Well I went ahead and downloaded it last night but didn't get to play with it till this morning. Anyway something I'm noticing. With the last few releases I really liked the Cast & Crew feature so you could actually see pic's and bio's of the people in the show. This morning tho I was playing back something and decided I wanted to look at the cast and seems now no pic's and no info on the people :( I went back to another movie I recorded last week and which was showing that data and it now says no info available. I really liked that feature so I hope it wasn't eliminated.

Is this a goof on DTV's part or does it just take time for that data to start showing up? Or even worse is it just an issue on my end? Could someone else confirm this?
bratboy
That would be nice as well, although I thought at least with some shows it was showing the guests. I just was trying to make sure it was an issue of the system just not having downloaded all the info yet as opposed to the feature being eliminated as it made finding other movies and such a particular person was in when you had pic's to go with the names.

When your d/l ing CE software, things come and go, till they decide to release it full time with a NR candidate.

Actually, I just checked mine and the pictures are still there, then again, I haven't recorded anything since Friday .

Oh I realize that. I was just checking. I was asking as my partner in crime noticed the issue before I did so I said I'd ask. I was fairly sure I pulled down the latest CE but since the first post doesn't mention the build number for this week I wasn't certain so said I'd ask here.

I believe that the current CE software is 0x390

I have noticed that it takes a day or two for the pics to populate. There are also some instances where there are no pics for that particular person.

Anyone else getting HDMI handshake issues? I've seen these in prior CE's occasionally, but not in this cycle

Symptom - audio cuts out, no picture. Can be fixed by flipping resolution (I use native on) to other resolutions and back

I am using optical not HDMI, but have been getting some audio dropouts. I have noticed it the most on History HD, not sure if it is just the channel. I believe I've noticed on other channels also.

This should hit a lot of folks with a dose of reality. I can only imagine how much more common this will get as AI progresses.

I read several stories on this and most are clear as mud. They say a lot of the stolen bitcoin has been "locked out" and that everyone will be made financially whole. I guess time will tell if either of these statements are actually true.

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!!!
