My Joey 4 is installed on a bedroom tv.
The diamond buttons had been reset.
I thought this was unusual.
I had to reprogram the double diamond button for PIP which I watch.
No problem.
PIP feature on the Joey 4 had been used to watch two channels at once which I thought was the limitation being only two channels vs.Hopper 3's multi-view four channels.
This time when I selected the PIP feature I noticed an option for Multi-View?
Could this be?
Yes it could.
This software update does this.
Multi-view PIP (4 channels) Is Now Available on Joey 4.
This is freaking awesome and very surprising!!!
Very wonderful for me.

Received this e-mail 3 days ago... At the bottom, it says limited to one Multi-view session per household. How does it work if someone had Hopper 3, Hopper 3 with Hopper Plus, Wired Joey 4 and a Wireless Joey 4 for example? Can they all do Multi-view session at the same time?

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....

I'm still experimenting with OTA antennas at my new apartment. The mudflap works OK, but we had a dust/wind/rain storm the other day and it all but blew it away. I moved it indoors where the antenna is safer but the signals are marginal.
I bought a traditional Yagi antenna from Amazon and it seems to work more consistently, plus it's meant for outdoors where the mudflap is not.
Anyway, I've had success using umbrella bases paired with a fence post for satellite dishes, and I figured that could work for this as well. I'm just not sure where or what to get and what size pole for this application.

I'm pretty sure this is what I used. Dang, the prices sure have gone up. I think I paid $8 15 years ago.

I suppose PVC would probably work also?

EchoStar has filed with FCC for license and launch of the EchoStar 25 satellite at the nominal 110W slot.
------"At the nominal 110° W.L. orbital location, EchoStar is licensed to operate over 29 of the available 32 DBS channels (specifically channels 1-27, 29,and 31).3 Currently, EchoStar provides service over these channels from the 110° W.L. cluster utilizing the EchoStar 10, EchoStar 11 (in inclined orbit), and EchoStar 23 satellites; and from the 119° W.L. cluster utilizing the EchoStar 14 and EchoStar 15 satellites. EchoStar anticipates that EchoStar 25 will be ready for launch as early as the first quarter of 2026. EchoStar anticipates that EchoStar 25, a spot-beam satellite, will take over delivery of certain programming services from EchoStar 10 and 14. After launch and in-orbit testing ("IOT"),4EchoStar 25 will proceed directly to 110.0° ± 0.05° W.L. Once EchoStar 25 is placed into operation, EchoStar 10 will initially remain at 110.2° W.L. serving as an in-orbit spare and may ultimately be relocated subject to all appropriate Commission authorizations. EchoStar 14 will remain at the nominal 119° W.L. orbital location and serve as an in-orbit spare once EchoStar 25 begins service." -----

EchoStar 25 at 110W
Ninety-three (93) spot beams
51 active transmitters
212 DMAs can be served simultaneously
Possible launch - 1st quarter 2026
Google Earth photo illustrates EIRP 50dBW coverage for each spot (50 probably covers reception with a standard diameter dish.)>
Half of the spot beams with transponder links are included in the Schedule S pdf and the other half will have similar transponder linkages.

nelson61 - is there a way to see which of the Spotbeams are availabe to Chicago? When I scan using my receiver, here in Chicago I am getting signal strength of greater than 40 on 9 different Spotbeams on 110, and 4 of the spotbeams are over 64. That is a lot more than what I remember seeing in the past.EchoStar 25 at 110W

Well, i posted on another forum of a problem i was having. The 12000 transponder on 101ku has their AC3 signal whacked out. Been like that for awhile. My high end Audio receiver has much more pronounced glitches because it resets the audio when the glitch comes through. It's so annoying that i cannot listen to it. I figured out that if i turn on AC3 down-mix for the channels on the transponder, the audio glitches are resolved within the satellite receiver and sends a clean AC3 signal to the audio receiver. Now, there are still glitches, but its not very noticeable and am able to listen without being annoyed.
The problem is, its a pain to remember, oh for this channel i need AC3 pass-thru off, and this on, and run through the remote commands to enable/disable. I want 99.9% of the channels to be AC3 down-mix OFF. Only for the channels on this transponder do i want it On. Remedy. I wrote a E2 plugin that is very user friendly that i set the default mode, and then add the channels that i want opposite the default value, and the satellite receiver automatically turns AC3 down-mix on/off. Of course, its smart enough to only change the setting if it needs to.

Did anyone have a price increase today on their equipment? I own my VIP211k's, and they have been $5.00. My bill that I received last week shows the "add-ons" as being $5.00. However, I just logged into my Dish account, and my "add-ons" are now $10.00. Did the additional receivers go up by $5.00 recently?
As I mentioned, my last bill shows $5.00 and under the notes, nothing is mentioned about a price increase.

I just got notice of my July bill, going up by over $60.
Probably my 2 year just lapsed.
Sent an email to my dish contact. Hopefully he can get it back down.
I'd like to stay with dish mostly because it's easy to use for my tech challenged wife, but also for some of the cool features, like PIP and MultiView.
I also have access to YouTube TV through a family plan, which I use sometimes.
That could be the fallback if the price can't get down to my current level, although training my wife to use that may be too much to ask.

To put it in perspective.... She can't figure out how to connect to Wi-Fi on her iPhone unless I help her. This is for saved profiles!
She will look at the cellular signal display on the phone...."See... I only have one bar on Wi-Fi!"
Me: Honey that's not Wi-Fi, that's your cellular connection. (Shows her how to connect, and look at the Wi-Fi display....)
A few hours later....
"See... I only have one bar on Wi-Fi!"
Me: Honey that's not Wi-Fi, that's your cellular connection. (Shows her how to connect, and look at the Wi-Fi display....)
Another few hours later....
Rinse and repeat.
Have you had her checked for dementia by chance? Or is this just typical woman tech challenged. My wife is tech challenged like a mother. I can show her how to use something and she will yell at me across the house my phone won't connect to the wifi! Show her again and the same thing the very next day. My aunt is 11 years older than me and she is also tech challenged. I hated getting phone calls from out of state from her saying my computer is messed up what do I do? I said stop using one. So she bought an expensive lap top and still can't figure out how to use it. Some people you can't help. You just have to be their ongoing tech support.To put it in perspective....
