Everybody,
Dish is moving channels again onto and off from different transponders on 61.5w.
There are only a few of our customers affected, at this point we are going to wait until they are done and then look for the best solution to fix the issue !
Have a great day
Mike
First pictures from the New Casino in the Coco Palm Hotel, Bar, Restaurant and Sports Bar. We have been working for almost 5 days to setup two new dishes, adjust one old dish, install 16 high resolution security cameras, recording equipment, 10 satellite feeds from Dish and DirecTV, eight plasma HDTV’s, add twelve channels into the existing but rewired Hotel Cable Network, Sirus satellite radio for restaurant / bar, casino and sports bar. Amplifiers for sound, HD projector for the Lazy Frog Bar, Internet access point and a Boxee HDTV media player for Twitter, FaceBook, YouTube and all other live internet apps on HD plasma TV in the sports bar for the customers. Battery backup and surge protection throughout.
When we finished and left, other guys still worked hard to get everything going, the gaming equipment looks great, slots, video, real poker and a high end computerized roulette. This is probably one of the most desirable combination of high end entertainment, gaming, sports bar, restaurant and hotel you can find in CR. The Coco Palm has it all, this is to our knowledge the second place with HDTV setup for the public right after the Win House. However, the Coco is the first one on the beach !
We like to take this opportunity to say Thank You for all the support and help we had from the Coco Palm team and of course from John !
We really appreciate business like this and will do our best to keep our customer as happy and satisfied as possible !

Thank YOU
p.s. the pictures to this are taken at night with a resolution camera, we will update those in a couple of weeks when we go back to this location to make some free of charge adjustments to the system and give some more training to the Coco Team
Here is THE FIRST SPORTSBAR with HDTV !
Many of our customers have the HD equipment installed but modulated into the cable network for the whole place. They have a HD signal on the receivers, but standard SD on the TV’s.
The Win House owners did this right, they have four HD signals going to 16 TV’s and a total of 12 satellite feeds into the cable network. They have REAL HDTV in their Bar going, Twitter and FaceBook in HD on the screens, they even have TV’s in the bathrooms !
When we finished the Job, there was still some work to do, but the Win House Team is confident to have a “Soft Opening” just for the Super Bowl. They have experience in the Bar / Restaurant business and they are doing this thing right ! The place has full A/C, a fantastic sound system, comfortable seating, great deco and 3 TV’s to the outside where you can sit as well and party with your friends.
The 1st WinHouse is located in the New Momentum commercial center in Curridabat - http://www.facebook.com/TheWinHouse
Here are some pictures: http://photos.dishcr.com/GalleryThumbnails.aspx?gallery=2399659 . We will go back there to take some more when the job is done, if you like to see our systems in action, this is the place to go !
This is the new standard for Sports Bars in Costa Rica !
Mike
Hi everybody,
Mike
We are not really going “Green” but we like to accommodate the wishes of our customers as much as possible. This particular gentleman ordered “Green Dishes”, both are “ Martin 300’s” , but he liked them not to be seen or not to stand out as much as our typical white satellite dishes. We have been skeptic about this experiment, but they turned out really great with fantastic signal strength even in a difficult zone where the customer is located.
The customer is going to plant some trees and other things around to have them even more disappear or blend in as do already.
You might think now, “what’s the big deal ?”, the problem was that a satellite dish cannot get painted on the front without losing signal, we mixed the resin used to build those with some special green additive to turn the normal white into green. The results can be seen in out photo section with more pictures. http://photos.dishcr.com/
TOTAL SUCCESS !
Great Signal and a happy customer


Hi everyone!
A big hurrah to you!!!!! We’ve won for now -- SOPA and PIPA were dropped by Congress today -- the votes we’ve been scrambling to mobilize against have been cancelled.
The largest online protest in history has fundamentally changed the game. You were heard.
On January 18th, 13 million of us took the time to tell Congress to protect free speech rights on the internet. Hundreds of millions, maybe a billion, people all around the world saw what we did on Wednesday. See the amazing numbers here and tell everyone what you did.
This was unprecedented. Your activism may have changed the way people fight for the public interest and basic rights forever.
The MPAA (the lobby for big movie studios which created these terrible bills) was shocked and seemingly humbled. “‘This was a whole new different game all of a sudden,’ MPAA Chairman and former Senator Chris Dodd told the New York Times. ‘[PIPA and SOPA were] considered by many to be a slam dunk.’”
“'This is altogether a new effect,' Mr. Dodd said, comparing the online movement to the Arab Spring. He could not remember seeing 'an effort that was moving with this degree of support change this dramatically' in the last four decades, he added."
Tweet with us, shout on the internet with us, let's celebrate: Round of applause to the 13 million people who stood up - #PIPA and #SOPA are tabled 4 now. #13millionapplause
We're indebted to everyone who helped in the beginning of this movement -- you, and all the sites that went out on a limb to protest in November -- Boing Boing and Mozilla Foundation (and thank you Tumblr, 4chan)! And the grassroots groups -- Public Knowledge, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Demand Progress, CDT, and many more.
#SOPA and #PIPA will likely return in some form. But when they do, we'll be ready. Can you make a donation to Fight for the Future, to help us keep this fire going?
We changed the game this fall, and we're not gonna stop. $8, $20, every little bit helps.
13 million strong,
Tiffiniy, Holmes, Joshua, Phil, CJ, Donny, Douglas, Nicholas, Dean, David S. and Moore... Fight for the Future!
P.S. China's internet censorship system reminds us why the fight for democratic principles is so important:
In the New Yorker: "Fittingly, perhaps, the discussion has unfolded on Weibo, the Twitter-like micro-blogging site that has a team of censors on staff to trim posts with sensitive political content. That is the arrangement that opponents of the bill have suggested would be required of American sites if they are compelled to police their users’ content for copyright violations. On Weibo, joking about SOPA’s similarities to Chinese censorship was sensitive enough that some posts on the subject were almost certainly deleted (though it can be hard to know).
...
After Chinese Web users got over the strangeness of hearing Americans debate the merits of screening the Web for objectionable content, they marvelled at the American response. Commentator Liu Qingyan wrote:
‘We should learn something from the way these American Internet companies protested against SOPA and PIPA. A free and democratic society depends on every one of us caring about politics and fighting for our rights. We will not achieve it by avoiding talk about politics.’"

January 09, 2012
Today at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas DISH CEO Joe Clayton introduced our new Whole-Home HD DVR entertainment system, featuring the Hopper and Joey.
The Hopper HD DVR and accompanying small Joey set-top boxes create a whole-home HD DVR entertainment system that lets DISH customers easily record, pause, and play back shows from any room in the home. While most whole-home DVRs do not have the same DVR functionality on every TV, the Hopper and Joey whole-home system offers the same DVR functionality on every TV, letting customers pause, play and rewind both live and recorded HD programs in up to four rooms.
Hopper unit features:
Three satellite TV tuners
A two-terabyte hard drive for up to 2,000 hours of video entertainment
Up to 250 hours of HD or up to 1,000 hours of SD user recordings
Bluetooth for linking to devices such as wireless headphones
Picture-in-picture for watching any two channels simultaneously
Combined with a Joey, the Hopper whole-home HD DVR system offers more advanced features:
750 MHz Broadcom processer – the fastest satellite receiver processor available today for a quick, responsive on-screen guide
Approximately 50 percent more energy efficient for a four-room installation than previous models
ZigBee RF4CE using a proprietary protocol remote with “remote control finder” alert
High definition user interface
Easy-to-use, fast, graphical, tile-based user interface with predictive search
Small, sleek chassis for convenient placement
PrimeTime Anytime™
The Hopper’s new, unparalleled feature, PrimeTime Anytime allows customers, with one click, to record using a single tuner all of the primetime TV programming from ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC – the networks that deliver the most popular shows during primetime. Once activated by a customer, PrimeTime Anytime records network programming in high definition, where available, every night and stores them for eight days after they have aired. This creates an on-demand library of approximately 100 hours of primetime TV shows, and makes it easy to catch up on episodes from last night and last week’s airing.
Additional Hopper Benefits
Recording Capabilities: The Hopper can record up to six TV shows at once (two live programs and four PrimeTime Anytime shows) while allowing viewers to watch up to four different recorded or on-demand shows in four rooms of the house, simultaneously. This gives a family a variety of options to control or view their recordings and to watch shows in any room from a single Hopper.
Blockbuster @Home™: The Hopper’s on-demand capabilities give access to DISH’s Blockbuster @Home™ for $10 per month which is now enhanced with more than 10,000 total titles streaming to the TV.
Dish Unplugged: The Hopper also offers on-demand content for customers with limited or no Internet access with a feature called DISH Unplugged. This feature delivers via satellite hundreds of the most popular movies and TV shows to the hard drive, including transactional and authenticated videos on demand. DISH Unplugged provides a high quality picture without buffering and makes available many of the same streaming movie choices offered by Blockbuster @Home, including premium movie access.
SiriusXM: For subscribers of DISH’s America’s Top 120 programming package or greater, the Hopper provides whole-home music distribution from 73 SiriusXM channels, including album art and a unique collapsible list of music channels located at the top of the channel guide at Channel 99, making it faster and easier for SiriusXM music fans to find their favorite music.
Apps: The Hopper will features TV apps that give viewers real time access to Facebook, Twitter, Pandora and photo sharing, as well as games, news, weather, sports, and stock quotes.
TV Everywhere
Customers can manage the Hopper via the Internet at www.DishOnline.com or the DISH Remote Access app, providing the ability to control DVR recordings on their tablets, smartphones and computers. Connecting the Hopper with DISH’s Sling® Adapter provides customers the ability to watch and control all live TV channels, PrimeTime Anytime programs and the DVR on their computer, tablet or smartphone wherever they go.
we have no pricing info at the moment, but will post as soon as availible !
On Jan. 18th there is going to be an all-out strike on the internet. Websites across the internet are going dark in protest of the internet censorship bills in the U.S.Congress, SOPA and PIPA.
Some of the biggest sites in the world are participating: Reddit, eBay, Google, Amazon, Mozilla. And some others may join (e.g. a leading micro-blogging platform and a popular collaboratively-written encyclopedia), but they need a nudge. If we can get them to join this will be EPIC.
Ask the biggest sites on the internet to join the strike. Click here.

if the channel you are looking for is not listed here, please don't hesitate to contact us and just asked !
Mike
what happened ?
Over the last couple of days we are getting calls from customers experiencing signal loose on some channels. After checking this issue we found that the dishes are slightly off and need a re-alignment!
So far we have clients asking about ESPN on 72.7w, CBS on 61.5w, B4UM on 61.5w and Univision on 72.7w all in Costa Rica
Some customers might not even have noticed this since the signal overall is strong on our dishes and only certain weak channels are going out earlier than before. I am sure there is still a lot of people out there blaming the weather for the weak signal, but it’s a fact that the signal from some transponders moved.
Something happened, the systems need a small adjustment to get back to normal !
Give us a call, we are happy to help
Mike
