    They're (He's) Baaaaack!

    I wasn't trolling or thinking I was special... I was making chit chat, and sort of reconnecting with old friends.

    They're (He's) Baaaaack!

    Anyone remember me? I've been out for 15 years, had Dish for a while. I still like and respect them, but severed ties a while back. But I'm back into FTA! :) 1580353297 (yes, still collecting those space beams)

    Where's the best fast-food place to get dessert?

    Wendy's is going nuts with the Frosty... vanilla, float, shakes, their own version of the Blizzard McFrosty™ (that's what I call all of those), etc. But, with that said, the new Frosty shakes are the best fast food dessert in my opinion. :) Also, Wendy's happens to be my favorite fast food...

    Antenna for digital to analog converter….

    Currently, most of the digital signals are transmitted on UHF frequencies. However, more will be transmitted on VHF frequencies after February of next year. For the current situation in your area, check with antennaweb.org and look at the frequency assignments (2-13 is VHF, 14+ is UHF). Be...

    Earthquake!

    Early this morning I woke up for no reason, and just a minute or two later at 5:39am my closet doors started tapping each other and the bed shook a little. I figured it was an earthquake since it lasted so long (20-30 seconds). The tapping doors woke my fiancée woke up. I am 304 miles (489...

    Crappy vaccine

    Yeah, that can add up pretty quickly, and it all just goes down the drain. Not to mention the monetary costs... ;)

    Good Year Blimp

    I think there are actually a handful of Goodyear Blimps throughout the U.S., or am I mistaken? Or maybe that was the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile... or maybe both, I dunno. :)

    Favorite Cover songs

    Ah, thanks Paul, I know that song but never realized it was simply called "One". I do like that one too, so I'll add it to that one list. ;)

    Favorite Cover songs

    A few years ago I noticed that I like all songs published with the title "One". At least all the ones (no pun intended) that I know of: Metallica, U2, and Creed, Three Dog Night (all different songs, same title).

    Favorite Cover songs

    I really like: Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails. Disturbed's cover of "Land of Confusion" by Genesis In both cases, I like the cover better than the original. I am all for credit being given where it's due, so it bugs me when a band does a cover and fans assume it is an...

    Heath Ledger and UFO SIGHTINGS

    Speaking of pain in the ass, I still don't see why anyone would want to capitalize every single word they type. :confused:

    Then you haven't seen Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993). :D

    Is Stars still alive?

    Ah, I remember reading something about that a while back. I haven't seen anything else about it though.

    Is Stars still alive?

    Make that two of us. Do you mean the premium movie network?

    How to find your member ID:

    It works fine for me in Firefox by simply moving the mouse over a the avatar picture in a post by the user, rather than over the username (so... go left a few dozen pixels ;)).

    rirwin1983 - scam continue

    That's good to hear. :) Wasn't there something brewing here behind the scenes though? I'm referring to a couple posts where you mentioned a "little surprise" (http://www.satelliteguys.us/1034912-post40.html) and "some movement" (http://www.satelliteguys.us/1043901-post114.html). I don't mean...

    McRib

    McRib is (was) good, but it's certainly no Arby-Q :) When I was younger I loved the McRib. But now I don't like the strange consistency of the heavily processed meat (with whatever parts are in there). I do like their sauce though. Last weekend we drove halfway across the U.S. and along...

    avatars

    There's also the free/open source ImageMagick software (especially its "convert" tool). It's what I always use, in Linux/Unix environments, but they have versions available for Windows and Mac OS X.

    Halloween costume ideas

    This discussion gives me fond memories of the Letter People. :) We watched that a lot in my Kindergarten class, I think it was on PBS. Mr. H was "Horrible Hair".

    Halloween costume ideas

    As a SatelliteGuy I suggest you could go as an HDTV. :) Or there's simply the letter 'h' (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/Leatharegee/Whose%20Line/WLiiA_RyCol_03.gif from "Whose Line is it Anyway?") haha. Happy Feet penguin; Howard Stern would be an interesting one; He-Man :D; a couple...

    Sounds like a really interesting way to meet some fellow SatelliteGuys haha. :) I haven't had the misfortune of being scammed by this kid but I definitely want to see him get what he has coming. SatinKzo: see here.

    FCC: Continue analog cable until 2012

    My guess would be for the simplest (in my opinion) solution, convert the digital feed to analog - nothing to it. Cable companies would receive the broadcast station's digital content (via an ATSC tuner box and antenna, or via fibre, or whatever) and use the receiver's analog outputs (I don't...
