    DPH34 switch

    There is no SW34. There is a DP34 which is three DishPro LNBFs to four DishPro compatible receivers. This is different than the DPH34 which is the same as the DPH42 but for only three inputs and four outputs and cascadable. To say what's compatible, we really need to know what type of...

    H388 - Hopper 3 - 02/19/2025

    Yes, and those incompatibilities just get worse with each new iteration.

    H388 - Hopper 3 - 02/19/2025

    Yes, there were always a few problems but now there are more. As long as I've had the H+, only the red button of the four colored buttons works, though the colored indicators are still there on the screen implying that the green and yellow buttons should work, but they don't. Also the record...

    H388 - Hopper 3 - 02/19/2025

    Nice additions. Unfortunately, looks like all the problems I reported on the previous few releases are still there. Plus a couple more. As of today, the Play and Pause buttons on my 40.0 remotes are no longer functional. Mrs. Pepper has told me this is the last straw for the Hopper Plus and I...

    Star Trek: Section 31

    I watched. And I have only one question: who's filing a class-action lawsuit so I can get that 1.5 hours of my life back?

    I concur with cyberham, get a motor. The only caveat there is trees and other obstacles. The main reason my backyard is now full of dish antennae pointed every which way is because of a bunch of trees that grew and filled in over the past few years, so unless I take out a loan and hire a tree...

    Dish International moving.

    Wally has an ethernet adapter so if that is available at the TV location you don't need Wi-Fi.

    Satellite signal out?

    Oh are you one of the developers? Please find my list of bugs from recent releases and fix those too ;)

    Random Question

    The clue is in the logo. Kangaroos hop, so you could call them a Hopper. A baby kangaroo is called a Joey. Related to Kangaroos, but slightly different, is the Wallaby which you could call a Wally. The Hopper hops too, over commercials. That was its defining feature back in the day. That's the...

    105 is pretty much just the VA but things can change without notice. I got my DiSEqC 8x1 switches from Hyper Casey ~ $20 each. I started with one of those and grew. Yes, it's an addictive hobby. (click below for gory details)

    Well, I found a new(ish) Autohop feature!'

    Never noticed it before but most of what we watch is not in big-4 prime time.

    Site doesn't load correctly on Chrome after Win11 24H2 update

    I've seen plenty of websites act like that on occasion over the years, long before 24H2 was available, it's most likely a Chromium rendering engine got confused thing since it usually works correctly upon refreshing the page.

    Yet again! No horizontal on ses 1 at 101

    Holy crap. Why mounted so high in the first place, is that the only way it could get LOS? If it's not at ground level, I ain't messin' with it.

    Congrats on your progress! Those HughesNet dishes are great, I have one pointed at 97/101/105. You can stack LNBFs on either side of the center one and get satellites 4 degrees apart easily with that dish. To combine them, I'm using a DiSEqC 1.1 8x1 switch (around $20) and WB68 multiswitches to...
