I am betting that if the networks gave the satellite companies a few minutes each hour to air their own commercials then we wouldn't have this commercial skipping technology on our DVR's.

If the networks would give DISH or DIRECTV 3 minutes per hour to insert their own commercials then none of this would be happening. Just like they do for their cable networks.

I didn't know that. Unequal treatment. Maybe that will come up in court, too.

I am not making anything up, please learn to read.

To clarify... what is the big reason why they are not using AutoHop on ALL the channels DISH carries?

The big reason is all the cable networks give DISH, DIRECTV and Cable Companies a few minutes an hour to insert their own commercials to their viewers. DISH and the other companies can (and do) sell this ad time to other companies and they make some big bucks selling this ad time. Any extra time they have left unsold they can stick in ads for DISH PPV or other DISH ads.

Now with the Big 4 Networks DISH and the other companies get ZERO AD TIME to insert their own ads. What I was saying is imagine if the Big 4 gave them 3 minutes an hour to insert their own ads. My feeling is if they did this there would be no auto hop because DISH (or no other company) wants to harm its own ad revenue.

And that's what I was trying to say.

Same logic dish is using. In ny, the customer is renting a remote storage device and controls it.

With dish, the customer has the complete recording with ads and must physically choose to skip the ad.

And, individuals have the right for a single use of copyright material for their personal use (no sharing with 3rd parties).

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....

New report states 29% of vehicles being traded in are under water

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. :eek

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.

I'm pretty sure the most you can get is seven.

What America can't afford is the payments on $80,000+ pickups and SUVs and $40,000+ crossovers.

$6.3 billion in crypto stolen by hackers

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.

The company later added it began recovering assets impacted by the breach after pledging to cover losses using its Secure Asset Fund for Users.

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.

Might be worth just to ditch the hopper plus. No issues here on h713

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
