    It seems the Dish board gets more traffic than the DirecTV board.

    The board started with both (and VOOM), but Dish has been a more colorful company with endless intrigue. Law suits involving most of the industry, retransmission disputes galore, endless product tangents, cowboy quotes from its founder, etc... Essentially Dish has always had a ton more news...

    Lag when typing

    I have a 5 year old i3 (also running windows 7) that I notice lags a lot when I have 50 posts per page on pages that have near 50 posts on it. My newer machines perform great. I assume it probably has to do with a lot of content running in combination with the editor.

    Lag when typing

    I suspect that you are on an older computer typing on a thread page with a lot of posts. You can solve this by cutting back the number of posts per page.

    I suspect the main difference is the links to facebook, twitter, youtube, etc that are on the bottom of the normal but are missing on the classic...

    Feedback Requested

    It is also nice for non Dish users, I still go through the Dish forum to keep up with what Dish is doing, and not having a bunch of threads about which remote button does something is nice...

    Feedback Requested

    Considering how important the hopper is, a separate forum is probably still important. When the next "best" receiver comes out, perhaps change the forum.

    What are you using for your DNS server? Are you using the automatic one form your ISP or did you put in something like Google's or OpenDNS? The drawback of using one of the global ones is that you may not get the ideal connection from content delivery services since they use different IP...

    Remove the ads, remove the ads, remove the ads

    The hosting world has changed a lot since this site has gone up, it probably could be done for a lot less using leased/rented hardware verses colocation now.

    Complaints about access to Satelliteguys

    It is not really hard to stay in the guidelines if you want to do so. For example saying the FCC released regulations that did X would be "factual", it happened, you can point the the regulations. But, lamenting political party Y forced the FCC into issuing X regulation because they were...

    Complaints about access to Satelliteguys

    Factual politics are allowed. Things like the FCC is considering reclassifying broadband or a news story that the President calls on the FCC to do something. When it strays into opinions is when the posts are curtailed. Even then I have found the moderators leave a lot of leeway with...

    System Updated

    The problem with using Google or OpenDNS is that content delivered via content delivery networks (CDNs) do not work well. The CDN IP address is based on the DNS resolver's IP address. So, satelliteguys.us's CDN returns an IP address that is best to deliver to Google's DNS server, not...

    So how's things?

    It does seem to have improved a lot. I seem to see faster service from the server than from the CDN networks.

    Server error

    Hmm interesting, I had noticed it was doing something strange last week when posts were being marked as best answer even though the thread had nothing to do with a question.

    Getting Ready for XenForo 1.4

    The "Tools" menu selection is kind of annoying on every post since the only thing in the "Tools" menu is report post.
