    Stargate SG-1 Discussion

    They had to get the gate calibration fixed (on of Sam's contributions if I remember right). -Sorry to step into the thread out of no where but am/was an avid Stargate series fan since it began and I happened to see the discussion roll by in my phone. I haven't been through the whole thread...

    Hopper Upgrades

    Same-to-same no reply either. If it is helpful, I would be a simple upgrade. 722 lease to 1 hopper 3 joey. :)

    Is channel 365 (OLMPB) crooked?

    I think you are seeing an optical illusion. Or at least, I can't see the problem as described. I however was equally lazy and didn't break out the tape measure :D

    Installer #2 - he called, he came, he arrived and left on time. Like clock work. Kudos to an installer that knows what he is doing. The only sad part as it turns out is I can't get a good enough signal anyway without a mounted extension (that violated the lease here). So all of last...

    Keep in mind (though I don't recall if I stated it before) that the install was still listed as 'Pending' when I called the first csr 40 minutes after the window had transpired. The 'surprise surprise' if he failed to make any of the 3 efforts to gain access to the building, then why would I...

    Weather Channel HD Coming ....

    They give 'maternity leave' a new meaning... I guess they just get bored of the job after 6 months and then *whammo* baby on the way.

    A&E HD To Launch Wednesday

    So to summarize, we now have: Full HD HD Lite Skim HD (courtesy of A&E HD) in case you don't get the skim relationship - it is like water, but without the milk. :D

    Anyone notice the major increase in commercials being shot in HD ?

    Not nearly as funny as 2 comparable HD Televisions sitting in Best Buy / Circuit City with one getting and SD signal and the other an HD signal and the guy telling you the one that is more expensive (and getting the HD signal) is clearly the better TV. :-)

    Weather Channel HD Coming ....

    If only there was a way to tie this to global warming. ;) ... I'll just wait, I'm sure someone at the weather channel will think of a way... :rolleyes:

    LOL yes the 12AM would be better served as 'NOON' but you get the point.

    Admittedly this is a Rant, but hopefully there is enough spice and humor in it that the read is worth it. :) :) :) So I just physically moved to Pasadena, schedule the installer in advance to be here Wednesday morning (I flew in on tuesday) to put a tripod setup on the balcony of the...
