well it turns out that I have not been watching my bill lately and I am getting hit with program access fees. one of my recievers is hookedup through the home network, and the other through dishcomm. and right now I am online with tech support and they are pretty much useless.

they claim that it is only dialing in every so often, but anytime I go to dishonline, it works just fine. waiting to see what they are going to do about the fees.

they seem to be clueless, and suggest that I make sure my network is always up, which it is, when I am at work during the day i stream music to work from home, so I know it is up then, and when I am at home someone is always on a computer using the internet.

back to menu 6 1 9 and then wanting to know if anything is showing on this screen
of course there is there are three more menu options

I am connected, this is the fifth time we have been to this screen.

and i must say waiting 2-3 minutes between replies is a little ridiculous

and then the reset connection button, gee imagine that It says connected online.

well going back through my bill it seems that I have been being charged for one fee for a few months now, and the other one just started.

the claim once it dials out they will waive the fees, but what about all the back fees, waiting on that answer now.

apparently this is a valid charge and the fees will not be credited cause i did not let them know, but with paperless billing who pays attention. i just switched 6 months ago to hd absolute and never thought about what the bill would be.

well that was pointless, I guess I will see if there is another charge next month, but this months will not be waived or the ones for the last 6 months. so that is 40 bucks extra dish made off of me.

gee they conviently lost my connection to tech support, I guess she did not want to work with me anymore.

well, i will keep you posted on what I find out, I will email my log file to dish so they can fix the lost connection to tech support for next time.

Yeah, unfortunately, if you read the fine print on the contracts you sign when you sign up for Dish, there is a disclaimer that says that it is up to Dish Network's discression to decide whether or not your receiver is properly hooked up to the phone/internet or not... so they have full power over deciding whether or not to waive the fee.

Bullcrap, I know, but look at the bright side.... if you were with Direct, you would be charged those fees every month, whether you hooked everything into a phone line or not.

I believe that dishcomm (connecting to another receiver) only works with a phone line. You can use the same builtin device to link instead connect to a Homelink device connecting to your home network and avoid charges that way.

If you go to the diagnostics screen (menu 6-3) you can check in the counters to see when it last called out successfully. It currently does one call out a week for status, and another once a month. I belive the once a month one is the one that must be made to avoid fees. You can also try the call out option to force a connection.

Thank you for quoting the ENTIRE original post. After one reply, I was starting to lose track.

DishComm has been down for me and several people on this forum since the last software update sometime in August. Alot of people were charged the extra $5.00 monthly charge. They refunded mine and I hooked the 2nd receiver up to a phone line to avoid any future charges until Dish fixes the problem, it is on their end.

Maybe Dish just needed some extra money at $5.00 a pop from there customers.

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....

I'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.
