That's right friends, it's the most wonderful time of the year (for antenna enthusiasts, anyway.) Solid Signal's Antennathon has returned and it's better than ever!
This year, in addition to the best prices on antennas, we have something special to share with you. Buy a Televes antenna and you'll get 50% off an antenna mount if you check out with code ANTENNATHON. It's just a little gift from us to you, and it's a great way to get the antenna you really want.
In the last several years, US broadcast TV has had a big change. Channels 36-51 are no longer used for broadcast television. Those frequencies have been given over to 5G instead, which makes sense given the amazing demand for data we all have. It's meant that more channels moved down into the range from channel 2-13, and that's meant increased demand for VHF antennas.
One of my personal favorite antennas is this Dinova Boss Mix from Televes. It's a dynamite little amplified antenna that has the best build quality of any compact antenna I've tested. The extendable VHF dipoles may look silly, but they enable the Dinova to get great VHF reception when needed. Even with the dipoles extended, it's small enough to meet HOA requirements.
With the writers' and actors' strikes going into extra innings so to speak, you'll want a reliable source of great content more than ever. The strikes haven't affected streaming as much as broadcast… yet… but they will. At this point I am guessing it's going to be 18 months or more before the TV world is back to normal, and that's not great news considering that there was a pause in production in 2020 because of you-know-what.
That means you're going to want a source of video entertainment that's there for you. Oh I know, there's a never-ending stream of content on YouTube and TikTok. I don't know about you but there's only so much of that stuff I can watch. I prefer things that are professionally produced by people who know what they're doing.
That means I like watching scripted TV. And luckily, there's a lot of it on free broadcast television. You won't get most of it on cable, satellite, or streaming though. You'll need a TV antenna.
Now's the time to go to Solid Signal's Antennathon page to see the great deals there! If you have questions, call the experts at 888-233-7563 or fill out the form below.

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?

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

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....

Lately my eight year old Dell laptop has been shutting off even when I have a full battery. I have had to keep it plugged up all the time to keep this from happening. Any idea what is causing this? I replaced the battery about three years ago.

I set up a music server for my brother a few years ago. It's basically a small headless computer but it needs to have a DHCP IP address reserved for it in the router settings. This was easy to do in his DSL router. He's switching to Starlink now and I was wondering if these setting are easily accessible in the Starlink router. I'm pretty sure he will be getting the latest V5 router.

If you can restrict the DHCP address space to assign addresses to one end of the subnet (i.e. x.x.x.50+), you can manually assign the IP address on pretty much any operating system. This is a default behavior on several popular routers. As the Router Mini only supports 235 devices, I expect that's already done.
Another option is to use a router that supports PoE to power the antenna. This article discusses that option (under PoE Power heading):
