This isn't really a 522 question but it does involve a 522 (or six) Mods pls move if appropriate.
Yesterday we had a huge downpour which left my 522 with no signal.
After the rain stopped the receiver kept rebooting trying to aqcuire a signal but wouldn't lock, anyhow after the 5th time I tried unplugging it for 15 mins and trying again - exactly the same thing happened.
I called DN who had me try to reset the receiver but it wouldn't get out of this rebooting loop it was in they shipped a replacement to me which should be here tomorrow. I also asked him if we could cancel if my wife wanted to (She's sick of the whole thing re: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=18815 )
and was told that we could.
How difficult is it to cancel my DHA? I honestly hate to but we've spent more time waiting for replacement parts and trying to get this thing installed than we've spent watching TV.
Thanks all.

Good Deal on NOS (New Old Stock) V-Box II DiSEqC Positioners. Found this ad on a website called Mercari.
This is a great price these days for a BUD Dish Positioner. You will pay more than twice this for a new positioner anywhere else. I think this guy has more than 1, although he only lists one at a time.
I am not vouching for the seller at all, so buy at your own risk, ask questions before you buy would be my advice. I am just posting this because these are hard to find and very expensive too. I figure this will help someone out.
Note: These have Euro power cords, and are 220V. You will need a Power Converter Adapter to use this here in North America.
I posted pics of the Adapter i think will work good, you can find them on Amazon for $15-$20

HERE TO HELP YOU!
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....

I know this is for Dish TV service but was wondering if anyone has gone from Verizon to the Dish Boost Mobile cell phone service and would you recommend it.

just an outward facing cam for a**holes in 4 wheelers and the break checker's
I thought about just buying my own, but goddang. I bought a nice 2000 W900L in 2004 for $52K. New they were just over 100K. Now, a new KW W990 is over $300,000.00i own my own truck i don't have none of that crap
I couldn't afford a new one, but used truck prices are just as crazy
We have started cycling out our fleet, day cabs, but even those are sickeningly high compared to a few years ago.
Second of the crew was delivered today. First was crimson. This on is grey. On down the line we will go until replaced.

Continuing the Kilauea thread in the Pub here. Perhaps the Iceland one too next time there's remarkable activity.
Currently there is precursory lava flowing into the crater, leading to the next episode that'll probably start within the next day.
You can see the pace of inflation / deflation here. It serves as the primary predictor for when the expect the eruptions, which coincide w/ inflation turning into significant deflation and last for several hours on average with significant fountaining.

Wife and I like the AfarTV feeds, for the discussion along w/ them, though they're otherwise just mirrors of the official USGS feeds.

Directv stream making me angry
Trying to watch the NASCAR race and when TNT 'goes to commercials' they overlay some stupid 'local' commercials. Yes all I have to do is switch channels and go back to the regular feed but the issue is Directv isn't 'going to commercials'.
Yes they are showing commercials but they are doing the split screen so you can still see the race just not hear the audio.
I get they (TNT) like to give you 'local commercial crap' but don't do it during the race when it's a split screen!!!

FM Radio is Being Nixed From New Vehicles, Too
Rivian’s new R2 electric SUV will concerningly require an internet connection to listen to music or radio, omitting AM and FM radio entirely.

I'm so old i remember when auto trans and A/C were options tape players were options as well as cd players. i think even the rug on the floor was an option i think. you could get a ford escort for 5 to 6 k stripped with a stick shifter. and with all of this self driving BS coming just think what will hapen when you miss a payment it will drive itself back to the lot.

Do you remember when you had to hand crank the windows (I'm sure you do).
Air Conditioning ("Weather Conditioner") was a factory option in model year 1940 Packards.
In 1930, external swamp coolers were available.
Cadillac offered the first climate control ("Comfort Control") in 1964.

A couple of years ago the dealership I go to was broken into and apparently a group of thieves drove the cars right out of the showroom like something out of Gone in 60 Secs. They got the keys, opened the big glass bay door and just drove off, but not before also stealing every tool in the service area that wasn't locked up.Until you get out of the car and walk away ...

Among the vehicles stolen was an F-150 Raptor, Bronco Raptor, Explorer ST, and a slightly used Aviator. A Dark Horse and used Taurus SHO were left untouched, All cars were able to be tracked down via the Ford and Lincoln apps. The fleet of a dozen or so Police Interceptors parked to the left entrance of the showroom were left untouched as well for some reason
If it was me doing the thievery, I would have done my homework and pulled the fuse that powers the LTE modem.
