I have recently upgraded to a 322 from a 3900. Man its quite an upgrade especially in the EPG, no more waiting what seemed like 10 minutes for the info to appear.
I have noticed a couple of issues that I have emailed Dish, and now we are going through the dog and pony show of checking everything in my system info.
The issues I have seen:
1. Timers. I set timers to recored to DVD for timeshifting every night. I have on three different timers noticed that the box turns on at the right time, but I get a black screen (on both S video and also ch 4 from the 75 ohm connection).
Maybe a coicidence, but all three timers with black screen were on Sundays.
The first time this happened, my timer from 8 to 9 PM was black (I missed the ending episode of the Amazing race). The timer from 9 to 10 PM recordered normally (full video and sound, no problems).
The second time this happened I had just setup the timer and turned the box off but the TV was still on. The box started and the screen was black. I channeled up on the remote, the next channel up displayed so I channeled down and my TV was displaying what the timer should have displayed.
The third time it happened was the same as the second. I no longer trust the box so I watch to make sure the box turns on right at the first timer.
2. Guide. Sometimes I cannot go to the right to see later times. I press the right arrow and nothing happens. If I page down in the guide, I can then arrow to the right to see later times. I can then page up to see the later times I couldn't see on the channels until I paged down, arrowed right, then paged up. This is minor as it is easily worked around.
I tried searching before posting and went back as far as January which was a time of older firmware as I believe these issues to be firmware related.
I am current with L421 firmware.
Has anyone seen this? The timer issue is something I have to "babysit". So far I have not seen this happen on any other day but Sunday, and only on my first timer of the day (one of the timers was sunday morning).

In my case, I have the VCR code set-up. It still would give me the black screen sometimes. I now tune in the correct channel and leave the receiver on before leaving for the day.
This is probably the firmware bug that GSfromCT is describing. I've never had this problem on my 301 or 2800 receivers. It has also never occurred on my 522. Just on the DW's 322 receiver. Very unfortunate for me when the DW's soap doesn't record.
Thank God the Soap Channel replays the soap she watches later that night.

Wow, that is unfortunate because I know how annoying that black screen can be. I guess I can count my good luck. Now, I have supreme confidence the 322 TV1 timer will fire--it always has, so far--going on at least a year of countless fires (I had to record multiple 30 minute TV shows each weekday for my brother, and record my stuff on a 2nd 322--no misfires.
Again, try not to leave the 322 tuned to the channel you want to record when you put the box in standby because you may get the black screen. Try leaving it at Ch. 101 or something like that.
I hope they fix the problem.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.
I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.
Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

For the naysayers who did not think this service would make it, just added another 4.9M subscribers and that was after the removal of 1.2M Russia subscribers.
This is even better, Paramount+ revenue grew 120% and Subscription revenue grew 74% year-over-year ( 2nd quarter 2021/ 2nd quarter 2022) to $830M, principally reflecting paid subscriber growth on Paramount+.
Now compare that to Peacock with only 13 million paid, 13 million free.

So, this means that those of us with Commercial Free subs, won't be Commercial Free, unless we wait till after the show is over ?
Which would make same day, not that big of a deal.
Paramount+ has always had the CBS shows on the CBS local channel and yes with commercials. What they are doing now is releasing the OnDemand versions of the show which I believe they don't release until after the shows air on the west coast. And they will be commercial free if you subscribe to the ad free version of Paramount+.So, this means that those of us with Commercial Free subs, won't be Commercial Free, unless we wait till after the show is over ?

I wasn't up at 3:00 am to check but they are there at 8:00 am today.
The new curated multiview is now live.
While on many of the sports channels and non sports channels there is a multi view option button. It will pull up a side bar with many different multi view options.

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.
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.
