Can you set up folders that you cantransfer items into? I know if you record multiple shows from the same series they will go into one folder. What about movies? Instead of 10 or 20 movies showing up in your DVR how about one folder to put them in. Any chance? Thanks

Considering Dish already provides a list of recordings by pre-set genres, one of those being MOVIES, Dish probably feels they have that covered. From their point of view they would say to use the pre-defined default Folders by Genres view. If a program is NOT News/Business, Sports, Movies, Education, or Music/Arts, then all you have to do is select the Series/Special folder to see all the remaining programs, and that is the bulk of the programming on Dish. That will effectively achieve what you want with minimum fuss and WITHOUT REDUNDANCY. However, you're perfectly free to use one of your 5 allotted Custom Folders as you own "generic" catch all folder that would not include MOVIES.

Create your Custom "My TV Shows" folder. Now, each time you create a timer, set the timers to automatically send the show to "My TV Shows" Folder. For movies, don't select a folder to send it to when creating the timer. Further, don't bother with making a Custom MOVIES folder because they are already organized in the Folders by Genres view and have their own folder there automatically and will display only movies in that folder. This takes the place of having to create a Custom MOVIES folder. Dish already does that for you automatically from the Folders by Genre selection. If you forget to set the timer to send the show to your custom folder, you can move it from any of the other Folder views to your custom folder. At least that's what I would do and it would seem to achieve exactly what I thing your trying to do.

But when you select "folders by genre", it un-does the stacking of episodes of a series because that's apparently considered "folders by title".

COME ON DISH, FIX YOUR COMPLETELY USELESS FOLDER SYSTEM!

I would think it would go without saying, but what SHOULD happen is that if you set up custom folders, they should automatically appear within the default (folders by title) view. You SHOULDN'T have to sacrifice folders by title by selecting "custom folders" which lumps everything else into a "no folders" folder.

Yeah, I later thought about it and you did say that and the OP wants something else. Thanks. U know of what you speak, as well

I would rather have Dish fix it so that when we delete a recording or just want to "back out" of a recording, that we be taken back to th list of episodes for that folder by title recordings instead of being booted all the way back to the full liat of all shows.

It would help even more on the EHD if on exiting a recording you were placed back were you entered it.
The EHD exit is ungraceful because to get back there you have to reselect the device from the DVR menu,
find the title, and then remember the episode.
With a number of collected shows having 100 to 200 episodes, it is a real pain.

I have another EHD problem. When I pause it, it will not play again--it shows a slashed red dot.
I guess that is the symbol for no record while playing. Is it just mine or true for all HwS?
This never happened on the H2000. The way out is to skip back and then it will play.
Dish has a few line of code written incorrectly, somewhere.

Another complaint is the lack of a start-over button on exiting a recording.
It is too slow to rewind and re-finding the recording is a lot steps with many episodes, especially on the EHD.
But at least on Hopper you can back into the recording after exiting--you couldn't on the VIP using an EHD.

The EHD pause bug on my HWS seems to have suddenly disappeared a few weeks ago. I say suddenly because it does NOT appear that a software upgrade happened! So I'm clueless as to what's going on there.

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 getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.
