Like I said in the prior post there is no way for a dealer who does a service call to RA or get reimbursed for a dish. We've been told in the past that dishes are not covered, LNB's of course, dishes no.

And FYI for KAB, dishes are not free, nor are they cheap, especially after adding the shipping charges.

Here's from the service plan... I do believe it's part A would apply.

3. Exclusions from Coverage: Your Plan does not cover:
A) SERVICE, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, OR REPLACEMENT DUE TO ANY LOSS RESULTING FROM USAGE OTHER THAN NORMAL USAGE AND BEYOND DISH NETWORK'S NORMAL CONTROL SUCH AS: DAMAGE DUE TO MISUSE, ABUSE,INSECT OR OTHER INFESTATION, FIRE, WATER, FOREIGN
SUBSTANCES, ORGANIC MATERIALS, WINDSTORM, HAIL, EARTHQUAKE, THEFT, TERRORISM/WAR, NEGLIGENCE, RIOT, OR ACTS OF GOD;
B) INSTALLATION AND INSTALLATION WORKMANSHIP, IF THE INSTALLATION WAS NOT PERFORMED BY DISH NETWORK, A DISH NETWORK AUTHORIZED TECHNICIAN, OR A DISH NETWORK AUTHORIZED RETAILER;
C) INSTALLATIONS NOT GROUNDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH DISH NETWORK STANDARDS;
D) RE-INSTALLATION AND/OR THE RE-CONNECTION OF YOUR PRODUCT(S), IF PRODUCT REPLACEMENT IS SHIPPED TO YOU;
E) COMMERCIAL OR INSTITUTIONAL USE WHICH IS DEFINED AS ANY USE OTHER THAN SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSEHOLD USE;
F) EXTERIOR OR COSMETIC ITEMS OF THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PAINT, FINISH, BEZEL, CORDS, CABLES, AND CONNECTORS;
G) 'ON-OPERATING COMPONENTS OF THE PRODUCT;
H) INTERNAL SOFTWARE, BATTERIES, AND COMPONENTS NOT ESSENTIAL TO BASIC PRODUCT FUNCTIONALITY;
I) ANY COMPONENT OR PRODUCT THAT HAS BEEN OPENED, TAMPERED WITH, REPAIRED, OR OTHERWISE ACCESSED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN AN AUTHORIZED DISH NETWORK SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE OR CENTER;
J) REPAIR OF PRODUCT(S) UPON NON-COMPLIANCE OF ANY PART OF SECTION 5 BY YOU;
K) COVERAGE, COMPONENTS, PRODUCTS, OR ITEMS NOT SPECIFICALLY LISTED HEREIN;
L) SERVICE OUTSIDE OF DISH NETWORK'S SERVICE AREA IN THE CONTINENTAL U.S., INCLUDING PUERTO RICO, THE VIRGIN ISLANDS AND PORTIONS OF ALASKA;
M) YOUR TELEVISION OR EQUIPMENT RELATED TO YOUR TELEVISION; OR DISH BRANDED TELEVISIONS/MONITORS;
N) INSTALLATION PARTS AND COMPONENTS NOT CURRENTLY STOCKED BY DISH NETWORK, AT DISH NETWORK'S SOLE DISCRETION;
O) NON DISH-BRANDED INSTALLATION COMPONENTS

long lasting effect for a short term problem. rate will increase much more then the cost to just replace it. look for a neighbor with an unused one or craigslist.

The dish part is fine. It is just the arm that holds the LNB (Sorry, if my terminology is off) is twisted so that I receive no signal. I have spoken to a DIRT member and have set an appointment to get it fixed. I do have the protection plan. My question is if the repairman deems the damage to be vandalism, will I be charged the full repair?

Besides the $15 for the protection plan service call the absolute most you should be charged for is a replacement dish, which isn't that bad, usually $25 to $75. If it's a DNS tech that doesn't pay for the parts or a dealer with extra dishes it will probably be no charge. If he doesn't charge you then you should probably give him a tip. :)

USA Healthcare Costs are Ridiculous

:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Pissed off at the crappy healthcare costs

My health Insurance renewal for 2027 just came in. Going from $827 a month to $1,187 a month. Deductible going up a $1k to $9,350. Max out of pocket also going up $1k to $11,000. Doctor co-pay of $40. Urgent Care co-pay $50. ER 50% coinsurance after deductible. That's all in network. Out of network is double, should it be needed.

Have to think about this. I'm really tempted to just go without now. I only go to the doctor once or twice a year. I pay out of pocket for Tirzepitide and can do without the Rosuvastatin (crestor) now. Really tired of spending over $10k a year and getting nothing out of it.

After years with Blue Cross I switched last year to Ambetter as my Blue Cross premium was going from $1200 to $1800 for a Silver plan and the Bronze plan was still going to be $1300 at BCBS. Ambetter was $827 for the same coverage with a Bronze plan. Didn't think it would jump this much so soon.

I'm guessing a Silver plan is probably over $2,000 a month for 2027.

Even sarcastically it's wrong. Undocumented immigrants already weren't eligible for federal Medicaid, so there's no one to "get off the rolls." The immigrant-related pieces are a small part of the ~$1 trillion. They cut the federal match for emergency care from 90% to the state's regular rate and end eligibility for some lawful immigrants like refugees. Most of the "savings" come from work requirements, more frequent eligibility checks, and provider tax limits, which hit citizens.

Either way, the cost doesn't disappear. It shifts to states, hospitals, and everyone else's premiums and will only serve to make issues like those raised in this thread worse.

That's only part correct. Actually I had to look it up to make sure. There is NO Federal money going to Medicaid for illegals but there ARE some states that use State money to pay for Medicaid for illegals. Here's the list

    • California: Covers all income-eligible undocumented adults. [1, 2]
    • Colorado: Covers specific adult demographics (with upcoming budget caps in 2027). [1]
    • Illinois: Covers specific adult age brackets. [1]
    • New York: Covers specific adult demographics. [1]
    • Oregon: Covers all income-eligible undocumented adults. [1, 2]
    • Washington: Covers specific adult demographics. [1, 2]
    • Washington, D.C.: Provides adult coverage through the D.C. Health Care Alliance. [1, 2]

Fair point, but it's consistent with what I said: no federal Medicaid money goes to undocumented immigrants. Those programs are state-funded, so the federal ~$1T cut can't touch them. Whatever states decide to do with their own programs is a separate budget decision.

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....

Today is the anniversary of Dan Wheldon's passing at Las Vegas in a dreadful crash that luckily didn't take more drivers' lives. I vaguely remember the crash, but I more strongly remember Paul Tracy trying to keep it together as he left the Medical Center knowing that Dan most likely wasn't going to.

The safety in these vehicles is beyond incomprehensible, especially relative to what it was 60 years ago, when dying wasn't unexpected. But it is still very dangerous. I always scoff at the prayer invocations, but never scoff at the risks these drivers take and the emergency workers out there who might need to pull short of a miracle to save a driver's life.

HBO Max has the live in car streaming without commercials, which provides an interesting take, but you are driving blind, knowing only what the team is telling the driver about what is happening on the track. The stages definitely ruin the NASCAR set up.

NASCAR is an abject mess, but at least it has Kyle Larson. Guy had the lead on the green/white checker, fell back to 12th or the like, kept his cool, and charged back to win with room to spare at the line. And win very cleanly!

NASCAR needs to stop racing at Talladega. Especially if they are going for elderly Sunday drives at the track! Stage racing is real stupid, but NASCAR should consider one half point a second per group gap as a bonus.

Hopper 3 with Hopper plus internet connection problems

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.

I have a Hopper Plus and no issues either. charlesrshell has both a Hopper 3 with Hopper Plus and one without, he doesn't have the same issue. Before blaming it on the Hopper Plus, he should see if the problem still exists without the Hopper Plus connected as it could be the Internet connection itself or some setting in the router itself. There is someone in another thread who has EHD issues on the Hopper 3 only setup but does not have the EHD issues on the Hopper 3 with Hopper Plus and he has already tried swapping the EHD and it did not make a difference so like the saying, YMMV.

The Roku costs $$$, Hopper Plus is free. That may not be the only costs as it depends if the TV in question still has available HDMI ports and if not, it will require a HDMI switch and HDMI cable which adds more to the cost.

I have a LG 3D OLED Smart TV and I still need either of them because it does not have Android TV built in. Add a Hopper Plus and see if you actually have issues or not as until you actually tried it, it means nothing.
