Dish Network Big 10 Notice

The following was sent to Dish Network retailers.

Dear DISH Network Retailer,
We want to make sure to get the word out about the major Big Ten football games available to qualifying subscribers on DISH Network channels this college football season. The action starts today with the University of Alabama - Birmingham vs. Michigan State game on ESPN2 and ESPN2HD.
Big Ten Football is bigger than ever:


· ABC/ESPN signed a ten year contract with the Big Ten guaranteeing over 40 Big Ten conference games each year.
· SIX Big Ten marquee games will be broadcast on ABC or ESPN this year.
· ABC/ESPN will get first pick of Big Ten games each week, which means the best games will be on an ABC or ESPN.
DISH Network will be using various media, including print and radio, during the first part of the season in targeted markets to advertise a "DISH Network Game of the Week" so that qualifying subscribers will know when to tune in (see table below). Other Big Ten campaign advertising materials will include the statement, "DISH Network has your college football games from Big Ten, ACC, Big East and Pac-10 presented on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Classic, ESPNU, and ABC." Ad slicks and radio scripts will be available on DishMarketingSolutions for you to use to promote Big Ten games appearing on DISH Network channels. Encourage your customers to visit www.dishnetwork.com/big10 for regularly updated Big Ten college football broadcast schedules.

* Available in HD (receipt of high definition programming requires a subscription to qualifying programming package and necessary equipment, including an HD receiver and HD television).
There are a few Big Ten non-conference games (e.g., Citadel vs. Wisconsin) that air on the Big Ten Network (BTN). For several months, DISH network has been diligently negotiating with BTN to obtain a carriage agreement consistent with other regional sports networks, but BTN wants unreasonable and inconsistent payments from all of our customers regardless of whether or not they are Big Ten fans. The good news is that DISH Network customers who are Big Ten fans will get most of their games with the current channels available on DISH network – at no additional cost.

Thank You for Supporting DISH Network.

Any E* sub who's holding on, hoping for E* to pick up the BTN, needs to open his eyes and stop living in denial. E* isn't going to carry the BTN. Period. End of sentence. And rightly so, in my opinion.

The BTN in and of itself wouldn't be so bad. A transponder could be found somewhere to support it, and the fees wouldn't be all that bad.

But next year, the SEC Network would start, then the PAC-10 and Big-12 networks, then the ACC and Big East, and finally every conference has it's own network. Eventually, ESPN, NBC, ABC and CBS have to ante up more cash for the worthwhile games. Now the subs are paying a lot more, first to the conference networks, and second to ESPN for their increased costs.

Soon the free networks will stop carrying college football and basketball altogether. The BTN is a test case for the schools. If it succeeds, they will all make a lot of money, not from the networks and advertising like they do now, but from all of us.

I think they were more of a transitional receiver bridging the VIPs to the Hopper. They were a PITA to install and were buggy. Personally, I thought at the time that they were the best receiver out there. The versatility of the VIP's with the new Hopper GUI and, by far, the coolest-looking front plate and lighting.

Well if it is because of reliability that wouldnt shock me.I went through 5 or 6 of them in little over 2 years. I loved the Sling when it worked! Saved lots of money having it in the day. That was probably 15 or 16 years ago?

I don't recall that they came out just before hopper, but rather that they came out even before 722. Or could be thinking of 921.

As to the title pf the post, "rare" does not necessarily mean valuable or desirable.

You are thinking of the 921. The 922 was the first DVR with Sling functionality built in (that was eventually disabled along with the Sling Adapter for the 722s and the 1st Hopper because they relied on now-defunct Adobe Flash technology). With the bugginess described by others and the removal of its marquee feature (Sling) the 922 faded into obscurity once the Hopper 2 with built in Sling was released and they finally made the concept into a fully functional product.

I had one, the front panel lighting was cool, the menus were fresh and a lot more modern looking than the ViPs. However, it was very buggy and the Sling functionality just didn't work well - I think it was due to internet speeds at the time. I think I had to pay $40 for the Sling app on my phone iirc.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

Has anyone noticed an FF stutter with 713? I used to be able to hit FF a few times and skip smoothly. After 713 (maybe 712), when I skip forward, there is a definite stutter for as many times as I have pressed FF.

Can anyone check on this and report back? Recorded programs and then press skip forward a few times to see if it's smooth? Normally, it just jumps to the right place after the skips.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.
