My Dish 500 system problem is a simple one but I am not sure why this is happening. If we loose the signal due to rain or a technical issue with the bird, my receiver drops one of the two pix of the dual tuner when the signal is restored. Sometimes the main TV is affected and sometimes the bedroom TV is affected. If we pull the power plug or hit the reset button, both pix return after the receiver reboots. When the problem occurs, we can operate the remote and see the menu and guide and even see the banner of the channel we are on. Just not getting the picture even though the other TV has a pix and is OK. We have run the check switch and checked dish alignment but not able to restore the pix until the hard reset is done.
We have inquired with the CSRs but not able to get anywhere. We pay for the maintenance but the techs want to charge to come in and look at it. We are ready to drop DISH because this issue interrupts viewing of both TVs during the rain fade and then another 8 to 10 minutes of rebooting.

We checked out the signals and the results are 119 TP 14-21 are 80 to 90 and 110 TP 14-21 are 75 to 80. Mind you these signals are kind of bouncing around. Some of the other TP's were down to 60 on both 110 and 119.
So after a few more calls to CS we were able to convey the fact that we are still pushing the reset button more frequently and the CSR scheduled a service call. The tech found the wire to be the problem, not the receiver. He spent about an hour replacing a section of wiring that the tech said "should not have been installed that way" and simulated an interruption of signal after the repair to show that both TV's returned with a pix. They also installed a phone reporting system that tells the home office when trouble happens. They said we should expect a call if anything goes wrong. No repair charge to keep a customer happy. Signals are now over 100. Working like a champ until the next big rain storm. Thanks again to the people of this forum and the Satellite Guys for the great communication. I have found the forum very helpful and entertaining.
Nothing is free except a hard time.

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....

Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

This should hit a lot of folks with a dose of reality. I can only imagine how much more common this will get as AI progresses.
I read several stories on this and most are clear as mud. They say a lot of the stolen bitcoin has been "locked out" and that everyone will be made financially whole. I guess time will tell if either of these statements are actually true.

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?
