Thanks To All Of You! ​

WOW! As the days click off toward the opening of SBE 2007 West, the registrations are also clicking. We are seeing very few single registrations, it seems companies are registering all their employees to attend SBE 2007 West. Registrations are also coming in from all over the world, we have received registrations from as far away as Africa. We usually average having attendees from around 10-13 countries at each show, but it appears the Reno show is going to top them all.

We wanted to take the time to say thank-you to all of you that are helping spread the word about the show. Direct mail and other orms of advertising can only do so much and reach so many people, we have found word of mouth advertising about the show to be the very best kind. We would also like to say a very special thank-you to the folks at DISH Network for advertising the SBE 2007 West show on the last DISH Network Retailer Chat.

Exhibit Space Still Available ​

Attention, distributors, manufacturers and service providers, we still have some exhibit space available in some excellent locations. The attendees of a Satellite & Broadband Expo come to do business. Our surveys have determined over 70% of those attending an SBE event are the decision makers within their company...a number like that is almost unheard of. In addition, 42% of the attendees you meet at an SBE event, attend no othe rtradeshow, that's right, SBE is the only tradeshow/conference they attend.

Exhibitor rates at SBE 2007 West are reasonable, and ask anyone that has exhibited at one of the SBE events, they will tell yo they would rather exhibit here than any where else. Perhaps the quality of the show is the reason we attract exhibitors such as WorldTV, DISH Network, SES-AMERICOM, WildBlue, ADT, Winegard, etc.

We welcome your inquiry about exhibiting. Feel free to drop us an email at: Info@JEMcommunicationsinc.com or to take a look at the exhibitor prospectus, click here.

Important Things To Remember About SBE 2007 West ​

1. Registration for SBE 2007 West is free ONLY for another 16 days. On September 10th registration goes back to the regular rate of $100 for a 3 day registration. You may click here to be taken to the registration section of the SBE 2007 West website and register before the free registration ends.

2. The Atlantis Hotel & Casino is the place to lay your head while attending SBE 2007 West. Since everything that isn't happening at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center happens at the Atlantis, why would you want to stay anywhere else? The show rate for rooms is only $109 per night, check it out by clicking here.

3. Attendees must pre-register for any classes as well as the Virginia City Shopping and Sightseeing tour. Some of the classes are filling fast enought that we have added second classes. If you wait until you get to Reno to try to register for classes you might find yourself not being able to attend the very classes you made the trip for. Don't take a chance, register for the free training classes today by clicking here.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Pissed off at the crappy healthcare costs

My health Insurance renewal for 2027 just came in. Going from $827 a month to $1,187 a month. Deductible going up a $1k to $9,350. Max out of pocket also going up $1k to $11,000. Doctor co-pay of $40. Urgent Care co-pay $50. ER 50% coinsurance after deductible. That's all in network. Out of network is double, should it be needed.

Have to think about this. I'm really tempted to just go without now. I only go to the doctor once or twice a year. I pay out of pocket for Tirzepitide and can do without the Rosuvastatin (crestor) now. Really tired of spending over $10k a year and getting nothing out of it.

After years with Blue Cross I switched last year to Ambetter as my Blue Cross premium was going from $1200 to $1800 for a Silver plan and the Bronze plan was still going to be $1300 at BCBS. Ambetter was $827 for the same coverage with a Bronze plan. Didn't think it would jump this much so soon.

I'm guessing a Silver plan is probably over $2,000 a month for 2027.

Why isn't this Political thread over in the Pit? This is why there is a Pit, and why I rarely use the Chit Chat Club. But someone said, "The Pub is Elitist since you have to pay dues to enter, so please post in the Chit Chat forum so more guests can read and participate."

Because health care shouldn't be a political issue?

I didn't start it as a political statement and have no interest in the political BS of this country. Everyone wants to make everything political nowadays. This was just my rant over the outrageous increase in my premiums and how unaffordable healthcare is becoming to the average person here.

admin can close or delete it if they don't want here.

There are no dues to be paid to be in the Pit. You just have to use the password which is clearly shown when you try to log in to it.

I have Dish Hopper and Hopper Plus and also have Alexa Echo. I link the Alex skill to Dish and it asks me to enter the pairing code shown on the TV. I go into Dish Settings and there is no Alexa shown. Not sure what to do.

Understood. But here's the rub - Google Assistant setup is ALSO missing from the Hopper Plus setup. I'm a paraplegic.and need to use voice controls as much as possible but I can't press a button on the remote to activate Google Assistant. I prefer ALEXA (or ALEXA+) but I have one older google device and will go that route IF they make it available. BTW calling Dish Customer Service is no help- they just say they have no info on if/when there will be an update.

Tell Alexa verbally what to do.

What is the purpose of connecting Alexa and the H3?
I stand up from my chair with my glass in one hand and my plate in the other, when a story I really want to hear comes on the TV. So I say, "Alexa, pause DISH", and it waits for me to return from the kitchen, at which time I say, "Alexa, resume DISH".

Or maybe, when I return with a full glass in one hand and a new plate in the other, I realize I forgot to pause to hear this good story from its start. So I say, "Alexa, skip DISH backwards 3 minutes", and I still get to catch the whole story.

I use this every day. Or until I acquire a third hand.
