Well I have been informed that I have an Outdoors TV Account but because I have a Hopper, I cannot use the MyDish.com App to change my Service Address. Dish just astounds me in their thinking at times.

So you can't use the "Outdoor TV" features in the app because you have a "home receiver" but you can and do have a home receiver on an outdoor account which, apparently, doesn't enable the outdoor TV features in the app. So, what's the point of the outdoor account?

Furthermore, I asked MattG what the procedure is for converting an existing account to a Dish Outdoors account, and I still have not gotten a reply. :(

Well that makes sense, make a feature available to people with part-time accounts and not to people with full-time accounts.

Like in high school, some girls make it real hard to love them.

Matt G. from DIRT sent me this:

"I have added this tag for you. Note that you do not subscribe to locals. If you did, and tried to change what you receive, this would be based on the location of the equipment and not an address you give."

So, apparently, if your account is not properly tagged as an Outdoor account, any DIRT member can add this tag for you. This reply may also explain why the feature is only available through the app, since it must use the GPS in your phone, as others here speculated.

Hmmm... "If you did, and tried to change what you receive, this would be based on the location of the equipment and not an address you give."
I think in reality that should actually be "based on the location of your phone and not an address you give."

That is the way I interpreted it. Otherwise, it would not make sense, since if your receivers are not connected to the internet, then Dish would have no way of knowing where the equipment is. I think in this quote, "equipment" is being used as a broader term for a phone, tablet, etc.

Yes that's one thing. I was alluding to something else also in making the distinction... :devilish

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....

I'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.
