DISH Enhances Its International IPTV Services

DISH Enhances Its International IPTV Services

ENGLEWOOD, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 08/28/12 -- DISH (NASDAQ: DISH)

• DISHWorld's live international content now viewable via Macs, PCs
• Family View allows up to three devices per account at the same time
• New channels added in Arabic, Brazilian, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu
• Free two-week trial available to new customers

DISH (NASDAQ: DISH), one of the nation's leading pay-TV providers, has improved the DISHWorld IPTV experience by expanding content to computers through a new application, improving its viewing flexibility and by debuting new programming. Launched in May, DISH's over-the-top IPTV international channel service was initially available only on the Roku platform.

"We've made significant enhancements that expand consumer choice and control, and we expect customers to be particularly pleased with Mac and PC access to DISHWorld content," said Chris Kuelling, vice president of International Programming at DISH. "Subscribers simply go to the DISHWorld IPTV website, create an account and download an application to watch their favorite international programming on their computers."

In addition to the increased accessibility, DISHWorld launched Family View, a feature that allows customers to watch content on up to three devices at the same time, without the need for multiple accounts.

"For each account, a customer can add up to two additional devices, including the newly-launched Mac or PC app, for a monthly fee of $10 per device," said Kuelling. "Now family members can view what they want, when they want -- mom can watch a news program and dad can watch sports, while the kids watch cartoons on the computer."

Expanding its existing content to a total of 72 channels in seven languages, DISHWorld introduced 20 new, live channels:

Arabic: Al Hayah 1, Al Hayah Cinema
Brazilian: Record TV
Tamil: Adithya, Kalaignar, KTV, Jaya Max, Jaya Plus, Jaya TV, Sirippoli, SUN Music, SUN TV, Vijay International
Telugu: Gemini Comedy, Gemini Movies, Gemini TV, Maa TV, TV5 News, TV9 Telugu, Zee Telugu (coming soon)
Urdu: QTV

A free two-week trial is currently available to new customers on any compatible device. The preview allows customers to sample an a la carte channel, a programming package or the Family View feature.
For more information or to subscribe to DISHWorld, call 1-877-811-4788, visit www.dishworldiptv.com or access the Roku Channel Store on any Roku 2 streaming player. Programming packages start as low as $14.99 per month. No upfront cost, minimum term, social security number, credit check or DISH satellite subscription is required. Foreign language content providers interested in launching on DISHWorld should email ottpartner@dish.com.

I don't see this as the same, nor does it compare to the structure of Satellite service. My reading is wherever three people are all can watch what they want. Of course if you wanted to watch the same content it would be free anywhere with a Slingbox. If a family were to watch alot of content, I 'm not seeing how $10 to watch wherever you are and whatever you want is that out of line.

You don't think $30 for the Sling mobile app is a lot for a mobile app, either.

Those are some of the hardest to get reliably otherwise. And it's a new service I have to think given time much more will be added. DustoMan has it right.

There are many businessmen who own their own business, and have their native programming on at work. $10 bucks more to be able to that while someone at home is also watching is just not out of line. As I also mentioned this is not satellite, some of you are not getting what this is or what it means to some. This could be the only programming they get, or perhaps get only limited other programming traditionally from Cable or satellite.

If I switch from Dish to DirecTV, I would use this service to get the international channels I now get from Dish via satellite.

He's referring to what I am - the Slingbox mobile app that does far more than the adapter does.

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....

Laptop Shutting Off When On Battery?

Lately my eight year old Dell laptop has been shutting off even when I have a full battery. I have had to keep it plugged up all the time to keep this from happening. Any idea what is causing this? I replaced the battery about three years ago.

A recalibration might be needed. Even if it shows full, the individual cells may have become unbalaced. And the BMS chip in the battery reports false information to the pc.
Try this. Start it up in the bios/uefi and leave it there until the battery dies and it shuts off.
It might just keep running longer than in Windows. Or run for a short while and shut off.
If it's the first case. Probably just needs a balancing. If the latter, the pack might just be dead.
Not throwing stones but perhaps just a cheaply constructed battery with substandard cells. Could be.

Patience. Keep restarting it in bios/uefi until it won't fire up anymore.
Then plug the charger in and let it complete a full charge. And see what happens. If it's better.
Do the same thing one more time. Run it until it dies dead-dead. Then just let it charge, pc shut off.
When charged, it might be better. It might not be.

There are bench jigs that read the actual BMS and override it to let a tech manually monitor and charge the separate packs. They can also reset any "time bombs" in it that cause an otherwise good pack to show bad.
Maybe Santa will be good to me some year.

You might just need a new battery. Maybe the PC power management chip is going. A Dell common thing.
Leaving a laptop plugged in with a full battery is known to reduce the life. Asus for one recommends that you don't leave the charger plugged in all of the time even when shut down. And setting Windows to charge the battery to 85% instead of 100% increases life.
That's all I got.

Starlink Router question

I set up a music server for my brother a few years ago. It's basically a small headless computer but it needs to have a DHCP IP address reserved for it in the router settings. This was easy to do in his DSL router. He's switching to Starlink now and I was wondering if these setting are easily accessible in the Starlink router. I'm pretty sure he will be getting the latest V5 router.

If you can't get into the router to reserve an IP address just don't use DHCP on the device that needs connected and assign it to a specific IP address in the network settings.

They are not. Your best bet is to set up a third-party router, attached to the Starlink for your server, that you can get into, like a Linksys, etc

The Starlink V5 Install Kit I just got comes with the Mini Router. It is pretty limited in what it can do. For example, it can provide only one IP subnet at a time, no Guest Network, but it does support the pass-thru to a third-party Router. You can also split the Wi-Fi into separate 5 GHz & 2.4 GHz SSIDs to help some IoT devices that don't support 5 GHz bands to work.

The larger Starlink Router that still comes with the V4 Kit does support a Guest Network with separate IPv4 Subnet, but it's $120 from Starlink. And it still won't do DHCP Reservations.

If you can restrict the DHCP address space to assign addresses to one end of the subnet (i.e. x.x.x.50+), you can manually assign the IP address on pretty much any operating system. This is a default behavior on several popular routers. As the Router Mini only supports 235 devices, I expect that's already done.

Another option is to use a router that supports PoE to power the antenna. This article discusses that option (under PoE Power heading):

Now that I've had the v5 kit with the Mini Router, it's not as bad as I first thought. Yes, no DHCP reservations, but you can set up multiple SSIDs that have separate IPv4 subnets, and like the big brother, you can select from 192.168.x.0/24 or 10.x.0.0/16 (where "x" is 1-4).

You can also split a subnet and have different SSIDs for the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz channels to handle some IoT devices. I haven't discovered what subnet the 2nd NIC on the router assigns, I'm guessing it's the first subnet.

At least 64 dead in Spanish passenger train collision

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.
