I contacted both Wineguard and Channel Master technical service. They suggested I keep my existing attic mounted Channel Master directional antenna with rotor. Wineguard recommended a HDA 200 distribution amp so I could adjust gain to my liking. Channel Master recommended CM-0068DSB pre amp. Any thoughts? Also thanks to all who may have given me antenna suggestions in another thread. Looking at all possibilities. My TVfool info

And I always like a good laugh and to make fun of him and his 'knowledge'. 
Besides, if he is left to continue posting unchecked, there's no telling the damage he could cause with all that 'knowledge' to lurkers and members alike that don't realize he is spouting nothing but false crap. That in turn gives this site a bad rep.

Glad you're having fun with it.And I always like a good laugh and to make fun of him and his 'knowledge'.

I wish I could get paid just to respond to all of the nonsense I see...
I'd have 15 hour workday's again!
Sometimes annoys me that I can't call someone out on some nonsense as I've 0 experience in what some of the other people are talking about.
Other times (on other boards) I completely avoid threads that are filled with such utter nonsense (4th hand experiences, overly-distilled facts misconstrued to falsehood) that it would take a JB-size post customized to each and every thread.
So I try to keep my efforts focused here, and keep the facts straight.
The one thing that gets me motivated is someone willing to learn to help themselves.
I guess I would've missed a real gem talking about sparklies on a digital signal if Iceburg hadn't quoted it.
Note: added this story after the story below
The local religious low-power repeater (not the TBN one) recently switched to digital.
When I checked their digital signal I was horrified to what I saw.
A black and white static mess of Daystar, with occasional color. My guess was they where using a analog satellite receiver to pick up the Satellite feed with the dish in sore need of a realignment.
Now mind you, my TV/Converter is getting a perfect Copy of what they are transmitting. With digital TV, Nothing I can do with my TV and OTA antenna can fix what they are broadcasting.
==================
Reminds me of when "This TV" was added at the local station, right about the time the THIS satellite feed was having real issues. In my local AVS OTA thread, people were calling the local station "unprofessional" and a "joke" when the fault wasn't even on the local's end. I could only tell them what I saw on the satellite feed from another station. The satellite feed and the local station were dropping out at the exact same time in the program with the same bad picture.
==================
So handymantoo, what did you choose to do about the Boston stations?
Does someone still have the diagram showing how to connect two Hopper 3s again?
I currently have one H3 and one 4K Joey, set up through a 1000.2 eastern arc hybrid lnb and solo hub.
The plan is to replace the Joey with the second H3. Already purchased a duo hub and I have three coax cables coming in from outside, from back when I used to have the older 1000.4 dish and the hopper 2. I don't fully remember, but I think the other two coax cables are just tied up next to the dish outside; will have to check again.

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?

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 know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

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.

WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNET PART OF IT. NO ONE WANTS A BOX CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET EITHER.
