:clap :wave :bow thanks so much! i forgot to ask him and hes on vacation till wed. i told him i would be pointed and ready to go with my second dish. i ran a couple of differant programs getting defferant numbers each time. the rag heads don't understand a thing! I'm getting the hn7700 for voip testing. comparing it with vonage. this will be "my" new modem to keep with a pro-plus plan. when i get it running I'll post some results. apparently its not so hush hush now the modems are out. they are looking into some kind of work for free service if i continue beta testing for them. and a hint they may do more than that like maybe working here in San Diego for there business sales west coast office tech support. they are scheduling a training day. this really is sounding good. the marines i work with want hn units to take to the sand box. i got one setup all ready for one unit they all want one now. they seem to work pretty good over there with the .98m dish and portable stand. and a vonage phone line. for cheap calls home. well its getting late, I'll keep you posted. and thanks again!

If its like the DW7000 only a telephone port, serial port, and 2 ethernet ports "not in a networking type way".

Take a look at the attached.

found this also; http://www.hughesnetbiz.com/HUGHES/...Entity[OID[C4D929DFE0F25441A450AF59F502DA1E]] looks fantastic! but do i need the 2 watt trans? may be i can beg for a dish too. lol a lot of the info says dw not hn so I'm wondering are there no changes or they haven't updated this website all the way yet? still looks good to me! how are they working for you any problems yet? you said you liked it. and i agree its been a grate modem so far with good improvements!:up

:) OK! got it today! its fantastic! dual LAN lines phone port serial port. i did not expect the 80 signal Laval on this sat for me on the west coast. the skew is wicked. cross pol was 80. for me I'm disappointed i ha vent been able to get it higher, my satmex5 is always 90Sig/99cp! but I'm still fine tuning it. they must have it set wide open my first speed test came back at 1.7MB-down and 300kbs-up. still setting it up and learning about it. no paper work with it. I'll get the manual some where. I'm on 93west/1433MHz/rate21.50/h-h/tone-off. latest software is 5.3.0.24 on July 18Th. nice fish Tate! i got to get some sleep its 1am I'll post more tomarrow.

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....

Hello everyone, new guy here. I'm trying to solve problem I'm having with Dish bonus view channels. When I'm watching the bonus view channels then I switch back to regular dish channels, after few minutes the screen flips to black and after 30 seconds flips back to regular channels and continues to flip back and forth until I turn off TV. After I wait 30 minutes and turn back on , I can use regular channels again. So, its after I switch from bonus view channels to regular dish channels the problem starts. Been trying to fix this for a month, but no luck
Here what I've done.
i contacted Dish support and they sent me a new Joey3, but no help. Switched to a different HDMI input on TV, no help. Used different HDMI cable , no help. Used different electrical wall plug, no help.
Finally got a Dish tech to check it. He ran all systems check and was OK. Finally he brought in a small TV and plugged in the HDMI out from the Joey to the small TV. He could not get the problem to occur on his small TV, so the new Joey was working OK. So, then the problem must be myTV. He made some phone calls and came back with the answer that there must be a problem with the analog to digital switch in my TV. Has anyone ever heard of a problem like this, or is it time to be looking for a new TV? My tv LG OLED65C8PUA. TV has been trouble free til now. Thanks

I've been retired since October. It was very strange at first. But I'm loving it now.

I had a very unusual but delicious 1/4lb hotdog with cream cheese, raspberry preserves and chopped Hatch green chile. It is an unlikely combination but it works.

New low power station has been granted by the FCC and the new call leter is K33OB-D on RF ch. 33.

Will run at 15 KW ERP, this one runs from the Westside same location as KWPL-LD a HC2 owned station.

It's going to be aimed at eastern part of Albuquerque, so it's tightly focused beam pattern.

This new station is owned by Digital Network and what kind of programmings is unkown at this time.😎

Many of these in my DMA are on cell towers, so don't always reach very far because the towers aren't very high.

Did anyone have a price increase today on their equipment? I own my VIP211k's, and they have been $5.00. My bill that I received last week shows the "add-ons" as being $5.00. However, I just logged into my Dish account, and my "add-ons" are now $10.00. Did the additional receivers go up by $5.00 recently?

As I mentioned, my last bill shows $5.00 and under the notes, nothing is mentioned about a price increase.

However, when I make a change (tried to add the Columbian pack for $2 so I could generate my bill) and there is a new line - it says "Access for TV" - whereas previously that line item was not there. I hope they aren't charging $5.00 for the initial TV now...

Apparently it's not an "owned receiver" fee but rather an extension fee that's applied to 2nd and subsequent viewing. Maybe that played into their decision to force a box at every TV- garnering those fees

Possibly. In theory, $9 of the base pack has a rental fee built in. But now is this $5 a chance to get a little more? I don't know for sure. According to chat, it is a glitch and will be resolved in a timely manner, but we shall see. Part of my thinks there is a going to be a new charge, whether it is now or this fall. Here in Illinois, the law requires we are given 30 days notice of any fee changes, but I have not been given anything.

These fees are why streaming has caught on so well across the country and DISH is losing subs each quarter. Soon won't be enough subs to be profitable.
