Dish TV Pay as you go / DishNow DishYA.
Thank You!

I want to thank the contributors to this board for their help with DishNow or DishYA or Pay as you go. I have a second home in Northern Wisc., and I used to have DirectTV. For a couple of years, DirecTV would let me turn it on and off whenever I wanted, even though it was against their express policy. But then they just stopped. So I canceled the account.

We can see some local analog TV now from about 60 miles out, but we cannot see the digital UHF signals. So . . no TV as of February.

Dish Network's pay as you go works very well for this situation. It does everything I need - but there are NO local channels, and NO digital. The typical cost is $1.50 a day, depending on the programming selected!

You can find everything you need to set it up in posts to this board, but I thought I would share my experience - as I did not quite get it right the first time!

Equipment
==========
You buy the equipment up front and you install it. I got mine at Radio Shack for $100. It comes with a refurbished receiver (DP 301), an antenna and mast (Dish 500), a remote control, and some cables to connect to your TV / VCR. It does NOT have external cables to the antenna, and it does NOT have instructions for the antenna. Radio Shack sells an installation kit for another $20. I figured I did not need it as I had the DirectTV antenna on the roof.

But the instructions from that kit would have been VERY helpful! But you can find them on the Internet. DishNetwork.com has lots of instruction books on its web site. The equipment book that comes with the kit is a little dated. The menus and set up have changed. And the book for the remote is not useful. You will need a current one. Just look around a little.

The antenna is a Dish 500. It is NOT a DishPro.
It has 2 feeds from it. You only actually use only one for this service. The 2 heads are for 2 different satellites - one at 119, and another at 110. Even though you use only one of the cables, the satellite receiver can see both satellites through some switching in the antenna itself. You hook it up to the left (119) to tune it, but it can see both.

It also comes with a fancy remote, but the book that comes with it is not for that remote. The remote looks just like the one for the newer Dish 311. Get the book for that one!

Dish Aiming
===========
The key thing here is to get the mast perfectly plumb - straight up and down. My mast was off just a tad, and I could not find the signal. The receiver can take a minute or so to respond to the signal, and it does not even see really weak signals. The book says: "Azimuth adjustments should be made a 1/4 inch at a time, waiting 5 seconds between each movement." That seems like an eternity on a cold roof!

I finally paid a Dish TV guy to come out and use his signal strength meter. He had to adjust the vertical just to find the signal. If you have lots of problems, Radio Shack sells a meter! It's called a "Satellite Finder", and costs $40. The potential problem is that there are LOTS of satellites up there. I have no clue which ones use what frequencies, and which one is Dish versus DirectTV or something else.

The aiming is VERY, VERY touchy. To do it properly, you really need the satellite signal strength meter while you are up there on the roof. Alternatively, do what I did - look in the yellow pages for Dish or Satellite installation. Erik's Satellite Service saved me!

Receiver Set up
============
When you first start up the receiver, it is supposed to go directly to dish aiming. If it does not, select System Setup, then Installation, then Point Dish/Signal.

The receiver is a Dish DP301. But it looks just like the DISH 311 - including the fancy remote. It initially comes up looking for Satellite 119 on some transponder or other. Don't mess with that. Once it is correctly pointed, it will figure out the other satellite and transponders.

AFTER you have a signal locked, you must then select the "Switch Test". It does some 28 tests and sets up the whole business to be able to see multiple satellites and transponders. You aim it at 119, and it figures out where the others are, assuming the dish antenna is set up correctly.

GreenDot Money Pak
================
This is how you pay for the service. Do NOT buy the DishNow prepaid card. That entitles you to a certain number of days of Dish service, but all in one shot. What you want it service by the day!

Instead, go to Walgreens or Walmart or CVS and buy a GreenDot Money Pak. Do NOT buy a GreenDot Credit Card. The money pak costs $5 ($4.99 actually), the card costs $10, and is of no use whasoever! You pay for it with cash, and then load it with some more cash. $20 is the minimum. After 90 days, if there is any balance, they take $5 a month off the card. I think that only starts AFTER you first use it. So, it's a trade off. It costs $5 to load the card, or buy a new one, and after 90 days, it costs $5 a month. It makes the most sense to just buy 3 month's worth each time if you can.

You only use it when you call Dish TV to start any programming. You give them (key in) the verification number. That's the only account number you have.

Activation
=======
I got most of this from this forum - thank you very much SteelersRule! I grew up in Pgh.

1. Make sure the receiver is plugged in and attached to the antenna, and the antenna is aimed correctly. I usually have it on so I can watch things happen.

2. Write down on a piece of paper, the following numbers:

  • The Receiver number as shown in your device. It starts with R.
    It is also in the packing materials, but you need the whole number, including the last 2 digits!
  • The GreenDot MoneyPak activation number. It is either on the packaging, or on the receipt.
  • You might also note the date you activated the MoneyPak to determine when the 90 days are up.
  • Your zip code. I don't know why, but you need it.

3. Call before 8:00 pm or so. There is some problem doing it late at night. If you call during the afternoon, it will actually give you 2 days, this day and the following day. Call on Friday for 2 days, and you will likely make it through Sunday.

4. Call the number on the screen, or 1-888-347-4132. It's all automated. Generally, it is difficult to talk to a human in this system. Enter the receiver number and activation number when asked. It will repeat them back for verification.

5. Order programming. You can select English or Spanish to narrow down the field. Then Basic, Movies or Adult.
Basic gives: Family, AT100, AT200, AT250. See comments below on these.
Movies gives: HBO, Stars, Cinemax, or Showtime.
I dunno what Adult has for choices (just in case my wife reads this!)

6. How much. It will ask if you want to use the entire amount of the card. It will tell you how many days you can purchase. Say NO! You want to do a few days. Order as many days as you want for that service.
It will then send a signal to the receiver.

7. Anything else? Say NO, and it will disconnect.
Say YES, and you can order another set of programming - say Movies along with the BASIC.

8. Download. On the first activation, it will ask if you want to update the system. YES, tell it to do that. And it will take some time. WAIT. Don't mess with it until it is done. Even after it looks like it is done, WAIT. It seems to take several minutes to actually get all of the channel information into the receiver. If you start selecting channels right away, it may tell you that you have not subscribed to them, or they will show up as RED in the list. Wait a bit. It eventually figures it all out.

Daily Cost
=======
It is a simple algorithm to figure the daily cost. But here is the current rate:
Service Cost / Day
Dish Family $0.67
Top 100 $1.11
Top 200 $1.54
Top 250 $1.90
HBO $0.50
Cinemax $0.43
Showtime $0.43
Starz $0.43
10 Adult clips $0.83

Programming
==========
I did a comparison of the various packages, and it hardly makes sense to buy the Dish Family or Dish 100. The Dish 200 covers mostly everything. Dish 250 adds a few things: CNBC World, NICK TOONS, All ENCORE movies, FOX Movie, West Movie Channel, TMC Extra West, Outdoor Channel, Tennis Channel, Discovery Kids, History International, Bloomberg, Military Channel, National Geographic, Planet Green, The Science Channel.

Manuals
======
Dishnetwork.com has manuals for everything if you poke around a bit.

Problems
======
I haven't tried these yet, but folks on this forum offer some options.

System Reset
If things are not showing up correctly, try resetting the whole system.
You may have to do this more than once.
Press and hold down the POWER button on the front of the DP301 for about 5-7 seconds. This will cause the receiver to go through a HARD RESET, and everything will need to be re-downloaded to the receiver (including channel lineup info). While it is doing this, do not touch anything. I have found that this usually solves the problem. Also, I have learned to NEVER turn off the receiver once the CORRECT channel lineup finally appears.
I just leave the Tuner ON all the time, and shut off the TV. Usually keeps everything correct

Resend Activation Signal
The activation signal is only sent once.
If you pay for the service and it does not activate because you did not have a signal, you can call and say "customer service rep" and it will ask you if you want to talk to a representative. Say yes, then tell them you want the activation signal sent again. They will ask for the receiver number. When I did this, it started the activation in less than a minute. After a couple more minutes of programming downloads, I was up and running.

Good luck with this. It took me a couple of tries, but it works slick.

Just some additional information - The time you have to spend the Green Dot MoneyPak funds before a fee is deducted starts when the MoneyPak is purchased and not when first used. The MoneyPak is activated at the time of purchase. From the back of the MoneyPak purchase card:

"If you do not apply the funds to your Card or Account, a fee of $4.95 per month will be assessed against the amount you added to this MoneyPak beginning on the 91st day after its purchase, except where prohibited by law."

Also, I believe the zip code is required due to state regulations concerning adult programming. I think some states still prohibit adult movies from being transmitted to consumers from satellites and this is determined by the zip code you use. They block certain programs from going to certain zip codes.

Good Luck and have fun.

Excellent write-up about your experiences.

I am going to copy and paste it in the Prepaid thread in the Dish Network Forum.

States where green dot MoneyPak card can't charge monthly fee?

"If you do not apply the funds to your Card or Account, a fee of $4.95 per month will be assessed against the amount you added to this MoneyPak beginning on the 91st day after its purchase, except where prohibited by law."

I wonder what states this would include? Be great if you could place a high balance on a card, say for folks up in Canada, and not have to worry about the sucker eating away at your money. I did get a Green Dot CSR (human) on the phone after following the instructions from this post (ignore the final request to enter a card number or social). The CSR stated Vermont was the only state where the monthly fee wouldn't be applicable. Perfect state in relation to Quebec. It looks like the Vermont town of Swanton seems to be the closest to the border with Quebec, Canada.

I better idea would be to get a card while you are on the Ben & Jerry's Factory Tour in Waterbury, Vermont.

If you did go through the motions to get a green dot MoneyPak card in Vermont, I guess you should redeem it with DISH Network by using a Vermont zip code.

Yes, many have hacked a DirecTV or Dish Network dish before. Quite undersized, but would receive the 97w KU stations with an LNBF swap. Make a template to set the LNBF face angle and distance from the reflector. Remove the current circular polarity LNBFs and make a bracket to hold the replacement linear LNBF in the correct centered position. Remember to set the polarity skew.

would probably also work well for NHK on 101W and possibly for PBS on 99W. I used one for a while on 30W. Just keep in mind that because it's undersized for those satellites, it might work fine in clear weather but won't have much margin to account for signal degradation during rain/snow

If you can find one, the Shaw / Star Choice 75e ellipticals are great for use on 97, 99, and 101W. They are really just rebranded ChannelMaster 75 cm reflectors and use linear LNBFs by default out of the box.

Everyone else's mileage may vary.

I have read that some have converted this type dish but after giving it a good look, it's the lnb conversion that is the bottleneck. Does anyone have a picture of their attempt to configure the lnb? I watched a video on youtube from the save it for parts guy and he used duct tape! Guess it worked but I'm thinking something a bit more permanent!
Thanks to all for your interest and replies...

Many of us have used a universal LNBF mount (or get creative with L brackets and plumbers tape - perforated metal strapping). Use a few inches of aluminum tube (or a piece of 1x2" lumber) to extend the support arm (replacing the plastic mount used by DirecTV and Dish) to place the LNBF throat opening at the correct distance from the reflector, the correct height and at the correct angle. Nothing magical... simply place the new linear LNBF in the center at the same distance, height and angle as the current combo.

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....

On the West Coast, a 40-cent differential is common. It used to be 30 cents before the prices rose above $3.

I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

This started a couple months ago. I have 2 H3s on one network, both with 2 EHD identical 3 TB seperately powered so all recordings are accessible by all 4k & J4s (8 of them).

On one H3 (not the main one that controls the MOCA network), after it reboots, it doesn't recognize it has two EHDs plugged into it. Rebooting the EHD by their power source doesn't fix it. Resetting the network doesn't. Software h3 reset doesn't fix it. Rebooting MOCA h3 doesn't fix it but so far, after 3+ cold boots (unplug pwr to H3 with unrecognized EHDs), it finally it figures out they are plugged into it. BUT.... Then when you open a program it only partially shows series and episodes, but instead of showing recordings, it only shows upcoming airings. HELP!!!!

JohnGalt1234 - So you basically have 2 Hopper 3's. The CasinoH3 is the one that is Hopper 3 only while Master Bedroom is a Hopper 3 with Hopper Plus setup.
Master Bedroom uses Android TV (ATV) software so the DISH part is actually a app and will behave differently as you can probably tell the Guide's are different on the Master Bedroom which will resemble the same guide used on other ATV devices such as the Joey 4 and Wireless Joey 4. If I am correct, the CasinoH3 is the one with the problem since you did say the one dated 09/05/2026 is the naughty one while 08/15/2026 named Master Bedroom is the nice one. Usually I would expect the CasinoH3 to be the one without the problem because it's Hopper 3 only and Master Bedroom would be the one with problems because it has the Hopper Plus involved. That is why they behave differently because CasinoH3 is running the native Hopper 3 software while Master Bedroom is running the Android TV software and also it runs a app called DISH known as package com.dish.atv.launcher, the version for mines is P15403 2026100917 so it's probably the same version as the Hopper Plus software version with the date of October 9, 2026, not sure what the 17 means except maybe revision 17?

This explains it better than I can. Sorry, had to take all the ads out.

It is not just a display signal as explained above. When you have the Hopper+ connected, it uses Android TV for pretty much everything except for the satellite signal which is why it uses the DISH app for the standard Hopper 3 functions. But that should not matter because in your case, CasinoH3 is the Hopper 3 with the EHD which is what you call the naughty one based on the dates you mentioned and Master Bedroom which has the Hopper Plus connected to the Hopper 3 that does not have the problem. So one way to test the theory is disconnect the Hopper Plus from that Hopper 3 and then use the EHD's connected to CasinoH3 currently to see if the same issue exists. That way you will know if the problem is there without a Hopper Plus connected or if CasinoH3 is just a bad hopper to begin with.

Normally when you disconnect the Hopper Plus, it will be 30 minutes or more before you can use the Hopper 3 again.

What you want to do is:
hold the POWER button in, not the red reset button, for about 45 seconds or so while disconnecting the power to the Plus and moving the HDMI cable and it will reboot to the normal Hopper only immediately.

But the Hopper (713) does not start the EHD read process. The light changes to indicate that the EHD has detected a valid USB cable, but the Hopper does not recognize it.

Can anyone check on this and report back? Recorded programs and then press skip forward a few times to see if it's smooth? Normally, it just jumps to the right place after the skips.

Guys,
Android is Google. Google is Android. Android OS and Google TV are the same thing.
The Hopper+ and Joey 4's run Android TV, which is Google's television version of Android.
That means under the hood, you have:
  • Linux kernel
  • Android framework
  • Google TV / Android TV interface
  • Google Play Store for TV apps
Alexa is the competition. Google is not going to host their competition.
The old Hopper Carbon UI is NOT Google so that's why Alexa was on there.
H
Understood. But here's the rub - Google Assistant setup is ALSO missing from the Hopper Plus setup. I'm a paraplegic.and need to use voice controls as much as possible but I can't press a button on the remote to activate Google Assistant. I prefer ALEXA (or ALEXA+) but I have one older google device and will go that route IF they make it available. BTW calling Dish Customer Service is no help- they just say they have no info on if/when there will be an update.
