Dish Remote Access prob & Changes w/ Eastern Arc

OK,

Two part question here.

1. Dish Remote Access is not working for some reason. When I try to access the web page, it says my ViP622 is not connected. I get an IP address from my router when I go through the broadband setup/reset, and I see it on my router. (My SlingBox Solo fried, so I wanted to get the Remote Access working, so this is the first time trying this.) Are there ports that need to be opened or forwarded on the router?

2. My current setup is Dish 500 looking at the 110/119 birds and a wing dish on the 61.5 bird. I own all my equipment - two 301's, a 508, and a ViP622. I did an online chat with Dish about the WHUP615 program and got two answers from their CSR - I needed to lease new receivers that "required" professional installation, then when I said I wanted them mail to me, they said the program didn't apply and I didn't need to do anything. I asked to chat with their supervisor, and when I did, they gave me the same two answers in the same order when I said the same things. I've been a customer for 11+ years and have always done my own installs (have a separate "service" address to get locals). I currently have America's Everything Pack and have decided to drop the two 301's, drop the 508, and drop to the AT250, so I will only have the ViP622. Do I still need the 1000.4 dish/LNB to get just AT250 on the ViP622? I'm stumped as to why they won't just drop ship a dish and let me put it up, and I don't want to lease...

Any other thoughts on Remote Access?

1) That DRA issue seems to be wide spread with all different types of receivers.

2)Go to a local retailer. With that 1004 setup all your receivers will have to be VIPs or they will not work. Local retailer you can find on Dish's site.

If you do not need locals, I would just swing the 500 dish to the 72 sat and you would receive all the channels. I have seen the 1000.4 dishes on ebay going for as low as $60 if you want the complete EA.

I have eastern arc and a 722k. -my DRA is screwy most of the time. When I access it from my iphone I usually have to let it sit stagnate for a few min then it connects. When I load it via the web it also usually takes a few min. I could probably count on one hand how many times its been an instant access. I figure/hope its a software glitch that will eventually go away...

Also, if I go to my account on dishnetwork.com, it says my receiver is not connected to the BB. (and its connected and I connect to it all of the time)

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

We had that in Chicago for about 9 months with CHSN, before Comcast came in and in order for them to carry the channel, the OTA signal had to be taken down.

Peacock jacking their rates even higher!

Just received this email:

Your Premium Annual Plan Will Renew Soon and We've Updated Our Prices
We hope you're enjoying Peacock! We wanted to let you know that we're changing the prices of Peacock annual plans as follows:

Premium Annual from $79.99 to $109.99

Premium Plus Annual from $139.99 to $169.99

All prices do not include applicable taxes. Prices for any add-ons, such as a Regional Sports Network, will remain the same.

Your annual Peacock plan will auto-renew on 11/25/25 for 1 year at $109.99 plus applicable taxes unless you cancel before that date. If you are currently on an offer, your promotional pricing will continue through the end of your promotional period.

To view your upcoming payment or manage your plan go to your Account. To cancel, select "Cancel Plan" within your account page or follow the steps described here.

I'll be canceling, and waiting to see if there's another Black Friday special. If not, that's it for us. IMO, Peacock isn't worth anywhere near $79.99, much less $109.99!

I subscribed to Peacock for 1 month because of Tour de France this month. First time subscribing to Peacock since they did away with the amazing Black Friday 1 year deals. What is different - I bought it through my YouTube Premium account, so I can watch all the Peacock through the YouTube app. This is the first time I have experienced this where you don't have to switch apps. For Paramount+ I need to switch to a different app. When I subscribed to CHSN or Marquee, I need to switch to their apps. And last time I subscribed to Peacock, I had to be in their app.

I am blown away that I can subscribe to Peacock on YouTube and watch all the content directly on YouTube.

Yep! Normal YouTube. Just like when I buy NFL Sunday Ticket. I don't have YouTube TV. My local NBC channlel, the live streaming channels, and all the movies/tv shows are all just on YouTube. Everything on Peacock now says "purchased" - previously it would say "buy" and I would have to buy all the shows individiually.

That Does make sense, when I get the ST on YTTV, they show up in the YTTV Guide, so I guess Peacock and others I presume, show up as well.

I did get another streaming app off the YTTV menu a long time ago, but don't remember if it showed on the YTTV guide or if I went to the App for the Streaming service.

I see Some of the Streaming options show up in the YTTV options to purchase, but not all.... (Major wise) Paramount Plus with Showtime is there and a few others as well.

Dish/Directv both will be around (likely combined and rebranded) for at least another 10-15 years.
Yes, the number of subscribers will continue to decrease over time but that is not the end of the world as some like to predict.

And, the business will make money during that time, perhaps not much, but it will be profitable.
