Good morning all, I have a problem and hope that maybe someone here can help me,
last month I upgraded all my equipment to 2 hopper with sling and 1 Joey , I did this cuz I have a son in the marine corps that stationed in Okinawa japan, and they only get 1 American channel PBS there.....
before I upgraded I spoke with Dish and explained to them why I wanted the hoppers with sling, so my son in okinowa could access live tv, on demand , blockbuster etc, etc, I was assured that he would be able to use sling to receive everything I pay for....I am Microsoft certified in networking for 18 yrs now so I know my way around so to speak....
my setup at home is 50mb download, 12mb upload, have Motorola SB 141 450mb modem, an Asus AC dual ban 1750 Router, router is directly wired to hopper, only have 1 hopper online for now,
my son has a 25mb, down, 7mb upload, with a Netgear dual ban AC router, also directly wired to his laptop, his laptop is an Asus gaming laptop 3g video card, 16 mb memory i7 intel processor, and all video and other drivers r up to date ,all cables for connections being used are Cat7 700 mhz , (started with Cat5 and worked my way up just in case it was cables)so I know all equipment is top of the line, and works flawlessly, for 3 weeks now I've been back and forth with dish, my son can only watch live tv, channels 6-380 from his laptop using dish anywhere, he can't watch onDemand,Blockbuster, or TV shows.....when he tries to watch movie, he gets spinning connection hr. glass in dish, black screen.......
i am wits end here, he's tried both different browsers, IE, Chrome, I tried putting hopper on static ip, and on DMz , to see if that was it, I saw on here somewhere where someone spoke of port forwarding, but don't know what's ports to forward, or if that would even help, but if you guys think it would please forward info and will try, the only reason why I upgraded all equipment was so my son could watch American TV, he stationed there for the next 2 yrs......if anyone has any ideas, on a fix, could you please contact me or post suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated by me and certainly my son.....if u need any more info on equipment or anything please post or pm me.....
thanks Rocky?

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.

Even though it didn't work out for the Hoosiers, this event recorded and I was able to watch it in full 4K HDR.
Timer is set to Record the Series. Thanks, Bobby!

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 surprised Walmart hasn't banned this guy from all of their stores. He has been on their CASE the past few months.

Unless the specific product or its packaging is known at the time of weighing, estimating the tare weight for a PoS system is a tall order.
I'm pretty sure that produce bags can't get any thinner.
You certainly don't want to put unbagged produce on a belt, scale, or in a clerk's hands (gloved or not).
I would think that all the packaging would already be accounted for ... they weigh the container, subtract that from the scale, then add the product , so its weighing the Product onlyUnless the specific product or its packaging is known at the time of weighing, estimating the tare weight for a PoS system is a tall order.

I remember this in the news too...
www.nbcnews.com
$14,000 spent on rented rotary phone
A widow rented a rotary dial telephone for 42 years, paying what her family calculates as more than $14,000 for a now- outdated phone.

That is a misnomer. In the old days you subscribed to telephone service. That included the telephone line and one telephone. An extension cost $1 a month extra. So that $14,000 over 42 years was for the service not the leased telephone. There is no way they paid $28 a month for 42 years for a leased telephone.I remember this in the news too...

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

I haven't posted in almost 17 years. Over the air, sat, offline, anything-but-the-internet is still one of my avid pursuits. Been playing with offline tv viewing and offline web browsing. I have great appreciations for this site still being here. It's so hard to find public communities that haven't sold out to social media company.

Welcome back, as you can see we branched off into a bunch of things since Satellite is what it is now, so lots to talk about here.
