It was announced about a month ago that a ham radio and scanner forums was going to be added to the site. Just wondering if there was any update as to when they'll launch?

Scott if you need a mod per se to run it I dont have an issue being the mod assigned to it. :)

Most of us mods handle the whole site anyways if there are issues :)

Ice, Are you a ham radio op? If so what's your call sign? Mine Is Kilo Niner Sierra Alpha Tango (K9SAT) I think for the ham radio forum's the mods should have a callsign, (right of passage of going through the testing process) After all how are you going to tell a guy he's wrong about Digipeating and the messaging processes if you don't know what its about. There is alot to learn in this area as Ham radio is very very diverse, much more that Free to Air!

um, lets see Bob.

Scott wants to have it as a ham and scanner forum. Last I checked I have a few police scanners in my house so hmm I guess that qualifies ;)
2nd...we tried this before (a ham forum) and there was very little traffic so Scott got rid of it. Will it work this time? Who knows but unless a bunch of folks here all of a sudden became hams there still wont be a lot of traffic.
3rd...gee I didnt know I HAD to know about ham radio to be a mod. Don't know what the hell the last part of your post (the jab at FTA) is for. Most staff here don't need to say "oh so and so is right". Its more of making sure there is no flaming on posts, combine threads etc. Most staff crosses the whole site. Other mods go and take care of reported posts in the FTA area if I'm not around. :)

Wow, talk about attitude there ice!

It was my understanding that the ham radio and scanner forums were two separate forums! :cool:


I dont certainty ever remember there being a ham radio forum here in the past five years that I have been here! Looking at this thread obviously there are requests for it. So why not give it another shot if indeed there was one before!

I only suggested that the moderator of the ham radio forum be one for common ground as there is alot to ham radio. Ice, please dont let your personal convictions take place of a good topic. After all If I suggest anything your jumping down my throat. And if thats the way you are acting towards me, I can only imagine why no one would want to be in our ham radio forum. Especially if you know nothing about the topic. Who are you to say what goes on in the ham radio forum, It has yet to be decided what goes on in there and not only that, I dont see anyone telling you how to run your area of this site! So why should you do the same to others. Its very hypocritical!

Also, I wasn't making a jab about Free to air, its a known fact that there is much more to ham radio than free to air, but then again you dont know because you dont have your ticket (aka callsign) So please, dont take it as a jab as its not. I know that you dont know because you wouldn't of said what you said if you knew.

I want the best for all of our satguy hams thats out there and if thats too much for you, im sorry I dont know what to say. How about this, Why not let me run with it and Ill teach you everything you need to know from foxhunting to Dxing! Hell we might even find common ground. I dont know of any other hobby where you can littarlly bounce signals off of the moon to talk to someone halfway across the world (and you dont even need to do that)

You could learn alot and realize there is much more to learn as ham radio is a very good hobby (up there with FTA) :up So chilax. Having a ticket for the ham radio moderators is a good thing, in fact every major ham radio site requires it! If you dont have your ticket they wont give you the time of the day because with your licence that the FCC gives you, it comes with special privileges! You have no idea what those privelages are until you earn them via your licence category.

So lets get that Signal to Noise ratio down a bit and learn about how fun it is to go on a foxhunt or what its like to get that first contact. Feild day is coming up, I invite you to go to your local ham radio club and learn what its all about. They should have a gota station up (get on the air) No license is required for it, as long as there is a license ham around. Once you make that first contact your hooked for life!

"73" - And good luck on any future contacts QSL!

Wow, talk about attitude there ice!
no attitude here :)

It was my understanding that the ham radio and scanner forums were two separate forums! :cool:
I figured it would be one but if Scott feels the need for two forums then thats fine. Maybe start it as one and if two are needed (like when the C-Band area and 4DTV broke off into 2 forums) then break it off

I dont certainty ever remember there being a ham radio forum here in the past five years that I have been here!
there was a ham forum a long time ago...maybe 4-5 years ago (maybe 6 I forget). It didnt have much traffic so it was closed out

Ice, please dont let your personal convictions take place of a good topic.
what are you talking about Bob? Myself and pro 96 were having some good conversation about police scanners :)

After all If I suggest anything your jumping down my throat. And if thats the way you are acting towards me, I can only imagine why no one would want to be in our ham radio forum. Especially if you know nothing about the topic. Who are you to say what goes on in the ham radio forum, It has yet to be decided what goes on in there and not only that, I dont see anyone telling you how to run your area of this site!

uh Bob try again. I do know about how ham radio works so saying I know nothing about the topic is bull. Funny how you are supposedly putting words in my mouth when all I posted originally is "Scott if you need a mod for that area I can help out" and then you start attacking me. Please post where I was saying how to run the forum.

hmmm sounded like a jab to me.

How about this, Why not let me run with it
uh sorry Bob but you were staff here before and you screwed that up. You had many many chances and you kept blowing it.

no attitude here :)

The way it was written certainty was perceived that way!

Cband and 4DTV are very similar topics, Ham radio and Scanners are completely diffrent topics. The only common trending is you can listen to ham radio on a scanner. But with ham radio there are multiple topics that have nothing to do with scanners.

there was a ham forum a long time ago...maybe 4-5 years ago (maybe 6 I forget)

4-6 years is a long time to not revisit a topic. Its like posting in a uverse forum 4 years ago when Uverse was non existent.

what are you talking about Bob? Myself and pro 96 were having some good conversation :)

Yes you indeed were, while I was typing my response. Took me a while though. :)

uh Bob try again. I do know about how ham radio works so saying I know nothing about the topic is bull. Funny how you are supposedly putting words in my mouth when all I posted originally is "Scott if you need a mod for that area I can help out" and then you start attacking me.

Iceberg I never attacked you, and you perceived it as such, infact with alot of my posts when ever they are directed twards your general line of area, you allways are the one to take it the wrong way. I dont know what it is, but with you (your the only one) that seems to take things wrong. Looking at my OP, I asked you if you were a ham radio op, and gave you my call sign. If you were, I was going to see about hooking up with you on Echolink. Its a very common thing to exchange call signs like that, and with you not knowing it, its not putting words into your mouth, its common knowledge that one should know as a ham radio op. I then suggested that ham radio forum should have moderators that have their tickets and gave an example of a situation where the moderator should have direct knowledge of the subject they are moderating over. Just like you have direct knowledge of FTA, Rocky has direct knowledge of dish, ect.

I cant help it if you perceive the message as such of an attack, because anyone who knows any little bit about ham radio knows that wasn't a direct attack

There is a difference between calling you a dirt bag (thats an attack - only used as an example) and posting what I posted. I cant fix stupid and if only you perceive it like an attack because you dont like me, when reality is much different there isnt nothing I can do about that. But being a Moderator here you should show great care about what is posted here and what you show to the public and our site sponsors. I know im the one to talk because of my past, Yea I screwed up but I learned my lesson. Is there anything I can do to change the past, nope, only the future. So please, do take great care before jumping on any member who is not a hacker! You have to be 100 percent positive what was said was the message intent! After this message I will be effectively walking away and going to bed! Why? Cause there's no more need to be discussing an attack that was never there.

hmmm sounded like a jab to me.

Ill leave that one alone.

uh sorry Bob but you were staff here before and you screwed that up. You had many many chances and you kept blowing it.

Nice of you to keep kicking a guy down. In fact I'm calling for your immediate resignation! Why? because you obvious have something against me and have to continuously bring up the past.. Is very obvious you cant let the past go! Ice, Im sorry that you cant forgive and forget. Im sorry that your so selfish to even bring that up. I lost all respect for you. But the truth is no matter how much good I do, you are the one who would still find a way to kick a guy down. Its very sad!

You know I understand that you have done alot for the Free to Air area, and I respect that, but its very sad when moderators get there kicks on kicking down members of this site no matter who the member is. For that you should resign.. Its no better than DBSTALK, and if you cant understand that, Im sorry for you.

Yea that's cool and look at that price. Only thing I did not like about the Pro-34 was the scanning speed (6ch/sec) so by upgrading the proper crystal you would scan just as fast as the Pro-37. Also by removing a Diode you would open up the 800Mhz band with no gaps which was fun at the time .. shhhhhh lol

yeah I know. Crazy price. But then again they wanted over a 100 bucks for a 10 channel back then

Due to security concerns and the fact that the Tapatalk Plugin for Xenforo is no longer being updated we have removed Tapatalk support from SatelliteGuys.

For those who were using it we recommend using our PWA App instead which is faster and does not have all the spam Tapatalk had. Below is a graphic showing how to add SatelliteGuys to your devices home screen. (While iOS is shown the process is mostly the same for Android.)

Thanks for your understanding. :)

What is PWA app? PWA utilities seem to be a Spanish app. I hope you are seeing this since nothing seems to be working. I will miss SatelliteGuys. Tapatalk worked well. The Siri browser doesn't seem to work well.

I have had good experiences with Brave but lately I am frustrated with it.

Now when I launch the app it shows a box at the bottom asking if I want to go back to the last opened page. It is in conveniently located and I would prefer to eliminate it.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Please let's not sidetrack the discussion into an exploration of why I don't care for it or a lecture about all the wonderful aspects of the feature. I just do not care for it.

I don't have an Android phone so I don't know if this will apply to the Brave settings on your android device but it works on the desktop for me.

Change this setting to either startup to a different website or a new tab page. I have mine set to open to google.com instead of where I left off and it doesn't ask me at the next startup if I want to open the last opened page unless it crashed.

Thank you for trying to help. However thrse choices do not appear in Android. There is a setting for "New Tab Pages" that is similar but does not include your choice. I have tried all of the existing entries with no success

Hello everyone.

I am new here and I done a search on MLB Extra Innings and DISH and it led me to this forum and so I signed up and hopefully someone can help me out with some issues.

First off, I am a DISH Outdoors customer and I signed up for service back in late October of 2025. I have a Wally HD Receiver and I am using the DISH Playmaker OS 2.1 as my Antenna that operates on 110 and 119 Western Arc and Alternative 61.5, 110, and 119 satellites. I signed up for MLB Extra Innings back in March before the season began. I was excited to be able to watch MLB Extra Innings because I love baseball and I use to have MLB Extra Innings on Satellite DIRECTV back in 2001-2004 and on Satellite DISH back in 2016 and 2017.

I was a bit disappointed when I found out that it is actually MLB.TV Simulcasted to DISH Satellite (More on that later) Anyways I have been watching faithfully almost every night however about a week ago there was a problem. When I went to go to the game to watch a game the game wouldn't come in an I would send a refresh signal to my receiver and then I could watch the programming and when I went to switch games at that games appointed time slot my Wally HD Receiver who lockup where I couldn't change any channels or view the guide and it would reboot. The next night when I turned to a game at game start it still had the background it shows before the game started and again send a refresh signal and went though this same thing over and over. I added a movie channel to my lineup and had issues with showing up my Dish Wally HD Receiver.

With an investigation after several calls with DISH Support it was determined that by going to the diagnostics screen that I had a issue with my Tuner because any changes that I made to my programming these changes would not take affect on the Wally HD Receiver. In other words that Wally HD Receiver was toast!

I too had reported MLB Extra Innings issue to DISH and they created a ticket for it and said that someone would investigate the issue. I too took notice that under MyDISH account under MLB Extra Innings always before it would show that I was subscribed and on auto-renew. Now it shows nothing and even after logging out and deleting my User Name and Password so that I can see it in guest mode it too doesn't even list a price and option for purchase as does the now WNBA League Pass.

After my DISH Receiver was ruined I had to buy a new Wally HD Receiver. I took advantage an bought 2 HD Wally's and added them both to my account. I called back to remove the old box off of the account and was told it was linked to MLB Extra Innings and the advanced technical support team said there was a glitch with MLB Extra Innings and hope to have a resolution in a couple of days and I could call back in to then to remove the box. But both the 2 new Wally HD Receivers are activated on my account. I asked them what the problem was with MLB Extra Innings and how long it would be and I was told there was a glitch as I asked to specify what they meant and got no answer. I again went and checked the MyDISH account page under the MLB Extra Innings page and it still doesn't list me as subscribed and after logging out and deleting my User Name and Password so I could it see it as a guest mode and it still doesn't list the price and option for purchase as it does for the WNBA League Pass.

I am afraid to boot up these boxes and go through the activation screen process because of the issues with the MLB Extra Innings in fear it will do the same or mess up my boxes from being able to receive MLB Extra Inning because or any other programing because I was told that MLB Extra Innings wouldn't come in on those new box because it was activated with the Wally that is ruined and it needs removed first.

Now I have no DISH service going on a week and miss my MLB Extra Innings when the races are just heating up and now with two boxes activated I can't boot up because I am afraid it will mess them up and I will be out the $180.00 or so dollars I made in purchase on the receivers.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with their MLB Extra Innings and does anyone really know what this so called glitch actually is? I can't seem to get a clear answer from anybody and don't even know if it will even be fixed or anyone really understands it.

Now to my previous statement on how I was disappointed that MLB Extra Innings is actually MLB.TV in simulcast. When I had MLB Extra Innings before with DIRECTV in 2001-2004 and with DISH form 2016 and 2017. They would always show the commercials for every teams broadcast from their local market and all games would be authentic just as if you were watching in their home market. After I quit DISH I went to streaming for awhile and I done MLB.TV and I hated their features because of the no commercials, the delayed times of getting back after the commercial break, and not being able to listen to what studios had to say when they would cut into the studios, and always looking at the screen during commercial breaks with a screen that says commercial break in progress and a silhouette background of MLB Players doing baseball things and the their crazy commercial breaks sound. I was excited to go back to DISH thinking I escaped the horrors of MLB.TV. Well its actually the same thing. I compared them side by side and actually MLB.TV is ahead by just a few seconds. So actually MLB Extra Innings on Satellite is delayed from time period wise from actually watching MLB.TV which shows it is simulcasted. My question is when did this start? And is this legal? This isn't what I know MLB Extra Innings to be. I too had signed up for NHL Center Ice this past winter and thank goodness its authentic! They still have the commercials and its like watching it as you were in their home network and its the way it oughta be even if you only do get one feed of NHL Center Ice per team on DISH and don't know which feed it is every night.

Looking forward to your responses. So far happy with DISH but unhappy with this last week and the ruining of a Wally HD Receiver.

I hope I can be of some contribution here as well.

Sincerely,

RJ T.

I know they are doing some major satellite work - the second satellite at 110 which is now in use, and they are moving channels between 119 and 110. Maybe since there are no other sports going on, have they temporarily cut back on the out of market sports packages? I am not sure. It looks like those channels are all coming from 119 TP 13, 110 TP 12, and 110 TP 09.

Also, Dish's Scheduled Satellite Maintenance page doesn't have anything going on:

Trying to get use to this forum and where everything is located at. I saw you responded from my post on the changes and took me a while to get back to see this post. But yes, it is exactly what I was thinking. I too noticed the change of MLB Extra Innings from 110 to 119. Because of 30 teams they have to algin everything. Only other sport going on PPV wise is WNBA League Pass and I do not have a subscription to that but maybe some else who has it can confirm what they done and what satellite and transponders they are on.

This is a big shift for DISH. I just hope if Charlie Ergen does ever sell out to anyone that I can continue to use my DISH Playmaker and I can keep my Wally's. If its anything like what happened to DIRECTV a few years back which turned out to be a total disaster when AT&T acquired DIRECTV nothing there changed with boxes or anything and you continued to use the same service but I was very surprised to see AT&T sell it to TPG especially after they had just bought it now long ago.

So actually MLB Extra Innings on Satellite is delayed from time period wise from actually watching MLB.TV which shows it is simulcasted. My question is when did this start? And is this legal? This isn't what I know MLB Extra Innings to be. I too had signed up for NHL Center Ice this past winter and thank goodness its authentic! They still have the commercials and its like watching it as you were in their home network and its the way it oughta be even if you only do get one feed of NHL Center Ice per team on DISH and don't know which feed it is every night.

Looking forward to your responses. So far happy with DISH but unhappy with this last week and the ruining of a Wally HD Receiver.

I hope I can be of some contribution here as well.

Sincerely,

Update on MLB Extra Innings as of 5:50 P.M. CDT June 10, 2026...

I am getting tired of not being able to watch any baseball games and having paid for MLB Extra Innings and not knowing what the reason is I called dish back at 1-800-333-3474. I guess after all of my calls my call was routed to the Advanced Technical Support Team. I had something happen that I never knew they could do and they gained access into my Wally Receiver. I was told settings look good and right now on the only channel that shows is the MLB1 Baltimore Orioles Channel. They are playing the at home against the Seattle Mariners right now. She was able to access to that channel which prompted a purchase a Rent option. That signaled a red flag to her right away. She escalated a ticket with photographs and info from my screen to the top tier advanced programing technical department and told me they received the ticket and are reviewing it now. They got back to her and said they would have information within 30 minutes. I either get the channels within 30 minutes or I am to call back and they will advance from there. Seems like maybe my persistence is paying off. I will keep you informed. Maybe we can all have a resolution to this shortly.

Final Update... As of 8:08 P.M. CDT June 10, 2026.

I now have MLB Extra Innings back! Look at the photo! (I did not include full image of the game due to copyright)

Let me just say it was rough! Very rough! And lets just say Charlie Ergen should be ashamed of his customer service team and how they handled this whole issue.

After multiple calls after my last post only to get the run around with answers like there are no refunds on MLB Extra Innings once the season starts, to they are working on it, to accessing my screen and sending multi hits to the box.

All I asked was one simple question remove the MLB Extra Innings which they confirmed I had and reauthorize free of charge. I was given a 1,000 reasons why this couldn't be done.

Well..........

I paid for it myself.... $120.00 current rate and it works!

I called back in to let them know what I done and what I thought of the customer service and told them I needed refunded. I was told they didn't do refunds....

Well again I called back and got someone who refunded the original payment of $150.00 back to my account. A $30 discount for all the hard trouble I went though.

It is now up to you all out there that have MLB Extra Innings to try to get them to do this but I am afraid you are going to have to take your own action and purchase again and beg for a refund or be out the $150.00 originally paid.

Persistence pays off. I don't give up very easily.

You can all go here below to make the purchase if you have any trouble.


I hope it all works well for you! And best of luck to everyone who has it!

I will still be around on this forum. You all sound like a fine group of people! I hope I can contribute more.

Take care!

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 was bewildered with all the new DISH TV "Bonus View" channels, so I put together a web page table with all the info I could find. It's at:

https://anythingpeaceful.org/dishtv/DISH_TV_Bonus_View_Channels.html

Here's a partial screenshot of the table, as sorted by Channel Name. (You can click on a column header to sort.)

One added, one removed. But I think it's really only a name change, with similar (or identical?) programming.
