HELP IM NEW!!! And Hi

So just a few things. And in advance I am very very new to this so please be gentle. Anyways I received a CW-800S from a friend who gave up waiting to see if there was going to be an update. So now i Have this receiver a dish 500 and a signal meter. Now the dish is pointed where it was when it was hooked up to DN so i can get the welcome screen when i hook it all up. Now i am not trying to do anything unlawful. I just want to set it up for some FTA Channels. Do i need to remove if so how, The updates and all that jazz he put on there and restore the whole thing to its original state? Secondly looking around the Dish 500 isnt really worth much for watching anything intresting? I do eventually plan on buying a bigger dish, motor, etc but just want to make sure i can get it going before i start spending money on this project. So If anyone can help me with those ? and or have any helpful advice for someone trying to become more tech inclined again im new. Ex. It took me a day to figure out how important the ground cable is lol.

Lyngsat is rather difficult to read if you're new to the hobby. I would recommend that you browse TheList here at SatelliteGuys first.

If you still want to check out Lyngsat, look for any transponders with 5-digit frequencies in the left column. Those will be Ku-Band and receivable with a reasonably sized (30" or larger) dish. DVB is a universal standard that is receivable by ordinary FTA receivers. Digicipher II and DSS are proprietary, and require special receivers (DSS is DirecTV's proprietary system, and is, for the purposes of this thread, useless for us. Digicipher II is Motorola's proprietary system, and you need their receiver and authorization*). On Lyngsat, there is a color key, which is explained at the bottom of the pages. Basically, beige is unencrypted digital (FTA).

* - Some commercial Motorola receivers intended for use by broadcast professionals do not require authorization for fixed-key channels (beige colored Digicipher II channels on Lyngsat).

So far so good...HELP..lol

So for those that have been helping me many thanks to you, So the latest update got The 39" Dish And The Moteck is on the way, Few questions tho, Currently all i can get with my temp spot is 79 AMC 5 . Now from what i gather from the list i should only recieve ktel. I dont get that but i do get Pentagon, Fedex and some ms90,91 etc. Now according to dish pointer my dish seems to be pointed to 103 and those channels do come listed under 103 but my reciever tells me its 79 AMC 5??? Any Ideas oh and just a friendly reminder i am very new and this could very well be me being stupid so yea.

If you've got Pentagon you're on 103 alright, just sounds like your receiver is confused lol.
What do you have in the motor setup screen for that satellite? Also, for the USALS program you have to enter your lat/longitude in the motor setup screen. There's a motor setup faq here so I'm not going to type all that information now. Does your dish track any other satellites?

edit to add this link to motor setup thread:

Right now its stationary just waiting for the motor to arrive in the mail, I don't know what it is as soon as i got the dish i had to drop everything and spend the rest of my day putting it together and setting it up, But i did enter my lat and long in the usals just in case it uses it without the motor and on another note i do have usals turned off seeings i dont have the motor yet. Any suggestions as to how i can unconfuse my box if its any help its a captive works 800s. But i tell u what even tho as of now i only get that one boring channel it sure made all the efforts worth it. Amazing sense of accomplishment.

If you're not using the motor yet, then its no big deal. Just pick the right satellite from the list and blind scan it. You must've had the other satellite selected when you ran your first scan-so it stored those channels under the wrong satellite. Since you're pointed at 103 you should know that this satellite has a very different skew setting than the others>the dish settings-sites may have already given you this information. If not, you can adjust the lnbf as suggested for your location and you may get a few more newsfeed channels. If you have Pentagon and the MS channels you're getting most everything there though already.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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.

Hopper 3 with Hopper plus internet connection problems

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.

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!!!
