OK now that I have had 24 hours to play with D* I have a couple questions on recording with the DVR. Now let me preface this with I have never had a dual tuner DVR. In fact I had a Dish 508 about 5 years ago for about a year. I have been recording stuff to a separate hard drive/dvd recorder so I have been limited to one tuner. So some of you may think these questions are dumb but they're new to me 
So be nice 
(by the way its the R15)
OK. 1st scenerio
I have a program set to record from 9-10PM on channel A. I am watching another program and the DVR starts recording program A at 9PM. If I hit power on the DVR to turn it off will it still continue to record until 10 or does it kill the timer?
2nd scenerio
I have a program set to record from 1-4PM (say on MLB Network). I also have a program to record from 3-3:30 (lets say on my local network). I know at 1 the MLB channel starts recording but I'm watching other programs which is OK. What happens at 3:00 when the 2nd timer is set to fire on my local Fox yet I'm watching VH1 Classic? Will it change the channel to my Fox station? Will it not record? What happens?

on KU not much
C-Band is different...only have it at one satellite for now
Reason I say I dont want it on the roof is 1/2 my roof (I live in a townhouse) the dishes on the deck shoot over. So if I put a dish up there I lose reception on the deck dishes

Your the Prez ......
Amend the existing rules !!!!
I'm surprised the association lets you put them on the roof.
The association people usually say -
We don't want those ugly dishes on the roof.
or
You can't put a dish on the roof, it will make the roof leak.

The rule for our associations are pretty lax
-either on the deck or the edge of the roof
-has to be on the backside of the house so it doesnt show when you come up the driveways. This is Ok as the roofs all run east west so the backsides of the houses work fine
The old president tried a "one dish" rule a long time ago. This is when I had 4 on the roof and when Dish did the "split" locals where some minor locals were on the wing dish. We also have some immigrants who wanted international channels and they were on 61.5 (this is long before 118.7 and Superdishes). I was grandfathered but they told me if I took a dish and the mast off the roof I couldnt put it back on. Well I left the foot there. I found out about OTARD and showed it to the association and they shot down that stupid rule about one dish only. About 6 months later I was on the board

Sorry, but they CANNOT shoot down the OTARD rules.

no I meant they shot down the stupid "one dish" rule
only the former president wanted that. The rest didnt care how many dishes folks put up
I'm fully aware of OTARD and the rules. I've used that many times when folks ask me if they can put up a dish.

HERE TO HELP YOU!
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....

I remember this in the news too...
www.nbcnews.com
$14,000 spent on rented rotary phone
A widow rented a rotary dial telephone for 42 years, paying what her family calculates as more than $14,000 for a now- outdated phone.
www.nbcnews.com
That is a misnomer. In the old days you subscribed to telephone service. That included the telephone line and one telephone. An extension cost $1 a month extra. So that $14,000 over 42 years was for the service not the leased telephone. There is no way they paid $28 a month for 42 years for a leased telephone.I remember this in the news too...

I haven't posted in almost 17 years. Over the air, sat, offline, anything-but-the-internet is still one of my avid pursuits. Been playing with offline tv viewing and offline web browsing. I have great appreciations for this site still being here. It's so hard to find public communities that haven't sold out to social media company.

Hello folks, well my luck ran out last week with a nasty thunderstorm and after 39 years here, finally took a hit. Now, the FTA receivers I had for some years worked great until now. Recently picked up a fairly cheap receiver, online, KOQIT and seems to be good, but for the life of me, I cannot get the HDMI output to work with 3 of my Samsung monitors. I can hook it up to my Samsung TV and its HDMI input and it works fine. The 2 receivers I lost also worked fine with them, so am I going crazy? anyone have come across this or have any suggestions? And, since this is a somewhat cheap unit but works, what is everyone out there using for receivers these days? without breaking the bank? I enjoy watching FTA TV, so I will invest more if needed, what is a really good, detailed unit these days. I'm so use to watching a few of them HD channels. Right now I'm down to composite hookups, yuck! Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Frank

Take the cover off, show me pics of the board of the bad one and also the bottom of the board. I'm an old hardware electronics tech plus a satellite dealer; I fixed a lot of FTA and regular receivers. I may be able to fix it for you. And yes, they got hit by lightning; it's best to email me the pics at diamondsatellite@snet.net or call me at 203-232-8888. I give you a 50-50 chance of fixing it; I do have spare parts. my phone is a fliptop phoneHello folks, well my luck ran out last week with a nasty thunderstorm and after 39 years here, finally took a hit.

Now that I'm retired, obviously I have different health care insurance. I take 2 prescriptions. With my old insurance I didn't have to pay for either of them, now I do. It's not a huge amount but it led me to dig a little into the cost of prescription medications. I have been using Walgreens for the longest time. But what I found was that Walgreens price is 4.8 times more for one of my prescriptions and the other is 2.3 percent more compared to the lowest price pharmacy. If you pay for prescription medications you might want to have a look at trumprx and see if you can get a lower price.

Actually I take just 2 prescriptions, Atorvastatin and Lisinopril. They cost me $6 each for 100 pills. Next year that will be nothing.That's ok. I probably take enough for the two of us.
God knows what Bobby takes. Maybe so much they count as a meal?
