I guess there's no real solution, but another freeview for everyone but those who pay for the most programming.... :(

I guess it's reward enough just to be a Dish subscriber.

I've enjoyed the Bond marathon... I wish however that they'd have shown them in FULL widescreen.
I won't subscribe to movie channels that hack the picture to fit the screen. I don't understand why they do this. Perhaps in the Bond case, to sell the blu-ray set's to people that want to see the WHOLE movie... lol..

If the channel is HD, shouldn't it fit a full-widescreen HDTV without being hacked?

Yes, it should... just to clarify.. if the original film format is full widescreen, it will have black bars on the top and bottom on a HDTV. I realize some dislike the black bars. HDNET doesn't hack most movies... Encore shows some true format as well... for those who hate the black bars there is a zoom button.

They never play From Russia With Love. That's up there with Octopussy, Dr. No, Moonraker, and Goldfinger. Roger Moore is still the best James Bond in my opinion.

Back on topic, why wasn't Retroplex included?

From Russia With Love just aired last night, Friday, on Encores Bond marathon

That why after a very brief upgrade to the 250 pack, I went back to the 200 pack. Personally, I hate having to watch movies on a HDTV when they are only in SD. It's not that the SD looks that terrible, it's just the point that I paid good money for a nice HDTV any everything does look better in HD, along with the sound quality. I rather rent the movie on Blu-ray from Blockbuster by mail, then watch a SD version of it.

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....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

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.

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!!!
