Call me crazy, but I've noticed a few times recently where DirecTV has somehow managed to inject local ads into national network commercial breaks, something I've only seen from regional cable operators. Anyone know how this works?

To those of you with DISH wanting to watch Minnesota....BigTen Network has messed it up and they currently have no feed due to 'technical difficulties'...so you aren't missing much.

Does anyone have any information on what's involved as far as receiver setup when it comes to swapping out a regular SL3 LNB with a SWM LNB? I know about the new LNB and the power inserter, but do I need to do anything to the receiver? I remember seeing a training video on how to configure your...

Trust me, I've got the DVR set for curling...I'm a third shifter though, and we only get to pick from CNN HD, Fox News HD, and MSNBC notsoHD

I think everyone is missing the point here...not only are we missing hockey in HD, but we're missing the daily 3am showing CURLING in HD!!!

Does SatelliteGuys have anyway to change a username, without creating a new account? I didn't see any options in the User CP

I agree on the deeper playlists as well....for those of us who had XM before XM and Sirius merged, you know what I mean. I miss Fred Lucy and Ethel, and at least these SonicTap channels seem to bring some of that deepness back to my alternative needs.

Not to sound high and mighty, but the quality of XM on DirecTV was a LOT better than you will receive on any home unit. I think you'll be very disappointed.

Have you searched up and down your RSN's for alternate channels for your provider? When I lived in Indiana, I received FSN Midwest, which occasionally showed blacked out Cincinnati Reds games. HOWEVER, because I was in Reds territory, I would always receive Reds games on one of the alternate...

They're offering 'high quality' live streaming coverage at America's Cup TV - 33rd America's Cup And from America's Cup website... "With less than two weeks until the first races of the 33rd America’s Cup, a massive TV broadcast reach has already been secured which should ensure that the...

When I lived in an apartment, I had a ka/ku slimline 3 mounted on a tripod, which was 'anchored' with six cement blocks. It sat on my balcony for two years without any issue. Granted, it was definitely a DIY job, but it got wind/snow/rain and I didn't have any problems. It hovered right around...

I enjoyed the XM channels, but it certainly isn't enough reason for me to jump ship. I have SiriXM in my car, so having a different music provider indoors will just widen my listening!

thanks for the heads up! i didn't know they weren't going to show it in the US...this is one of the few obscure sporting events I really enjoyed watching

Maybe its because I never see the sun in north eastern ohio...

I have Time Warner as well, 15meg down. Youtube is absolutely awful for me, where I can pull 20mbps down without issue on some torrents..... who knows!

I have Road Runner only, and I can confirm that they block out ALL ClearQAM channels.

This is probably why satellite radio is successful. I will admit, when I carried my Roady2 into a Penske moving truck, I couldn't tell how compressed and crummy it sounded. Stock radio systems just don't highlight the downfalls of satellite radio. Think of how many people you know who have...

boy nobody reads these satrad forums anymore! According to my Roady2, I get 2 bars instead of 3...and its been that way for a while now. I haven't really noticed anymore dropouts though. I've had this setup for YEARS (ever since the Roady2 came out)...I just assumed it was showing its age

H21 here...In the past few months I've definitely noticed audio dropouts and short term distorted sound on the XM audio channels. I always assumed it was because I pointed my dish myself, but I have signal levels in the mid 90s, so who knows... ....fortunately I guess I won't have to deal with...

You're definitely right about that, about missing the boat. As a ClearChannel sister station, they even use 'The Big One' tag line. Coupled with a lack of local news, they also air undesireable national talk shows. While some would argue that Rush or Glenn are better than the personalities on...

I think you nailed the big issue with AM radio, at least for me. The reason I love WLW from Cincinnati so much is because they actually still have their own 24 hour news team. They do live local news at least two times every hour, with additional news break ins if needed. Combine that with their...

Still a huge AM listener, between 700 WLW in Cincinnati, and 1100 WTAM in Cleveland. It should be noted that 700 WLW AM has dominated Cincinnati's Arbitron ratings for many years now, for all demographics.

If I could eat my words, I WOULD!! I've only lived in Cleveland for a few weeks now...The sun came out for the first time all week. All of that dry fluffy snow turned to packed, wet, heavy melty snow on the reflector, and BOOM, I literally was watching my HD go away. I put some shoes on and...

My tripod mounted slimline 3 is partially under a snow drift right now, with the LNB and reflector completely coated in snow...I'm still getting mid 80's for everything, which is not enough for me to put on a pair of boots to go knock off the snow! Of course, it is extremely powdery snow...

You have to be careful about jokes around all these diehard nerds!!
