Some Locals Moving Off 148

Just got word some locals are moving off of the 148 satellite and instead will be available on one of Dish Networks other satellites (as shown Below).

Those areas are:

Chyanne, WY - 110 Satellite (October 1st)
Lubbock, TX - 110 Satellite (October 1st)
Medford, OR - 110 Satellite (October 1st)
Billings, MT - 110 Satellite (October 15th)
Rapid City, SD - 110 Satellite (October 15th)
Abilene, TX - 129 Satellite (October 15th)
Casper, WY - 129 Satellite (October 15th)
San Angelo, TX - 129 Satellite (October 15th)

Existing customers who will need a Dish 100.02 to receive the 129 satellite will be contacted by Dish Network on or around the week of October 15th via mail in order to setup a changeover to a Dish 1000.3 at no charge. For those customers local network programming will be simulcast on the 148 and 129 orbital locations until the migrations are complete.

If there are any changes or updates you will find out here first at SatelliteGuys.US! Thanks for your support!

Abilene TX Area - 148 Move

I am looking for current info on the new local satellite for Abilene, TX. Supposedly, locals for this area are moving to a new sat. We do our own pointing and realignments as periodic wind/dust/hail affects our dishes. I get all my major networks and NFL SundayTicket from Direc*. Direc* does not serve this area for locals. I have a local only account with Dis*. Recently got a call from a Dis* rep saying I needed a service call on my unit to re-point it to the new local sat. I asked for the new satellite info, azimuth and tilt. (They use a Dish500 unit in this area with no tilt and 1 LNB to get the 148.) The rep sharply replied that he did not know and I REQUIRED a service call. (I've had two awful experiences with 'professional' installers.) I asked again for the new pointing directions to which the rep said he did not know. He persisted about an appointment. I said no, we don't allow installers at this property. He abruptly replied, "Then be prepared to loose your local programming" and hung up. (Supposedly this takes effect near/after the end of Jan 2009) I can look up the single satellite pointing data, but still cannot figure out where the locals are moving. Again, I only need to re-point to the specific satellite that delivers locals to this market. If it really is 129, I can handle that easily. I just cannot locate an authoritative source for the info. Dish's site has never shown orientation info for this market. They only show the multi-LNB 500 & Single 119 and 110 for the D300.

I ran a cable and installed a 322 in a room at my friends house Sunday, she has her cousins family staying with her till they get into a new house... the switch matrix showed 110, 119 & 148 so I figured they would lose the Lubbock locals... did a switch check then left the room... a little later they had all populated the receiver...

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 Hopper and Dish Hopper Plus No Alexa in settings

I have Dish Hopper and Hopper Plus and also have Alexa Echo. I link the Alex skill to Dish and it asks me to enter the pairing code shown on the TV. I go into Dish Settings and there is no Alexa shown. Not sure what to do.

I stand up from my chair with my glass in one hand and my plate in the other, when a story I really want to hear comes on the TV. So I say, "Alexa, pause DISH", and it waits for me to return from the kitchen, at which time I say, "Alexa, resume DISH".

Or maybe, when I return with a full glass in one hand and a new plate in the other, I realize I forgot to pause to hear this good story from its start. So I say, "Alexa, skip DISH backwards 3 minutes", and I still get to catch the whole story.

I use this every day. Or until I acquire a third hand.
