Wife said she couldn't get any of her recorded shows to play. Checked it out and all of them had red dots next to them as if they were currently recording, which they weren't.
Did a menu reset. No help. Did a power cord reset and after what seemed like a long time, a screen came up saying the hard drive was being reformatted and she would lose all her recordings but retain her timers. That's exactly what happened. She still has the icons of her recorded show but no recordings to watch when selected.
We've only been back with Dish for a year and this particular receiver has already died and been replaced once. Guess the question is, is this one now fried? It seems to work ok right now but will it go out again soon and lose all her recordings again? This is just a regular hopper w/sling adapter. Haven't had any problems with our Hopper w/sling. I know nobody has a crystal ball but was this HD failure just a glitch or is it an indication of larger problems to come soon. Thanks

BOTH of my brand new HWS's (HDD's) didn't make it two years either; BOTH of them died within a month of each other...pretty pathetic IMO.

Funny. Haven't had any problems with my HWS even though it's in an enclosed entertainment unit that gets warm. My problem has been with the basic Hopper that's sitting out in the open with no air circulation issues!
My loyalty goes to my wallet so I have no compunction with switching back to DTV again when the time comes. In a month I could take an early termination hit of $200 and still break even after receiving the $200 VISA card from Dish for coming back. But, I will probably wait until the new HR54 is in full distribution. DTV was much easier to deal with as far as price breaks went after you are out of contract. Actually now that I put the numbers to it, it makes much more sense to switch back earlier rather than later. But I really would want the HR54 and it hasn't been released yet but I guess I could live with an HR44. Since I just went to my regular pricing with Dish, which is an additional $40 a month or $480 for a year, the $200 hit for early termination looks miniscule.

Even funnier, I have (1) basic Hopper as well...& haven't had a SINGLE prob with it - & IT was refurbed or previously used...go figure!
(no, I am NOT going to start continuously posting this like a certain person does...particularly since it doesn't do any good...HOWEVER, with it almost being 2016...)
Quite honestly, I'm kind of disgusted with either of them, mostly because NEITHER one has added much, if any new HD in ages! I understand about only so much bandwidth, etc. etc...but E* just finished up doing that big 8PSK conversion on WA, so they should now have plenty of room to be adding at least SOME new HD. (they already have the room on EA...) Also, the signal level on the 129 x-ponder for our (HD) locals is MUCH lower than the rest of the national beams...so my locals always go out at the lightest of rains. (before anyone asks, no it's NOT a dish issue at my home; it's very low at any E*'s subs home I've ever been to...) But along those lines, the national beams on 129 here aren't exactly wonderful...& never have been.
As far as D*, they have 1 new bird floating up there, that doesn't appear they're going to be using for ANYTHING but possibly 4K stuff, that only a fraction of the sub base will even be able to watch! Then they have another bird D15 that is getting into orbit/testing as we speak...again, is AT&T going to actually have it transmit anything (new HD) in the near future, or is (also) going to sit up there flying around doing nothing???
So my only other pay TV choices here are either Comcrap or U-worse. Comcast, like most of their other systems, is a complete HD joke, so not even worth considering. I would actually consider trying U-verse, as they have one of the best HD lineups (channel-wise) that I can get in my area, but I already know about it's own picture quality issues, plus you can only watch/record 4 shows simultaneously...not to mention the highest internet speed I've been told I qualify for, is a staggering 18mg. (I get 125mg now on Comcast) I'm actually considering getting JUST the U-verse TV alongside my current providers & seeing if I could tolerate it's shortcomings. Problem is, you pay AT&T much more for TV, (after the promos run out) if that is the ONLY thing you get from them.
If I was in either a Charter or Brighthouse area, I'd switch to them in heartbeat, as they seem to be some of the ONLY systems that have a "robust" HD lineup; I would definitely use Tivo's for my DVR's, though. (just bought 2 cable/OTA Roamios at their summer blowout sale, so actually I'd be all set there)

But.....if you like Tulsa King....looks like you would probably like this as well. I don't mind spin-offs as long as they don't involve a sassy niece who moves from the big cityAnother Tulsa King spin off.
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?

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?

Tony as the director.
Would you rather have LaRoche ???Tony as the director.
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 ...No. Bring in someone new.
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.

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

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.

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....
