Dish Anywhere Questions

I just heard about this Dish Anywhere. I have a Hopper in the living room, a Joey in the basement, and antenna tv in the bed room. As I understand it I can get rid of my Joey I could save a few bucks but that tv and the bedroom tv are not smart tv's. How would I handle that? If with a Firestick what remote would I use or would I have to use 2 of them? I have good internet with starlink so wifi wouldn't be a problem. If someone could guide me to a link that a old man could understand I would appreciate it.

Rambling about picture quality.

Satellite channels with the Joey 4 look better on the old 65 LG oled than with the Hopper 3 on the newer Sony 77 oled.

I don't have a Hopper Plus.

Maybe the satellite picture quality with the Hopper Plus would be better than the Hopper 3 satellite box?

Trying streaming from Dish Anywhere app to see if the stream is better than sat.

Picture using Dish Anywhere on my latest Apple TV 4K box on the channel I'm watching started out alternating between fuzzy and clear.

The picture stabilized after a few minutes.

I have an old Apple TV HD connected to and big older TV.

I had to remove Dish Anywhere application and reinstall it to get it working on the old TV with the Apple TV HD.

I hooked up a Google box to a non oled 43 inch LG 4K set.

The Google box Dish Anywhere combination looks and works great.

Wonder what the picture quality will be with a wireless Joey 4 for the satellite chanels?

The Hopper3 outputs 1080i unless the content requires 1080P or 2160P (4K)
The Plus and the Joey4s upscale all content to 2160P, and also flag the content as HDR regardless of the actual color profile. How the TV will handle that depends on the HDMI setting.

So, it's possible that the difference you are seeing is related to the upscaling performance, or the possible HDR settings on your TV.

This information makes me want to try a Plus or Joey4 on my newer 77 Sony oled to see if the picture is better.

I wonder if the Wireless Joey 4 will output to my 32 inch QHD (2K) computer monitor?

I once hooked up an Apple TV box to my computer monitor and it worked I think.

I don't know what resolution the Apple TV was sending to the computer monitor.

I'm very pleased with the picture from the Joey4 on my TV.

The satellite channels picture quality from the Hopper 3 on my newer 77 Sony oled could be better.

Perhaps the satellite channels being output 1080i?

Maybe it is the large screen size?

I am not sure why the picture seems a little less good from the Hopper 3 on my newer 77 Sony oled?

I have tried the Joey4 on an older 43 inch 4K LG non oled that doesn't do HDR.

Joey4 is great!!!

Can't wait to get the Wireless Joey 4.

Maybe a Plus or Joey4 newer would look better on my 77 inch TV?

Thank you for your help.

Sony uses LG OLED Display panels but the electronics makes the difference in the processing of the signal.

As for Dish Anywhere, your speed is the full WiFi/Ethernet speed at home so it's giving maximum bandwidth available and should still be good on the iPhone when at home. When you are using an external connection, it is limited by the upload speeds of your internet connection depending what you have. For me, I have 1.4Gbps download but 42Mbps upload and of course DISH Anywhere does not use the full 42Mbps either.

About the Sony. This is correct.

Models change and companies change every year sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, but Sony has generally been good.

I think there was a Sony oled one year that used a Samsung panel and may have been great.

I think TCL is going to start making stuff for Sony.

I just ordered a Hopper Plus but I will be hesitant to use it because of the greater complexity having to have one more thing plugged into my Hopper 3.

I don't know how the Hopper Plus will affect the picture quality.

With the Hopper Plus plugged into the Hopper 3 it will be every hole filled.

I don't know which one of the three USB ports I should plug the Hopper Plus into?

On the bright side with the Hopper Plus I should be able to view and control Google Home on my big screen.

For Dish Anywhere I am sure network/internet connection is important.

You can get a USB Hub and plug it into one of the rear USB ports and expand on your inputs without using the USB port on the front of your Hopper 3.

I recommend the USB hub be self powered. Gives you options to add unpowered EHDs without concern about stressing your internal power supply.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

My Wife was recently in an antique store and saw a rotary desk phone and it had one of those sticker overlays that had a business listed with phone number under each number on the dial. She looked closer and it had my old Radio Shack listed under the 8...she bought it. Pretty cool keepsake. Back then I rented vhs movies as well so I had it listed as Radio Shack / Movie Gallery and then the phone number.

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.

Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson had an argument about who was responsible for the dynasty building of the early 90's Cowboys.

The rest of us figured it out in about 3 years, Jerry has had over 30 years but still can't admit it. It's all he lives for, to show everyone he can put together a winner. I don't think he can. His kids only know what he taught them.

Week Six Balls and Goats and WTH is Going On in The NFL??

Browns. 1st place in the North. Yup. Believe it or not

Chiefs. Undefeated.

Titans. Won a game ! .... Colts I know, but still.

Saints. Won a game after a while.

Steelers. Having the same season they always have. They somehow find wins on their way to an unceremonial 1st round exit. Mike Tomlin is proud.

Cards. Won a game without scoring a single touchdown

Broncos. How they manage to win games with the dogshit offense they have should be studied.

Bears. Caleb's back and so is their mojo.


Goats

NFC East. For the 2nd straight week no team from this clown show of a division won a game. Eagles are cooked without Hurts. Who's not that good anyway. Commanders suck, Dallas is well ..... Dallas and the Giants have no QB.

Ravens. Lamar is out (as usual). But still. Losing to the Browns is never ok.

Chargers. Still can't win.

Rams. So much for the powerhouse team. They are 2 games under .500

Seattle. Lost to the offenseless Broncos.

Jimmy Johnson is a football guy. Jerry Jones is a marketer (hustler).

When I see a football player get a 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct (like taunting) in a close game, I often wonder what he was thinking. Was he thinking, I'm doing everything I can to make this a better team and help win a championship? Or, was he saying to himself, I want everyone to notice how great I am?

Johnson inspires one, Jones the other.

KOQIT receivers

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 :rolleyes:

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 phone

For 105W C, you scan in the Westwood tp normally. Then select the audio channel you want. Not necessary to manually enter. On 101W, you must manually enter.

Prescription drug costs

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.

I run them through several different providers to see who has the lowest cost

Usually it's Walmart or Sam's + GoodRx

Also...

Homepage of Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs

Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug homepage. Provides safe, affordable medicine or medication with transparent low prices.

You can also price them through the CareCard and WellRx apps.

Sometimes Amazon Pharmacy is cheapest.

TrumpRx?!?

I went on Medicare recently (not an "advantage" plan) and my prescriptions at HyVee were very low out of pocket. The clerk said she was putting them on "Good Rx".

I take 10mg Rosuvastatin (Crestor). I was paying $34 for a 90day supply at Walgreens last year when I was on Blue Cross. My Blue Cross premiums were going up to $1800 a month this year, so I switched to an Ambetter Bronze plan (I think that's a Cigna company) for $825 a month. I now have a $40 copay for doctors visits which is fine as I usually only see them once or twice a year, so a huge cost savings. My Rosuvastatin was going to go up to around $90 for a 90 day supply at Walgreens and even more at CVS or one of the local family pharmacies. Ordering online thru my insurance portal from Express Scripts it's $0.74 for a 90 day supply.

I'm fortunate and don't take any medications. A couple years ago I had to take some antibiotics and used the GoodRx app. Went to Walmart and the person behind the desk knew me and told me to just buy them outright....the GoodRx price was a LOT higher. She said they aren't supposed to tell customers when they see they are being screwed.
