Problems resolved themselves???

I Updated OS to FW 0x347 on 8/8/09. Immediately thereafter I was unable to access D*tv Cinema (Channel 1100). When I would tune to that channel, I got a message that said that Cinema was unavailable. After 24 hours, Cinema was back. Who knows why?

2nd issue: DVR would connect to the network (setup/network/advanced setup/connect now), but network services (setup/network/network services) said that the system was connected but failed the connectivity test. This has since resolved itself, and now says that network services have started.

I use a static IP on my network for my DVR and other devices that I want to be able to access (Print Servers, Linux Servers, Home Server, SlingBox ProHD), and I had to set up port range forwarding on my DD-WRT router to get the DVR to allow network services, and since nothing changed after the upgrade to 0X347 I didn't know why it would fail to initialize Network Services.

I used to work for D*TV ans an installer, and since I know the people at tech support are just reading a script, I decided to just wait and see what happens, and now on the 11th, everything is working okay.

When do you think they're going to return MRV to the OS?

I have noticed one problem with this CE, I have lost audio on local HD channels when they are showing Non-HD programs. It only happens on my locals thru the sat and OTA going thru my HR20-100. I have tried it thru my TV's OTA input and sound is there. If I change the audio setting thru the Hr20 to cut Dolby Digital off, the sound returns.I have my audio going to my Yamaha receiver using a digital coax cable and have never had this problem until the last CE. I will post my diagnostic report when I get home today.

I keep trying to force my HR23-700 to update to the new CE, but it keeps downloading version 0312 from around mid-June.

I just went upstairs to update my H23-600 and it is downloading 42EE.

Is there only a small window of opportunity to download the CE's or are they always available after they are released?

Sorry for being such a n00b, however, I am extremely technical...This DTV stuff gets confusing and I've only been a customer since April... :)

Nevermind, I feel like a dumbass. Apparently my little girl pressed a button on my receiver that some how cut off my right and left fron speakers. My center speaker was working. The reason why I had no sound was because my locals only uses the right and left speakers for non HD programs and commercials. I happen to find the problem by accident this morning when I was trying to play a CD and it would not work either. Sorry D*. This CE was solid then lol.

But.....if you like Tulsa King....looks like you would probably like this as well. I don't mind spin-offs as long as they don't involve a sassy niece who moves from the big city :rolleyes:

I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

I'm not a big fan of the new layout, especially on my Apple TV. It used to look like the old Guide layout on the Hopper 3, but they changed parts of that, too.

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.

I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

You don't like Tony, or Tony as the Director (he's only been there for 30 seconds now) or you don't like NCIS ?

No. Bring in someone new.🤔 Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.

I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...

Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)

Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.

Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.

It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.

If you're going try to read / listen to the book (can't recommend the audio book enough) before this comes out, I'd avoid trailers.

Trailer below, spoiling it to make sure you read the above bold message first. The book / audio book are fantastic. Go into this blind if you can IMO!




Kind of disappointed at how much they show. A lot still to see, but man, some good reveals in the book that are just served up here.

I've seen it twice. Can't recommend the audio book enough, Ray Porter's performance is amazing and there's so much more in the book than the movie.

Forgot to comment. I did watch when it first came out on MGM. I enjoyed it a lot. I think reading the book made it easier to watch. Several friends commented it was a little hard to follow.

I agree. That can go for pretty much any book vs movie. Back when I was single I would read any Stephen King or John Grisham book I could get my hands on. When you read a book you make up the scenes and characters in your mind.....the movie version always disappoints.

A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

Browns lose a close one with... The Jets. That is a classic Browns loss (granted, any loss is a classic one it seems). 49'ers, Vikings, and Chiefs remain undefeated. The AFC north have a three way tie at 3-2 for second place. :eek:

I had quit watching this show years ago because I ended up more annoyed than entertained. Well......I'm STILL more annoyed than entertained. I DO find it interesting to see how things work behind the scenes at many businesses. What annoys me is how utterly out of touch CEOs are with the companies they run. At the end of almost every episode the head of the company is amazed at how hard the employees have to work and many times have to work around impossible guidelines set forth from headquarters.

I found this one interesting because the new CEO had big plans for this company, Muscle Maker Grill, and it looked like the stores were all pretty busy. Recent history hasn't been good to this company however. I bet the covid lockdowns were the real killer.
