My 920 is still not converted. HITS Sub on my 410. This morning my 920, sitting turned off, on X4 has updated it's clock. Very cool.

Well, this is "odd" but related. My DSR-410 subbed on W-5 was correct yesterday, but today, for awhile in these evening hours it "added" an hour and read one hour later than the DST time we changed-to yesterday! It has since corrected itself, but it made me double check my PC's proper time to verify that it had moved another hour forward. Never saw this happen before. (it IS accurate now.)

My subbed DSR-410 receiver adds an hour EVERYTIME we turn on the receiver since the time change last weekend. Then after an hour or so it corrects itself. This along with the guide being off by 1/2 an hour is beginning to make our HITS experience not as enjoyable.

Call SRL and have them rehit your box for some reason your timezone is not set properly. When you pay for a service you have the right to contact the provider when something is wrong and get a resolution.

Kinda funny with the 4DTV now when you go to other channels on other birds. Your time can advance many hours or a few minutes or hit right. There is nothing you can do either since some channel's reference is off. Ever watch a DVB receivers clock on auto time set :eek:

Friday evening when I walked into the living room I noticed my converted 922 was one hour ahead and also reflected in the guide, but working normally. Without intervention it corrected itself and later switched back and forth during the course of Friday evening at least 3 times. No changes occurred on the trip counter during that period and has been normal since Saturday morning.

The only other thing that I've noticed at times other satellites show up in the guide, like C4 when X4 is the only tile currently selected from the setup menu. It listed some ABC HD network and some other strange channels.???

My non-converted non-subbed 922 did not make the DST change. It was way off for the longest time and then about 2 weeks ago the clock updated to the then current EST. I was not on any DC2 channels then but lately I have been but no time update.

Up until the last week I thought the time issue wasn't affecting me. Then I noticed that the guide didn't agree with the programs and found my time switching in and out of DST. Haven't been off of X4 since I noticed this, about a week. Also haven't tied it to any particular channels. Seems to happen mostly early afternoon but is correct about 90% of the time.

Washington Post

SpaceX has held talks with Boost's parent company EchoStar in recent months about launching its own signature wireless service through a deal with the company, according to two people familiar with the negotiations.
Musk, the SpaceX CEO, has discussed the deal personally, meeting with EchoStar chairman Charlie Ergen last month, according to the people. The potential deal may result in SpaceX acquiring Boost Mobile or SpaceX gaining access to its network, which it leases from AT&T and T-Mobile US, the people said.
Access to those lease agreements would be a coup for SpaceX. The back door would allow Musk to make a play for a U.S. wireless market that equity research firm MoffettNathanson estimates is worth $235 billion. But the proposed service may need consent from those carriers for the service to actually launch, the people said.

Can't remember where or who I saw predict this. :D

It wouldn't surprise me to see Elon soon own all of DISH / Echostar in the future.

Again, why would Musk want a TV Service, specially one that is losing over a million subscribers a year.

Phone service…maybe, but not TV.

I know he wants TV. He wants to deliver EVERYTHING to EVERYWHERE.

Again, if so, why would he want Dish/Sling of all the providers?

He could deliver anything without actually owning, for example, watching the Lions game in my Tesla Y on it's screen via the YT app, while on the way to my future in-laws on Sunday.

If Musk really wants to buy Boost, he might get a great price once Dish Wireless is out of Chapter 11.

Boost just lost 182,000 subs in the 3rd quarter-

Is Dish like Iran in one way...they both will totally collapse by end of week :)
Foxbat
Other than the price, my experience with Boost is not that different than what I experienced with my years with Cricket. I will be curious to see what happens if SpaceX takes the reins.

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....

Rodney Dangerfield is great. One of his best one liners - "My wife likes to talk to me during sex, last night she called me from Florida!"

Jackie Gleason is another one of the greats.
