So, Dish has given, and given and given...and only 4 people here thus far have reported to have taken advantage of the intended purpose? Not the least bit surprising. Well, then again, maybe BB is not the "hit" AMC claims. Either way, seems to me lot's of people have received new toys that will probably never be used as Dish intended. Now, when Walking Dead comes back (which is why I asked for it) things might change...but I doubt it.

I would think part of the problem was the fact that it was well known that AMC was offering the premier of BB for free on the internet. I watched the free version on my iPad, but I will be using the Roku from now on. Why should I pay even $1.99 when it was offered for free this one time.
(Plus my Roku wasn't set up yet do to one certain reason that I don't want to go into again.)

Let's see how it goes next week when you'll have to stream BB to see it.

I agree, the online streaming played a factor. In addition, the show can now be watched anytime so there is no rush. Also, netflix now has the first 4 seasons so you can catch up before spending the dough for one episode. Overall I think people will use it to watch the amc programs eventually, but with so much it can do it's easy to get distracted. :-)

While I did get a one time $30 credit, I didn't get a Roku player because I already have one, plus two other streaming devices. I watched the free stream that AMC offered and I'll be purchasing the following episodes when they're available. So, no I don't feel bad about it. And I wouldn't feel bad about it even if I received a free Roku plus the $10/12 deal. I'll be spending that money I didn't spend with Dish with Amazon, soon enough. I'm sure plenty of others did the same thing I did. To be honest, it still doesn't make sense to encourage your customers to use another service, but we've already gone through that.

I, personally, am waiting for "Hell On Wheels" and "Walking Dead". Pretty expensive just watching the two shows..

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!!!
