My year was almost up and we got the new bill for a year of service for $ 360.00 insane sat radio is becoming like cable!!! i logged into my acct and hopped onto chat and told the rep that i wanted to cancel. she understood my concern and went quiet for a few minutes. i figured that she was canceling my service. she comes back and said that she seen that i have been a sub since 07 and then offers me the same package for a year for 120.00 with taxes and fee's!!! i grabbed it. after almost having a stroke :biggrin

They keep moving good channels off the satellite and tell you to stream instead. They should move Stern to streaming. I never cared for the guy. Opie and Anthony were far better as was Don Imus IMO.

Over 23 years now and we still subscribe to SiriusXM and still get a discounted rate every 5-6 months. I still don't have a credit card on file and am happy to pay the $2 invoice fee to not keep a card on file. We would't have started with SiriusXM that long ago had it not been for SatelliteGuys. I bought my first Sirius receiver when someone here offered them for sale. JVC KT-SR1000

I still have my original Sirius boom box with associated car dock from 2003, before satellite radio receivers became pretty much standard in all new cars. It still shows on my account as being inactive but still receives all the channels. The receiver has been largely dormant all these years and hasn't received a deactivation hit yet. I bust it out every once and a while to see if its still working. The phone app and bluetooth speakers basically made it obsolete.

I just recently brought my old Delphi Skyfi from 2002 to e-waste. I would take it out during the FREE activation events to reminisce. The last time I tried it the radio wouldn't work any more.

I watched some of the OKC Texas game on dvr this afternoon while visiting my mom. I had set it to record the season for her, but she has trouble with using the dvr and barely can use the live guide. Usually softball is the first suggestion YTTV puts up when she clicks the tile though, so it works well enough for her.

Did some research and found at least 1 Nextstar's station that's is carrys Fox Weather channel along with the main FOX TV Network.

Just maybe if Nextstar's station KRQE-DT to carry Fox Weather channel on 13.2 on August 1st?

FOX Weather is only on Fox owned stations per rabbitears

yes there are some translators that do. But those are mainly in MN and carry the whole FOX mux from Minneapolis

It looks like everyone is selling GeosatPRO 1.2M here in the US. Are they any good? Are there any alternatives? I had my eye on a Patriot 1.2 from Ricks a while back but those are long gone now. I'd consider used if its in good shape. I know shipping is going to be brutal.

Yes. If you have a truck it would probably be worth driving to the SatelliteAV warehouse in California to pick one up.

You will need an HH120 to move it, which is not easy to find. Rick's sells a motor that's supposed to work with it, but doesn't.

Can Not Add Locals

zippyfrog said:
Actually, I can't seem to add the locals back to my account to check right now - when I go to add it and I submit the changes, it shows that I have added 1802 local channels (the whole country) and nothing happens. Something must be wrong with their website.

This is what happens to me. I came back to DISH about two months ago and have the Top 200 without locals and of course am under a two year commitment. I thought it would be interesting to add locals, at least for a month (hopefully could drop them if disappointed). I am getting a signal of about 65 on both 110 and 119.
I have tried three times over the past week to add locals through the MY Dish web site (on the computer). I get a quote of how much the bill will go up and then hit "submit changes". I then see on the screen, "check out these sweet 1800 channels". I wish! Nothing ever happens. I have done a "update guide" and "reset receiver" through diagnostics/ tools and even unplugged the Hopper for half an hour.
I also think it would be standard practice to send an email when a customer makes a programming change, but I have received none. I guess I don't feel it is worth having to call or chat and am writing it off as "sour grapes" but am still curious as to what may be wrong.
Since I am under a contract, am I forbidden from making any programming changes, or woiuld I loose my "new customer" promotions if I were to add and then delete locals? It would all be useful information for anyone in such a situation.

Call the DISH number and talk to a CSR and ask them to add your locals. Fastest way is to ask for TECH department and tell them your issue and I am sure that they can add them and tell you when to expect them in your guide.

What is the best price for the locals. Under contract with the 200 package. I went to add the locals. The price was $14.00 minus a $2.00 discount. I was just pricing but did not subscribe. My new contract is up 8/17. Has any done better upon contract renewal.
I don't have a problem using the module until the fall season starts. It's a battle between me and my wife. Guess who wins.

WiFi Device Connection to Router Question

My pellet grill WiFi (2.4 & 5G) will only connect to my router by using guest mode. My router is a two-year old TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro 3 pack mesh. This is the first issue I've had with this router. Pellet grill company says it must be something in my router blocking the normal connection. No one else is having this issue. Does anyone have a clue what setting in my router could be blocking the signal to my router the normal way but yet the guest mode works?

Wifi stuff can be so persnickety. For example, I have a tablet that I use only for viewing my outdoor cameras. Today, one of the cameras was not showing up. I diagnosed for about an hour, resetting the router, the tablet, and the camera, etc. I finally realized that for some reason the tablet had connected to the router at 2.4 ghz. It usually connects at 5 ghz., the preferred.

So, I reconnected it at 5 ghz and the troublesome camera showed up. I have no idea why. The camera itself is only capable of 2.4 ghz., not that it should matter.

Yes... seems odd that it requires a "guest" network.
Perhaps the WPA/Security is a bit different on a guest network.

I actually had a similar odd problem with 3 of my LG appliances.
After working for a couple of years, suddenly none of them would connect.
I tried all of the various suggestions... 2.4Ghz only, no special characters in the password, etc..

I ended up having to delete the app from my phone, re-adding it, and then deleting all of the appliance profiles from the app and installing them as new.
Once I did all of that, they reconnected fine.
