Never got my blue beams, and they aren't even offered anymore!
When I upgraded to Gen4 in Feb 2016, I expected to get the blue beams that were in the Gen4 TV ads. I never did, though I patiently waited. Now, I see that the blue beams are no longer included, as...
Usage rates have to be above a certain amount before the Blue Beams become visible or so I've heard.

Wait a minute. So being the king of data misers with Gen4 had the inadvertent effect of assuring that I would never see the blue beams? Ugh.
It couldn't be the alignment of the flux inductors. I bought "Flux Inductors for Dummies" and followed the instructions to a T. And, just between you and me, I even hacked into the "Americans for Proper Flux Induction" secret site and learned the best way to set them, even using linears (think an old CB radio)! So, I know that they are adjusted for optimal performance.
It's a heat issue, isn't it? Yep. It must be. Because I never gave it a true workout the dish would never heat up, therefore keeping the beam invisible. Darnit!
