HERE TO HELP YOU!
Well, as I posted in my pub thread, severe weather took out my sat system (among other things) friday evening.
Called D*, and they sent out a tech today to get me fixed up. The guy, who was very knowledgeable, fixed everything, and replaced one of my HD-DVRs. He only had one box on the truck, so D* is going to ship me a replacement for the other one.
Having been in the threads here for a while, I constantly heard E* fans, and some D* people complain about the speed issues with the HR series, the later models moreso than the 20s (and some even on them). Having had two 20s, which most D* subs will tell you are the faster of the line, I really had not had any speed issues. Sure, it was not as fast as the ViP series, but it was not bad either.
Having gotten a brand spanking new HR-23 to play with now, I have to say, WOW....these things are SLOW!!! It, as of now, is roughly half the speed of the 20 that it replaced. Lag on button presses, slow to move through the guide, ect. I have to say, I was very disappointed. I can live with it, but at least now I understand the complaints.
Now, I am hopeful that the software on the box, since it is new, is simply not up to date, and the speed will approach what I had with the 20 once it updates. I will check the software version when I get home this evening.
Any ideas? I have done the normal advice we give subs, turn off native, turn off scrolling, ect.

that's because there is a significant difference there. what we're talking about is a difference but it's not a very huge difference so to notice it you must have a larger screen

Continuing the Kilauea thread in the Pub here. Perhaps the Iceland one too next time there's remarkable activity.
Currently there is precursory lava flowing into the crater, leading to the next episode that'll probably start within the next day.
You can see the pace of inflation / deflation here. It serves as the primary predictor for when the expect the eruptions, which coincide w/ inflation turning into significant deflation and last for several hours on average with significant fountaining.

Wife and I like the AfarTV feeds, for the discussion along w/ them, though they're otherwise just mirrors of the official USGS feeds.

Not sure saving $24/year is worth it unless you're a hardcore Philo user. I'll stick with monthly.

'Rockford Files' Reboot Gets NBC Pilot Order
I grow tired of all the reboots. Most I don't bother with but will depend on the actor chosen.

I have Dish with Hopper3. I choose to get local channels OTA and had a "guide list" established at my previous home. Having moved a few miles away, I wanted to update the list by appending a couple new stations via a rescan. As many would know, some stations come in with the UHF/VHF antenna aimed in one direction, while others come in better with a different direction.
Unfortunately, when a scan is done (bringing in 25-30 stations for that particular antenna aim), the dialog screen does not present the established guide list; it presents an empty field to the right that the scanned stations may be selected one by one and added to the empty guide. But because of antenna aim, some stations originally saved are missing, and would have to be retrieved with a different antenna aim. But as I explain, if a 2nd scan is done with a different antenna aim, the stations saved from the first scan are lost.
It troubles me that Dish didn't develop software that would allow a user to simply append only 1 or 2 channels to the established list.
Any thought on this? Has anyone experienced this or heard of this from others?
