Dish Network would loose tons of customers if they knock down these stations...something they cannot afford these days. Customers can always get cheaper programming by switching.

Really? I doubt it. Their viewership is simply not that high. There are other posts seeming to indicate they are in a world of trouble without crossing swords with Dish.

And cheaper by switching? Maybe to OTA......

If anyone who was denied Distant Networks had appealed to the Supreme Court, the SHVA would likely have been overturned. Prohibiting a citizen from listening to any particular news broadcast is clearly unconstitutional with regards to the first amerndment...

I agree. The broadcast networks are more, and more every year fighting for a bigger share of a shrinking market. every year the reports come out about how overall viewership of the broadcast networks are falling like a stone.
it may not happen tomorrow, or even the next day, but with every moment the time creeps closer to the day the broadcast networks dissappear completely.
Personally I cannot wait. with so much government interference from the FCC, broadcast days are most definitely numbered. how long can they possibly last when the FCC does everything to make sure that everything on it is suitable for a 14 yr old to watch?
basically it is apparent to most everyone that broadcast networks are fading, and will evenyually pass into non-existence. the only question left is, will it be the FCC, internet, cable, and satellite, or a combination of all that eventually kills them?

Doubtful since SHVA is not a government restriction on free speach. It instead grants a license to use the content without paying additional fees to the copyright holders (note copyright holders not the stations).

The copyright holders own the content distributed by the national networks. The national networks have licenced the properties for distribution via their national network of affiliated stations. The networks have a contract with each affiliated station to allow them to broadcast the network programming for their area alone.

It is a valid contract. It is like McDonalds Corporation licensing a local McDonalds the right to sell out of a particular location. It would not be ok for that McDonalds operator to open up additional McDonalds wherever they wanted to sell McDonalds branded hamburgers, just because consumers wanted to be served somewhere else.

The federal laws are essentially giving blanket copyright clearance for the local stations to sell their content to a satellite provider for rebroadcast. The networks themselves only have copyright licensing to broadcast via their affilates.

The distants are another blanket copyright clearance granted to cover areas not served by a local station. Dish fought this all the way up the court system and lost the battle.

These laws are essentially taking property of the copyright holders, NOT restricting the rights of viewers.

Although I agree 100% that we should be able to have distant networks; the issue is not free speech but copyright protection. If it would technically possible, I would image that it would be legal to import a news program from another DMA. Not sure it still happens because I do not have cable, but when I did - cable offered distant feeds, but turned them off when they duplicated programs with the local stations; the cable companies switched to the local feed. For example, we got abc from boston for the news, but they switched back to channel ten program from Albany when ABC programming was shown.

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....

LOL. It depends if the person saw it during the years when they were actually still available which is 1968 to 1983 meaning the person could be 43-58 years old or they can even be a few years old if they learned to read and write at a young age and actually saw a telephone with that label somewhere recently just like even here in San Francisco, payphone still exist physically in public places but whether they can be used or not is a different issue. It still looks like this even today:

I opened my Radio Shack in Sept 1984 and right about that time they did the whole deregulation thing with the phone companies. I bought TONS of those phones that had been refurbished with a new outer shell. You could throw one of those out of a 3 story high window and it would still work.
That was an interesting time in history. I would have older customers come in and ask about phones.....they were terrified that they were going to get into trouble hooking up a second phone without the phone company knowing about it. One of the funniest episodes of WKRP was the one where Johnny thought the cops were showing up because they had an unregistered phone. I guess younger folks can't conceive of a time when you were limited to the number of phones you could have in your house....and limited to the length of the cord 🤣

That's one of those songs that hits a little too close to home for me. I like the song but just can't listen to it. It's kinda like that song "Daddy never was the Cadillac kind".....reminds me too much of my Grandfather who died Feb 18, 1995.

My OTA is not working anymore. This started after the latest update. I have the OTA dongle with a OTA antenna that I've been using for years. My hopper does not recognize the dongle anymore and when I go to the OTA setting, it has a screen that says to plug a dongle into the USB. I tried unplugging and plugging back, in the same usb port and other ports. The Hopper does not recognize it. Anyone have same issue?

Did you people having this issue contact Brittany yet? Shes trying to keep track of things and it would be good for you to contact her as maybe she can get this somewhere and get fixed.

Now while unofficial, I am hearing this issue wasn't caused by DISH's software team, but was caused by a chipset driver update that seemes to have hosed some older USB devices. If this is indeed the case I can see why DISH didn't know and why they are slow in fixing it as they need the chipset company to fix its drivers and release them to DISH so they can be pushed out to all.

DISH does not hate you guys nor do they want you to buy new USB dongles. I am rather sure they didn't even know this was an issue until they saw it posted.

Again contact Brittany if you are having this issue, so she has your info and hopefully she can do something for you to keep you happy. :)

Thanks, but until they do, can't Dish just revert to the old driver that worked? Then test the new driver when delivered,d before pushing it again.

But then what does an old CIO know! I've only reamed quite a few buttholes from my people that didn't do that! ;)

They can absolutely put the old driver back if they wanted. This is an embedded software environment in which they have total control. All they have to do if build a new version of firmware with the old OTA driver and test it of course. They just don't want to spend the resources doing so. If they are not going to continue supporting the single tuner adapter, then they have to say so.

Unless of course they didn't keep a copy of the old drivers and can no longer get it. Then there is always the their support for the product is EOL after a x amount of time so it will make the consumer have to buy the current product offering.

No updates but if you can get DISH Technical Operations to roll you back to H710 or earlier even though H708 would be best because it also eliminates another problem like in this comment, you will also no longer have the problem as long as you don't update manually or forced to any new version until the problem is fixed as the problem started in H711 and still exist in H712 and H713.

Installed an off-air antenna a couple days ago for a customer who had just cancelled his Dish service. He had a dual off-air adapter and gave it to me. Cool. I'll keep it on the truck....might come in handy. Got to admit I don't watch anything as far as live tv goes anymore. Even if we have severe weather, our local channels will have a live feed on Youtube.

In other news, it was announced that the software fix for the two tin cans and a string will not be forthcoming. A hardware fix is required. However, that fix will let you receive stations from a gazillion miles away.

Truck roll charges may apply. Two year commitment required.

17 years ago the US turned off analog OTA signals in favor of digital broadcasting. Now the push is ATSC 3 "Nextgen TV". But nobody seems to be able to agree on DRM implementation protocols. People don't want to hook their TV up to the internet in order to watch over the air TV. At least I don't. With all the data they collect about your viewing habits the box should be given away at no cost.

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.

There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.
