I got Satellite recently and It apparently runs on Wifi nowadays

but unfortunately this means if I turn on my PS3 or Wii, the signal for the satellite and the remote grow extremely weak and they won't do what you tell them to do

I've noticed that my 360 doesn't affect it at all, and I figured thats because its on the Ethernet cable


but I tried running my PS3 on an Ethernet cable, and went through the settings to properly hook it up, and it STILL eats up the Wifi for no reason, despite the system identifying the wire

ughhhughhh I hate technology

Run your SATELLITE through an ethernet cable.

And WTF satellite company runs their content through your home WiFi connection?

That's just stupid.

Yes, it needs the internet for "on demand" stuff, but not for normal programming. That's what the dish is for!

if you change your wifi password your ps3 won't connect to it instead of your ethernet.

I'm pretty sure my PS3 does it automatically, I didn't have to enter anything into it

If you have a secured network, you have to enter SOME authentication key into your PS3.

PS3: It does everything, including hack your wi-fi.

But anyway, I need clarification.

What satellite company are you using?

Are you literally saying that there is no direct connection from your dish to your receiver, and that somehow you're getting all your content over your WiFi network?

I asked why and he said "Ess jus da way it es"

so uh


outside knowing it eats up my wifi, I don't f***ing know what I have here

LOL this is a great story.

Did you actually ORDER satellite from somewhere or did this guy just show up and start installing?

So yeah, satellite needs an internet connection for "OnDemand" stuff (which it actually has to download since there's no way to do it like cable does it over the airwaves like that).

Your options are as follows:
1.) Go through your receiver box's menu and find some way to disable the WiFi connection. It is a non-essential feature, but one that's enabled by default.

2.) Hook up an ethernet cable to your actual receiver and leave the game consoles like they were. That should help, unless your internet is just crappy in general.

How often would you be watching satellite and playing a game at the same time, anyway?

I'm lookin

I can find the options to TEST my connection, and it definitely identifies my wifi, but I can't find anywhere to disable it

2.) Hook up an ethernet cable to your actual receiver and leave the game consoles like they were. That should help, unless your internet is just crappy in general.


like, my wifi receiver? Thats what I did

and its not crappy cause my 360 runs fine this way!

The Mrs. is watching the TV in the living room. and I'm herei n the game room and I recently got Netflix so yea >_>

and XBL Gold ran out so I can't access Netflix on the 360 >_>

If I turn it on, her remote stops working

The remote thing is puzzling. The remote control should definitely not be using your WiFi network to function.

Interference maybe? That's really the only guess I have there.

Personally I would call Dish Network and ask some questions.

And no, I meant run an ethernet cable FROM your WiFi modem/gateway/router/whatever TO your Satellite Box.

That way it's not using the WiFi at all, although...the remote still would be? No freaking clue.

okay

so I managed to find out how to set up a wired connection using my Dish box

AND GUESS WHAT

Turning on the PS3 STILL ****s with my second TV

I just said **** it and called Customer support

I explained my entire situation and they said that at this point, its safe to assume that the playstation is giving off something thats interfering with the other TV

since we removed the wifi factor out of it


so in other words

FML

to elaborate, I only have one ethernet cable to work with

its normally plugged into the 360, but I was using it to try to plug my PS3 directly into my router

then I used the same wire to directly plug my DISH box into it

thus leaving my PS3 still in the wired settings

so yea
