And today, they announced the return of Cheers to the MeTV schedule. Chips has been overdue for a return to broadcast syndication for a long time, it's last known appearances being back earlier in the 2000s on TBS, albeit in an erratic overnight schedule. And Warner's apparent decision not...

I signed up with U-Verse mainly for the internet service. I needed an internet service that was totally reliable and that would allow me to work from home when I needed to. My only other choice in my area was a company I had never heard of called "Access Media 1". Did some research on that...

U-Verse internet is amazing I have their max package so I can be able to use it to work from home for my job on occasion. Well worth every penny.

Since you aren't under a contract, you might just get rid of them all together. Keep your internet service and get Hulu Plus or Netflix. Dish just isn't worth keeping in my opinion. I switched to DTV from them. When I moved to the big city a year ago, I switched to AT&T U-Verse and have...

1. HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, and the Movie Channel were up there. Spotlight was there, and Showtime bought them out and shut it down in early 84. Disney was there too. Other premiums included Home Theater Network which just a couple of hours per night, except on Sundays, and eventually evolved...

We got our first satellite setup, a Birdview dish with separate receiver/positioner in 85, the summer before HBO began VCII encryption. It was purchased because we had moved to the country from the city, and my dad got irritated with spending a lot of money on weekly VHS rentals. (The...

Those Houston Trackers were amazing. My dad had a Tracker V that served him for almost 15 years. Along with the old Birdview dish that sat in the back yard for about 20 years, it made for some excellent satellite viewing. Where our original Birdview setup was receiver, motor controller, and...

True, what I was asking was whether that was a Videocipher I decoder in that picture? Nobody has ever posted a picture online of what a Videocipher I Decoder looks like, from what I've recalled. All I've seen are the VCII commercial and residential decoders. It was only a thought that maybe...

A little picture for those of you in the television business or who have worked at network affiliates back in the day: http://www.akdart.com/vtr/jpeg/RB-324.jpg The picture in the link above is of KDFW-TV's satellite room circa late 1980s, back during their days as a CBS affiliate. If you'll...

Shepherd's Chapel, digital, and HD. Who would ever think that you would ever see that happening? :-D I always thought that it would be the last analog signal standing. But with the Weather Channel's analog signal finally going away.....anything is possible.

Actually I spoke wrong about Shepherd's Chapel.....they're about to go HD on August 1st. http://www.shepherdschapel.com/satellite-specifications.htm

Well, and with that.....Videocipher has faded into technological oblivion....31 years since satellite TV viewers first heard of the existence of the system when HBO announced that they were going to be using the system to encode their analog feeds, and 28.5 years since they carried out their...

http://www.radiodiscussions.com/forum.php Woke up this morning to an email that reported the return of Radio Discussions. And low and behold, it is back. And the community rejoices! I'm guessing that the backlash to Streamline's apparent sudden "f--k you" to the loyal RD users, finally...
