so i just got three DVRs...one is 922k and other two are 722k..Since i already have slingbox built in 922k, dish guy told me that i'm not allow to use slingbox classic(i already have it) or sling adapter on 722k because it's illegal. if i use slingbox classic, dish network will find out easily..is that true, guys?? :confused: i have big family so some of us need to watch tv via slingbox...please help! thanks!

yea thats what i thought....i asked him how can dish network find out if i'm using sling adapter for 722k and he said they will find out because of internet IP address....so i didn't like the idea that dish network "snooping" my dvr even though adding sling adapter is legal....is that true??

Of course... they would see your home's IP address... its the SINGULAR IP ADDRESS THE ISP GIVES YOU.. LOL !!!

so Dish could see you coming at them 3 4 or 50 times.. it wouldn't make a difference.

Now .... Caveat Emptor ... When you use Dish Remote Access or Dish Online, or the Android app (and presume its the same for the iphone) the last connected Sling (922/722 with adapter) device, will be the one defaulted to, for the next login.

You & Jr. mess with the sling stuffs.. you exit, Jr. doesn't ... when JR. goes to look at something on his DVR, he made sure the top left showed *his* DVR (if not the user for tuner 2 on your box)... the next time *you* log in, what ever the last DVR was selected by Jr. is the DVR you'll be presented with first.

Keep in mind they don't play well with upload speed .... and your home router can be taxed by someone playing a Multiplayer game, as well as the other upload users.

The only reason Dish knows when you're using a sling adapter on your 722 is because the receiver is designed to acknowledge it and your receiver reports back to Dish's servers that it has a sling adapter connected when it phone's home. The reason that's good is because then your dish.com account will know it's connected and let you access those features. Call center techs can also see it's connected for troubleshooting purposes.

In order for a receiver to detect a sling classic, it would have to be snooping on your network traffic and be looking for that. It may violate Dish's contracts with their content providers for you to use a sling classic on some technical level, so a Dish employee isn't going to encourage that. Also if that Dish employee can get you to buy another 922, then that'll help their 401k, ya know?

well actually, i have two different ISPs at my home....one is DSL(work) and other is cable....so, would that cause problem if each sling has different IP addresses??

No.

If one is connected to the work network and the other is connected to the home network, there would be a reason for the audit team to call on this one....

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!!!
