Seriously? The 4 codes in the manual won't TOUCH my Marantz SR7200 receiver. I'm relatively certain the UHF remote on my old PVR501 could handle it, and my old DirecTiVO remote was flawless. This can't be difficult. All the nice Marantz receivers use the same remote!

I've tried the 4 listed codes, and tried hunting through all the other codes. Has anyone had success with this? It's ridiculous. Minor compared to some other apparent 921 issues, but still... unacceptable. I may end up returning this thing over that stupid little issue. Particularly with the +/- 20dB volume levels going from SD to 5.1 HD channels, I need immediate volume control!

Has anyone managed to get this working? I know I'm not the only one with one of these fine receivers.

Yeah, my Marantz came with a really nice universal remote but it's tough to map in all the DBS and PVR features onto it.

The Dish remote does not do 'punch through' volume control for receivers. The work-around is to enter the code for your receiver as an AUX device. When you want to adjust the volume, you press the AUX button, change the volume, then press the SAT button to re-engage the the 921 controls. Clunky, I know.

The other option is to get a real universal remote, like the MX500, and program all the 921 functions in to it. The downside there is that you lose the UHF capabilities if you need them.

WildBill - you are mistaken. I just programmed my 921 remote to control the volume on my Sony A/V receiver while it's in SAT mode.

Trouble is, I don't remember how I did it - it's in the manual, tho.

After you have found the code to work your amp, do this:

Hold in the AUX button till they all light up
Press the # (pound) Button
Press the (plus) + side of the volume button
Press the 0 (zero) button...now the AUX button should flash 3 times
Press the SAT button
Now even in satellite mode when you change the volume button the AUX light will light, the volume willchange and you will still be in SAT mode.

Found on page 88 of user manual toward the bottom titled "Switching between TV and device volume control"

Yeah, that's the way I had my 501's UHF remote set up as well. Infuriates me that they apparently killed the relevant Marantz codes.

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!!!
