So what does it do when you try to scan? Just not find anything, or doesn't it run at all?

Can you input channels manually? The reason I'm wondering is, I've got a media player with a Realtek chip that's a few years older than the one in this new box, and it plays 4:2:2.
SatelliteAV
Tested the 9003 and the 9008 yesterday and don't have to much good to report.

The 9003 has one of the worst picture quality with SD channels. Confirmed no 4:2:2. Very few North American satellites and VERY old names (97w is named Galaxy 25. DiSEqC Motor control moves dish the wrong direction (yes, I have it set up correctly with location west longitude and north latitude). No LO 10750. Defaults to PAL format. No Signal Level reading, only Signal Quality meter. 24 hour time mode. Single page manual. Don't think that anyone tested this STB before importing and selling. I would never recommend to anyone with present operation.

The 9008 has no motor control (USALS or DiSEqC 1.2). Only select 32 fixed satellites by DiSEqC switches. Cannot play YouTube. Web browser cannot navigate (only shows index page) IPTV has several low resolution channels that have bad decoding issues and buffering. The movie selection has 54 titles with very poor quality and buffering. Blind Scan isn't working. Major microblocking on satellite channels with movement and scene changes. Much aliasing on standard definition programming. No 4:2:2 on satellite channels. Nice hardware build. Easy to connect to WiFi. Upnp for sharing files on LAN.

Nice review I think I have a better one and only need to use one word.

"JUNK" in my opinion.

I'm trying to be nice and not look like a total jerk.

Update: quoting from email reply "We will update the software. But it will take some time." So I give them props for telling the truth that it will take some time and not just saying soon. Looking forward to when I can blow the dust off it and load a new firmware.

Until then its still junk sitting in my trunk LOL!!!

I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

I'm not a big fan of the new layout, especially on my Apple TV. It used to look like the old Guide layout on the Hopper 3, but they changed parts of that, too.

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.

At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

Meh. The 4Ks I have will do everything that these do that I need them to do.


Which that's most tech these days for anything released the last four to five years.


It's honestly a testament to how good the previous gen Apple TVs were and are.

Don't tell them that. They'll adopt planned obsolescence.

Not a bit. IMO, Apple's are slow to boot up. Time is about the same with 1st gen and 3rd. Roku runs rings around them in that department. I only reason I stuck, is the Apple infrastructure, which has it's definite advantages. But $300 is a deal breaker. Later, Apple!

they all do that anyways.. ever notice your cell phone slows down when you come up for an upgrade.. :what. apple's been making money off of software and not hardware for a while

No. Makes me wonder if that is Apple or the carrier. I am on pre-paid, so I never get "an upgrade." I still have my old iPhone 11 Pro as a second line, and it runs iOS 27 just fine. My iPhone Air, which is still a current model, doesn't really seem that much faster in regular use. It is better in other ways, and worse in some ways than the 11 Pro (size), but performance really isn't a big differentiator, especially since I replaced the battery in the 11 Pro. If I had gotten enough storage when I originally bought the 11 Pro, it could still be my primary device with no issues.

Yeah, they boot up a bit slower than Roku, but the OS does a lot more, so it makes sense. How often are you booting them up that is a differentiator? Aside from OS updates, mine are on all the time. I will say the ATV4K is generally quicker than the Roku Ultras I have, when it comes to launching apps and responsiveness, not that the Roku is sluggish.

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?

No. Bring in someone new.🤔 Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.

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.

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.

If you're going try to read / listen to the book (can't recommend the audio book enough) before this comes out, I'd avoid trailers.

Trailer below, spoiling it to make sure you read the above bold message first. The book / audio book are fantastic. Go into this blind if you can IMO!




Kind of disappointed at how much they show. A lot still to see, but man, some good reveals in the book that are just served up here.

.........there's so much more in the book than the movie.
I agree. That can go for pretty much any book vs movie. Back when I was single I would read any Stephen King or John Grisham book I could get my hands on. When you read a book you make up the scenes and characters in your mind.....the movie version always disappoints.
