You can adjust a sports one time timer to lower the end time too. I do it every weekend when I set all my racing timers for the weekend. I use to make a sports series timer with the HWS old UI but don't anymore because the new CUI does not have the timer event edit setting anymore.
I am unsure what you mean when you say you don't have the timer event edit setting. I see one just like I always did.
In the old UI you had the option called Edit Event. You could adjust a start early or end late time for a particular scheduled program without having to change the basic series timer.
I see what you are saying. I set an event and was able to adjust end time. Then I went to a series event for a single day. When I adjusted that I looked at the series timer and saw that the series was adjusted as well. Thinking about it, with 16 tuners, I really don't care. I can see how that could be an issue with an H2.
If you set a series timer for any of the major car races, a scheduled timer would also set for the qualifying, practice races, etc. programs too. Most of these programs would run together because of the sports hour overage. I would use the Edit Event feature to change the end late times so each recording would blend in together if you can kind of understand what I mean. Since I went to the new CUI I just don't set series timers anymore for car races. Once a week I set one time timers for all the races I want to record. You are correct, no big deal with the Hopper 3. In fact for the default timer setting I have 10 minute end late time set. We no longer have the recorded program ending getting cut off sometimes. This has made my wife super happy and off my a-- now. She use to give me hell whenever the endings got cut off. Life is good now with the Hopper 3.
I see a new bush/evergreen being planted next spring to "hide" it. Welp, I'm still alive! lol
The boss lady of course was still "miffed", but... :shrugs: The biggest gripe? Why didn't they take the old dish with them! Why couldn't they hide the new dish better? lol
A question about signal strength.
I had what I consider light to medium strength rain roll through today/tonight. Basically red and bright orange... which places it about 4 steps down from the highest (purple).
During that time my signals were reading down to 20, depending on which SAT and which transponder the channels were on.
I'm curious if there should be a drastic difference between signal levels on the same SAT, 61.5? One channel would be say on Transponder 12 and I'd get a signal of 46, another would be say transponder 5 and I'd get 35...
Just curious if this is normal, or if this is something I should call in about?
Thanks all for the info.
Ironically, some people use a garden hose to get the signal to come back, if the LNB gets too hot.
Finally someone answered at DIsh... tech coming out on Monday. They agreed that a garden hose shouldn't kill the signal.
As for the the heat, I tried that last week when I noticed signal levels would drop when the sun started hitting the dish. Signal levels would rise 10-20 points after cooling it down. The only reason I found out that the same spraying was causing the signal drop, while actually spraying it, was the boss lady was home this time and wondered why the signal dropped. ooops..
So spraying it helps the signal level go up, but also causes it to drop when actually spraying it. Yeah... I need a new lnb.
