I wasn't trolling or thinking I was special... I was making chit chat, and sort of reconnecting with old friends.

Anyone remember me? I've been out for 15 years, had Dish for a while. I still like and respect them, but severed ties a while back. But I'm back into FTA! :) 1580353297 (yes, still collecting those space beams)

Wendy's is going nuts with the Frosty... vanilla, float, shakes, their own version of the Blizzard McFrosty™ (that's what I call all of those), etc. But, with that said, the new Frosty shakes are the best fast food dessert in my opinion. :) Also, Wendy's happens to be my favorite fast food...

I was in a local RadioShack several years ago and found a 4-input one on clearance for $9.99. I bought it and it works great. If you'd like the catalog number, I can check it later tonight.

Currently, most of the digital signals are transmitted on UHF frequencies. However, more will be transmitted on VHF frequencies after February of next year. For the current situation in your area, check with antennaweb.org and look at the frequency assignments (2-13 is VHF, 14+ is UHF). Be...

I found the original story, and did a loose manual translation. Translation: So... the above is completely made up, if you haven't noticed yet. ;)

Welcome to SatelliteGuys.US, IrishBrewer. :) Locals that are provided via the satellite (so, not via antenna) can be watched from TV1 and TV2. That poorly worded line in their help screen is only referring to local channels received through an antenna.

It's the Slingbox Solo. I'm going to put it on my FTA receiver. I've always wanted one so I can catch noteworthy feeds while I'm at work or elsewhere. And it will greatly simplify the dish fine-tuning process. :) I'm also thinking about putting a manual A/V switcher in front of the Slingbox...

Quite an unforgettable experience! Ok, so my post above was completely and utterly fictitious, forgive me. :D In truth, I did have a great time there. I know everyone in attentance really appreciates the time Charlie, Eric, Leslie, and the others gave us. We were all especially impressed...

The meet & greet was a good time. Charlie took us on a tour of his private jet, pretty cool inside: While we were in the jet, he suggested a quick little safari in Africa. No one objected. This rhino came right up to us: Then we flew to the uplink center in Cheyenne. It was a...

Same with me. I had all of them (well, the ones on 110 & 119) when I had AT200 and later AT100, but after switching to dishHD I only had NASA.

I have the HD-only package, which up until tonight has not included the P.I. channels (9400-9417), at least on my receivers. Now those channels are available to me. The guide information is almost entirely missing, which is always the case with new additions (and I did see the two threads...

So it looks like in my case I'll be stimulating the economy by buying up lots of tequila that day. :D

Scott posted in here to confirm those of us that had signed up before he made it open to everyone. I imagine he will do the same soon for those that signed up since then. By my count, there are now 20 signed up (if voyagerbob is included since he was tentative). Also by my count, I have by...

????? I'm not sure what you're talking about (you didn't include any quoted post for context). Earlier there was mention of a "big bang" (with a G). I take this to mean they're hoping a bunch ("bunch" used very loosely) of HD channels will be made available next week if none are made...
