to set up a single coxial cable every time I want to watch TV in my room. Just two days ago I moved the receiver from the living to my room to watch my usual routine TV. It worked just fine. Later that night I put the receiver back out in the living room and reconnected everything. When I powered on the receiver it kept trying to acquire the satellite signal. The progress just stayed on 0 of 5. No matter how hard I tried I simply could not get the receiver to get a satellite signal anymore. I even tried changing coxial cables. I tried about 4 different ones and still had the same result. The strange thing was, the second receiver I have still worked perfectly. I even took the second receiver and put it out in the living room, powered it on, and it worked just fine still. So then I got a strange idea. I took the splitter out of the bedroom and installed it in the living room. Then I connected the bedroom receiver to the splitter, and the living room receiver to the splitter as well. To my surprise, both receivers worked fine. Then I disconnected the bedroom receiver from the splitter, and the living room one then stopped working. Then I reconnected the bedroom receiver to the splitter again and the living room one started working again. Heres whats even stranger. While I still had this whole setup going I tried just turing off the bedroom receiver. And surprisingly the living room one still continued to work. Then I unplugged the bedroom receiver and well... the living room one quit working. Then I plugged it back in and the living room one was working again. So I am REALLY stumped here. So yea. Theres my story. Can anyone tell me what in the world is going on? Please, and Thank you!

To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.
Actually it looks like there are a lot of features new or updated, although most are on a gradual rollout schedule.

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.

WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNET PART OF IT. NO ONE WANTS A BOX CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET EITHER.

That would be handy. Download the latest RNA snippets that can be updated over 5G and no more shots! You're a Genius!Cough, cough. COVID vaccine implants.
Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. 
Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

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....
