The guide is replicating the Hallmark channel listings on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries which means I can't set a timer to record any new movies that might premiere on HM&M and that does not please the better half. I forced a guide update but it's still messed. I'm really getting tired of this nonsense. :mad:

Folk TV has started showing "Space:1999" on Sunday afternoons. Except the guide says "Space" for the TV show and 1/1/99 for the air date. They did get Barbara Bain and Martin Landau right though ;)

I noticed that after I read your post and went to the guide and it looks like they have 3 more set up for this Sunday. Looks like I missed the first three episodes. I hope they go all the way with this because it was on for two seasons.:clapping

Well, I have some unexpected good news, and I'm not sure when this was kluged together.

Recall that, ever since locals via satellite became optional, I dropped them since I had (at that time) 3 VIP receivers with built-in tuners and a fair roof antenna. The key to this ability is to have a guide for the OTA channels, which formerly was not available if you did not also sub to satellite locals. Most all OTA channels retained their guide. But the guide for my local PBS station, 26-1, was totally absent unless I subbed again to satellite locals. I complained about this to DIRT at the time, but they could not figure out what the issue was and the guide for that main channel has been AWOL ever since. (The subchannels on 26 all retained their guide as expected.) Now that has been fixed.

I now see a channel 26-0 in the guide, but I cannot tune to it since I don't sub to satellite locals. But now that 26-0 is back, so is 26-1! I call that a kluge. But I am happy since I don't have to record Nature or NOVA off Baltimore channel 22 any longer.

Thank you for the update, TheKrell. I am glad to hear that your long-standing OTA guide issue has finally been fixed! Now maybe they can get to work on fixing the OTA guide problem with my local channel, WMFD 068-01, which has no guide data in spite of Dish carrying WMFD on 012-00.

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....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Great ending, but it ran in circles most of the season.

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Might be worth just to ditch the hopper plus. No issues here on h713

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
