Cutting Edge
As part of our upgrade we have moved to a new streaming company DJC Media. DJC Media is considered by many to be one of the top streaming services in the USA. Many commercial radio stations use DJC Media.
However over the past two nights we have had down time due to server issues with DJC's server.
From what I am told from other broadcasters who use DJC, this downtime is EXTREMELY unusual.
DJC just sent out the following message to all broadcasters using their new server (which is the server we are on.)
After 12 hours of digging and very much frustration we believe we have found the issue that is causing the server crashes.
The DC could not find any evidence of Cyber Attack and our our records indicate no evidence of a bot attack. We called in a outside consultant who believes it to be a bug in the version of Icecast we are using.
We have contacted our SysAdmin and ordered the upgrade recommended by our consultant. This will be accomplished late tonight.
We appreciate your patience and promise to keep you posted on our progress.

Here is an update...
Good morning to all!
We just wanted to give you an update on the progress of the server repairs we have been making over the past few days. As we reported yesterday, we brought in outside assistance and we were able to rule out any ddOs and bot attacks, as was originally the fear.
What we did find was a bug in the way ICKH was handling file wrappers so we contacted the developer of ICKH and were able to come up with some solutions.
During the afternoon outage yesterday we were able to load a patch and make some adjustments to see if a upgrade to a newer version of ICKH was going to be the real answer. The patches held through the night without any flooding of port 80 so that tells us we are on the correct path.
Our team is continuing to monitor the performance and should the new settings not hold, the new version is ready for immediate load should the system fail anytime during the week. Our plan is to wait until very early Sunday morning to do the actual upgrade to avoid any further network interruptions.
Since we have been sending these bulk emails to everyone at the same time, we will be closing the massive amounts of support tickets that were opened. We want to spend our time watching and tweaking without having to answer each and every one of them. We hope you understand.
If you have issues we want you to open a ticket and we will respond as quickly as possible, the only tickets we will be closing are those that were opened for the outages.
I will drop everyone another mail as our investigation continues. We feel you deserve the honest truth about what is going on and what we are doing to fix the situation and prevent it from happening again.
We thank you for sticking in there with us and promise to continue to work hard to provide you with a stable, solid Ad Insertion Solution.
Warmest Regards,

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!
