I never experienced this with Dish Remote Access, but since the move to Dish Online, when I record a sporting event and try to watch it later, it keeps taking me to live TV.

I chatted with Dish Online support 3 months ago, and they said it was a known issue and they were working on it.

I chatted with Dish Online support again today, and their explanation is in the transcript below:

Dish Support: That means that the providers have blocked the events so they can't be transmitted via the internet.
Dish Support: Sometimes they are available on the providers website.
Dish Support: Sometimes they are coded so they can't transmit.
me: really? that's the first i've heard of it
Dish Support: It's part of the digital security in the sporting blackouts.
me: so some sporting events i can't record on my dvr and watch through dish online?
Dish Support: Correct.
me: i see
Dish Support: It's to keep the event from being seen outside the market area.
me: one of the main reasons i got dish was to record sporting events and watch them remotely
me: i may consider leaving if that functionality isn't present
Dish Support: Dish isn't controlling it is from the providers.
me: again, i used to record shows sporting events on Dish Remote Access
Dish Support: It won't be available from any provider. It is not a Dish thing. It's part of the anti pirating software and encoding that is now being used.
me: ok
Dish Support: Some HBO content for example can't be viewed via sling. You have to log into HBOgo.com to view it.
me: i see
me: i did not know that
Dish Support: It's a similar concept and will probably become more restrictive.
me: tivo has the same restrictions?
Dish Support: Depending on the provider and the content yes.

So my question is, is this true?? It's the first I've heard of it, and it never happened to me on Dish Remote Access.

Can anyone else watch recorded sporting events through Dish Online?

As random as this may seem, when I've seen this in the past usually it's an intermittent connection issue causing it. Normally the easiest way to fix it is to get the receiver IP address from the broadband menu and add it to the DMZ list on your router and that may fix it.

Wonder if this has anything to do with my gripe about not being able to watch anything that is being recorded.

If I had these issues I would take the receivers ip address which you can find in the broadband menus and put it into the DMZ list on your router and I bet that helps. I've seen this many times and usually that fixes it because it's an intermittent connection issue even if that sounds like an unlikely cause based on behavior. It only takes a couple minutes and it's worth a shot.

I've had this problem too and I doubt it has anything to do with router configuration and more to do with Dish Online being a crap site. I have no problem playing back any recording events with the DRA iOS app, or with the previous DRA site I've been blocked from using since Dish changed their website (yes, I know somehow some of you can still access it, but some of us can't). Other recordings play fine, and live sports events play fine, but recorded sports events or recorded events from channels on free preview refuse to play via DO (but play fine on the iOS app).

That, in addition to the loss of core functionality in DO compared to DRA like only being able to start a recording at the beginning instead of where you left off has me just this close to trying a standalone Slingbox or a competing product like a Vulkano Flow where I'm not tethered to the flaky DO website.

I'm pretty sure the resume function is something coming in the future. I agree that dol.com has been less than perfect but it works for the majority of people who use it including myself. I see all the negative feedback about it,but what we don't see is all the users it works for. It has also been getting some updates over the recent past that has made it much more stable in my opinion.

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'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.
