    Well, At Least Lloyd Carr Gets It Over With Right Away!!!

    Re-Broadcast OT - I'm reading in the paper this morning that the game is going to be re-broadcast tonight on 13 Fox Sports Net stations. I'm having no luck finding out if we'll get it on one of our affiliates in L.A. Does anyone know? :confused: I would love to see that game.

    Skip Back and Rewind wasn't working on Channel 9480 or 9486 (fixed)

    I have a 622 and I'm not having any problems with either of those channels. All trick play functions work and all recordings work. I just ran tests to confirm and both are fine here. When I had a 921, we had a similar issue on one channel - E* was able to correct it.

    Canadian Question

    Ok, with apologies for hijacking the thread, I'll just close with this Canadian favorite: Question: What do drinking American beer and making love in a canoe have in common? Answer: They're both as close to f'in water as you'll ever get. (mods, please don't take away my access for this :p)

    Canadian Question

    You just said that because you know I will not speak ill of a "Flames" fan...:) However, as I am compelled to correct inaccuracies, light beer in Canada has more alcohol in it than "regular" beer does in the US. How else do you expect them to keep warm in the winter?

    Canadian Question

    When I sober up, I'll let you know. But in the meantime, I'll leave you with two extremely important words to Canadians who drink beer - alcohol content. :D

    De La Hoya Interview: Protected SPAM on 622

    That's exactly what I'm saying. I went straight to "delete" and it prompted me for my code to unprotect it first. As I said, I don't really get my back up over this stuff - I just felt that's going a little too far to try to 'force' the viewer to see the video. But I won't call my...

    It's sad. Most of my relationships at least make it to the third round. :( Unfortunately, I'm blacked out of the VS Ducks games - and I'm not really in Duck territority - I'm for the Canucks in that series.

    De La Hoya Interview: Protected SPAM on 622

    I just noticed that. I don't really care about them sending the video but am a little miffed that they locked it to try to force the viewer to watch it. That's a little over the top.

    I feel that we have come to a major crossroads in our relationship... However, since you put it so nicely...I defer to the member from Pennsylvania...but no sir, I don't LIKE it! :mad: ...and may all of our "bonus coverage" be in HD...
