I've read a couple different threads about problems with the tv2 remote but none that quite fit the issue I am having.

I've had this machine for over a year now with no problems with the tv2 remote. It stopped working last night (or recently, in any case... it had been a few days since I used tv2).

Tried new batteries, no luck. I read one thread about a couple people suspecting it was caused by heat issues in the reciever, so I left it unplugged overnight (and the machine actually doesn't seem to get too hot anyway). Still no luck. Tried the other usual suspects -- reset, check switch, etc. Still no luck.

As an aside, about a month ago I had this happen to another 522 that we have. I unplugged it for a few minutes and it started working again - haven't had a problem since. But as I said that isn't working on the machine with the current problem.

Any ideas? Any way this could have something to do with a recent software update?

When I was having issues with mine. I used a splitter in reverse, sent the remote antenna through the coax to where the tv2 is at, used another splitter and attached the antenna to that and I have not had a problem since. I know that is not the proper way to do it. But I didn't want to spend the 20 bucks on the proper equipment when this worked.

My problem is it simply will not work at all. I can be standing right in front of the 522 box and pointing the tv2 remote right at it and it still won't work.

For what it's worth I finally figured out the problem. As many of you may know (but I did not), if you hold down the "sat" key on the remote for a few seconds the remote goes into a mode where you can program in an address that must be matched on the 522 system info screen for the tv2 remote to work. I think someone must have accidentally messed up the remote address. I found a remote manual on the dish site and followed the proceedure to set the address again, and it works fine now.

Well that was going to be what I told you to try after reading your other posts. But glad to see you got it figured out.

Washington Post

SpaceX has held talks with Boost's parent company EchoStar in recent months about launching its own signature wireless service through a deal with the company, according to two people familiar with the negotiations.
Musk, the SpaceX CEO, has discussed the deal personally, meeting with EchoStar chairman Charlie Ergen last month, according to the people. The potential deal may result in SpaceX acquiring Boost Mobile or SpaceX gaining access to its network, which it leases from AT&T and T-Mobile US, the people said.
Access to those lease agreements would be a coup for SpaceX. The back door would allow Musk to make a play for a U.S. wireless market that equity research firm MoffettNathanson estimates is worth $235 billion. But the proposed service may need consent from those carriers for the service to actually launch, the people said.

Can't remember where or who I saw predict this. :D

It wouldn't surprise me to see Elon soon own all of DISH / Echostar in the future.

Again, why would Musk want a TV Service, specially one that is losing over a million subscribers a year.

Phone service…maybe, but not TV.

I know he wants TV. He wants to deliver EVERYTHING to EVERYWHERE.

Again, if so, why would he want Dish/Sling of all the providers?

He could deliver anything without actually owning, for example, watching the Lions game in my Tesla Y on it's screen via the YT app, while on the way to my future in-laws on Sunday.

If Musk really wants to buy Boost, he might get a great price once Dish Wireless is out of Chapter 11.

Boost just lost 182,000 subs in the 3rd quarter-

Is Dish like Iran in one way...they both will totally collapse by end of week :)
Foxbat
Other than the price, my experience with Boost is not that different than what I experienced with my years with Cricket. I will be curious to see what happens if SpaceX takes the reins.

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....

Rodney Dangerfield is great. One of his best one liners - "My wife likes to talk to me during sex, last night she called me from Florida!"

Jackie Gleason is another one of the greats.
