After reset, the top light turns white and you hit and hold the button until the white light starts blinking then release the button. I think we are both saying the same thing.

How will I know if I catch the download when I see it in redh other than when it comes back up? I tried about 7 times never caught the d/l for 1003 and Thanks appreciate it very much!

You should Always LOOK at REDHAT First- What ever version is active is shown - 1003 was active after 3AM-est and was still in the active stream till 7am est.

I invite you to join or watch this site and you can get info as to what or when come test - remember it's only TV so what could happen?

using a HS17 - Are you using a Wired Internet Connection? (FIRST) if wired you need to disconnect the lan cable -if NOT it will try to download it from the internet =(fail)

If your Using Wireless -(FIRST) I'm NOT sure but you may have to disable that as well - I'm using a HR54 so it's just restart (first blue light) 02468

using a HS17 -they only way to know is when the unit comes back -because when it's down - NO TV is to be found anywhere on any client.

I would have a HS17 if it were NOT for the fact -that they will have to pry my tuners from my Cold Dead Hands-LOL

1) I have HS17 and wired connection and thank you I will do that next time appreciate that on the Wired Connection I'll unhook the internet connection wire then try to d/l it.....Would it work if I take the internet connection wire out and then tried to download it? Thanks 2) Thank you On not knowing if it until it comes back on if you caught the d/l I'm usually wake up during that time period every night so I'll check it see if REDHAT is Red and if it is try it. 3) on your thoughts on the HS17 and thank you very much for the response and help appreciate it very much!!

Yes, Before you try to force a download - Remove the Lan cable - Then restart the receiver and doing everything as before - If you go to the other site you can monitor the chat (if you have a login) or buy subscribing to the CE notice link - you will get an email when a CE is announced - -then join the chat room and when it released that's how you know - you don't have to interact with the chat you can watch it -but you are welcome to Chat if you wish.

After you get the download - Just remember to re-connect the lan and connect to the internet. as long as the download was okay - if not -leave it unhooked till you get confirmation -thru the menu settings -info and test -to see the current Firmware load.

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....
