Will my TV accept the new 1080p24 VOD, check here...

Since so many people are wondering if there TV will accept the new 1080p24 "I am Legend" download, I found this.

Displays that support 1080p/24 signal at multiplies of the original frame rate - AVS Forum

Note, everyone can watch the download, just not at 1080p24. If your set does not accept 1080p24, you will just get it in 1080i or 720p depending on your setting in the 622/722/612.

looks a little outta date but what do I know

If your TV can do 1080p or says 1080p, you should be good, some like myself are not good, I have a Hitachi Ultravision 1080i plasma and it says no go.

Not true and that is the common mistake people are making. A lot of 1080p sets will not accept 24p and you need a 120hz (or some multiple of 24) set to eliminate 3:2 pulldown (use 5:5 instead for 120hz) to make it matter anyway. And some 120hz don't do 5:5 pull down.

Otta date? It was updated yesterday, but yes it may not be 100% accurate or include every tv. Still a great list.

That's not true - as soon your HTDV set SUPPORT 1080p24 format, REGARDLESS 120Hz refresh rate; it could be native 24Hz (j/k) or any; INPUT signal must be accepted in 1080p24 format - that's the key !

Correct, from Dish's standpoint. What I was saying is 24p really does you no good without 120hz because without it you still need 3:2 pulldown and will have frame judder.

Assuming your TV does everyright right (and that can be a big if), if it is a 60hz display there will be no difference in sending a 1080i60 vs 1080p24 signal to it. You need a 120hz display (or some multiple of 24) to get the benefit of 24p.

My friend has a TV(Sony KDL-52w4100) on the list yet it tests with E* as 1080i. The list is for Blue Ray equipment not E* VIPs. We need a list for E* compatability.

Yup. Doesn't seem like ANY Sony TV's are compatible with E* for 1080p.

The list is TVs known to accept 1080p24. So if your TV is on the list but it does not work with the Dish 1080p then the problem is on Dish's end and not your TV. Hopefully another software update can resolve some of the issues, such as what appears to be a possible issue with all Sony's as mentioned above.

I highlighted the correct part of your post.

I have 48hz capability on my PJ and it looks good with 24p material.

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....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Hopper 3 with Hopper plus internet connection problems

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?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
