Receiving Voom 10 and a few other 61.5 channels pre-Dish Install
Don't know if this will help any of you Voomers out there who are awaiting installation, but here's what I did.
Disclaimer: I'm not suggesting that any one else do this and I take no responsibility for anything that happens to anyone else based on the information in this post.
I had ordered Dish about a week before Voom shut down and several days before the Dish 10 channel announcement. I received my 942 last Friday and was scheduled for installation on Monday.
Once I heard the announcement, I called and asked them to sign me up for the Voom 10. The CSR said no problem other than they have to re-schedule the installation. Unfortunately, that isn't going to be until May 8th. Bummer, but I wanted Voom.
I decided to go ahead and see what the 942 would do with the Voom feed since the Voom dish was pointing in the right spot. I split the feed 3 ways and attached it to both satellite connections and the digital antenna connection. I powered on, went through set-up and voila!, it found the Voom channels. I also had my 5 OTA channels
I thought, what the heck, I'm calling a CSR and seeing if they'll turn it on. I got through quickly and a friendly fellow asked how he could help. Once he saw my account information, he saw that I was pending installation. I told him I was partially installed and I was seeing the channels in the program guide. He took the system information from me and activated me.
I started seeing some of the channels including the pentagon channel, but when I tried the Voom channels I got the check switch message. Oh well, at least I tried right?
Well, last night while changing channels the Voom channels started coming in. It'll be nice to get the Dish channels next Tuesday, but till then, I'm Voomin!

This should hit a lot of folks with a dose of reality. I can only imagine how much more common this will get as AI progresses.
I read several stories on this and most are clear as mud. They say a lot of the stolen bitcoin has been "locked out" and that everyone will be made financially whole. I guess time will tell if either of these statements are actually true.

After having continuing trouble with my eight+ year old Dell Inspiron laptop I am looking to hopefully catch a good deal on new one. My options to buy is Costco and Sam's Club. It seems like a lot of new laptops are 2 in 1 which I do not need. I use the laptop to mainly surf the web and keep up with my finances, money and bills. I would like to have at least a 15" screen and having a touchscreen is a plus. The keyboard would need to lighted also. I don't game any. It would have to be Windows instead of and not Mac. The brands I see the most are Asus, Dell and HP. My two last laptops has been Dell's. Of these brands are there any standouts over the other brands. My budget (hopefully) is $600+-. Also while researching I noticed that do not have ethernet ports.

HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
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....

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?

News about the tower's dispute-
Towercos now own Dish's 5G radios – and SpaceX might be a buyer
Tower companies now own Dish's deserted 5G gear, says American Tower CEO Steven Vondran. This could feed into SpaceX's mobile ambitions, analysts say.

So does this mean the churches and businesses that Dish owes back payments to are going to get paid now?
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.

..I hate playing in Ames.
I hate playing in LA ...
Buckeyes had 2 weeks off and came out and looked absolutely terrible ... broke in a new Freshman Qb, but that wasn't the worst part ... undiscipline play, at last count they had 10 penalties.
Freshman in the end of the game trying to play catch up, had a lot of Over throws ... Bucks lose ...
#1 Miami struggled but pulled away in the end beating North Carolina by 3 ...
Tuesday the CFP brings out thier Playoff Top 12 again ... Buckeyes should drop from #2 to about #22 (they won't) had they had thier Starting QB, it would have been a different game ...
They could lose the rest of thier games at this point.
