OTA no working after Update

My OTA is not working anymore. This started after the latest update. I have the OTA dongle with a OTA antenna that I've been using for years. My hopper does not recognize the dongle anymore and when I go to the OTA setting, it has a screen that says to plug a dongle into the USB. I tried unplugging and plugging back, in the same usb port and other ports. The Hopper does not recognize it. Anyone have same issue?

I'm having the same issue. It all started with the latest update. Mine would randomly reboot, picture would jump in and out and it totally crashed my OTA channels. I called dish tech and after an hour on the phone they shipped me a replacement hopper 3. Hopefully it works..

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....

Volcanic Eruptions

Continuing the Kilauea thread in the Pub here. Perhaps the Iceland one too next time there's remarkable activity.

Currently there is precursory lava flowing into the crater, leading to the next episode that'll probably start within the next day.

You can see the pace of inflation / deflation here. It serves as the primary predictor for when the expect the eruptions, which coincide w/ inflation turning into significant deflation and last for several hours on average with significant fountaining.

Monitoring Data for Kīlauea

For more information on how electronic tiltmeters and GPS receivers help monitor the deformation of Kīlauea volcano, see the HVO Deformation page.

According to Google A.I.:

Why the bankruptcy Increases the chance for a new deal with TPG and DISH merging.

Clearing the Debt Roadblock: DISH entered court with a Restructuring Support Agreement (RSA) already backed by 88%of it's noteholders. This "prepackaged" status allows the company to use bankruptcy court to legally bind dissenting creditors and forcibly restructure approximately $10 billion in debt.

Creating a Clean Target: Dish plans to exit bankruptcy rapidly, targeting emergence by the end of Quarter 3 of 2026. A streamlined debt-reduced DISH pay-TV business makes for an incredibly attractive merger target for TPG and DIRECTV.

TPG's Solo positioning : TPG Capital is already moving forward with a separate deal to acquire ATT's remaining 70% stake in DIRECTV to assume 100% ownership. Once TPG fully controls DIRECTV, they will have total flexibility to make a clean, post-bankruptcy bid for DISH remaining 4.8 million satellite subscribers.

I read that nothing is to change for Dish subscribers, but to make sure, we won't have to get DirectTV equipment will we? It sucks compared to the Hopper 3. Hopper 3 beats youtubetv interface big time also.

Dish network will never merge with Directv. Dish tried buying Directv in early 2000 but George Bush adminstration blocked it. One time Directv had over 24 million customers now maybe 7 to 8 million. Dish had 15 million now less than 5 million. No one ordedring satellite TV.
Only seniors like me keeping it. Both will keep loosing customers. Echostar houston tracker and they made very good receiver back in the 80s and the best DBS receivers including hopper.

Dish could market this in their favor. With the cost of streaming services going up and they need to switch from app to app, with the advent of android OS and the hopper equipment, dish has taken away some of that pain by centralizing everything on one device, with one remote where you can still stream watch, live TV and record whatever you want, whenever you want and view all the content from anywhere with an Internet connection

Who cares, when the majority of content on that all in one service is reruns, which are available for free on the Pluto TV type services.

I am glad to switch from app to app for new programming, along with the better video/sound quality.

For example, can you receive CBS shows in 4K on Dish ( or other services)….nope, but you can on Paramount+.

Not many care about the Hopper, if they did, Dish would not be under 5 million subscribers and still losing subs, as reported every quarter.

Plasma was absolutely fantastic, I retired my LG last year (25 years old) when the control board died and couldn't find another. The OLED replacement is good and much bigger and has a bunch of HMDI ports (no more DVI converters)

But its true the blacks might not be quite as good but at least I don't need to crank up the air in that room anymore.

FM translator / no AM signal

How long can an AM station run their FM translator with the parent AM signal off of the air?
KAMA 750 in EL Paso, TX has been off of the air for over two weeks now. They continue to broadcast on the 92.7 translator and cite the AM 750 and FM K224FC frequencies near the top of the hour. (The station is owned by KBNA 97.5 and the FM translator is not listed on the FCC web site).
For a little background on this station, for over 20 years "Hit 104.3" originated here in El Paso but leased a transmitter in Juarez, Mexico. This has been a common arrangement in this area for many years. Evidently earlier this year they lost the lease for the Mexican facility and moved the operation ( with some minor programming changes) to long time Spanish broadcaster KAMA and it's relatively new FM translator.
Over the past couple of years I have tried to listen to KAMA's Sunday oldies show in English after it was discontinued on El Paso's only "Classic Hits" station. The audio on KAMA was always very distorted and the 250 watt FM translator is hard to tune in as it is sandwiched in between two 100K watt blowtorches on 92.3 and 93.1. The 750 AM signal seemed to improve a bit and at 10K watts I was able to listen to it half way to Carlsbad, NM on a recent trip. However, I doubt that very many of their listeners use the AM signal.
I have my doubts that this operation can survive which would be a shame as there are so few radio stations here that even announce in English. It does make for an interesting situation for this long time radio enthusiast.

The FCC lists K224FC as a translator for KVIV 1340, so there's a certain amount of funny business going on with an apparent rebranding.

KAMA's Internet stream is working just fine in the interim and probably offers better AQ than the broadcast outlets.

Thanks for looking that up Harshness. I had just seen no translators listed for KAMA. If the information for K224FC is still correct they only have 99 watts. No wonder it is so hard to tune in even on a digital car radio. I also do not believe the location coordinates given on the FCC site are correct as that takes me to an abandoned industrial site that is nothing but a large dirt field.
If they want to be an internet radio station that is just fine but they should not be taking up the publics airwaves using false information and an almost unusable signal.

Some just can't drag themselves into the 21st century, or they don't have access to streaming.

There's probably also an expectation coming from advertisers that they're getting out on all media.

The Evolution Of Hot Dogs

I love a good hot dog every once in a while. I try to keep it simple and traditional though. True to my NY roots mustard and sauerkraut is a favorite. Onions in red sauce is another, although that's hard to find around here in NM. Even Chicago dogs with that neon green relish is a treat. But recently "gourmet" hot dogs seem to be the fad. I'm the kind of guy that will try just about anything. But here's the problem. There's too much of it. I used to grab a "dirty water dog" off a cart with a Coke in NYC and be on the move. You could eat one of those when you were walking no problem. These "gourmet" dogs have so much on them. And they are swimming in sauce that they squirt on them in a squiggly fashion. if you try to pick them up it makes a mess. Or worse, half of it winds up on your clothes or the ground. I want my hot dog to be portable. Not something I have to sit down and eat with a knife and fork. Maybe I'm just old fashioned. But in my humble opinion this is way overdone.

As for KOAT-DT they may have to kick one diginet out to make room for CBS-HD on 7.2 or bitstarved on one or more diginets!

I did a 2-year price-lock agreement with Dish about 2 weeks ago. So, it'll be interesting to see how the price increases affect that. I've been with Dish for 29 years. I thought it was less than that, but yep, since '97.

I'm 12 mos into a price lock, I'm paying $50/mo and not sure it's worth that! Will reevaluate in 12 mos but likely cancelling.

I remember back when I cancelled my Dish service at home a few years ago....they guy looked at my acct and said he had never seen an account as old as mine...he was really shocked. Offered me all kinds of stuff to stay active but by that time I has stopped watching Fox News and most of the stuff we watched we could stream.
