    Big oops on Dish this morning

    There was a big opps on Dish this morning about 10:30 PDT. While I was watching TV, all of sudden the picture froze, went black, then come back onto a Pay Per View channel. When I went to the guide, there was nothing there except for all the PPV channels and a couple of minor streaming...

    Hmmmm…. Like a lot of TV these days, the April Dish Scape may just be a repeat. Yawn.

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    Last comment on the streaming Bora Bora (Boring Boring) Dish Scape on 198. As I said earlier, the action is pretty minimal. There are beach waves that somehow come from a completely waveless lagoon. The scene goes light, then dark, then light again, and continuously repeats this for some...

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    The streaming Dish Scape on 198 is Bora Bora. It’s a nice sedate tropical beach scene, but not much happens. I think it could be renamed Boring Boring.

    BBC News Moving to Streaming Only

    The online notice (on channel 280) states channel 281. I don’t have channel 281 on my H3. Did I miss something?

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    Quick observations about this February‘s 199 “Valentine’s Garden” Dish Scape. Nothing terribly exciting, dancing hearts, loving swans, lots of mood music and lighting (fit for a hight school prom), flying Cupid statues. The love farting skunk is a funny, if odd, addition. But the one thing...

    MPEG2 Western Arc shutoff

    I think its deep space parking sleep orbit should keep us safe for a very, very long time. (As he looks up and crosses his fingers) :rolleyes:

    MPEG2 Western Arc shutoff

    We bid you farewell 129W (Ciel 2). You served us well in your partially crippled state and did the best you could. Have a nice deep space sleep. Now that really ends this thread!

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    I‘m back. Just before thanksgiving I had a horse riding accident and shattered my right femur. Two surgeries, leg rod implants, and a long hospital stay later, I’m now home and recovering nicely. But six weeks of old man walker hobbling. Finally getting a chance to see the newly redone Santa...

    Can't update an expired credit card

    I‘ve ran into similar issues with other services. But I can’t offer any speculation as to why this happens. however, I have found that in all cases this fix was to delete the existing expired card and to enter the updated card as a new card.

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    Well, 198 turns out to be a bit of a yawner also. It’s got a very nice fall farm pastoral scene. It has turkeys, pheasants, and deer walk across the frame. There is also a Thanksgiving parade like turkey ballon float across in the distance. We also get farmer Bigfoot coming out the barn to do...
