I also got the Z. Citadel tp...
and am working on a few in the other continent right now...

Yes, there does seem to be some spammy people in some areas... One idiot kept wandering around Atlantis the other day yelling "GIVE ME PED OR I KEEP SPAMMING"... stupid idiots like that don't deserve to be playing games like this...

I just went generic and used the nick mastermesh in game... My avatar is a chick with spikey mohawk type hair.

I probably won't be logging in a lot except on the weekends... My wife has two 8 hour shifts that she has to work every weekend. Gives me plenty of time to mess around with this sort of stuff... So far I only have about 350 sweat.... and have only played about 5 hours or so.

If you can get to phoenix... that's THE PLACE for newbies to sweat... mainly because the resurection terminal is in the area, so you go sweat a long while, die, come back and you don't have to run a long ways to get back to the critters and sweat some more... If you are in Atlantis or some other areas, it takes a long time to run from the resurection place to where you find a lot of the mobs.

The Z. Citadel seems to have a lot of Atrox and Dinosaur type mob to the North and the East... so going from there for a newbie's out of the question because those higher level creatures kill you too darn fast unless you have armor... which I don't have yet.

If you do a google search for entropia map, there's several good maps out there online that give a lot of details on where all the tps are.

...

This weekend I ended up depositing $10 ... and quickly burned threw the cash... bought a couple of repedge axes and started killing stuff and leveling... Then tried to find some more tps..

I found Fort Ares, and a couple of other tps... tried heading to Zues, found a big pvp zone, got radiation poison and died...

Now I've successfully got myself lost somewhere lost somewhere SouthEast of Ares... I was trying to head South to get towards some other tps (Twin Peaks), but the critters in these parts are dangerous... one robot or something keeps killing me with a laser from a distance, so going south is out, going north is out... East is desert mostly, and dangerous too...

Anyways, I did find a few more tps and discovered that over this far East it's way tougher to live as a n00b... I'm going to try to work my way back to Camp Phoenix and/or Jason... I don't have Jason tp yet... I've leveled enough that the repedge axe 02 can kill a snable snot in one chop... I read somewhere that you should sweat as you hunt, so I may try that out... I've just been killing snables and little stuff like that as I come across them.

Did some more googling and found some more locations that may be helpful... Here you go:

Just found out about quickkey editing... these will be helpful... hit the B key and it brings up the menu. You can assign weapons to quick keys. I'm going to try this next time I play. It should let me switch between sweating critters and killing them a lot easier than I have been doing by going in to Inventory Menu (I key) and manually moving weapon icons around.

Also read that the 3 key is going to be my friend since it lets you run without having to hold down the Q key.

I did find my way to Twin Peaks, grabbed the TP and am now back in Newbie Lands around Camp Phoenix....

If you ever get lost like I did and stuck between Fort Ares to the North West and Twin Peaks to the South East, running south is a pain since the Drones in the wilderness out there have lasers and will kill you unless you are strong enough to kill them first or have a lot of armor and are fast enough to outrun them.. I got around those by going south east a long ways, going through some sand dunes, and then cutting south through some dinosaur lands. Some Dinos got me, but at least I got far south enough that the death teleported me to Twin Peaks where I could get the tp. Good Luck if you are a newbie out this far East.

Now it's back to Snable Snot Hunting... Going to try setting up quickkeys and pulling sweat as I hunt the critters to get the most out of them that I can... Probably will wander around walking too instead of running so as to get some fruit or dung to sell later. You can't find that stuff if you run since it will only show up if you walk.

Did a lot more hunting over the weekend... got up to around amature level on long blades skill. I'm mainly playing on weekends, running around Camp Phoenix. I was killing lots of snable snots, but my handy repedge 2x0 axes can nicely kill me some Bercycled and Conundos south and southwest of Camp, near the crashed space ships. I'm not wearing armor, just have a few axes on me and keep using them, sweating before a kill so that I have a little time to heal up before the next kill. I'm thinking I'll keep this up a while and if I get bored, maybe go to Fort Ares and do some Exosaur killings... Repedge 2x0s do about 20-30 or so damage, sometime more, sometimes less... so it kills Berycled and Conundos in about 4-5 swipes. Luckily the don't do enough damage to me that it kills me every time... now if I run on to 2 or more of them, I'm in trouble... The auto run key is R. Use it wisely. Suppossedly Bercycled and Conundus and Exosaur have better loot, so I'll probably keep to going after them for now. My blade's and skills aren't nearly strong enough to go after more advanced stuff now. I've been doing some reading on charts around the net. Looks like Strongest Long Blades in the game aren't (L) (i.e. you can actually repair them when they break down and don't have to throw them away) that are actually worth buying are Castorian Combat Enblades 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13s. Prices on those suckers are way up there due to mark up by traders... I think I read somwhere that a Castorian Combat Enblade 12 runs at TT + 1649.19 in price in an auction... and Castorian Combat Enblade 13 Mentor Edition is selling at TT+6891.02...that's about $165.00, and $689.00 respectively, going to those player/sellers in addition to the wholesale (Trade Terminal) value of the blade... no wonder people are making money off of this game!

Of course, those are pretty strong blades... Enblade 13 ME does around 169 points of damage, and 12 does 148 damage. Enblade 10 only does 130 damage.. and 10s sell for about TT+734.59 PED, or $73.46 USD above the base cost of it (which is about 110 Ped, or USD $11.00)...

No wonder people keep calling this the most expensive video game in the world! Hopefully those Cornondos keep dropping FAPs (First Aid Packs) as they die so I can sell them to make back some on the damage that killing them is doing to the blade that I use. Last FAP that I got from one of them was worth about 12 Peds as TT, or usd $1.20... If I could get a lot of those, hopefully, I can start breaking even more, or getting ahead economically in the game..

Snable Snots have about 20 Hit Points... Bercycled's have around 100 or so, and one of the strongest critters in the game, a Feifoid, has about 400-1200 Hit Points... so even with the strongest weapons in the game, you still would have to party with a hunting team, or get darn lucky to kill them... especially since a lot of those critters are in massive mobs of 20-50 or so critters all massed in huddles in various places throughout the game... but the more tough your weapons, the more higher level creatures you can kill, the better your chances of getting some good loot that you can sell for more to other players or TT (trade terminal). ..

so I'll stick with Repedge Blades for now...

My sweating skills keep going up. I read somewhere that some players can get to where they can pull up about 600 sweat in one hour. Sweat sells for about 2 pecs a bottle, which is .02 Peds (the penny version of money in the game)...

100 Pecs(Project Entropia Cents) = 1 PED (Project Entropia Dollar)
$1 USD = 10 PEDS... so 1 PED = a dime... Sweat Sells for 2 pecs a bottle, i.e. 1/100th of a dime.

So far, I've got about 1800 Sweat stored up that I'll sell eventually, or refine in to M.E. (the stuff that you use in the game to power up cyber implants to do in the game what's similar to magic - except it's not magic, it's bionic implant junk)

This game is a bit like a casino... and right now, it's like I'm playing penny and nickel slots. If I had an Enblade, I could go after better critters, which would be like playing a dollar slot or a casino table game... at the moment games like this are not really considered casinos by law... more like games of skill, like you'd find at a fun house or Chucky Cheese or something... but more pricey...

However, I like it. It makes my money last longer than the real casino a few blocks from our house, and is a heck of a lot funner.

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....

PISTONS and THUNDER are finally testing on the stream server. PISTONS is showing the Ion/Scripps Sports promo loop filler that their NHL and WNBA feeds have, THUNDER has a "You are watching Thunder+" slate

The Clippers still haven't officially announced their TV plans beyond 10 simulcasts on KTLA, but the NBA's FAQ for ClipperVision is now live. The CLIPPERS feed is currently showing a loop of their Hawaii preseason game.

The Heat still haven't announced their West Palm Beach or Fort Myers affiliates. Since WPLG is streaming the games for free via their app, I doubt we'll be seeing the return of WPLG on stream.

So far nothing testing for the Bucks, Magic, Hawks or Hornets.

It's only available for streaming customers, they still haven't added that batch of CW stations to satellite.

Even if it was, satellite customers still can't stream their CW affiliates via the app, just the Big 4, select PBS stations and some independents (mainly the ones that have full season NHL/NBA rights)

24 team playoff seems to be real close.

Are we really that far from a 64-team tournament?

The benefit of the 24 team playoff:

All the cartel teams that cartels want in playoff are in playoff
- Independent of record too! Bonus.
MONEY!!!!! for the cartels.
I'm out of ideas.

Cons

Regular season really doesn't matter now other than the rivalry games
- Top cartel teams can lose three games and still make the playoff
Going to start resting players?
- The playoff is going to be *checks notes* several games!
- Resting players could make games dumb.
- Maybe even restrict NIL players from games played.
How much are streaming sub costs going up a month to pay for this?!

One of the pro's I see is in a year with so many undefeated teams they have a good chance of an opening. Few years back you had lower divisions that didnt get a shot. I love collage football and I have no problem with that addition.

We are in what week 5 now? Been two real good ranked games to watch.....Other than that top 25 teams are playing nothing.

Oh, I Hate the idea ...

It would be different if it was a game that you could play 2 or games each week, but when you only play 1 game a week, the larger playoff is Not a good thing ...

The season has how many games now, is it 14 ... then you want to play another 5 (with more to come) against Top 12 (eventually 24 teams) ... remember, the 5 games in the playoffs will be the hardest games all year and back to back.

For example, IF Ohio State should win it all this year ... they play 5 teams in the Top 25, plus they would play 5 more to win it all, depending on how the ranking shake out and if Bye weeks are given.

Thats 10 Ranked teams ... in one year ...
I don't see that happening very often ...
Edit, Bama plays 4, Georgia plays 3, But Ole Miss plays 5 (didn't expect to see that)

That said, I don't see the Buckeyes winning it all this year.

A 12 team playoff net should catch any undefeated team. The 12 team playoff also exposed that rankings suck. I mean, we kind of knew already that the rankings weren't particularly reproducible, but we now have the empirical evidence that the rankings suck because judging who is the best among a mickey mouse scheduled football season isn't a rational endeavor. So the 12 team playoff ensures most teams that should make it, do, including the mid-major undefeated team. 8 teams should be able to work as well, but puts greater risk at OSU and Alabama missing the playoff... can't have that.

Which is the run up to my main problem with the 24 team set up is that it is designed to keep the OSU's and Alabama's from missing the playoff. The cartels are ensuring widespread participation for their own cartels to increase the monetary reward to themselves. It is fixing the system while not fixing the outcomes, merely making the regular season game outcomes virtually irrelevant. Sure, a bye for winning the conference would be nice, but we've already seen that byes aren't that influential.

AZ. said:

That is college football in a nutshell. Again, college football isn't about competition, it is about revenue. The entire setup is about making money, from regular season squash games against local jobbers like the WWF days to tax exempt bowl games.

And to add to the first world woes, the college football cartels have made being a College Football fan even more expensive... so they can get paid more.

NCIS

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.

I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

No. Bring in someone new.

Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.

I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...

Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)

Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.

Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.

It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

I'm curious how they are going to implement Tony into Origins (If they do) ...
Tony was introduced to Gibbs and the team, on NCIS, which makes it the Mothership side of things, he worked in Baltimore prior to NCIS, NO mention when they met that anyone had known one another ...

Are you experiencing an issue with your 3rd party remote since the newest Hopper update?

Please post your remote make/model here and any details of your issue. We are looking to collect as many examples as possible. I may reach out to you for your receiver number, but please do not post it here.

If you've already reported this to me, please repost it here so I can track all instances in one thread.

Thanks!

I lost IR control of my H3 after the H398 update in September of 25. We were using the Harmony Hub remote system from Logitech. We have been using the H3 OEM remote to turn the receiver on and off ever since then.

I have a solution that is guaranteed to work.
All Hopper developers are required to turn in their RF Hopper remotes and use only IR remotes.

I guarantee you that the bug will be fixed in two days!
Try it; it will work! They will work 24 hours a day to fix it when the WAF goes into the toilet!

BTW my bedroom H3 does not have this problem where I am using a Harmony 650. Also has there been any more feedback? Are they still working on this or what?

I think I have a separate issue with our Hopper 3 when watching/recording a 4K event. I have had many instances of it spontaneously restarting when I "disturbed" it during a 4K event. I learned to not touch the remote after a given point.

But it might be the IR code subroutine and 4K that make it touchy. I'll try it Wednesday night during the NLCS Game 3.

I was having similar issues last night while watching and recording the NLCS game on 148. When I tried resuming the game at one point the screen went blank and I couldn't get my H3 to respond to any remote commands. Eventually the Hopper went to a HD channel but still no remote response. After a while the Hopper went into a re-boot cycle. This happened at least 3 times. I was using an IR universal remote only.

A little frustrating to have the game broken up like that but at least the Brewers won

Loaded H713 software on my Hopper 3 last week. Have not seen any change in the IR/RF remote issues with my Harmony 700.
Has Dish acknowledged this is a problem and are they committed to fixing it?
I'd be happy to roll back to last July.

H3 EHD lists upcoming airings instead of recordings on EHD and often won't recognize EHD is connected after reboot

This started a couple months ago. I have 2 H3s on one network, both with 2 EHD identical 3 TB seperately powered so all recordings are accessible by all 4k & J4s (8 of them).

On one H3 (not the main one that controls the MOCA network), after it reboots, it doesn't recognize it has two EHDs plugged into it. Rebooting the EHD by their power source doesn't fix it. Resetting the network doesn't. Software h3 reset doesn't fix it. Rebooting MOCA h3 doesn't fix it but so far, after 3+ cold boots (unplug pwr to H3 with unrecognized EHDs), it finally it figures out they are plugged into it. BUT.... Then when you open a program it only partially shows series and episodes, but instead of showing recordings, it only shows upcoming airings. HELP!!!!

Thanks JohnGalt1234 - That's interesting. I wonder are the Boot Strap versions different between a Hopper 3 only and a Hopper 3 with Hopper Plus setup as I have the later. I guess when charlesrshell is able to since he has both setups, he can do the test. Unless the bootstrap version is tied to when the specific Hopper 3 is manufactured, in my case, mines is from February 2016 when it was installed.

At least Google Search AI is saying the bootstrap version will never change and unique to each Hopper 3.

This is probably why different people seem to either have the issue or they don't because the bootstrap code could also be tied to the hardware revision and
components other than the internal HD.

JohnGalt1234 - So you basically have 2 Hopper 3's. The CasinoH3 is the one that is Hopper 3 only while Master Bedroom is a Hopper 3 with Hopper Plus setup.
Master Bedroom uses Android TV (ATV) software so the DISH part is actually a app and will behave differently as you can probably tell the Guide's are different on the Master Bedroom which will resemble the same guide used on other ATV devices such as the Joey 4 and Wireless Joey 4. If I am correct, the CasinoH3 is the one with the problem since you did say the one dated 09/05/2026 is the naughty one while 08/15/2026 named Master Bedroom is the nice one. Usually I would expect the CasinoH3 to be the one without the problem because it's Hopper 3 only and Master Bedroom would be the one with problems because it has the Hopper Plus involved. That is why they behave differently because CasinoH3 is running the native Hopper 3 software while Master Bedroom is running the Android TV software and also it runs a app called DISH known as package com.dish.atv.launcher, the version for mines is P15403 2026100917 so it's probably the same version as the Hopper Plus software version with the date of October 9, 2026, not sure what the 17 means except maybe revision 17?

This explains it better than I can. Sorry, had to take all the ads out.

Updated to H713 on a Hopper 3 from H712 with Hopper Plus a few hours earlier.

It brought a old problem back:

One of the problems I am seeing is that the Available Joey Software section no longer is showing the Android TV versions even after a manual software reset twice and the nightly reboot. Until it does, nether Technician Android TV download and Hopper Plus is able to check, download and update the Android TV software.

This was a major problem with H703.

H710 removed that dependency but it's broken again.

Within the last few hours as I did check earlier today when it was still missing, the Available Joey Software line now has added "P154 P15403" which is for the Hopper Plus that I have but my Hopper Plus software is still on P15317, I will do a Download Android TV (ATV) Software for the Hopper Plus, Joey 4 and Wireless Joey which are all Android TV devices and then manually do a check update on the Hopper Plus to update the software shortly.

This happened to me. I was outside mowing and my wife came out and said that our nieces and nephews were going to be on the Noon News. She had it on in the bedroom on our Joey3. Since they weren't on yet, I decided to turn it on in the Living Room on our Hopper3. When I selected the channel (through Dish, not OTA) the Joey3 turned itself off. When I went back to the bedroom to turn it back on, the Hopper3 did a reboot. Luckily it all finished before their story came on, but I just found it strange.

Has anyone noticed an FF stutter with 713? I used to be able to hit FF a few times and skip smoothly. After 713 (maybe 712), when I skip forward, there is a definite stutter for as many times as I have pressed FF.

Can anyone check on this and report back? Recorded programs and then press skip forward a few times to see if it's smooth? Normally, it just jumps to the right place after the skips.
