Here is an update to a very old thread. I have been missing only the 540-01 channel for a couple of years. Recently added the Houston local channels via the Dish Chat on the website.
The missing 540-01channel showed up after the local were addend. Any idea what fixed the problem?
I now have 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, and 07.
Nice watching the World Cup in 4K.
thx
Scott

Charter-
Video customers decreased by 21,000 in the second quarter and 172,000 for Internet.
The broadband losses are actually quite bad for both Comcast/Charter, since that is the more profitable part of their business.

Maybe Cable companies should rethink their strategy to attract new customers and to keep them. The old plan of announcing new fees for things you never had before after you subscribe and hiking the price every 6 months to a year is not working. Or they could continue to circle down the drain till they go under. At this point I don't really care as long as there is competition that can provide you with their services at lower prices.

A skinny bundle with minimal fees would probably get them a few more years, but the corporate conglomerates that own the networks won't allow it. They're going to milk every penny out of 3 FXs, 6 MTVs, 7 ESPNs...all playing content available on Pluto.

When I bought my new 96 Geo Metro a stereo was optional. I declined as I worked at Radio Shack and had a 'big pimpin' stereo and speakers I could put in instead 
I'm so old i remember when auto trans and A/C were options tape players were options as well as cd players. i think even the rug on the floor was an option i think. you could get a ford escort for 5 to 6 k stripped with a stick shifter. and with all of this self driving BS coming just think what will hapen when you miss a payment it will drive itself back to the lot.
Your not that old ... if your saying A/C was an option.I'm so old i remember when auto trans and A/C were options tape players were options as well as cd players. i think even the rug on the floor was an option i think. you could get a ford escort for 5 to 6 k stripped with a stick shifter. and with all of this self driving BS coming just think what will hapen when you miss a payment it will drive itself back to the lot.
I remember when there was no A/C option ...
Do you remember when you had to hand crank the windows (I'm sure you do).
i remember these things

So you bought a xxxxbox that came with no radio as standard equipment( Geo - a collaboration, or should i say an abomimation between Chevy and Suzuki)and want to hold it up as a typical standard vehicle of the era?When I bought my new 96 Geo Metro a stereo was optional.

Oh man, I remember helping my dad over several weekends Installing an air conditioner unit ( add-on between center hump and bottom of the dashboard on our 65 Buick stationwagon which we were going to be driving 1000 miles east in the summer to visit Washington D. C. The unit gmhad a pre-cook period before you could crank it up . Even with only 2 little vents in the front seat of the car us kids GREATLY appreciated it.i remember these things

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.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.
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.

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....

Yes, a much better start to the season than last. With a Whovian reference, too!
Loved this episode. Not only had time travel, but they were instrumental in the death of the dinosaur and an explosion that takes out the 5th planet that is now the asteroid belt and lead to the orbit of Mars moving further out away from the sun, sealing its fate as a dead planet in our time. So the Enterprise was always supposed to go back 65 million years. So much for the prime directive in this situation. 
The bend-your-brain part was the not only was the Enterprise always supposed to go back 65m years, but that it always had.Loved this episode.

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?

That's good. What time is dinner? Do you want me to bring anything?
I have a question. I am having jittering/stuttering across the entire TP spectrum. I'm seeing it at 4060 and 4100 and even higher. Is this a normal thing. I would have thought you would only see it on the lower frequencies closer to what was taken from Cband a few years back. This problem crept up about 3-4 months ago, and before i just throw money at the problem by investing in a filtered LNBF, i want to do a bit of checks and balance with you folk.
My stuttering appears as often as every 20-30 seconds and sometimes it doesn't happen but every 20 minutes or so. I seem to have solid locks on the signal. This is on a smaller 8' Solid Cband dish. I swapped out a different LNBF. Same result.
If the advice is to get a new filtered LNBF, would I be looking at the Titanium RED or BLUE band pass filter?
