Update:
After having H2H back for a month now I have to say that I'm no longer happy with both the service and programming. I'm thinking twice about renewing when my subscription runs out on February 26. I might just raise the white flag and call it quits for H2H.
As I flip through the channels within the Digital Basic Package I find nothing but reruns, reality shows and programming that can be found elsewhere. My wife and daughter still refuse to use it and when you add that the service uses an outdated receiver, displays only SD, guide is 30 minutes behind, channels left (TV Land and GMC), no additional channels are becoming available and prices of the packages are increasing it just isn't worth it anymore.
If anyone is interested in a working Motorola DSR-410 receiver there just might be one advertised within the classifieds section on February 27th.
I can then use the 6' dish to receive AMC 1 or Galaxy 16 C band to gain acess to plenty of free ITC channels, some of which are available in HD. The money I receive for my DSR-410 receiver could be used to purchase a new MicroHD receiver from Satellite AV next month.

I might be in Monroeville this weekend so I possibly could stop in and watch H2H with you! On a more serious note, I might be interested in the 410 for my father in law. If I wait for the classified I might not have a chance at it because of a possible PM issue! I have PM'd you many times in the last few months on different things and I never heard back from you! Am I on your "do not call" list???

So what is the verdict on the 410 and 4DTV for you?
My subscription ended this past Monday and I'm raising the white flag on H2H. Once again my wife and daughter never touched it and even when I sat down to watch I found that I quickly turned it off in favor of FTA, OTA and Dish's Welcome Package due to lack of channels and decent programming. I'll probably place the receiver within the Satellite Guys classifieds this weekend if I get time.
Now since I have a 6' C band dish free, I'm thinking about installing an additional C band LNBF this weekend and trying to receive both Galaxy 17 and Galaxy 16 at 8 degrees apart. This would allow me to still receive the DMX music channels in addition to KRBK FOX HD, Global Digital Media feeds, NBC Casper, EScapes, My Family TV, Puerto Rico Networks, Pentagon, World Harvest Channels (Green Acres), Live Well Network, CW Networks, Reelz HD, EWTN Networks, BYU TV HD, Classic Arts Showcase and other channels using a modern OpenBox S9 HD receiver with DVR for a cost of $0 a month. The money I get for the DSR-410 receiver can go towards pizza and beer.

Hey Popcorn,
Did you read this from post 189?

Sorry, I didn't even see that. I'll hang onto the receiver for a few weeks until I make a definite decision. I'll still adjust the dish away from AMC18 this weekend and place the DSR-410 receiver in a box. I guess I keep on hoping for some good news about HITS and might need the receiver again someday, but I know that isn't going to happen.
I received your PMs and thank you. I just haven't had a chance to reply with so much going on in my life right now.

For the naysayers who did not think this service would make it, just added another 4.9M subscribers and that was after the removal of 1.2M Russia subscribers.
This is even better, Paramount+ revenue grew 120% and Subscription revenue grew 74% year-over-year ( 2nd quarter 2021/ 2nd quarter 2022) to $830M, principally reflecting paid subscriber growth on Paramount+.
Now compare that to Peacock with only 13 million paid, 13 million free.

So, this means that those of us with Commercial Free subs, won't be Commercial Free, unless we wait till after the show is over ?
Which would make same day, not that big of a deal.
Paramount+ has always had the CBS shows on the CBS local channel and yes with commercials. What they are doing now is releasing the OnDemand versions of the show which I believe they don't release until after the shows air on the west coast. And they will be commercial free if you subscribe to the ad free version of Paramount+.So, this means that those of us with Commercial Free subs, won't be Commercial Free, unless we wait till after the show is over ?

The new curated multiview is now live.
While on many of the sports channels and non sports channels there is a multi view option button. It will pull up a side bar with many different multi view options.

To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.
For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

Several Dish offers showed up today in my account. Once you choose one the rest are removed. Offers were Showtime, Starz, AMC and others.

Not for me, mines has no mention of how long aka the offer period and the Terms and conditions the $0.00 is good for. All I see is one can lose $5.00 if you decide to remove it before day 31 after you add it to the account.

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....

Help, I'm a little confjused on the activation process.
I purchased the Joey 4 from Solid Signal and shipping box has Call 866 726-4282 to Avtivate new Receiver. That number is Solid Signals number.
I googled and that search said call Dish to activate. I assume that is correct unless this requires a 2 step process.
Please let me know.
Thanks
