On another informative site it states that the Indianapolis HD locals (still no NBC) are on "129 temporarily CONUS", while HD locals for other cities simply state 129. Why is Indianapolis on CONUS and what does that mean for the future? I just got a new 1000.2 for 110, 119, and 129 right after the stations were lit up. I hope Dish doesn't move them to another satellite forcing me to get yet another dish.

P.S. Since the Indianapolis SD locals are on 110 why aren't the HD locals on 110?

I think they mean that the Indy locals might move off the CONUS beam to an Indiana spotbeam in the future. Most likely they would stay on 129.

There isn't room on any 110W spot beams for Indy locals. The Indy locals are supposed to be on Transponder 5 on Spotbeam 24 on the new 129W (Ciel 2). Unfortunately, there is a problem of some sort that is preventing the Indy HD locals being uplinked to that designated transponder. The old 129W satellite is still on station at 129W so E* has the Indy HD locals uplinked there on Transponder 5 for the time being. The old 129 satellite is a ConUS beam only satellite so that's why the Indy locals are currently ConUS. If and when the problem with using T5 on the new 129W satellite (Ciel 2) is solved, the Indy HD locals will be moved there. This move will not affect anyone receiving the locals that lives within the spotbeam. The only viewers affected would be those living outside the designated spotbeam. They will lose the signal as they should. Since you already have a 1000.2 dish that receives 129W, you shouldn't notice anything when the channels are moved, assuming there are no further complications and you reside in the Indy DMA.

Knowing our luck, the problem won't be fixed until after they have to move E5, and they'll cut our channels off.

There is currently space on T7 on the same spot beam. Unfortunately there are other DMAs that need to be uplinked as well so they have to come up with some sort of permanent solution. Hopefully the problem was just one with infrastructure in getting the signal to the uplink station. Nelson61 reported that E* told the FCC it was prepared to move the old 129W to 148W on the 15th. We shall see next week.

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....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Great ending, but it ran in circles most of the season.

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Might be worth just to ditch the hopper plus. No issues here on h713

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
