    SXM still giving discounts

    Yeah.... I've received deals for (about) $99 a year before, but not $99 for 3 years.

    SXM still giving discounts

    If I recall, the CSR I had on my first call told me the $99 deal was only good for those who got a particular offer in the mail (e-mail?) and that they had sent them to people who had cars > 7 years old. Not sure why.

    SXM still giving discounts

    I got mine renewed for $3.18 a month for 3 years ($99 for 3 years) on two newish vehicles. See below for details! I let the subscription run out on my 21 Honda Ridgeline truck and my Wife's trial on her 25 Lexus ran out. I tried to get a deal better than $6ish a month before they expired, but...

    I just renewed online.

    I got lazy because I hate to call in. I checked my credit card statement and found that I was paying >$50/month for 2 vehicles! I went online and clicked cancel and got All Access for $100 and select on the other vehicle for $60 per year (+fees). Looks like I saved about $450 a year and...

    Locals from two nearby cities- Central Texas

    Thanks all! Is there any way that I can get the locals from the two markets integrated into my Dish Hopper and guide? I'd prefer not to have to switch inputs to my OTA tuners on the TVs if I can avoid it. I know that I can do it for San Antonio, but can I do it for the Austin stations as...

    Locals from two nearby cities- Central Texas

    In a few months we will be moving from Austin to New Braunfels, Texas. Local news for NB comes from San Antonio. Our home isn't built yet, but I believe that we are on the edge of San Antonio OTA and the ragged edge of Austin OTA signals. The two cities are in (almost) opposite directions...

    Team Summit 2019

    Great coverage and information Scott! I miss the old days when this stuff was reallly happening at CES. You and your friends were there to cover it. All makes me re-energized about Dish! (If you hear anything new about Smart Box, let me know or grab some info). Safe Travels!

    Wally RV Problems- Software Update?

    Thanks Rubenray! This post in your link is the best clue so far... Here's what I just got from Winegard Customer Support. Hopefully Dish is tuned in and working on a Fix! "...The U801 software version is causing an inconsistent voltage issue on the receiver which is th reason you are getting...

    Wally RV Problems- Software Update?

    I saw it on the Facebook "Tiffin Motorhomes Technical Forum" on Facebook. It is hard to post a direct link, but you can search. It looks like the folks with the "dome antennas" are complaining about a variety of symptoms since an update on 4/24. Some are getting pushed to SD, some have...

    Wally RV Problems- Software Update?

    I've been following an RV forum where multiple Wally users say they began having problems with a frequent "signal loss" message. They are all saying that this popped up in the last few days, possibly after a software update. Any ideas? Is Dish aware/working on this??

    Scott's Friend Leaving Dish

    Vivek certainly will be missed! Somehow, I suspect that there is more to the story. It appears that this is where he is going: Liberty Latin America Appoints Vivek Khemka as Chief Technology and Product Officer

    Ham and Dish Ground

    I'm starting to think about getting my ham shack set up at the house. It has been many, many years since I've played with any of the HF stuff. I will have a second floor ham shack with some type of long-wire antenna, which will likely be in the eaves. I'm starting to consider grounding...

    Why we are not going to CES.

    Yeah.... It all adds up. While it is fun to gadget-watch and people-watch, It has become too durn expensive. A few years ago, I had a clean and fairly nice hotel that I could get for less than $100 per night. This year (I just looked), rooms are $419 at the same place! When you add that to...

    Iphone 8 Battery Life

    I'm getting about 3 full days, like 72 hours, (really!) of battery life on my Iphone 8. That compares with about a day on my 6s. I did a backup and restore, so app demand should be similar on both. Are others seeing the same thing?

    Smartbox and IP Output

    We're giving some thought into installing Smartbox in a large communications center. We'd like to have the option for multi-channel TV on flat panel TVs, as well as an IP interface so that channels can be viewed on operator's PCs. Does anyone have experience with this? I see some limited...

    Ham Radio guys on this forum

    Yes... Other than being a "WN8" as a Novice and now a "WB8" when I got my General way back when, I have the same call, even though I now live in "5" land.
