    And all the time self installed? Hm, that must have been the rare big-box store that DiSH was in back then. Charlie desperately wanted to be in all of them but DTV had locked up exclusives.

    The Original Theatrical Cut of ‘Star Wars’ Is Coming Back to Theaters

    I'd never heard of any kind of edit occurring during the initial run. That would be really unusual, and you'd think it'd have to be for some very significant reason...

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    In Europe last summer I observed that many the public loos are pay. You have to drop your euros into a slot for the turnstile to admit you, and there is an attendant on duty. I suppose this helps to raise revenue but it's likely also serves maintain orderliness and cleanliness.

    Quick question

    I nominate the DiSH Network ViP722(k) as the best home satellite receiver of all time. Especially considering its longevity in service and innovative design (I think it actually won some kind of award). DiSH was the tech, DVR & HD leader and 722 culminated the HD revolution.

    What Snow?

    Doesn't it always seem to target the driveway? Because of the ditches that cause snow to dump right on the roadway? Haven't really seen that around here nearly as much as back in the late 70s. The state has stopped putting out snow fences, I guess maybe both from the fewer big snow dumps as well...
