HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
Hard to believe it but 2012 is almost over already! Where did the year go? We are glad that you have spent part of your year with us here at SatelliteGuys!
I wanted to take a moment to let you know about some changes that are coming to SatelliteGuys as well as some upcoming events and promotions that we are sure you will want to be part of.
Before I go any further, I want to thank everyone who has ordered a SatelliteGuys T-Shirt or Polo Shirt from our new Online Store! We will be placing our order on Monday so if you want the best prices order now! We have more SatelliteGuys branded merchandise coming as well, including a SatelliteGuys Travel Mug and SatelliteGuys Mouse Pads. To check out the store just visit http://store.satelliteguys.us.
This weekend we will be doing some cleanup of our forums, a number of forums will be eliminated from our lineup due to lack of activity these forums will be merged with other like forums.
Forums scheduled to be removed / merged into other forums include:
DISH Technical Discussions ==> The DISH Forum
DISH VIP 922 Support Forum ==> The DISH Forum
DIRECTV Technical Discussions ==> The DIRECTV Forum
Viral Videos ==> The Chit Chat Club
Now Playing ==> The Chit Chat Club
Ham Radio ==> Computer & Electronics Zone
All messages in the above forums will be moved into the respective forums listed above. Some of these moves will make it easier for people to find the help they need, in addition it will help prevent duplicate posts on the same issue.
With these changes I will be looking to make some staff changes going forward, some of the changes will be so that one person does not have the entire weight of taking care of their assigned forum(s) on their shoulders, plus I may be looking for new staff to jump in how can help keep people talking here at SatelliteGuys. I will be looking for people who not only start a lot of discussion but appear to enjoy helping others. Please do not PM to apply at this time, instead I will be asking the current staff for their feedback and ideas, and also I have a few candidates in mind myself.
We have a few special things coming up that I would like to share with you.
On November 1st – November 7th we will be running a special SatelliteGuys Pub Membership drive with a portion to benefit the kids of the Make-A-Wish Foundation! We did this promotion a few years ago and managed to raise $3,000 for the kids of St. Jude Children's Hospital!
I decided on the Make-A-Wish foundation this year as our charity fortunate enough (thanks in part to DISH Network) to work with kids and interface with those who life has dealt them a bad hand. Make-A-Wish is a charity that makes the wishes of terminally ill children come true. This year I learned that nothing made me happier or touched me more emotionally then making kids smile. And that is what Make-A-Wish does it makes sick kids smile. I also had two occasions this year to work with Make-A-Wish kids and each time got to me emotionally, after these touching gratifying moments I have no doubt in my mind this is the charity that SatelliteGuys should support this year.
Here is the way it will work. From November 1st to November 7th for every ONE YEAR $19.99 Pub Membership we get $10.00 of that Pub Membership will be donated to Make-A-Wish! For those who opt for a TWO YEAR $39.98 Pub Membership, SatelliteGuys will donate $20.00 from that membership to Make-A-Wish! Anyone who wishes to renew their Pub Membership during this period who's Pub Membership has not expired yet may do so as well and the time you renew for will be added to your existing pub membership.
As in the past we will publicly keep track of each new Pub Membership by posting the FIRST NAME and FIRST LETTER of their LAST NAME and the amount of their Pub Membership in a running total thread in the operations center. Let's see if we can raise more than $3,000 this year and make some sick kids smile!
On November 12th – November 16th we will be accepting member nominations for the "SatelliteGuys Best of 2012 Award!" After nominations are complete SatelliteGuys Pub Members will be asked to pick the top 5 nominees from all the entries submitted. On November 21st the Top 5 Nominees selected will then be made public for all members to vote for the "SatelliteGuys Best of 2012 Award" winner! Voting will be open until November 30th. The company that wins the award will be presented the award at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas!
Then join us in December as we do up the holidays like no one else, and we understand that Santa has already started shopping for some amazing SatelliteGuys Holiday Giveaways! If you have been involved with any of our Holiday Giveaways you will know we give away some great prizes! (And unlike other sites we actually give away the prizes!)
That's all coming up here to SatelliteGuys! Please if you have friends who you think would enjoy our site please let them know about us!

I created this thread on the original Edgecutter Cutting Edge Forums site. It's simply a place for those to review the latest software available for those using Windows 10 and Windows 11. To date it has received 112,559 views. I have been asked by staff to continue this thread here.

To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.
As I said above, and, FWIW, I run Win11 Pro and Arch on separate 250 GB NVME drives, using F8 to select which I boot to, with a 1TB SSD for storage, accessible to both OSs and a third formatted Nvme I want to use to learn Kali. It was much faster to setup Arch than it was to strip down Windows. Windows still takes much longer to boot.
For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

Help, I'm a little confjused on the activation process.
I purchased the Joey 4 from Solid Signal and shipping box has Call 866 726-4282 to Avtivate new Receiver. That number is Solid Signals number.
I googled and that search said call Dish to activate. I assume that is correct unless this requires a 2 step process.
Please let me know.
Thanks

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…

The new curated multiview is now live.
While on many of the sports channels and non sports channels there is a multi view option button. It will pull up a side bar with many different multi view options.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.
I went into the Tools menu and requested a Guide Update. I'll try looking at it after the update completes.
edit — I now have the 148-01 4KFox events for Saturday, but not anything for 148-02 or 148-03 which don't even show as available channels. I do have 148-04 4KUSA.
As I recall you have the Flex package. Do you sub to multisport? -02 is FS1 and -03 is ESPN. -01 is Fox so you would get that if you sub to locals.Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.

On Tuesday, I recorded the first episodes of the new season's NCIS shows on CBS (Dish provided, not OTA). The new New York series and Origins will both do Auto Skip, but the original, now season 24 does not. What's stranger, when I do a search for NCIS, Origins and New York show the current recording and the next episode it will record, but the original show only shows the current recording and some other channel showing the very first episode of season one. It makes no sense. When I set up the timers, I was able to use search for Origins and New York, but for the original, I had to scroll ahead in the guide until last Tuesday when the show was airing. Then set the timer from there. You can see its timer type is DVR where the other two are Seek. What am I missing?
Thanks!
Thanks!
