Does the Hopper UHF remote ever have problems where you press a button ONE SINGLE TIME, yet the [redacted] piece of [redacted] proceeds to act as if you had pressed the button 17 or maybe 142 times?
Specific interest as to whether you have this problem in relation to how many 2.4 GHz WiFi networks are in your area. I would imagine here that most posters here are probably homeowners, but I have had DISH in various apartments. Apartments being closer together, and with virtually everyone having a wireless network, this causes severe pollution on 2.4 GHz. I operate my own WiFi primarily on 5 GHz because of this.
My understanding is that the UHF remote used on both the 922 and Hopper operates on 2.4 GHz. My remarks concerning that are primarily along the lines of "anyone who thought that was a good idea should be subject to execution".
I don't really want to hear "Oh, move the DVR, oh, blah, other suggestion I've already read 492 times". It doesn't matter where you put the damn DVR when you have 37 neighbors doing god knows what to the poor 2.4 GHz band at all hours of the day. Oh, and at my new apartment, across the street, there's a Motel 6, another hotel brand I forgot, and another hotel brand I forgot. And they all crap over 2.4 GHz as well.
I don't know what frequency the UHF remote that came with a 501 used - but I literally NEVER had a SINGLE problem with that. I thought the damn thing was magic - you could change the channel from the mailbox. But it was a long time ago, I was in high school and still lived at home, which was a house (but we did have a WiFi network, first one on the block I'd figure).
Almost no one uses 900 MHz now. It's perfect for remotes.

I had issues here with my dish UHF remotes, they were flakey.
So I added a OTA signal amp and fed it to my receivers.
I had a adjustable amp set it on max and went for a walk with my cell phone and remote.
amazing it must of worked a least a half mile away.
I locked all my receivers so a neighbor didnt buy porn
and set the amps gain back a lot..

hey i just rembered, with that amp on high, i drove up to mc intyre square, stood on the top of the hill looked down at our house and changed channels from their. it might be a mile, i was stunned it worked from there
I the ever present jokester thought about feeding one of my remotes to a linear amp, and ordering everyones dish setup to buy porn, just as a gag

Continuing the Kilauea thread in the Pub here. Perhaps the Iceland one too next time there's remarkable activity.
Currently there is precursory lava flowing into the crater, leading to the next episode that'll probably start within the next day.
You can see the pace of inflation / deflation here. It serves as the primary predictor for when the expect the eruptions, which coincide w/ inflation turning into significant deflation and last for several hours on average with significant fountaining.

Wife and I like the AfarTV feeds, for the discussion along w/ them, though they're otherwise just mirrors of the official USGS feeds.

Not sure saving $24/year is worth it unless you're a hardcore Philo user. I'll stick with monthly.

'Rockford Files' Reboot Gets NBC Pilot Order
I grow tired of all the reboots. Most I don't bother with but will depend on the actor chosen.

I have Dish with Hopper3. I choose to get local channels OTA and had a "guide list" established at my previous home. Having moved a few miles away, I wanted to update the list by appending a couple new stations via a rescan. As many would know, some stations come in with the UHF/VHF antenna aimed in one direction, while others come in better with a different direction.
Unfortunately, when a scan is done (bringing in 25-30 stations for that particular antenna aim), the dialog screen does not present the established guide list; it presents an empty field to the right that the scanned stations may be selected one by one and added to the empty guide. But because of antenna aim, some stations originally saved are missing, and would have to be retrieved with a different antenna aim. But as I explain, if a 2nd scan is done with a different antenna aim, the stations saved from the first scan are lost.
It troubles me that Dish didn't develop software that would allow a user to simply append only 1 or 2 channels to the established list.
Any thought on this? Has anyone experienced this or heard of this from others?
