SatelliteGuys.US Forum Rules - Updated August 10th, 2010
I. Purpose or Mission Statement
SatelliteGuys.US is America's Premiere Satellite News, Talk and Information Site. SatelliteGuys is known for reporting rumors from within the industry. All such rumors are labeled as such.
SatelliteGuys.US is a place where everyone is a friend with people you have not met yet. We welcome everyone no matter their knowledge of the industry; we especially welcome "newbies" and work to treat them well as we were all "newbies" at one time or another. We want all SatelliteGuys Members to feel like they are part of the SatelliteGuys family.
SatelliteGuys.US is designed to be a family friendly site. This means that our material is safe to view at work, school etc.
SatelliteGuys is an ENGLISH Speaking Forum. All posts must be posted in the ENGLISH language, non ENGLISH posts will be removed by staff. For our friends who speak a different language we have installed a language converter at the bottom of every page which can convert SatelliteGuys to your spoken language.
If there are questions you have about the world of Satellite Television then SatelliteGuys is where you will find the answers you seek. We have many experts in the field here willing to help you out.
About the only thing we won't help you out with is Satellite Piracy. If you are here trying to figure out how to get Satellite Television without paying the bill then please do us all a favor and leave this site now. SatelliteGuys works closely with Dish Network and DirecTV to help fight piracy. You do not want us turning in your information to these guys because you are trying to steal satellite service.
SatelliteGuys.US Forums
The SatelliteGuys.US forums are for discussion of various topics related to the world of satellite and home theater technology.
TheList.SatelliteGuys.US
The List is SatelliteGuys very own Satellite List. With The List you can see what's up there in the clear. This is perfect for folks with Free To Air systems as it tells them where to find in the clear programming.
II. Forum Rules
A. Forum Leadership
Their "Proud Staff Member" icon easily identifies the SatelliteGuys Staff. All of these folks are unpaid volunteers and are here to help out to make sure that every visit to SatelliteGuys is a fun informative one. If you ever have any issues feel free to contact any of our staff members for help.
You will notice that unlike other sites our staff is all labeled the same and are not labeled as Moderators, Super Moderators or Administrators. This is done because to you – our members -- none of this makes a difference to your experience. All our staff is here to help you out. While internally our staff may have different designations this is only done as all staff have different responsibilities of what they do to keep the site running. Again all staff members are labeled as "Proud Staff Member" is because they are here to help you out.
B. Unacceptable Forum Behavior
1. Flaming
Flaming is considered the angry or abusive behavior toward another forum member. This takes the form of calling another member insulting or offensive names, but can also take the form of other insults or derogatory statements, including derogatory statements about race, religion, gender, sexual identity or other characteristics.
If a Staff Members feels that a member's behavior is a detriment to these forums, they reserve the right to act accordingly. These forums exist as a community of hobbyists helping hobbyists.
2. Spamming/Commercial sellers
As SatelliteGuys.US is a commercial enterprise, commercial advertisers are allowed only with the approval of the SatelliteGuys.US forum staff. If you would like to request permission to advertise on these forums, please contact one of our friendly staff members who would be happy to help you out! We have implemented Google Ads and Syndicated ads from a number of third party sponsors for unregistered members for this purpose. Acting as an agent for another website selling products and advertising their website or products on the forums is not permitted.
Spam is defined as unwanted, unsolicited commercial emails. While great lengths have been taken by the SatelliteGuys.US Staff to prevent spam from appearing on the forums, it still happens. Members can help deal with spam by reporting the spam post. This will alert our staff so that they can take action.
3. Harassment of other members
Acts committed on the SatelliteGuys.US forums that are found to be harassing other members or staff to invoke a reaction, achieve monetary gain or simply annoy members or staff will not be tolerated. This includes belittling, berating, or general harsh comments towards other members and staff.
4. Illegal activities
SatelliteGuys.US will not tolerate any use of the forums to facilitate any illegal activities. Links to websites that share illegal software, music, movies, sites that promote satellite piracy or other data are not permitted. Links to private FTP sites with illegal content are also not permitted. Discussions on how to circumvent smartcard security, how to modify equipment to intercept scrambled subscription programming, try to break the copy-protection of DVR recorded software and other discussions of obviously illegal activity will not be permitted.
A note on Smart Card Talk / Discussion
At SatelliteGuys we do not allow the discussion of Smart Card security technology. As we have grown we have learned that even the most honest discussions on Smart Cards eventually turn into questionable discussion bordering on hack talk... And that's not what SatelliteGuys is about.
SatelliteGuys.US actively works with Dish Network, DirecTV and other agencies including law enforcement officials to help stamp out illegal satellite related activities.
5. Political Posts
SatelliteGuys is a place to discuss satellite and home theater technologies, it is not a place for political discussions. Any political posts in any forum besides our Pub Members only "Pit" forum will be removed by staff. Repeated posting of political posts by a member not made in our Political Pit Forum could earn a warning or possibly even a banning.
6. Reporting posts
Reporting a post through the use of the icon alerts the staff that there is a post that has a problem. It should be used to report spam, flaming, illegal activities, scammers using the Classified forum to find victims, and other violations of the SatelliteGuys.US forums Terms Of Service. However the Report a post function should not be abused,
7. Posting images/gallery
As a service to the members of this forum, user galleries have been implemented. Use of these galleries is only for you to show off your setups and equipment. These galleries are not meant for family photos or photos of a commercial nature. SatelliteGuys staff reserves the right to remove any photos or albums as they see fit and we are not responsible for any lost images. This is a place to share your images, not a place to store your images, so make sure you have a backup of all images you upload.
8. Adult material (language & pornography)
Pornography and other adult-oriented material (including hate speech, violent behavior and other questionable material) are not permitted in the general forum. Comments directed towards other members are also not tolerated. There is no warning for this offense. Please use your best judgment in this regard; remember we are a family friendly site. We here at SatelliteGuys do understand that sometimes there is a need for adult oriented talk and we have a special private forum called "The Back Room" which is only available to SatelliteGuys supporters and is also password protected. "The Back Room" is a place for those 21 years of age or older.
9. Group Buys
Group buys are not permitted on the SatelliteGuys.US forums. If there is a product that you feel other users would benefit from, please feel free to contact one of our staff. We are always looking for new and exciting products to bring to our community.
10. Links to Other Sites
Users are not permitted to use SatelliteGuys.US forums to direct community members to external sites or publications for the purposes of personal gain. Examples include, but are not limited to, sites which are commercial in nature, sites which compensate the user with free gifts such as ipods in exchange for bringing users to that site; sites that pay users for click-throughs, etc. These types of activities are considered spam and will be dealt with as such.
Links in signatures are no longer permitted by normal registered members, however Pub Members / Supporting Founders are allowed links in their signatures as long as they are not over the top commercials. We reserve right to remove links which we deem inapropriate. Current registered members with links in their signatures are grandfathered however SatelliteGuys staff can and will remove links if we find them in violation of our links rule above.
Because the forms that these schemes present themselves in are constantly changing, staff judgment will decide whether they qualify as a violation of the terms of service. When in doubt, PM a staff member before posting.
11. General Unruly Behavior
Any behavior that is deemed as disruptive to the forums will be dealt with at the staff's discretion. We are here to provide you the best site for discussing Satellite / Home Theater Technologies, we are not here to babysit, this includes trolling.
Questioning staff decisions in any public forum is not allowed, if you have a problem with a decision made by a staff member take it up with them or any staff member in a private message. Posts questioning staff decisions will be removed and the user making such posts may receive infractions or banned accordingly.
In short, if you're about to post something just to get under the skin of a fellow forum member, staff or sponsors, don't. Your actions will be dealt with at the discretion of the staff. Other members of the forum may report such activity without fear of repercussion.
C. Special-Purpose Forums
1. Pub Members Bar & Grill
The SatelliteGuys Bar & Grill is a special private forum where SatelliteGuys Supporters can let their hair down and discuss a wide variety of topics, both satellite and non satellite related.
SatelliteGuys.US is an expensive site to operate; we run on our own dedicated servers and are hosted by a premium internet server co-location site. In addition SatelliteGuys.US does a number of special activities each year, which cost a great deal to pull off.
SatelliteGuys.US has sponsors and in addition uses advertising from Google Adsense plus other 3rd party ad agencies to help pay the bills, however these sponsorships do not pay for all our expenses to keep the lights on, so we take donations from our members to help keep the site online.

2. SatelliteGuys Classifieds
The Classified area allows supporting Pub Members to sell and trade goods. The classifieds section is mainly for selling of electronics type items such as satellite and home theater equipment. Commercial use by dealers to sell goods is not permitted. Due to some issues in the past we cannot permit members to sell computer software. Classifieds ads may only be posted by Supporting SatelliteGuys Pub Members as our thank you for helping us keep the lights on here at SatelliteGuys.US. For information about becoming a SatelliteGuys Pub Member please CLICK HERE.
Please use your best judgment when purchasing from a user of these forums. We cannot prevent scam artists from registering on these forums and cannot be held responsible for bad transactions.
If you have any issues, please report them to any staff member.
3. The Uplink Center
The Uplink Center is a special forum on SatelliteGuys.US where you can get some insight of what may be coming soon to Dish Network. SatelliteGuys staff that have special software and hardware, which can monitor the channel data tables from these satellite providers and report any changes made to these data-streams, run the Uplink Center.
It should be noted that any changes reported are just a look at what's in the tables and do not necessarily mean that channels listed in these reports will ever be made available from any of the mentioned satellite companies. There have been cases in the past where channels have been added to the tables but have never been made available to customers. It should also be noted that just because a channel is added to the tables does not necessarily mean that the provider is actually transmitting the channel mention.
The Uplink Center is meant to be a fun crystal ball of what may be coming in the future. SatelliteGuys.US does not guarantee the accuracy of the data, which is posted in these uplink reports.
4. The Pit
This is a special private forum for our Supporting Pub Members to talk politics. This is the only area on SatelliteGuys where Political Discussion is allowed. The rules for this Political Forum is make the discussion about the topic at hand and not about the opinions of other members. Users flaming other members for their political opinions will be removed from The Pit without notice. This helps keep The Pit a place with active political discussion without the hard feelings as found on other forums.
5. The Back Room
This is a special private forum exclusively for Supporting Pub Members, where SatelliteGuys.US members can discuss adult topics with other adults. After a member becomes a Pub Member this forum is still disabled for them by default. A member must input the special access password to turn on this forum for viewing and posting.
This forum is not for posting copyrighted photos from other sites or for posting stuff that may be illegal or contain scenes, which may be gross such as dead or dismembered bodies. While The Back Room is for adults to play it is not a free for all. Staff may at anytime remove access to this special forum to any member at their discretion
D. Punishment for rules violations
1. Warnings
If you receive a warning, it is just that, a warning. The points system does not apply. If you are on the receiving end of a warning, perhaps you should take a step back and consider your actions.
2. Infractions
If you receive an infraction, it is most likely due to the fact that a moderator or an administrator views your actions as breaking the rules of this forum. Members may also report posts to administrators and moderators to help police the forums when they feel that another member is out of line. This is a community that thrives on being helpful and willing. If you receive an infraction, please take a moment to consider your actions and ask yourself if they are contributing to the overall purpose of these forums.
If you feel that you have received an infraction for no reason, or a reason that you feel is invalid. Please feel free to voice your concerns to any staff member. Please understand that your concerns will not be unheard. This forum exists because of the users, and we must all remember this.
3. Banishment from SatelliteGuys.US
Infractions are all assigned a point value, and will all last for 180 days. The infractions and their point values are as follows:
If you receive infractions worth 10 points, you are automatically banned for 3 days. If you receive infractions worth 25 points, you are automatically permanently banned from these forums.
This procedure is in place to help keep the forums a fair and just place.
E. General Forum Etiquette
1. Search tools
Forum search is used to locate information on the forums themselves. The Search function in the navigation bar across the top also gives you quick access to search the forums. There is an option to search thread titles or posts. Below those options, you can opt to use Google to search these forums.
This search service is provided as a means for another search method. Due to the nature of the built in vBulletin search, sometimes it can be difficult to find exactly what you are looking for. Also, due to the sheer size of these forums, using multiple search engines can yield the results you are looking for. Feel free to use them all.
Google (and other WWW search engines) yield lots of information about topics that are not covered on the forums. Many times they can yield more information than is available on the forums alone.
Searching for information is helpful because much of the information that members (particularly new members) seek is already present on the forums, either in the FAQ sections, the Wiki, or in forum posts. It is recommended that members seeking specific information search the forums before posting a question. Most of the time, the answers can be found without having to create a new thread or post. This helps future new members by not creating lots of threads about the same topic, making information easier for members to locate.
2. Private messages
Private messages, or PMs, are, as the name implies, private communications between two forum members, similar to email. PMs are excellent for negotiating classified transactions or asking questions that, for whatever reason, you don't want visible to all forum members. Do not use PMs to SPAM or bug other members. It should be noted that certain members of the SatelliteGuys staff have the ability to read PMs when there is an issue.
3. Personal information
Personal information such as addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and such should be kept off the forums. This is for members' protection and privacy. While the general forum membership would likely not use any such information maliciously, anyone with Internet access could easily read the content of these forums, take the information and do who-knows-what with it.
The SatelliteGuys.US staff is not responsible for anything resulting from the information you post on the forums and will remove information upon request.
4. Assisting other forum members
This hobby grows because members help other members. Please respect the new members, even when questions are obvious. Not everyone knows the things you do. REMEMBER WE WERE ALL NEWBIES ONCE!
Also, remember that not everyone that offers assistance knows what he or she is doing, so it is possible to receive incorrect information. Again, the SatelliteGuys staff is not responsible for anything that happens as a result of acting on information you receive on these forums.
Please use your better judgment when following information on these forums. If in doubt, please do not hesitate to ask for confirmation. Chances are, other members will be happy to provide it or to question the advice offered. After all, two heads are usually better than one.
5. Avatars
SatelliteGuys.US forum members are allowed to express themselves by using graphics known as Avatars. These Avatars can be most any graphic in any size of up to 100 x 100 pixels in size. If you are a supporting Pub Member your Avatar can even be animated! (CLICK HERE for details of becoming a Pub Member)
While we give you a lot of freedom of what you can have for an Avatar there are some that you can't have, and those are (but not limited to) Any type of political avatar, any type of avatar which could be considered a commercial advertisement, any avatar that contains a URL to any other website, an avatar which people may consider rude or offensive, any avatar which would be considered inappropriate for the work, school or church environment, this includes sexually suggestive avatars.
6. Signatures.
SatelliteGuys.US forum members are allowed to express themselves by using a signature. Signatures must not include links to political, religious, or commercial sites. The ban on political avatars includes ideologically loaded statements as well as endorsements or attacks on political officials or issues. All signatures must be in the English language. Signatures must not use any HTML code nor contain any images.
This is primarily a satellite TV and home theater technology site, so your signature, while reflecting your personality, should be kept somewhat relevant.
Signatures may be no longer then five lines long, and they should be formatted in a small font; so as not to make posts excessively long. The staff may remove or edit a signature at their discretion if it violates the site policy. Failure to comply with the staff will result in infractions and or banning of your account.
7. Referral Programs
All satellite companies offer their customers a referral program which allows them to earn money for referring their friends to sign up for their services. Because everyone here basically has these referrals available to them a number of folks have posted their referral information which in turn had many members doing the same thing. This then cluttered up the site as it turned into spam and because of this we do not permit the posting of referral information to the forums, nor do we allow posts from members seeking referral information from members. Sending referals via our private message system is also not allowed. if you receive one of these referrals via a PM and did not request to please contact a SatelliteGuys staff member for help. If you are a member looking for a referral please private message any SatelliteGuys staff member who will be happy to give you a money saving referral. The SatelliteGuys staff is a group of volunteers who work hard and they appreciate it when they can earn money from giving referrals to our members. (Please note from Octber 1, 2013 - December 31, 2013 Pub Members, Supprting Founders and Staff members are allowed to post Referrals in their signatures. For full rules on this special promotion please see the Pub Members Referral Program in our Pub Members forum.)

If you receive an infraction, please take a moment to consider your actions and ask yourself if they are contributing to the overall purpose of these forums.
If you feel that you have received an infraction for no reason, or a reason that you feel is invalid. Please feel free to voice your concerns to any staff member. Please understand that your concerns will not be unheard. This forum exists because of the users, and we must all remember this.
3. Banishment from SatelliteGuys.US
Infractions are all assigned a point value, and will all last for 180 days. The infractions and their point values are as follows:
If you receive infractions worth 10 points, you are automatically banned for 3 days. If you receive infractions worth 25 points, you are automatically permanently banned from these forums.
This procedure is in place to help keep the forums a fair and just place.
E. General Forum Etiquette
1. Search tools
Forum search is used to locate information on the forums themselves. The Search function in the navigation bar across the top also gives you quick access to search the forums. There is an option to search thread titles or posts. Below those options, you can opt to use Google to search these forums.
This search service is provided as a means for another search method. Due to the nature of the built in vBulletin search, sometimes it can be difficult to find exactly what you are looking for. Also, due to the sheer size of these forums, using multiple search engines can yield the results you are looking for. Feel free to use them all.
Google (and other WWW search engines) yield lots of information about topics that are not covered on the forums. Many times they can yield more information than is available on the forums alone.
Searching for information is helpful because much of the information that members (particularly new members) seek is already present on the forums, either in the FAQ sections, the Wiki, or in forum posts. It is recommended that members seeking specific information search the forums before posting a question. Most of the time, the answers can be found without having to create a new thread or post. This helps future new members by not creating lots of threads about the same topic, making information easier for members to locate.
2. Private messages
Private messages, or PMs, are, as the name implies, private communications between two forum members, similar to email. PMs are excellent for negotiating classified transactions or asking questions that, for whatever reason, you don't want visible to all forum members. Do not use PMs to SPAM or bug other members. It should be noted that certain members of the SatelliteGuys staff have the ability to read PMs when there is an issue.
3. Personal information
Personal information such as addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and such should be kept off the forums. This is for members' protection and privacy. While the general forum membership would likely not use any such information maliciously, anyone with Internet access could easily read the content of these forums, take the information and do who-knows-what with it.
The SatelliteGuys.US staff is not responsible for anything resulting from the information you post on the forums and will remove information upon request.
4. Assisting other forum members
This hobby grows because members help other members. Please respect the new members, even when questions are obvious. Not everyone knows the things you do. REMEMBER WE WERE ALL NEWBIES ONCE!
Also, remember that not everyone that offers assistance knows what he or she is doing, so it is possible to receive incorrect information. Again, the SatelliteGuys staff is not responsible for anything that happens as a result of acting on information you receive on these forums.
Please use your better judgment when following information on these forums. If in doubt, please do not hesitate to ask for confirmation. Chances are, other members will be happy to provide it or to question the advice offered. After all, two heads are usually better than one.
5. Avatars
SatelliteGuys.US forum members are allowed to express themselves by using graphics known as Avatars. These Avatars can be most any graphic in any size of up to 100 x 100 pixels in size. If you are a supporting Pub Member your Avatar can even be animated! (CLICK HERE for details of becoming a Pub Member)
While we give you a lot of freedom of what you can have for an Avatar there are some that you can't have, and those are (but not limited to) Any type of political avatar, any type of avatar which could be considered a commercial advertisement, any avatar that contains a URL to any other website, an avatar which people may consider rude or offensive, any avatar which would be considered inappropriate for the work, school or church environment, this includes sexually suggestive avatars.
6. Signatures.
SatelliteGuys.US forum members are allowed to express themselves by using a signature. Signatures must not include links to political, religious, or commercial sites. The ban on political avatars includes ideologically loaded statements as well as endorsements or attacks on political officials or issues. All signatures must be in the English language. Signatures must not use any HTML code nor contain any images.
This is primarily a satellite TV and home theater technology site, so your signature, while reflecting your personality, should be kept somewhat relevant.
Signatures may be no longer then five lines long, and they should be formatted in a small font; so as not to make posts excessively long. The staff may remove or edit a signature at their discretion if it violates the site policy. Failure to comply with the staff will result in infractions and or banning of your account.
7. Referral Programs
All satellite companies offer their customers a referral program which allows them to earn money for referring their friends to sign up for their services. Because everyone here basically has these referrals available to them a number of folks have posted their referral information which in turn had many members doing the same thing. This then cluttered up the site as it turned into spam and because of this we do not permit the posting of referral information to the forums, nor do we allow posts from members seeking referral information from members. Sending referals via our private message system is also not allowed. if you receive one of these referrals via a PM and did not request to please contact a SatelliteGuys staff member for help. If you are a member looking for a referral please private message any SatelliteGuys staff member who will be happy to give you a money saving referral. The SatelliteGuys staff is a group of volunteers who work hard and they appreciate it when they can earn money from giving referrals to our members. (Please note from Octber 1, 2013 - December 31, 2013 Pub Members, Supprting Founders and Staff members are allowed to post Referrals in their signatures. For full rules on this special promotion please see the Pub Members Referral Program in our Pub Members forum.)

Due to security concerns and the fact that the Tapatalk Plugin for Xenforo is no longer being updated we have removed Tapatalk support from SatelliteGuys.
For those who were using it we recommend using our PWA App instead which is faster and does not have all the spam Tapatalk had. Below is a graphic showing how to add SatelliteGuys to your devices home screen. (While iOS is shown the process is mostly the same for Android.)
Thanks for your understanding.

I have had good experiences with Brave but lately I am frustrated with it.
Now when I launch the app it shows a box at the bottom asking if I want to go back to the last opened page. It is in conveniently located and I would prefer to eliminate it.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Please let's not sidetrack the discussion into an exploration of why I don't care for it or a lecture about all the wonderful aspects of the feature. I just do not care for it.

I don't have an Android phone so I don't know if this will apply to the Brave settings on your android device but it works on the desktop for me.
Change this setting to either startup to a different website or a new tab page. I have mine set to open to google.com instead of where I left off and it doesn't ask me at the next startup if I want to open the last opened page unless it crashed.

Hello everyone.
I am new here and I done a search on MLB Extra Innings and DISH and it led me to this forum and so I signed up and hopefully someone can help me out with some issues.
First off, I am a DISH Outdoors customer and I signed up for service back in late October of 2025. I have a Wally HD Receiver and I am using the DISH Playmaker OS 2.1 as my Antenna that operates on 110 and 119 Western Arc and Alternative 61.5, 110, and 119 satellites. I signed up for MLB Extra Innings back in March before the season began. I was excited to be able to watch MLB Extra Innings because I love baseball and I use to have MLB Extra Innings on Satellite DIRECTV back in 2001-2004 and on Satellite DISH back in 2016 and 2017.
I was a bit disappointed when I found out that it is actually MLB.TV Simulcasted to DISH Satellite (More on that later) Anyways I have been watching faithfully almost every night however about a week ago there was a problem. When I went to go to the game to watch a game the game wouldn't come in an I would send a refresh signal to my receiver and then I could watch the programming and when I went to switch games at that games appointed time slot my Wally HD Receiver who lockup where I couldn't change any channels or view the guide and it would reboot. The next night when I turned to a game at game start it still had the background it shows before the game started and again send a refresh signal and went though this same thing over and over. I added a movie channel to my lineup and had issues with showing up my Dish Wally HD Receiver.
With an investigation after several calls with DISH Support it was determined that by going to the diagnostics screen that I had a issue with my Tuner because any changes that I made to my programming these changes would not take affect on the Wally HD Receiver. In other words that Wally HD Receiver was toast!
I too had reported MLB Extra Innings issue to DISH and they created a ticket for it and said that someone would investigate the issue. I too took notice that under MyDISH account under MLB Extra Innings always before it would show that I was subscribed and on auto-renew. Now it shows nothing and even after logging out and deleting my User Name and Password so that I can see it in guest mode it too doesn't even list a price and option for purchase as does the now WNBA League Pass.
After my DISH Receiver was ruined I had to buy a new Wally HD Receiver. I took advantage an bought 2 HD Wally's and added them both to my account. I called back to remove the old box off of the account and was told it was linked to MLB Extra Innings and the advanced technical support team said there was a glitch with MLB Extra Innings and hope to have a resolution in a couple of days and I could call back in to then to remove the box. But both the 2 new Wally HD Receivers are activated on my account. I asked them what the problem was with MLB Extra Innings and how long it would be and I was told there was a glitch as I asked to specify what they meant and got no answer. I again went and checked the MyDISH account page under the MLB Extra Innings page and it still doesn't list me as subscribed and after logging out and deleting my User Name and Password so I could it see it as a guest mode and it still doesn't list the price and option for purchase as it does for the WNBA League Pass.
I am afraid to boot up these boxes and go through the activation screen process because of the issues with the MLB Extra Innings in fear it will do the same or mess up my boxes from being able to receive MLB Extra Inning because or any other programing because I was told that MLB Extra Innings wouldn't come in on those new box because it was activated with the Wally that is ruined and it needs removed first.
Now I have no DISH service going on a week and miss my MLB Extra Innings when the races are just heating up and now with two boxes activated I can't boot up because I am afraid it will mess them up and I will be out the $180.00 or so dollars I made in purchase on the receivers.
Is anyone else experiencing issues with their MLB Extra Innings and does anyone really know what this so called glitch actually is? I can't seem to get a clear answer from anybody and don't even know if it will even be fixed or anyone really understands it.
Now to my previous statement on how I was disappointed that MLB Extra Innings is actually MLB.TV in simulcast. When I had MLB Extra Innings before with DIRECTV in 2001-2004 and with DISH form 2016 and 2017. They would always show the commercials for every teams broadcast from their local market and all games would be authentic just as if you were watching in their home market. After I quit DISH I went to streaming for awhile and I done MLB.TV and I hated their features because of the no commercials, the delayed times of getting back after the commercial break, and not being able to listen to what studios had to say when they would cut into the studios, and always looking at the screen during commercial breaks with a screen that says commercial break in progress and a silhouette background of MLB Players doing baseball things and the their crazy commercial breaks sound. I was excited to go back to DISH thinking I escaped the horrors of MLB.TV. Well its actually the same thing. I compared them side by side and actually MLB.TV is ahead by just a few seconds. So actually MLB Extra Innings on Satellite is delayed from time period wise from actually watching MLB.TV which shows it is simulcasted. My question is when did this start? And is this legal? This isn't what I know MLB Extra Innings to be. I too had signed up for NHL Center Ice this past winter and thank goodness its authentic! They still have the commercials and its like watching it as you were in their home network and its the way it oughta be even if you only do get one feed of NHL Center Ice per team on DISH and don't know which feed it is every night.
Looking forward to your responses. So far happy with DISH but unhappy with this last week and the ruining of a Wally HD Receiver.
I hope I can be of some contribution here as well.
Sincerely,
RJ T.

I know they are doing some major satellite work - the second satellite at 110 which is now in use, and they are moving channels between 119 and 110. Maybe since there are no other sports going on, have they temporarily cut back on the out of market sports packages? I am not sure. It looks like those channels are all coming from 119 TP 13, 110 TP 12, and 110 TP 09.
Also, Dish's Scheduled Satellite Maintenance page doesn't have anything going on:

This is a big shift for DISH. I just hope if Charlie Ergen does ever sell out to anyone that I can continue to use my DISH Playmaker and I can keep my Wally's. If its anything like what happened to DIRECTV a few years back which turned out to be a total disaster when AT&T acquired DIRECTV nothing there changed with boxes or anything and you continued to use the same service but I was very surprised to see AT&T sell it to TPG especially after they had just bought it now long ago.

Trying to get use to this forum and where everything is located at. I saw you responded from my post on the changes and took me a while to get back to see this post. But yes, it is exactly what I was thinking. I too noticed the change of MLB Extra Innings from 110 to 119. Because of 30 teams they have to algin everything. Only other sport going on PPV wise is WNBA League Pass and I do not have a subscription to that but maybe some else who has it can confirm what they done and what satellite and transponders they are on.I know they are doing some major satellite work - the second satellite at 110 which is now in use, and they are moving channels between 119 and 110.

I now have MLB Extra Innings back! Look at the photo! (I did not include full image of the game due to copyright)
Let me just say it was rough! Very rough! And lets just say Charlie Ergen should be ashamed of his customer service team and how they handled this whole issue.
After multiple calls after my last post only to get the run around with answers like there are no refunds on MLB Extra Innings once the season starts, to they are working on it, to accessing my screen and sending multi hits to the box.
All I asked was one simple question remove the MLB Extra Innings which they confirmed I had and reauthorize free of charge. I was given a 1,000 reasons why this couldn't be done.
Well..........
I paid for it myself.... $120.00 current rate and it works!
I called back in to let them know what I done and what I thought of the customer service and told them I needed refunded. I was told they didn't do refunds....
Well again I called back and got someone who refunded the original payment of $150.00 back to my account. A $30 discount for all the hard trouble I went though.
It is now up to you all out there that have MLB Extra Innings to try to get them to do this but I am afraid you are going to have to take your own action and purchase again and beg for a refund or be out the $150.00 originally paid.
Persistence pays off. I don't give up very easily.
You can all go here below to make the purchase if you have any trouble.

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....
So let the game continue!

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....

I was bewildered with all the new DISH TV "Bonus View" channels, so I put together a web page table with all the info I could find. It's at:
https://anythingpeaceful.org/dishtv/DISH_TV_Bonus_View_Channels.html
Here's a partial screenshot of the table, as sorted by Channel Name. (You can click on a column header to sort.)
If you have any corrections or suggestions, please post here.

One added, one removed. But I think it's really only a name change, with similar (or identical?) programming.

Thanks to Pat for the alert.
