I just watched a 41 year old woman who has a 16 year old son competing in the vault. I'm impressed. A 41-year-old mother competing in her 7th Olympics as a gymnast has a surprising routine to keep in shape http://www.businessinsider.com/oksana-chusovitina-uzbekistan-gymnastics-2016-8

A little late with the comment but I thought it was a nice ending to a great series. Now I'm waiting for the last season of Rectify in October.

If they're serious they should have been after Comcast ever since they bought NBC. They were supposed to end the terrestrial loophole which enabled them to keep CSN Philly off of Dish and Direct. Every local cable company carries it in their basic (not lifeline) packages so it can't be that...

I use a free photo utility called Irfanview for playing with my pics. I've been using it for years and have never been disappointed with it. I just opened a jpeg of a babe in a bikini, saved it as a pdf, opened it with Adobe Reader and she looks great. I use the full version with plugins...

BTW now is the time for subs who were hesitant about discounts from Dish to use your leverage. I got 6 more months of the 4 premiums at 1/2 off and half off of the Sports pkg. Technically any way. I actually canceled the Sports pkg temporarily because I live in the Philly RSN and get no regional...

I used to LMAO reading in the other forum about the discussions over which Red Zone was better.

I watched the Manhattan series that WGN made and thought it was very good but they cancelled it so I've got no dog in this hunt now.

Looks like the season finale recorded OK this morning. I'll watch it soon.

I found this out yesterday when I went to watch it. There's one more show scheduled for Sunday 1230 AM. Sometimes my Hopper doesn't record an early AM show although I think that only happens when a conflict moves a recording to the midnight hour. If this one doesn't record I'll be an unhappy camper.

My DVR has a new show scheduled for Saturday night. It's the last season for one of my favorite series.

I have what is essentially the AEP with 2 H2Ks and a Joey. I've been with Dish since 2010. I have gotten discounts of about $25 a month for the last 2.5 years by just calling, noting that my latest 6 month discount is ending, and asking if there are any new ones that I'm eligible for. My latest...

Same result for me also a month or so ago. Website wanted $20, best I saw on ebay was $14 w/shipping, called Dish and got 2 replacement 40.0s for free. No hassles, no return of old units.

Give the NYers back their RSNs right after they finally give us Philly subs our CSN Philly. We get no local RSN channels with the sports pkg and to add insult to injury we're also excepted from getting BTN unless we get it thru the sports pkg so we're paying whatever it is a month to get a...

I have the same problem with ABC PTAT recordings on one of my Hoppers.

AFAIC they can drop them all. The only thing I'll miss is new episodes of South Park.
