    USA Network PQ

    If they do recruit a new pair to take over, people like me would probably quit watching. The cast is what makes these shows popular and if they change the cast, they change the show.

    The Turner Channels no longer have Iogos.

    Maybe Ted Turner and Charlie are still fighting???

    Question... What was your FAVORITE Christmas Gift of ALL TIME?!

    A "Short Wave" reciever - Hallicrafters S-38. I listened for hours to broadcasts from all over the world and a year or so later obtained my ham license.

    New Roof...same location

    RG-6Q are for use on "quad shield" cables - slightly larger diameter so the connector is also slightly larger.

    Why do people call Dish?

    QUOTE]Do you suppose that means they will layoff people at the American call centers after they add these positions overseas?[ I'd bet on it! Some years ago I work at a call center in my hometown that provided service for the "other guys" as well as several other companies. I was a trainer...

    Hey Dish, We need it quickly or somebody else will

    If we have to go to "interactive tv" then I'll probably go back to OTA TV. Won't get many of the shows that I enjoy watching - won't get CNN, etc. But I didn't get those for the first 40 or so years of my TV viewing either. I'll leave the interactive stuff to the youngsters.

    Annual Paid Programming Ceased

    Just got the same letter today. The savings that the annual payment allowed has been shrinking the last few years but it did let me postpone several of the price hikes for a few months each year. At least I won't see the latest price hike until January.

    RIP Original Mouseketeer Annette Funicello

    That it is!! My wife has the same disease (and is about the same age). She has been in a local nursing home the last three years, because heart issues keep me from being able to care for her at home.

    Denver Business Journal interviews Dish CEO Joe Clayton

    I'm not so sure it is a "pathetic" way. The younger generation is the next generation of leaders. Us "old folk" have passed the torch, like it or not. Let's sit back and watch - it will be fun.
