Hopper and Tailgater

I am interested in upgrading to a 2 Hopper 2 Joey System. I current have a 722k and 3 211k and a tailgater. The tailgater I only use from Aug-Nov for college football season. I understand I have to have an additional account for the 211k. I am curious what my best options are for that account. I asked on the dish chat about putting that account into a hold for the months I don't use it. They indicated that Dish Pause allows you to do that but only for 6 months at a time and only 1 time in a rolling 12 month period. I wonder if anyone else knows of a good option for me. I really wish they would let folks with a tailgater have 1 211k on their Hopper / Joey account. I understand the are trying to prevent account stacking but if you can prove you have a tailgater, then you should be allowed a 211k on the same account.

If you own the 211K, then Subscribe to the Pay-As-You-Go plane where you only have to pay for the time you use the service. It is a second subscription but it is a lot less when you only pay for the days you are camping.

Hopper requires specific wiring with DPP equipment, don't think the Tailgater would work correctly.

The Tailgater needs 211K software to operate. No other receiver has that function.

AMEN, BROTHER!

This is an obvious smart thing to do. MAYBE Dish will come around. Until then, certainly the pay as you go idea is a winner. H/J at home, and an owned ViP211 series with Tailgater antenna for the road.

Can someone explain this "pay as you go" plan? On Dish's site, it doesn't really say much, other than "you pay only for the months you use. When the season is over, simply stop your service without penalty". How is this different than a regular, non-contract account? I'd be more interested in paying by the week rather than month - I only tailgate 6 or 7 times during football season (during home games here).

You buy and own the equipment in pay as you go. I am out of contract with leased equipment.

All DMA's now Western Arc

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

Even if you are broadcasting old SD-only shows, I would think advertisers would still want their commercials to look good.

Advertisers on SD channels are probably Far and Few, very hard to find, they have very few viewers to watch them.

I watch mostly SD channels (H&I, Start and ION, etc.). There are plenty of advertisers, this time of the year it is mostly Medicare Advantage plans, auto extended warranties and the occasional walk-in-tub. They know who is watching.

Because he didn't have a fleet of reusable rockets. Starlink works because SpaceX is able to launch hundreds (thousands?) of their Starlink satellites for what a single geostationary Internet satellite costs to build and launch on a disposable launcher.

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....

Also watched part 2 about a week or so ago after rewatching part 1. It's not as faithful to the book as I was hoping for. Part 1 stayed fairly faithful to the novel, but part 2 took some liberties that I felt were rather excessively non-novel. It looks like a prequel series will happen before part 3. My issue is: there's no prequel that was written as a novel, so what will it be pulled from? Or will it just be "based loosely" on the novel?

There is a bunch of other Dune written by Kevin J Anderson and Brian Herbert (Franks son). I think the series in production is taken from one of their books about the Bene Gesserit.

Correct. I've read all of them (yes, it took awhile, better part of a year, in my spare time). And they can't really consider or classify a series about the Bene Gesserit as a prequel. Sure, I suppose they can call it that, if they want to, because it begins before the time of Paul Atredies, but it's still a stretch. It's a Dune-related novel, not a prequel as we generally think of prequels...

Well, it looks good! I just hope they stayed close to the trilogy, but it doesn't look like it.
