I saw this today: http://fnx.org/bigthings/

Anyone know for sure what this means? Is FNX going to be on 125W with World, Create, and V-Me?

For some reason the "AZBox Me" can't play video or audio on this channel, but the Amiko-A3 plays it fine. :confused:

It worked (usually!) on my AZBox Ultra, but did struggle to get it when first going to the channel (and sometime freezes for a bit). Anyhow, on another site someone said that the PCR for the channel is missing from the PMT Table. Therefore, I just did a manual channel entry in PID Edit in Advance Scan (don't know whether that is the same place you do manual entries in the AZBox ME or not) and it works fine now.

The PIDS for the channel (scanned in) are PMT PID: 240, SID: 15, PCR: 8191, Video PID: 241, Video Type: H.264, Audio PID: 244, Audio Type: MPEG-2.

The manual entry I did changed the following: PMT PID: 740 (added 500 to avoid any other PMT PID in the table), SID: 115 (added 100 to the SID, again to avoid any other one), PCR: 241 (same as the VPID, which all other channels in the mux also use). Rest of the PIDs are the same. That corrected the problem completely.

When FNX first appeared in "test mode" before disappearing for a bit, I did not have any problem with the channel, so it has only been since they re-added it to the mux that the problem appeared.

But there is no way to edit the PIDs on the AzBox Me without using an external editor.

Didn't know that. That would seem to be the only way to do it. I would imagine that you would still have to do a manual new channel entry (with new PMT PID and SID) to avoid the receiver from automatically changing what you changed back (for example, if you just changed the PCR for the current channel).

Getting fine audio and video on my Az Ultra right now.... Channel looks great!

I just did a transponder scan, and it is now showing a PCR of 241 for the channel, so looks like they added it to the PMT Table (as before it was scanning in, or the AZBox was putting in, a value of 8191).

Show now work fine for Babadem and his AZBox Me.

You're right!! I just went to the channel, and a second or so later video appeared, but no audio. I changed to another channel and back both audio and video worked. I didn't even rescan the transponder. I'm glad they got this fixed. :D

You can't edit PID'S on existing channels but can certainly create a new channel with custom PID'S by using the manual PID entry option located in manual transponder scan. However, this feature is only available if using our North American firmware for the AzBox Me.

I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

I'm not a big fan of the new layout, especially on my Apple TV. It used to look like the old Guide layout on the Hopper 3, but they changed parts of that, too.

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.

I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

No. Bring in someone new.🤔 Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.

I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...

Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)

Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.

Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.

It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.

If you're going try to read / listen to the book (can't recommend the audio book enough) before this comes out, I'd avoid trailers.

Trailer below, spoiling it to make sure you read the above bold message first. The book / audio book are fantastic. Go into this blind if you can IMO!




Kind of disappointed at how much they show. A lot still to see, but man, some good reveals in the book that are just served up here.

Forgot to comment. I did watch when it first came out on MGM. I enjoyed it a lot. I think reading the book made it easier to watch. Several friends commented it was a little hard to follow.

I agree. That can go for pretty much any book vs movie. Back when I was single I would read any Stephen King or John Grisham book I could get my hands on. When you read a book you make up the scenes and characters in your mind.....the movie version always disappoints.

A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

Browns lose a close one with... The Jets. That is a classic Browns loss (granted, any loss is a classic one it seems). 49'ers, Vikings, and Chiefs remain undefeated. The AFC north have a three way tie at 3-2 for second place. :eek:

I had quit watching this show years ago because I ended up more annoyed than entertained. Well......I'm STILL more annoyed than entertained. I DO find it interesting to see how things work behind the scenes at many businesses. What annoys me is how utterly out of touch CEOs are with the companies they run. At the end of almost every episode the head of the company is amazed at how hard the employees have to work and many times have to work around impossible guidelines set forth from headquarters.

I found this one interesting because the new CEO had big plans for this company, Muscle Maker Grill, and it looked like the stores were all pretty busy. Recent history hasn't been good to this company however. I bet the covid lockdowns were the real killer.

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....
