Seems like I'm having similar trouble to this thread? http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-ne...ogramming-remote-control-using-vip-722-a.html

I have a 722K and two TVs. We replaced TV1 with a TCL L40FHDF11TA, for which there is no code for the dish remote. I used the learning function to program TV1's remote which worked great, but it intermittently started controlling the receiver. Sometimes I could get it to change channels and bring up the guide, I could turn it on and off, then I'd set the remote down and 3 minutes later it wouldn't control the receiver at all. All the while, all buttons to control the new TV worked perfectly. I brought up the system info and tried to readdress the remote (or something like that), but no changes. I checked that both the receiver and the remote showed "2" as the address. I called dish tech support and they took me through various steps and ended up mailing me out a new 21.0 remote.

I followed the instructions and got the new remote working with the receiver by bringing up system info, pressing record, and the receiver changed its address to "15." Worked fine. I then programmed the new remote for the TV, using the learning mode again. The remote controlled everything fine that night and yesterday. Then this morning, my son was able to turn it on with the remote, but couldn't do anything else. I gave it a try and can't get any SAT buttons to work at all, even the power, but all of the buttons for TV are working fine.

What in the world is going on?? Is this iterferance from the new TV? Is it because I moved the receiver and various cables around when installing the TV? Is it a problem with the learning function?

Okay, nevermind. I found this thread: http://www.satelliteguys.us/199769-722k-remote-problem-major-problem-3.html and tried covering the IR sensors with tape and it's working again.

But now, I can't figure out how to get my TV2 remote back to just controlling TV2. When my first remote wetn nutty, I did something with mode and PIP, which made the TV2 remote work with TV1 while I was trying to figure out the TV1 remote problem. I've tried doing it in reverse, but I can't seem to get the TV2 remote to stop controlling TV1. I admit the whole single vs. dual mode thing confuses me. I'm pretty sure I usually leave it on dual so recordings can default to TV2 since that is least used?

If the TV2 remote changes TV1 then you are probably in single mode. Open the front right panel and you should see a button that says "mode" push it and it will put you in dual mode. To check if you're in single mode check the lights on the front, there are 2 lights to the left where all the lights are in the middle of the front. The left one is single mode the 2nd from left is dual mode. So if the left one is lit then you need to put it in dual mode. What single mode does is feeds both tuners to 1 tv so you can use PiP, while doing this it also mirrors that signal to TV2 and the TV2 remote then controls it also just like you were using the TV1 remote. That sounds like what is going on there.

Edit: So the remote you're using for TV1 says "2" on it? If so that's not right, you want to turn the key around and set it up for TV1 in the 6-1-3 or System Info screen. Make sure it's not the same address and #2 remote of course.

ARGH! Still having problems with the IR sensor. Where exactly is the sensor and where exactly do I put the tape? It's only working sometimes, even if I put black tape over the entire front window (if I'm taping where I think the sensor is)!

The UHF remote antenna is in the bedroom (TV2). There isn't one on the receiver (where TV1 is). If I switch this new remote to UHF mode (right now it's in IR mode), do I need to get a new antenna or move it? I think the technition put it in the bedroom because we had trouble wth it in the entertainment center.

BTW, the two remotes have different addresses, I just brought TV2's remote out to the living room so we had something to use until the new remote arrived.

If you ponied up for an iPhone Duo, keep it away from anything other than your soft, fleshy fingertips. No fingernails, no dust, sand, dirt, or other particulate matter. And don't bend it more than it needs to. Zack has destroyed $2,000 of Apple hardware to get those views, which should cover his expenses.

IFixIt has published their Teardown and they had some positive things to say about the iPhone Duo. It still showed some dust ingress into the hinge assembly but seemed otherwise well-sealed.
​

But with a considerable number of reports of the main screen dying with similar failures, AppleCare+ should be a no-brainer for this phone.

Don't know if any of you have watched this series yet, it would be interesting to see if you feel this review was accurate. It was very humorous to listen to however.

If the review is like the article, oi! Eighteen paragraphs into the review and... all they've done is not really talk at all about the actual thing they are reviewing.

Halfway into the "written" review, I know more about how the writer "thinks" than I do about what they are writing about. I understand their politics, their self-overestimated understanding of film, their inability to be funny.

Takes about 22 paragraphs to get to one that starts "Anyway, the story kicks off...". Talk about Slop! 😂

Season 2 order already in hand:

'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1

I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I'm sure I will watch at least the first episode but I am not optimistic.
Here i am over a year later and just finished season 1. Not great but not as bad as I was expecting. Did not care for the barefoot captain stuff but overall ok. Actually looking forward to see what they did for season 2.

Yeah, the foot stuff was just nasty. I kept thinking of how dirty her feet would get traipsing around shoe-less. Funny, I love being shoe less at home and never wear shoes indoors in my home for long, but seeing her laying on all her furniture with her bare feet hanging out just kind of grossed me out.

There would still be dirt ,dust in the future I am sure. So walking around the station like she did she would get stuff on her feet. I am sure the robot vacuum is still going to miss stuff, with all those different alien species running around there.

Where is it going to come from -- specifically?

Why do you think cleaning technology won't improve in the next few hundred years? HEPA filtration was invented as part of the Manhattan Project.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that. ;)

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.

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....
