Hi Everybody,

I have not been very active on the forum in the past couple of months. I have been working on a few projects for the new year and that has been taking up most of my time. You will soon see more new products for 2010 from WS International. In addition to working on new products and improving older products, I have been working on a project that I think people will be very pleased to hear. But as always, I can't say what it is until everything is finalized, but I can tell you the official announcement will be on SatelliteGuys.

Anyway, wanted to release two new products that are additions to our existing line of DMX LNBFs.

The DMX524U is our new quad output universal LNBF. It features a 60dB gain and a low noise figure of 0.4dB.

The next product I want to release is our new DMX242 dual C band LNBF. If you thought our DMX241 single C band LNBF was a good performer, wait till you try the new DMX242. The DMX242 has a 13°K noise figure with a gain of 70dB.

How much R&D costs in CN to mod a LNB? I can see already how the design should look like. One or two people work for a few months. :) How can users now justify having 2 C-band dishes just because Robby doesn't want to work on the combo LNB? Now that they learned the idea, they will never forgive if you won't deliver fast. :D

It's sad that you try to use every opportunity to say something negative like this which has nothing to do with reality. Why would you need this? What then we can expect from you after that? Which means for me, I no longer have to comment on any of your posts. As to my small contribution to popularity of this site in this downtime (which you might probably don't even understand), just look how many members read the threads you started versus mine over the same timeframe. May be that's what bothers you the most? :rolleyes: Btw, don't bother, I'm not seeking a moderator's straps. :D

Robby certainly understands that this is a joke as the smiley shows, and friendly invitation to keep working on his interesting product line. And he joked a lot in his replies that make them a lot more interesting to read. His product line in my opinion is very good and broad, and I use his products in my setup and recommended them in other threads just recently.

What I suggest YOU is to be more creative in your positive contribution to this site, and success of others will not bother you so much - it will come to YOU. Use your experience to seeks new and improved products from the site sponsors, and ask them to do due diligence when they don't. Isn't it expected from every member here, including yourself? ;) This site's popularity is based on the notion to protect and educate consumers, not merely promote sales of people who pay to it no matter what. If it were like that, no-one would read it, resulting in total popularity and revenue loss and canceled advertising contracts from other sponsors like Google etc.

In my view, if a person can no longer be objective to others and support friendly image of this site, he should no longer be allowed to affect others in his duties, voluntary or paid for.

interesting considering how many times have I answered your questions?? Yep I guess every time I say something its negative :rolleyes:

huh, like a lot of people do to you then :)

edit: I decided to remove most of the rest of my post because I'm not going to sit here and get in a pissing match for no reason


I am proud to make Satelliteguys my home and the FTA area is the best one out there IMO. And I bet others agree :)

Zamar23,

Smiley face or not, very uncalled for comment..... Period.

I back up Ice 100% on his observation. Some sharing is best in a PM rather than a public forum!

Why don't you guys take this offline! Too much negativity on this forum recently (from several parties).....

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!!!

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....

Monday 11/2 is a full slate for NBA League Pass as all 30 teams are playing and 14 out of 15 total games are on NBALP. Only one national TV game on Peacock/NBCSN (Thunder @ Cavs).

DirecTV is even having to use several MLB EI channels (from 745-748) and a NHL CI (770) channel to fit all of them in the guide close together. 5 games at 7:30 ET, 3 games at 8 ET, 2 games at 8:30 ET, 1 game at 9 ET, 3 games at 10 ET. Luckily NHL CI is light on Monday (3 games on CI).

DirecTV is providing both broadcast feeds for all League Pass games except Hornets, Magic, Bucks & Raptors that night. These are all teams that have local broadcasts via a OTA channel which is on spotbeams and have streaming deals (DTC) that are not exclusive DAZN teams which DirecTV just signed a deal with (à la Spurs, Grizzlies, Cavs, Pacers & T'Wolves). Its also very common that we don't get Raptors broadcast very often from TSN or Sportsnet Ontario on League Pass.

Only the Knicks, Nets, Wizards, Bulls, Celtics, Rockets, Lakers, Warriors, Avalanche, Sharks and Bruins feeds will be using remaps of 24/7 RSNs that night. The rest will be relying on the part time feeds, including the Nuggets, Blackhawks and Kings who will be on their alt/overflow channels, and MSG Western NY will be live on channel 635-1 to carry Buffalo area ads during the Knicks game.

The NHL Network alternate will be live on channel 215-1 with Red Wings @ Panthers for those blacked out of Golden Knights @ Bruins on the main feed.

The Thunder @ Cavaliers game will be on one of Peacock Game Pass channels that night for commercial customers, they'll also have the back to back U-Conn Women's and Men's Basketball. One of the part time feeds will also be in use for WWE Raw via Joe Hand promotions.

I could be wrong but the only RSN we dont have is NBC SN Philadelphia .
