I'm not exactly sure when it stopped working, but the DishComm setup I had working between my Vip 622 and Vip 722 DVR's is no longer transmitting caller ID information. That is a huge bummer. I remember when I first set it up, the automatic scan didn't work and I had to add the other receiver's home plug address manually to the list in order to get it to work. When I try to do that now, I can't see any way to do it. Did that feature get removed? Is there any hope for me to be able to fix the DishComm configuration if the scan function doesn't work?
Thanks for any insights.

Did anyone have a price increase today on their equipment? I own my VIP211k's, and they have been $5.00. My bill that I received last week shows the "add-ons" as being $5.00. However, I just logged into my Dish account, and my "add-ons" are now $10.00. Did the additional receivers go up by $5.00 recently?
As I mentioned, my last bill shows $5.00 and under the notes, nothing is mentioned about a price increase.

I just got notice of my July bill, going up by over $60.
Probably my 2 year just lapsed.
Sent an email to my dish contact. Hopefully he can get it back down.
I'd like to stay with dish mostly because it's easy to use for my tech challenged wife, but also for some of the cool features, like PIP and MultiView.
I also have access to YouTube TV through a family plan, which I use sometimes.
That could be the fallback if the price can't get down to my current level, although training my wife to use that may be too much to ask.

To put it in perspective.... She can't figure out how to connect to Wi-Fi on her iPhone unless I help her. This is for saved profiles!
She will look at the cellular signal display on the phone...."See... I only have one bar on Wi-Fi!"
Me: Honey that's not Wi-Fi, that's your cellular connection. (Shows her how to connect, and look at the Wi-Fi display....)
A few hours later....
"See... I only have one bar on Wi-Fi!"
Me: Honey that's not Wi-Fi, that's your cellular connection. (Shows her how to connect, and look at the Wi-Fi display....)
Another few hours later....
Rinse and repeat.
My iPhone auto joins my home wifi whenever I am in the vicinity. It remembers other wifis that I have joined in the past and auto joins them as well. It is very easy to set up.To put it in perspective.... She can't figure out how to connect to Wi-Fi on her iPhone unless I help her. This is for saved profiles!

Have you had her checked for dementia by chance? Or is this just typical woman tech challenged. My wife is tech challenged like a mother. I can show her how to use something and she will yell at me across the house my phone won't connect to the wifi! Show her again and the same thing the very next day. My aunt is 11 years older than me and she is also tech challenged. I hated getting phone calls from out of state from her saying my computer is messed up what do I do? I said stop using one. So she bought an expensive lap top and still can't figure out how to use it. Some people you can't help. You just have to be their ongoing tech support.To put it in perspective....

My Joey 4 is installed on a bedroom tv.
The diamond buttons had been reset.
I thought this was unusual.
I had to reprogram the double diamond button for PIP which I watch.
No problem.
PIP feature on the Joey 4 had been used to watch two channels at once which I thought was the limitation being only two channels vs.Hopper 3's multi-view four channels.
This time when I selected the PIP feature I noticed an option for Multi-View?
Could this be?
Yes it could.
This software update does this.
Multi-view PIP (4 channels) Is Now Available on Joey 4.
This is freaking awesome and very surprising!!!
Very wonderful for me.

Unfortunately do to NDA's I can't discuss beta features until they are released to the public. But lets just say the DISH team is doing some amazing work.
Received this e-mail 3 days ago... At the bottom, it says limited to one Multi-view session per household. How does it work if someone had Hopper 3, Hopper 3 with Hopper Plus, Wired Joey 4 and a Wireless Joey 4 for example? Can they all do Multi-view session at the same time?

Is there an estimated Amazing Date when we might see the results of this Amazing Work?

Recently had a Hopper 3 installed and noticed that I have a green bar at the top of my screen, also occasionally a thin green line on the right side. I have tried switching hdmi ports on the tv as well as different cables. My only thought is that it is the age of the TV. Thoughts and suggestions?

HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
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 hope the new owners don't ruin the software/devices. I don't love the ads, but I have two TVs that don't really play nice with anything other than Roku.

One perspective that I tend to agree with. Fox probably doesn't want to do anything that will alienate the customer base they're spending so much money on.

I can't take credit for this. I found saw it on AVSForum and thought folks here would be entertained.
