Equipment: Sony 32inch Bravia (model KDL-V32XBR1).and Echostar sat. receiver model DP301. I am waiting for new MPEG4 to be available, to add to this TV.
Location: in entertainment center located in unheated Florida room. here in Florida it has been cool last couple of weeks so morning temp. is about 50, warming to 70's later
in day.
Problem: This has been happening since I bought TV in early NOV. Problem is more noticeable in cool weather, but happens even in warm weather. The DP 301 is located on shelf about 6 inches below the TV. When I turn on the Bravia, my remote E* 1.5IR (113268) is unable to control the DP301. The remote is working because I can control Tv with it, change channels on OTA locals, change volume, mute and other functions. I CANNOT control the DP301, can't power off,can't change channels, can't bring up guide, can't do info. I
cannot do any function on the 301. Front panel buttons on 301 do work. After the TV has been on from about 5 minutes to 30 minutes everything works fine.
Trouble shooting technique:
1 st step: when problem is on machine I turn off Bravia, hit guide button on remote and turn tv back on, I have the quide up. I change channels with tv off and 301 changes channel ok. so remote is controling the 301 when tv is off.
2nd step: I got out old E* 3900 receiver and replaced 301 with it. Guess what same thing happens. Can't control the 3900 when tv is turned on. I also hooked up small portable tv to RF out on sat. recievers, so I could see what was happening when I had Bravia turned off.
3rd step: I moved the Sat. receivers away from Bravia. when I get the receivers about 3 to 4 feet away from the Bravia, everything works fine. Needless to say the receivers are not in the entertainment center anymore.
4th step: I bring from living room my E* 811 HD receiver and place it 6 inches below the Bravia in the entertaiment center. Everything works fine.
Conclusion: when I turn on the Bravia it is emmiting some kind of blocking signal that is jamming the Infared remote pickup electronics in the 3900 and 301. The 811 works fine because it is a UHF remote.
Oddity: temp. has an effect. when room is 50 the Bravia has to be on up to 30 minutes before sat. remote starts to work, when warm in room only about 5 minutes. When tv has been on for a couple of hours and turned off and right back on problem does not show up. Have to leave tv turned off about 15 minutes.
I know there is a wealth of knowledge on this forum so here are my
Questions
#1 anyone heard of this problem? any idea what componet would be bad in Bravia?
#2 do all Bravia's do this, is it a engineering problem in the TV
#3 is it a problem in E* IR remote systems not being shielded right or something
I believe the answers to 2 and 3 are no or I could find something on internet about this problem if other people were having it.
At first I thought I would just live with it as I would be putting a 411 on this Tv when it is available, but other day when reading about the 411, I see it is an IR remote machine. So I may have same problem with it.
Looking for many advice anyone can give me.
I know when I call SONY WARRANTY on this one they are going to think I am nuts, hope I can get them to come look at it.
Thanks for any input.

Last night when I was reading through the manual, I ran across the page about the light sensor.
I had forgotten about that but did not think I had turned it ON. I checked this morning and it was on. So I used the menu to change it to OFF. I think, that has helped solve the problem a lot. Though when I first turn the TV on my E* remote still will not work but within about a minute it will. I do not believe my tv is trying to control some other remote. I can find nothing in book about that. I can set the SONY remote to control my SONY DVR and my E* receiver. The SONY remote will not control my sat. receiver until the tv has been powerd on a minute or so. Same problem as with the E* remote.
I still believe I still have the same problem when I first turn on tv but it clears up quicker with light sensor off.
I will try the camera trick, I never heard of that. Do I have to take a picture or just watch thru view finder.

It is amazing what you can learn on this forum. Thanks for the input.

Just look at the lcd display on your camera, recheck the settings for that light sensor and see if there is more than one option for it such as off, qucik set, normal, you get the idea.
M
the light sensor setting has ON and OFF only.

by the way this morning after set being off all night and room chilly about 50, I turned tv on, in less than 2 minutes the E* remote would work. Up until I turned off light sensor, it would be at least ten to fifteen minutes before it would work. So turning light sensor off, has helped, have not tried camera trick yet, going away for couple of days. You all have a nice Christmas

dishnett remote interferance with samsung LCD tV

I just bought samsung LCD TV, and noticed that my dishnet remote started acting crazy sometimes it will work and sometimes it will not work, have wait some time to press button on the remote to work.

Finally came across this post, which certanly helped me to figure out that the automatic sensor may be ON, today when I go home I will check for it and see after turning it OFF (the sensor). Dishenet remote works good or not.

I had the same problem with my 26" Bravia and the Dish 6000. It started all of a sudden. Couldn't control the 6000.:mad: It stopped when I bought a Dish 411 to replace the 6000!!

I did try 1 thing and tried changing the Dish 6000 IR address from 1 to 3 to 6 to 10 with no relief. With in a couple of key strokes of the Sony TV remote, I could not do anything with the 6000. The only thing that would :( help is rebooting the 6000. That would work until I turned off the Sony but when I came back and tried to control the 6000 again NOTHING. :mad:

Also I am using the older Sony RX-3000 to control the TV now, but before I moved this remote from my "theater room" to my computer/radio room, I was using the Sony remote with no problems with the 411, the I go again jinxing myself!!!

SO, knock on wood!!!!, the 411 has not had a problem!!!!:) I am probably going to jinz my self now !!!!!!!!!!!!:(

I don't think they'll go below the current $30 price since it's part of a deal they have with the non- profit that owns the apartment building.

Optimum, which bought up our previous cable company, Suddenlink (originally COX), replac ed all of their coax disdribution with Fiber several years ago. They ran new fiber links to the house, but installed RFOG (RF over glass) devices on the outside of the house, which makes the house coax system look like a cable system. They used DOCSIS modems and of course we had the same assymetric bandwidth of cable internet. When I called them a couple years ago, and said I had installed a connection to the local Fiber provideer, MetroNet, They panicked and offered me the 300 MBit "Fiber powered" cable service for $20 per month. They were bleeding customers. I cancelled my Metronet and went with the $20 deal for a year, even though I didn't like the old cable technology.

Then T-moble Fiber struck a deal with Metronet Fiber where T-mobile would take over the marketing, billing and customer relations for residential Customers. They offered a "Founders Deal" for 2 Gigabit service, symmetric speeds, for $70 per month for new customers. That included all taxes and fees and was guaranteed for 10 years. I couldn't resist. That deal is no longer offered, but I am set for 9 more years.

Now the successor to the old local telephone company, Brightspeed has also installed a modern Fiber system in the neighborhood, but won't be getting my business. But their Fiber technology is also superior to Optimums cable based system.

With Fiber competition, the cable companies are eventually doomed.

similar situation. almost every neighborhood around me has fiber, but our 3 block area. I called AT&T and was like, how hard is it to bring fiber over about 200 feet (I am closest to the folks with fiber and can see it on the poles from my front door); crickets and very frustrating.

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.

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.

Hate to say this no one is ordering Satellite TV. Both DISH and Direct no new customers.
After 25 years with centurylink DSL 80 speed i changed to Xfinity 300 speed for $50 wow lightning fast for streaming. Still have DISH 27 years with them. Americas 250 package for $103. What you think of superbox or vseebox for streaming is it legal?
Still dish is easy to operate and change channels. What will Charlie Ergen do with new super satellites with loosing customers with satellites and boost?

While I agree but dish just launched a new sat. That can be used as an asset for Elon. Maybe he will repurpose em for his cell service. And if he wants tv to. God knows why he would but I think he will get a great deal on the contracts in place and equipment!!! I could think of better things to spend my money on. And to be honest Elon has nothing to offer me have blazing fast internet and ill never buy an ev. The veesee box and the super box are illegal.

Given that Tubi is one of the hottest FAST services out there, I don't expect it to go anywhere. Building up intolerance for ads takes a while, and as long as the advertisers are willing to foot the bill, why not?

Another reason I'm glad we are swapping or Rokus out for Apple TVs. I was already planning on ditching the Rokus earlier this year and had been waiting on Apple to announce the new one last month. Our Rokus have had issues the last year or so with freezing video and reboots, and one with an HDCP issue randomly.

I have the Roku's, 2 or 3, I just rarely use them ... I prefer the Google/Android Sony set up.

People tell me that the Apps on the TV will end thier usefulness as they age ... They are doing ok for me so far ... I also have the TV take the App Updates whenever possible ... then again, I don't know how often App updates come to it.

So, so far, I'm doing ok, but if they start to get sluggish, I'll eventually change to a Roku ... I don't want to, but eventually ... (Or buy another new TV :eeek:shh:clapping:biggrin

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....
