There was a thread about Dish taking Fuse off the air and adding Palladia(well, I already had it but they must have added it to another package?)

The thread had a link to the Fuse website where you could send a request to keep Fuse on Dish Network.

Here is the Dish response I received in an email yesterday: :rant:

[SIZE=+0][SIZE=+0]Dear DISH Network Customer,

Effective June 30, 2010 DISH Network launched Palladia, showcasing the best in music from the world's most popular artists. DISH Network customers who subscribe to America's Top 200 and above now receive this upgraded programming in place of Fuse.


[SIZE=+0]Palladia offers the best music-related content from MTV, VH1 and CMT. Embracing the full spectrum of music offerings from MTV Networks' Music Group, Palladia features concert series, events, and original Palladia productions including: VH1 Storytellers, CMT Crossroads, MTV2's $2 Bill, MTV Video Music Awards, VH1 Hip Hop Honors and CMT Music Awards. Original programming includes a weekly music video countdown show, artist interviews, and backstage extras.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+0]DISH Network has decided to replace Fuse with Palladia to offer our customers even better music-related content. We are excited to provide Palladia to most of our customers now and feel this change will provide a better choice for this type of programming.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+0]Thank you for your email.

Sincerely,

DISH Network eCare

Dear Dish Network:
I am disappointed that you have chosen to take Fuse off the air. As a Dish customer who is interested in the best in music programming on television I want to voice my extreme displeasure. With so much competition from other providers for my business, I would expect my opinion should matter to you. Please put Fuse back on my channel line-up.
[SIZE=+0]Thank you,
Mark Sparks [/SIZE]

Fuse is a chump channel and so is AMC. I really don't get those who are whining about the loss of such lame channels. R.I.P to Fuse, I say. Now, IFC, I do like, and they do air some "original" or British sitcoms (The IT Crowd being one) that are not seen on any other channel in the U.S.

A real music channel

Now Voom was a real music channel. It carried Later w/ Jools Holland from Britain. Fuse was in SD so I didn't even know what it was until E* dropped it and Fuse thread showed up.

Maybe back in the day AMC was a chump channel, or maybe it was just because I was younger but I would be highly ticked if I couldn't watch Breaking Bad, and there is the upcoming "The Walking Dead" that is coming to AMC in Oct. I can't wait for that. I haven't watched IFC in a long time and FUSE never really interested me, except maybe the occasional music video. Everyone has different tastes, hence different TV channels. I never thought I would be watching MTV2 again but Lucha Libre wrestling starts up this Friday.

Agreed :up

I didnt' even watch Fuse because it was in SD, I only watch HD. So the only reason I responded to the request to keep it on was because someone posted about it and asked others to go to the Fuse website and submit the request to keep it on. Of course, I knew Dish would not do it, but I hate to see any channel be lost.

It just seems like Dish is losing a lot of channels and that is not good, if they are SD only channels I will probably never even know about it. :rant:

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!!!
