I have a Dishpro dual lnb dish for 110-119 with a single dish next to it for 129 and a DP 34 switch. Will the existing Dishpro equipment work with the VIP series HD receivers or will it have to be changed to one of the 1000.x antennas?

You should be receiving a letter in the near future offering to change the 501 to a 512 and the 301 to a 311 at no cost. My understanding is that the 512 will work on one port if needed so as not to have to reinstall everything.

Well that makes things more interesting. Are they finally getting ready to pull the oldest mpeg2 stuff out of service? I also have a 510, are we to presume thats ready to be changed out also? And in the case of the 512 I see its a dual tuner unit. Does it incur the higher lease fee of a duo box or is it still considered a solo unit? Their website is confusing. It says its dual tuner for one room. So far all I have here is SD equipment but have been contemplating an upgrade to HD.

512 has the same equipment fee as a 510 ( $10 solo DVR), but is $3 more than the 501/508 ($7).

Slowly, but surely, we're trying to get everyone over to MPEG-4 equipment to free up some bandwidth.

You might as well just give him a 612 to replace his 510 and a 211 to replace his 301 that way he won't have to replace his equipment twice down the road.

Any idea what the approximate time frame for retiring the 301, 501 and 510 might be?
MattG@DISH
If they're defective, they are already being replaced with a newer 8PSK receiver.

As far as a time frame goes (until complete discontinuation), I have no idea. Honestly, I would go with ckhalil18's idea on just upgrading everything right away.

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!!!
