Dish came out a year ago and installed an eastern arc and a separate wing dish so I could get receiption on my patio. 3 weeks ago I went outside to check the dish because the signal was horrible and I noticed the wing dish was coming off the wall. I called dish and they came out (I have the 6 buck a month deal so it was a 15 dollar call)
The guy came out, surveyed my unit (I'm in a condo) and started to remount a new dish on my roof. I asked him what he was doing and he didn't know why I didn't put it on the roof to begin with. I told him that we weren't allowed. He said that was funny because from where he was standing he could see 5 other units in my neighborhood that had roof mounts. I talked to a former board member and they told me that yes, people do it all the time in the neighborhood.
Guess what... Yesterday I got a call telling me to take it down or the association would take it down for me. So I have to go to a meeting tonight and I'll be fighting to keep it (otherwise, no biggie, I can patch the holes myself, although the installer stated that it would not leak)
My question... (yes there is one) Will dish give me slack because I need to call up and have the dish moved yet again? 15 dollars is no biggie to have it done, I just don't want a fight on my hands. The sad thing about it, you can't even see the dish. It's on a hidden section of the roof where only I can see it. The only reason they nailed me was because they cleaned out the gutters and saw it. So now I have to have it installed on my front patio roof because according to FCC I'm allowed to have it installed there even though it's going to look like a huge eye sore and will be especially bad since 3 of my neighbors are trying to sell their units.

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?

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. 
Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

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....

Lately my eight year old Dell laptop has been shutting off even when I have a full battery. I have had to keep it plugged up all the time to keep this from happening. Any idea what is causing this? I replaced the battery about three years ago.

I set up a music server for my brother a few years ago. It's basically a small headless computer but it needs to have a DHCP IP address reserved for it in the router settings. This was easy to do in his DSL router. He's switching to Starlink now and I was wondering if these setting are easily accessible in the Starlink router. I'm pretty sure he will be getting the latest V5 router.

If you can restrict the DHCP address space to assign addresses to one end of the subnet (i.e. x.x.x.50+), you can manually assign the IP address on pretty much any operating system. This is a default behavior on several popular routers. As the Router Mini only supports 235 devices, I expect that's already done.
Another option is to use a router that supports PoE to power the antenna. This article discusses that option (under PoE Power heading):
