We have three TVs, one on the Hopper3, one each on Wireless Joeys. The two on Joeys are both Samsung sets, one is 65" about 14 years old, the other 48" probably 8 or 9 years old.
Both sets were set up with HDMI/CEC. The usage I had was that when the TV was turned off, if I pressed the SAT button on the side of the remote, both the TV and the Joey (if in standby) would turn on. If the set was on and the TV was changed to an alternate input, ie, HDMI3 for Roku, pressing SAT would return the TV's input back to SAT (HDMI1).
When we moved to our new house and Dish relocated the system, the configuration (using the same TV and Joey) of the 48" set lost the HDMI/CEC mode and the SAT button now only controls which box the remote communicates with. If the tv is on one of the other inputs, pressing SAT changes the remote but does not change the TV back to the STB HDMI1. All control of power of the TV is using the power button only, and all input changes to go back to HDMI1 must be done manually.
Suddenly now, the other set, 65" Samsung, has also inherited this attribute. I don't know what happened or if I did anything but the 65" which would switch back from Roku to SAT by just pressing the SAT button, stopped working. Same as the other set - only the power button turns on the TV and no other HDMI/CEC modes work. It's strange because the 48" set started off that way, but the 65" set survived the move and was working.
I've reset the Joeys and reconfigured the TVs to be sure that HDMI/CEC is enabled. The "net" suggests turning CEC OFF then powering off the TV then powering it back on and finally enabling CEC. Didn't change anything. I toggled CEC mode on the JOEY (why is it an attribute of the remote? That makes no sense). Did the same thing - turned CEC off. unpaired remote, removed batteries, replaced batteries, paired remote, enabled CEC. Still nothing...
Ideas?
Is the use of the SAT button to do a "master power on" no longer supported?
PS. The set attached directly to the Hopper3 (not sure what it is) continues to work fine.

Just went through the process again.
Initial conditions: Watching DVR recording on 65" set with Wireless Joey.
Set remote to TV and use input button to change to Roku.
Mess around with Roku remote looking for James Bond movies
Press SAT button which used to return remote to SAT mode and switch TV to SAT HDMI input. Doesn't work.
The only way to get the SAT input was to go back to TV on remote, use input to select HDMI1 and go back to SAT button on remote...
This sequence worked fine until a few weeks ago.

Please try this, assume all units are turned off and you have CEC set up for all devices. Now pick up your Dish remote. Press Power, your Dish receiver should turn on as well as the TV and the TV should switch to the HDMI input that the Dish receiver is plugged into. Now press the Power button on the Dish remote and the TV should shut off and the Dish receiver should turn off after about 90 seconds (this is normal for theDish receiver.) After all is shut down pick up your Roku remote and press the Power button. Your Roku should turn on as well as the TV and the TV should change to the HDMI input that the Roku is plugged into. Roku is unusual in that you can't press the power button to turn it off. You have to wait for 20 minutes of inactivity for it to shut itself down (provided you have that set up in the Roku settings. Perhaps that is why you are using both remotes.Just went through the process again.

HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
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 remember this in the news too...

$14,000 spent on rented rotary phone
A widow rented a rotary dial telephone for 42 years, paying what her family calculates as more than $14,000 for a now- outdated phone.

That is a misnomer. In the old days you subscribed to telephone service. That included the telephone line and one telephone. An extension cost $1 a month extra. So that $14,000 over 42 years was for the service not the leased telephone. There is no way they paid $28 a month for 42 years for a leased telephone.I remember this in the news too...

I haven't posted in almost 17 years. Over the air, sat, offline, anything-but-the-internet is still one of my avid pursuits. Been playing with offline tv viewing and offline web browsing. I have great appreciations for this site still being here. It's so hard to find public communities that haven't sold out to social media company.

Hello folks, well my luck ran out last week with a nasty thunderstorm and after 39 years here, finally took a hit. Now, the FTA receivers I had for some years worked great until now. Recently picked up a fairly cheap receiver, online, KOQIT and seems to be good, but for the life of me, I cannot get the HDMI output to work with 3 of my Samsung monitors. I can hook it up to my Samsung TV and its HDMI input and it works fine. The 2 receivers I lost also worked fine with them, so am I going crazy? anyone have come across this or have any suggestions? And, since this is a somewhat cheap unit but works, what is everyone out there using for receivers these days? without breaking the bank? I enjoy watching FTA TV, so I will invest more if needed, what is a really good, detailed unit these days. I'm so use to watching a few of them HD channels. Right now I'm down to composite hookups, yuck! Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Frank

Take the cover off, show me pics of the board of the bad one and also the bottom of the board. I'm an old hardware electronics tech plus a satellite dealer; I fixed a lot of FTA and regular receivers. I may be able to fix it for you. And yes, they got hit by lightning; it's best to email me the pics at diamondsatellite@snet.net or call me at 203-232-8888. I give you a 50-50 chance of fixing it; I do have spare parts. my phone is a fliptop phoneHello folks, well my luck ran out last week with a nasty thunderstorm and after 39 years here, finally took a hit.

Now that I'm retired, obviously I have different health care insurance. I take 2 prescriptions. With my old insurance I didn't have to pay for either of them, now I do. It's not a huge amount but it led me to dig a little into the cost of prescription medications. I have been using Walgreens for the longest time. But what I found was that Walgreens price is 4.8 times more for one of my prescriptions and the other is 2.3 percent more compared to the lowest price pharmacy. If you pay for prescription medications you might want to have a look at trumprx and see if you can get a lower price.

Actually I take just 2 prescriptions, Atorvastatin and Lisinopril. They cost me $6 each for 100 pills. Next year that will be nothing.That's ok. I probably take enough for the two of us.
God knows what Bobby takes. Maybe so much they count as a meal?
