2H/0J How did you do it- or fail trying?

Since this is of interest to many of us, I thought I'd put up a thread on it. I've seen a few comments on it here and there, but perhaps we can put this information in one spot.

Did you successfully get (or end up with) a 2 Hopper and 0 Joey setup? If so, how? Or did you try something that did not work? Please share that experience, too.

Worst comes to worst, could have installer activate the unneeded Joeys, and the Hoppers you want, then, next day call Dish (or PM DIRT) and tell them you don't need the Joeys. Wouldn't that work?

That sounds like the most likely way to end up with 2 hopper and no Joey's. And I actually see no reason the tech can't just have them deactivated and RA them himself the same day. After the work order is closed its in there, no need to wait a day. You save shipping costs this way.

But I can't see dish allowing this to happen for too long if it starts, because then they're just losing money cause the Joey's get remanufactured when they're RA'd.

I know I was told by Dish that I can return my extra Joey at any point (which would leave me with 3H/1J) and if I needed it back it would be free, other than the monthly fees, of course.

Its free because they expect you to sign a new 2 year agreement.

Well tomorrow I'm getting a 2nd hopper installed. The guy from the loyalty department honored the 100.00 price on dish chat that I was quoted for. He also noted that I was getting a 2nd hopper installed. He said theres a way around it with getting another hopper and having no Joeys but it can be done. I asked 3 times to assure he was stating correct info. He will be here between 12-5 tomorrow and if he has to call customer service about it, I have the guys name I spoke with and the operator Id so they can reference the conversation as proof. A 2nd hopper is needed for more tuners really. We record a lot of tv and it's frustrating when you turn on the tv and can't watch live tv because all tuners are being used. I'll let you all know how it goes tomorrow.

Success !!!! I now have 2 hoppers on my account without any joeys. Installer made a phone call to customer service to have the work order modified and he took the other Joey back. Best advice is talk to someone in the loyalty department that you can get to notate your account to say you're getting a 2nd hopper and the Joey is being taken out. Otherwise it will have a tougher time getting approved. I didn't go through a local dealer either.

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.

Believe it or not, 8 yrs...96 mon is starting to become common.

What I can't believe is the interest rates they are charging now. I've got a high credit score and when recently at a Ford dealership I inquired about what the rates were for new vehicles and he said 6.9%. Yikes.

$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.

Hackers steal $6.3 billion from Binance in biggest-ever cryptocurrency theft

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

The "Secure Asset Fund" had about $1 billion in reserves... in Bitcoin.

The fund started in 2018, so it may take a while to make investors whole, much less replenish the fund.

That's kinda what I was seeing but all the news reports are suggesting that all investors will be made whole immediately.
The other thing they weren't clear about was the BTC that was "locked out" of the system. I guess that means that the stolen BTC is basically worthless now because I don't see how it could be replaced....but there is a LOT about the crypto world that leaves me scratching my head.

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....

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.

I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...

Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)

Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.

Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.

It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

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!!!
