These are consumer products w/ target demographics, T2K. Analogies are relevant. Do you fall in the casual/practical/cheap, motor[meat]head hardcore/gearhead, or loaded/luxury market seqment, was what I was mapping out--each is initially going after a specific slice, hoping to broaden its appeal later. But you didn't want to think, you wanted to be a troll.
Brilliant and well-spoken as usual. What was the point of THAT post, other than to be insulting? Another one for the books.
Oh, I remember...you were the Apple troll way back who said I was (I think literally, again, your eloquent words) 'stupid' thinking they would A) get into content distribution or develop a set-top box for your home theater to view said distributed content, and B) that they mattered as a company in the first place, as they were just a niche player. You know, the "iPod is just a fad" sort of thing. Hmm, and then there's the intelligence and tact of dogging the thread when you're the OT poster who starting the damn thing. Nice. It's obvious you're just out to spew FUD.
But what the hell...I'll bite.
Do tell, what are your brilliant insights into the console wars. I'd love to hold your assessments and prediction up to scrutiny. You've got a good track record so far...

As I said your car analogy is just as relevant as it would be vica versa - it is simply laughably simplistic, your "mapping out" reveals you obviously never studied anything relevant in your whole life, just a copying some of the million crappy articles available online.
Me? Apple troll?
You A) don't have the slightest idea what a troll means or B) don't have the slightest idea who wrote it and/or what I wrote.
You got links, I hope...
Which they still have yet to get in, right (sans fairly pathetic downloadable TV or even more pathetic music video offerings in a single Apple store but that's obviously pretty far from content distribution, I'm sure you're aware of this.)
OT
I have no idea which Kool-Aid you drink but the use of the old, preposterous, long-discredited car analogy - first widely used by Apple fans a decade - points into the direction you probably suffer from Apple-related RDF effects so let me enlighten you about my relevant views on Apple, my misinformed/confused friend: ever since they switched to Intel - had they done it a decade ago they wouldn't be still in the single-digit ghetto, in the error margin of computer market share - Apple should have subsequently given up the hardware development - as they obviously suck at it - and should focus on multimedia content development industry instead, providing all the tools and softwares for it because they already own the OS, the platform. Keep the industrial design if they still itchy to sell their branded hardware but stop developing such piece of crap like Mac Mini and focus on applications as OS X is clearly behind any* OS when it comes to applications, despite their RDF-spinned, KoolAid-drinking 'artist' 'consumers' like "webdesigners" (aka bartenders), "graphics designers" (aka messenger boys, better case bussers) etc.
When you have only one or two choice for editing, literally only one useful choice for authoring (though it's an excellent one) then it's not a professional platform, it's still a limited platform.
Oh, c'mon.
But what the hell, bite or whatever, you already lost your credit...
Yes, I do, even without fposing with some old, retarded, stupid analogy as something new.
There's nothing more pathetic than using this really old, zillion times used, truly idiotic car analogy in any online debate as your post - most of the teenies don't do it on console forums anymore it's so embarrassing kind of cliche.
Anybody over 20 - and I'm much older - could read it on some Apple forum decade ago. AFAIK it was first used by Mactards, in the 90s when I visited the first Mac-related BBSes - it was just as hilarious and useless as it is today.
So when it comes to track record I'd rather remain in deep silence if I were you...
*: OS X used to be better for audio editing but it's not the case anymore, XP offers just as much choice if not more. Also linux apps are incomparable when it comes to user-friendly - most of them console-based apps so OS X certainly has this edge over linux.

ROFLMAO, just another example of your own ignorance - did you notice that the subject over there was Quicktime 7 and I was talking about VC-1?
Blowing your own link makes you look really silly, indeed.
Why am I not surprised you are wrong once again...? Tsk, tsk tsk - how about asking instead of embarrassing yourself with posting where you're trying to sound like somebody who knows something yet you obviously got it wrong?
PS: BTW I am still right there, as QT7 was and still IS truly inferior to VC-1 when it comes to hw/pq ratio (assuming now you are able to understand at all what I'm referring to 'cause you obviously did not understand over there).
PS2: and ah, do you watch tv on Apple TV or anything? If so you're probably high on KoolAid - because there's no such thing, the hilariously named 'AppleTV' is actually a lot less than most of the upconverting networked DVD/media players, it's simply a quite pathetic answer to HTPCs.

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 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
Yea, I've only been a CIO for the last 30 years!
Trust me, when something important breaks, they get to own it!
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.

Several Dish offers showed up today in my account. Once you choose one the rest are removed. Offers were Showtime, Starz, AMC and others.

Not for me, mines has no mention of how long aka the offer period and the Terms and conditions the $0.00 is good for. All I see is one can lose $5.00 if you decide to remove it before day 31 after you add it to the account.
You have a different offer that is free for a shorter timeframe which is different than the one that I and bnewt saw without defining the promotion period as I sent the question to DISH Care via Facebook Messenger and this is the response I got back 20 minutes ago.

Cutting Edge
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....

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.
