Hey folks, it's rare but it happens. You may be far from your home port when there's a problem with your satellite TV system. It's the last thing you really want to have to deal with. If only there were a way to make it easier.
You probably don't know much about the way your boat's satellite TV system works. Chances are you've never had to think about it. So if it stops working, you're probably not even sure where to start.
That's where the experts at Signal Connect come in. We can diagnose problems remotely and give you the steps to take. A lot of times, there are simple things you can do that will let you watch TV quickly. You don't need to know how to fix the system or even how to twist a screwdriver. Just call the experts at Signal Connect at 888-233-7563. It will help if you have some idea of what kind of satellite system you have, though. If nothing else, look for the white gumdrop-shaped dome and see if it has a brand name on it. Often times that's enough to get us started.
Suppose a large object hit your satellite dome. Or you dropped a satellite TV in a puddle. I'm talking about the kind of damage that takes a little more than pressing the reset button. It doesn't happen very often but when it does, it's nice to know that you have someone on your side.
Call us at 888-233-7563 during East Coast business hours. A lot of times things aren't as bad as you think they are. We can ship replacement parts like satellite receivers to the nearest port and guide you through the activation process. If you need more help than that, we can usually set it up so that a marine installer meets you at port to work on what you need. In rare cases we'll even be able to send someone straight to the boat. As you would imagine, that can be a bit pricey.
Signal Connect has been helping boaters for over two decades. We've done more satellite activations than anyone in the world! Whether you need help with satellite television, internet, cellular, networking, or anything related to your boat's entertainment systems, call us! We can help. When you call 888-233-7563 during East Coast business hours, you'll reach an expert who can guide you through the whole process of getting things fixed. We're DIRECTV, DISH, Viasat, and Starlink dealer and we can help you get what you need. Call us, or if it's after hours just fill out the form below. We'll get right back to you!

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):
