Same little birdie; I see (I love learning). The picture still looks better this morning and looks better the longer I am up. The effects of the Grey Goose must be diminishing. I must remind the optometrist I see better when I have had a "shot" .... and can barely remain in the sitting position!

Now ........ I have a question. Is it possible this temporary satellite and transponders etc are NOT COMPRESSING the signal as much as the sick little bird? It may be the bottle of Grey Goose - but things look "sharper" to me on this birdie than the one that went astray. Just askin'...

Now this is too long to quote it all ....... however, THANK YOU and you score the best post of the day. Laughed until my Depends leaked and I spotted the recliner. Amazing --- simply amazing! WELL DONE...

Betty Bobbie is gonna come home Friday night and expect all those soap operas to be ready to view. Cut on the T&V .... slap the go-button for the DVR .... look at "Me Recordin's" .... select Day of Our Lives .... mash the button to play .... and wet her drawers. Then the fun begins.:eek:

"The interruption mainly affected high definition channels to a portion of DISH Network customers. Standard definition channels were largely unaffected resulting in a majority of DISH Network customers not being affected at all." "...not being affected at all." ............ yea right! Not at...

JIM ............ a homemade antenna should do just fine though for OTA , huh?? That or a VERY inexpensive store bought one covering UHF/VHF? The home made works 100% for the majors in my neck of the woods. I don't get the five "Praise the lordie" or "Buy Me Now" channels .... but then, I don't...

It's a satellite .... they ALWAYS expect something to happen. The "backup" is wwaaaayyyyyyyy over ......... THERE ------>;) (look up).:D

PHOTOG ...... the rabbit ears are primarily VHF signal-grabbers I believe. The OTA is now UHF (me thinks) so that's the antenna you might need. IF you are relatively close to the stations antennas (30 miles works for me) you might just try a piece of wire .... bend each end so you can attach a...

I agree. In fact I agreed in my other post --- the one where I mentioned I didn't think we owe the DN technicians any specific THANKS because that is what they are suppose to do .... fix it. I said all you did and more .... no disagreement at all. I just used more crazy "smilies" AND included...

I did all the resets and bowed to the South three times while holding the old battle-ax'es head in a tub of Draino ....... she sputtered and spurted still sayin' she can't find the rest of the STARZ and HBO thingies. Perhaps I am still missin' somethin'? Perhaps .... maybe .... could be so...

Awwww..... come on ....... is this FACT or FICTION?:facepalm:neener:shocked:no:no:no:no:no

The outage left Dish subscribers scrambling to find a solution Tuesday night and this morning. With Dish offering few answers, many customers flooded SatelliteGuys, :hatsoff::hatsoff::hatsoff: an online VERY HELPFUL AND INFORMATIVE forum for satellite subscribers. The ALWAYS HELPFUL site...

Maybe a quick mention about THIS:high5: from the DN gents on SG's?:confused: The battle-ax is bustin' my tender parts over the loss of the missing channels (IF they are really missing). I did a soft / semi-soft / semi-hard and cut-the-power reset of the 722k, but she swears there are some...

Why so? It's their JOB to provide the service. I didn't see any KUDOS flying my way when I spent a week in the rain working on downed lines and helping people who never considered checking their own circuit breakers to see if "just by chance" the performed as they should and tripped. Sure the...

Or the front end on the old truck!
