Dish remote access

Hey guys I had a couple questions about the remote app. I'm currently using it for iOS and it functions nicely. I do have some things I'm trying to confirm though
1. When you pull up your dvr selection on the app does it also show you recordings you have on your external drive?
2. I'm having issues when I go into the dvr section. If I choose to display my recordings by the "date" option I find it dosent do this correctly and has the recordings scattered randomly and not displayed by the day they were recorded. Is anyone else having this problem?
3. Is there anyway in the guide area so that you can hide the sd duplicates? Can you set it up to just display your favorite channels?
Thanks guys

Answer to 1 .. yes external hard drive recordings are mixed in
#2 - Date order ... :) by chance does the date correspond to when the item was originally created? Because in DRA on the PC that's how it sorts.. example.. 2 weeks ago I recorded 2001 A Space Oddessey ... it shows at the bottom of my recordings 52nd .... it was created in 1968 ... so that's the date it used during the sort.

#3 don't know if the app can do it..

Okay so after reading your post and messing around with the app you are correct. The app sorts your recording by the date the program originated-not when it was recorded. In my opinion this is a huge fail and I hope Dish fixes this. I hope Dish can address these issues with their remote app as I feel D's app was much more polished

yeah.. good luck with that..

DRA has been like that for a *VERY* long time.. even after 6 months of complaining, **AND** having seen the version numbers for DRA jump THREE TIMES in six months.. the problem is still there.

Its just like with DishOnline and *its* refusal to use the names of events as *I*, the user, had named them.

An example: in the platinum pack thingy ... you get Palladia ... an MTV owned "mtv" that is.. a station that really plays ONLY music shows and videos.. I've gone back to recording a few videos I really like ... 3 minute, 5 minute, music videos etc.. .... These video's start with the name "HDNet Music" or some such thing .. I rename them to indicate the song or the artist.. and in my DVR .. all is well with the world..

BUT, go to dish online.. and all of these music videos are then grouped by the name HDNet Music Video ... and when you look at the list (currently 4 videos) they all have the same name, same description, and only the amount of time of them is different. I can't tell if one is Katy Perry, or the other Barton Hollow, or Deathcab4qt ... they are all "HDNet Music Video"

So I took my time, renamed the events, and DishOnline throws those names away, giving me something I can't use with DishOnline..

just like the date sort .... I became most pissed at that, because when I have 12 hours of prime time shows from two days to watch, and I can't remember which was which in order, or one is a show that started 6 years ago, while the rest all started in the past 3 to 5 years.. and they're all jumbled up.... it just pisses me off even more.. that this bug still exists, Dish refuses to acknowledge (no response to feedback from DRA) and still something so simple isn't fixed for a very long time.. and this date sort has existed in DRA since day one from what I've been told.

Neither Dish Remote Access ... or Dish Online ... has correctly replicated the DVR as we users have them and know to use them every single day that we're in front of them.. and so we are left with figuring out three different sets of ways to work with ONE piece of equipment.. f-ing frustrating is what it is..

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....

I am 1 that wants the AM to Stay ....
That said, since '08 I have had Sat radio available to me ... I think I have turned on AM 3 or 4 times, just to see if its still there.

Fwiw, if theres a Major disaster or bad weather or whatever, the chances of me finding out about it by going to the AM side of the radio is SLIM and None.
Even FM, I haven't really had on since '13ish, I may turn it on from time to time, just to see if its still there.

That goes for a lot of people. I've been advertising on radio for more than a decade now and am very familiar with this subject. While it is still a valuable tool, it has far less impact than it did just a few years ago. The best reaction I get is from a local Country music station....they play a mix of older and newer music and have a very big footprint.

No, just regular FM stations. One is the country station I mentioned and the other is a Talk Radio station which used to get fantastic results but honestly, since the death of Rush Limbaugh, talk radio just doesn't do as well. There were two guys who had an early morning show which was hugely popular here in the southeast but one of them retired a couple years ago and the show just doesn't garner the same numbers as it used to.

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.

KOQIT receivers

Hello folks, well my luck ran out last week with a nasty thunderstorm and after 39 years here, finally took a hit. Now, the FTA receivers I had for some years worked great until now. Recently picked up a fairly cheap receiver, online, KOQIT and seems to be good, but for the life of me, I cannot get the HDMI output to work with 3 of my Samsung monitors. I can hook it up to my Samsung TV and its HDMI input and it works fine. The 2 receivers I lost also worked fine with them, so am I going crazy? anyone have come across this or have any suggestions? And, since this is a somewhat cheap unit but works, what is everyone out there using for receivers these days? without breaking the bank? I enjoy watching FTA TV, so I will invest more if needed, what is a really good, detailed unit these days. I'm so use to watching a few of them HD channels. Right now I'm down to composite hookups, yuck! Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Frank :rolleyes:

Take the cover off, show me pics of the board of the bad one and also the bottom of the board. I'm an old hardware electronics tech plus a satellite dealer; I fixed a lot of FTA and regular receivers. I may be able to fix it for you. And yes, they got hit by lightning; it's best to email me the pics at diamondsatellite@snet.net or call me at 203-232-8888. I give you a 50-50 chance of fixing it; I do have spare parts. my phone is a fliptop phone

Anybody know how to add "hidden" audio channels like for 101 W Ku or 105W C band on these recvr's? I've exported the database file but don't have anything that will read or edit it.

For 105W C, you scan in the Westwood tp normally. Then select the audio channel you want. Not necessary to manually enter. On 101W, you must manually enter.

Seems like I remember that now, with my V9 I manually entered anyway on 105, easier for me to pick the channel later :)

NEED SUGGESTIONS FOR NEW FTA BOX

IS Amiko MIRA 3 any good ???
Can you recommend the best to cover all bases. NO BEEPS on certain channels 101w (NEWSMAX ,NEWS NATION), a clock that keeps working STEADY for timed recording ,solid unit with good lifespan. My Amiko died AND my Linkbox has NO Favorites Button and BEEPS on many channels. Picking up 105 west with a NEW SHED IN THE Way with 6 foot Cband ..95 percent quality ...unbelievable.

That's great!

Many people have all sorts of power bricks laying around. Provided the plug fits, and it's the right polarity and same voltage and the same OR higher amps, why not try another one IF the device you want to try it on doesn't seem to work right.

Some people just call them power supplies (which really isn't a good fit in this case), some call them "wall adapters" but it's an external power supply or AC adapter that converts (AC) from a wall outlet into low-voltage (DC) that an electronic device needs to run.

Right now on C band getting 105w, a Mexican channel with 95% quality and I am near Detroit! I'm recording a TECHNO MUSIC FESTIVAL today from Mexico ..if you can believe it.....and yes that SHED is partly in the path so I'm puzzled. There are also christian channels on 105w.

The Westwood One Mux on 105W would likely be receivable, has some good music channels on there. It does scan in, but it's more convenient to manually enter the PIDs, check out Lyngsat for the channels: EchoStar 105/SES 11 at 105.0°W - LyngSat

I use a 10 footer (only C-band dish I have), but it's very strong.
