I need a few BETA testers to test some new products (switches, splitters, etc) for Sadoun. This is not for review here. It is for new products under development that require user BETA testing and feedback.
Please note that a beta version is NOT the final version of the product and therefore the developer does not guarantee an absence of errors that may disrupt the operation and/or result in data loss.
Consequently, beta testers use the beta version at their own risk and SADOUN bears no responsibility for any consequences arising out of the use of the beta version.
Participating in beta testing enables you to:
* be among the first to gain access to some of the latest products of Sadoun and share your opinion with us;
* help Sadoun improve the quality of the product being tested;
* provide your suggestions on possible ways of improving the product;
* free technical support;
* collaborate directly with developers and other beta testers using dedicated sections of our forum; and,
* receive free versions of the product, which are awarded to the most active beta testers.
When taking part in the beta testing it is necessary to:
* We will contact you about the product you are interested in testing;
* spend a certain amount of time on familiarizing yourself with the product and testing it;
* prepare and send out bug reports on any errors found;
* provide suggestions on ways to improve the product being tested; and,
* report on compatibility issues (specifically related to your configuration).
Reporting problems:
* To report an error, please provide a detailed description of the ways in which it manifests itself on your system, the steps which lead up to the error and characteristics of the hardware used for testing. Send your description to the email address specified on the page containing the description of the beta version you are testing.
* You can also report problems and get your questions answered in our forum.
* You can also use this procedure to provide your suggestions on improving the product.
If you have any questions regarding the Sadoun beta testing program, please write to me using the PM system here.

Well here's a bit of background info that may be of interest....
Electronics hobbyist and licensed Ham Operator for 33+ years (last 21+ = Extra Ticket)
Got my 1st C band setup about 30 yrs ago (before Videocipher was introduced)
Didn't really look into Ku/digital until about 6-7 years ago (Why? Who cares. I have C band!......lol)
I am in the same trade field as Cadsulfide, Industrial/Petrochem Process Control Systems and Chemical Analysis so my work goes hand in hand with my play.
I have a score of "Mad Scientist" type project (see above for examples) bouncing around in the space between my ears, and love to tinker, McGiver, and cobble together all sorts of dis-associated parts and pieces to make something unique and more useful.
That being said, one can imagine that my "resource center" would put Fred Sanford to shame....(my XYL
: must REALLY love me...Thank you Jesus!) although she tells me she's waiting for me to kick the bucket, sell it all for scrap and buy a condo in MAUI! :yikes
Sometimes I think she really means it..........BTW, she started me on some new "diet salt" ..... anyone know what arsenic tastes like?

Sadoun,
When will these beta testers be chosen? I am ready to test.

I also would like to be a beta tester .
I've been at this sat stuff since the early 1980's (1983-1984) since we got our first C Band dish at home (a Toky receiver with a Chaparral LNA, later replaced by a Monterrey receiver and a Uniden when we bought our next 8 ft. prime focus).
Right now i have an 8ft and a 10 ft prime focus solid antennae (fiberglass), one with a BCS621-2, the other one with the double C output LNBF (i think it's called C2), using two Pansat 2500a and a CW-700s (i have not been able to make work the USB receiver), also i have two 90cm offset dishes with a quad universal LNB and a single output universal LNB (both of them made by Chaparral), and a like 5-6 directv and a dish 500 dishes in storage (got them pretty cheap and i couldn't resist LOL).
Cheers

So...DirecTV advertises the Choice package with 95+ bonus channels for Satellite customers. You don't want 90+ of the 95...
Excluding PPV, premium networks, infomercial, shopping, religion, and non-English programming, there are 7 channels on satellite that are not on streaming:
NFL Network, MavTV, FE TV, Free Speech, NASA, INSP, and Pursuit. I'm pretty sure a couple of those are public interest that they have to carry to meet an FCC quota on satellite.
I hope they get called out for this advertising because that is ridiculous. One big network, NFL, will probably get added to streaming when their next agreement comes up, and the rest are likely very low viewership.
What about streaming, what do you get extra with the Choice package that isn't on Satellite:
Two stations - one of which is an internet TV - Fox Weather, and Heros & Icons (a diginet). Nothing special here to look at either.
If they cleaned up a couple of their agreements, added a few public interest stations to streaming, they could probably have their lineups match. It's close now, if you take out all the garbage on satellite that they earn money on. If they can sell infomercials on satellite, why can't they on streaming, seems like a miss. A bigger miss, including those stations in the "bonus channels just for satellite customers." Pretty sad marketing right there.
Attached is a comparison sheet of satellite vs streaming for the three main packages if anyone is interested.
MOD EDIT: See Post #3 for an up to date list of what channels are available on sat but not on streaming/internet, see Post #21 for an up to date list of what's available in the app for streaming customers, but not for sat customers.

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....

Hello everyone, new guy here. I'm trying to solve problem I'm having with Dish bonus view channels. When I'm watching the bonus view channels then I switch back to regular dish channels, after few minutes the screen flips to black and after 30 seconds flips back to regular channels and continues to flip back and forth until I turn off TV. After I wait 30 minutes and turn back on , I can use regular channels again. So, its after I switch from bonus view channels to regular dish channels the problem starts. Been trying to fix this for a month, but no luck
Here what I've done.
i contacted Dish support and they sent me a new Joey3, but no help. Switched to a different HDMI input on TV, no help. Used different HDMI cable , no help. Used different electrical wall plug, no help.
Finally got a Dish tech to check it. He ran all systems check and was OK. Finally he brought in a small TV and plugged in the HDMI out from the Joey to the small TV. He could not get the problem to occur on his small TV, so the new Joey was working OK. So, then the problem must be myTV. He made some phone calls and came back with the answer that there must be a problem with the analog to digital switch in my TV. Has anyone ever heard of a problem like this, or is it time to be looking for a new TV? My tv LG OLED65C8PUA. TV has been trouble free til now. Thanks

Pork shoulder, refried beans, cheddar and chopped green chile burrito with a pint of pale ale.
Its nice being able to have a pint with lunch during the week or whenever. I've been enjoying the retired life.

Leftovers for lunch, bacon wrapped salmon fillet from Saturday and a KFC thigh from Friday, Tea.
I had a very unusual but delicious 1/4lb hotdog with cream cheese, raspberry preserves and chopped Hatch green chile. It is an unlikely combination but it works.
New low power station has been granted by the FCC and the new call leter is K33OB-D on RF ch. 33.
Will run at 15 KW ERP, this one runs from the Westside same location as KWPL-LD a HC2 owned station.
It's going to be aimed at eastern part of Albuquerque, so it's tightly focused beam pattern.
This new station is owned by Digital Network and what kind of programmings is unkown at this time.

Yeah, there are some diginets like Heartland, Retro, The Family Channel diginetworks that we already have here in this market and we don't need duplicates, but bring the new diginets on like the Rev'n, Karate Acton movies, different kind of music videos on the new station.

I watch MovieSphere Gold channel a lot. Many recent movies on that digitnet
Yes that's a good channel MovieSphere, only thing is the missing CC on it.
