Been away for almost 2 Years, left even paying a lot get me out of contract because of the following.

What do you guys think? Is is safe to come back? I know their developers have been working hard on the software
Are these issues all fixed?
I think most are and I am thinking of coming back, already talking to executive support about the money I lost buying out the contract and they are being air.

Are these fixed?

1. the Joey 4k did not have Netfix at all and I waited a year
now I see it has Netflix but then I read all the Joey 4K issues where it crashed with Netflix.


QUESTION 1: Threads seem to calm down, is it stable now and fixed?

I signed a 2 Year contract AND Paid $50 extra to get a Joey 4K. I was promised the Netflix would be coming soon to the Joey 4K. After waiting One Year you NEVER delivered NETFLIX.

a. At CES 2016 the on screen message Said Netflix was coming soon Feb 18, 2016
b. Dishes Official Press Release said Netflix was coming on the Joey 4K, I have a copy
c. Later Dish changed the message to just Coming Soon on the Joey 4K. I have a PHOTO

2. I signed a 2 Year contract AND Paid $50 extra to get a Joey 4K and was promised at CES 2016. QUESTION 2: Picture n Picture support on the Joey 4K, is the PIP working?


3. I signed a 2 year contract for the Hopper 3 system and was promised Local Channel Guide data even paid Dish money to buy an OTA adapter. I see a new OTA tuner, but DO YOU GET GUIDE DATA for most channels, Two years ago there were lots of complains about no guide data for most markets on the Sub channels DOT 3 and 4s
QUESTION 3: this is a BIG one for Me, is this fixed? Is the AirTV tuner the way to go

a. Dish does not carry all locals on the SAT, but they do sell a $30 OTA Tuner so we can get the local sub channels like 3.3, 6.3, 8.3. 10.3. 15.3 and 42.3
Dish added guide data for the other channels but never added local guide data for the Dot 3 Sub Channels.

b. It is hard to watch channels with out guide data. It is impossible to record these channels

4. Dish Stopped delivering on AUTO HOP or Commercial Skip on the 4 major networks
Due to Law Suits dish has pushed Auto Hop back to a 3 to 7 day wait where it used to be next day

QUESTION 4: how is the commercial skip these days, any better or the same? I really have not had it for a year anyway with the other provider.

5. Netflix on the Joey 4k do shows in 4K and HDR?
QUESTION 6:

BONUS QUESTIONS
6. Any hope for Amazon Prime or Hulu apps? I see comcast now has Netflix and Amazon Prime, with Cox cable soon to follow early next year as they use the same software
QUESTION 5: bonus question, not a reason to leave

6. How is the 4K and HDR channels
QUESTION 7: any live TV yet or is it just events on on demand

P.S. Really miss you guys, I have been a member since day one. Miss the old xmas parties and Charlie chats that are long since gone.

I still get Autohop the next day for one channel in my market. Everything else seems to take a week or maybe more before it shows up.

I don't remember nor doesn't it really matter, but some of the agreements to delay autohop-ability only applied to corporate-owned stations so if your local is privately-owned, Autohop might work within 24 hours like it used to when it first came out. I'm pretty certain this applied to CBS, for example, because our local CBS is not a corporate-owned station and I remember seeing TBBT have Autohop the following day.

QUESTION: guess the one thing I need is guide data for the COMET channel KTPM 42.3
Any way to know if it is there, could not find the uplink charts that had OTA guide data in them. I really need guide data for this so I can record. I watch it a lot.
Did the 42.3 sub-channel exist before 2011-2012 or so ? Did it exist when you last had Dish ? If not, meaning it's a newly-added sub-channel, it will not have guide data.

Yeah, our local NBC station is a locally-owned station. Fox is too, but I never record anything on it, so not sure if it also gets AutoHop the next day.

I suppose you could do a test recording on those channels and see what happens the next day....;)

43.3 is a new sub channel.
I did try a Friends Air tV with Sling which is owned by Echo Star who owns Dish and it had all the guide data, so I know they have the data, just a matter did they add it to the Dish guide.

QUESTION: any one have a link to the uplink reports? OTA guide data used to be in there for sub channels. Its been a few years since I read one.

I also plan to ask Executive support since they are trying to help get me going again before the Price increases.

Thank you again everyone for your help.

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....

It is really really simple install (no special tools or instruments required and they guide you through using their starlink app and a simple set of instructions.

You can order direct from starlink online or from an authorized retailer.

Not at all like the special equipment needed for a satellite install.

Thank you Nelson,
Yes, I fully agree. I can install it with my teeth, and both hands tied behind my back...but this installation is for a commercial user that will not do it themselves, and myself, Im overseas...

But it looks like that we managed to find someone who can drive there for the work.

Thank you 🙏

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. :eek

Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

I'm pretty sure the most you can get is seven.

What America can't afford is the payments on $80,000+ pickups and SUVs and $40,000+ crossovers.

Believe it or not, 8 yrs...96 mon is starting to become common.

What I can't believe is the interest rates they are charging now. I've got a high credit score and when recently at a Ford dealership I inquired about what the rates were for new vehicles and he said 6.9%. Yikes.

This should hit a lot of folks with a dose of reality. I can only imagine how much more common this will get as AI progresses.

I read several stories on this and most are clear as mud. They say a lot of the stolen bitcoin has been "locked out" and that everyone will be made financially whole. I guess time will tell if either of these statements are actually true.

The "Secure Asset Fund" had about $1 billion in reserves... in Bitcoin.

The fund started in 2018, so it may take a while to make investors whole, much less replenish the fund.

That's kinda what I was seeing but all the news reports are suggesting that all investors will be made whole immediately.
The other thing they weren't clear about was the BTC that was "locked out" of the system. I guess that means that the stolen BTC is basically worthless now because I don't see how it could be replaced....but there is a LOT about the crypto world that leaves me scratching my head.

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.

I'm curious how they are going to implement Tony into Origins (If they do) ...
Tony was introduced to Gibbs and the team, on NCIS, which makes it the Mothership side of things, he worked in Baltimore prior to NCIS, NO mention when they met that anyone had known one another ...
