Good morning to y'all.
I am having an issue with watching a recording that is still taking place.
In the past this was not a problem. For instance, I would start a recording. It would start and continue till the end. If I skipped commercials tv eventually would show 'live tv' on the screen and skipping commercials wouldn't be possible.
I set up Hopper3 to record soccer tournament on Fox. One game was still recording. Few days ago. About 55 minutes into the game, I selected to watch from the beginning. (I always add 60 extra minutes to soccer games.) The screen turned black and stayed black as if I turned the TV off! This was not a problem in the past. A tv connected to Joey 2. Pressing different buttons on remote (to go to live tv and start all over) did nothing. Unresponsive.
I unplugged Joey 2. Waited and plugged it back. That didn't help. I assumed the issue was with Hopper3 instead. I turned the TV connected to Hopper3. Must remind you the game was still being recorded. Exactly same result. Blank screen!
I could hear my wife watching a different recording upstairs on TV connected to kitchen Joey2! Entering channel numbers on remote would not take me to live tv. Very strange. Unplugging and replugging Hopper3 did not help.
I waited until the recording was done. I selected the same recording with Joey 2 (on my daily tv, the first one) and it was fine.
This happened at least twice.
What does this mean? Software glitch? Hopper3 dying? I also noticed changing channels on live tv or selecting a recording is taking extra few seconds. Hopper3 seems a bit slower.
Anybody had a similar experience? I believe it is too early to ask for equipment replacement.
Thanks.

I know this is for Dish TV service but was wondering if anyone has gone from Verizon to the Dish Boost Mobile cell phone service and would you recommend it.

Well, i posted on another forum of a problem i was having. The 12000 transponder on 101ku has their AC3 signal whacked out. Been like that for awhile. My high end Audio receiver has much more pronounced glitches because it resets the audio when the glitch comes through. It's so annoying that i cannot listen to it. I figured out that if i turn on AC3 down-mix for the channels on the transponder, the audio glitches are resolved within the satellite receiver and sends a clean AC3 signal to the audio receiver. Now, there are still glitches, but its not very noticeable and am able to listen without being annoyed.
The problem is, its a pain to remember, oh for this channel i need AC3 pass-thru off, and this on, and run through the remote commands to enable/disable. I want 99.9% of the channels to be AC3 down-mix OFF. Only for the channels on this transponder do i want it On. Remedy. I wrote a E2 plugin that is very user friendly that i set the default mode, and then add the channels that i want opposite the default value, and the satellite receiver automatically turns AC3 down-mix on/off. Of course, its smart enough to only change the setting if it needs to.

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 new to Satelliteguys so let me give my perspective on Shaw TV reception from someone living in S. Indiana (about latitude 38.9). I have 4 800 series receivers (so all signals go through a multiswitch) and a 75 cm dish. I recently bought a signal meter, SATLINK WS-6933, but have been unable to measure a meaningful signal with it as the Quality Signal measures 0. Perhaps it's my meter settings or perhaps the incoming satellite signal is too weak. I believe it's the later. In any case, I typically measure the incoming signal by taking a Shaw box and a TV outside positioned next to the dish. If there are no adverse weather conditions, the typical signal level is 60 to 70 and EcbNo is 6.0 to 6.5. All strong enough to give me a decent picture. Below signal level 60, my picture starts fading in and out. On a bad weather day (rain, thunderstorms (not uncommon here), snow, etc.) the signal level typically drops below 60 thus no TV. My cable run for all TVs is about 100 yards from dish to TV and my signal loss seems to be minimal as I'll get similar readings at the dish and at the TV.
So, with that as background, I have 2 questions:
1. To boost the signal level, I'm considering replacing my dish for a larger dish, say 90 cm or 120 cm. I currently have an LNB, Shaw 75E-G1(T000409), so designed specifically to be used with a 75 cm dish. When I noticed my signal level decreasing, about 1 year ago, I replaced the LNB with a brand new one and saw no improvement in the signal level. Would this LNB still work with a larger dish? If so, are there any special adjustments that I would need to make in order to get it working? I know others have larger dishes, as one of the threads mentions someone in Denver with a 2.4m dish so there must be a way to make it work. Any advice on this would be appreciated.
2. To be sure my WS-6933 meter is set correctly, any advice on how to set all of the settings?
Sorry for the long post. Thanks in advance for all input.
