Cutting Edge
TICK-TOCK! As the clock strike Midnight here on the East Coast, SatelliteGuys.US officially turns four years old today!
And while it is our birthday, you our members get the gifts!
So let's take a look at what's new and what has changed as we celebrate our 4th Birthday!
New Features:
The List (http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist) - "The List" is America's most comprehensive satellite list. It even has a full search feature, which lets you find your favorite satellite channel easily! (Excellent for our Free To Air members!)
"This List" was created by the joint talents of Qwert1515 and Tuxcoder! Thanks guys!
User Blogs – (http://www.satelliteguys.us/blog.php) - Yes this popular feature has returned! SatelliteGuys once again gives you your own corner of the web with your own Blog here at SatelliteGuys! This new Blog software is very feature rich and is very easy to use! Feel free to create your own Blog TODAY!
MultiChannel News Headlines– Satellite & Cable Televisions leading publication comes home to SatelliteGuys with the latest in breaking news headlines, with news updates coming in around the clock 24/7!
Member Map - (http://www.satelliteguys.us/vbgooglemapme.php) - It's back the SatelliteGuys Member Map returns! Add yourself to our map TODAY!
New Forum – The Dish Network –VS- DirecTV War Zone! – At last a place for folks to blast or praise their favorite satellite company! The war zone is the place for folks to say "nah, nah" when one provider adds a channel or feature to its service. "Great Taste" or "Less Filling?" You decide in the War Zone!
Forum Changes:
After talking last week with Earl Bonovich of DBSTalk.COM last week, we have decided to make a few changes to our DirecTV forum.
First we will be renaming the "Living Edge" forum to the "Cutting Edge" forum, as "Cutting Edge" is the official name of the public beta testing program from DirecTV.
In addition as of today access to the "Living Edge" forum is available only to registered members. In order to read or post in the "Cutting Edge" forum you will need to be a logged in member.
Speaking of DirecTV, we are working to have a better relationship with DirecTV. Yesterday SatelliteGuys staff met with DirecTV and will also be meeting with them again today. In addition we have a few other meetings setup.
We are working hard to make things better, and we also thank Earl Bonovich for his help and hard work, Earl is a true SatelliteGuy even if he does wear the uniform for the other team. J
Closing Thoughts:
Who would have imagined that 4 years ago today that we would be here today as America's largest and most popular Satellite Information forum!
Besides hitting our fourth birthday the last week has been an amazing week for us, take a look at the milestones we passed over the last week.
Over 1,000,000 (One Million) posts!
Over 100,000 threads!
Over 85,000 Registered Members!
Lately we have been growing at a rate of around 1,000 new members a week, and also we have been serving over 2,000,000 (Two Million) hits a day to users from around the country and around the world!
Our friendly open atmosphere here at SatelliteGuys is unmatched, and this is due to our amazing staff! This group of volunteers' works 24/7 to make sure that the time you spend here at SatelliteGuys.US is friendly and informative. It makes us proud when we know you learned something or saved money because of information or help you received here at SatelliteGuys.US!
Thank you to all our supporters for helping us keep the lights on over the past 4 years! You might see some people listed as "Supporting Founder", these are folks who donated money to us when we first started, without them SatelliteGuys would have never gotten off of the ground!
Running a site like ours takes a lot of blood sweat tears and money. We have the blood sweat and tears portion covered, the money portion is something we always need help with. Unlike other forums our size, we are an independent website, and are not owned by a major company. If you would like to help out you can become a supporting Pub Member, the cost is only $19.99 a year and it not only supports the site, but it gets rid of all the ads (except for the Gold Sponsor ads on top) plus gives you access to all kind of features and also gives you extended access to many features you currently enjoy! For more information on these features, or to become a pub member please visit http://www.satelliteguys.us/payments.php - Thank you for your support!
Speaking of our Gold Sponsors, these are the guys who pick up a good chunk of our bills and allow us to do all the special events we do. Whenever your looking for satellite or home theater equipment, please visit our Gold Sponsors! When you visit them make sure you tell them you're a SatelliteGuys.US member as many of them give discounts or have special deals for our members!
Over the last 4 years, running SatelliteGuys.US has been a labor of love for me, and while I personally have not been perfect, I have given it my all. Thanks for sticking with me over the years in the good times and the bad. I give you my promise that I will continue to do my best that I can for all SatelliteGuys members.
Thank you to the folks from MultiChannel News for recognizing my passion for the industry; I am honored to be writing for them now. While writing a column three times a week is a lot of work, I take great pride knowing that thousands of people (including those who work in the industry) take time from their busy days to read my opinions on the industry.
Thank you to the 85,000+ members out there who have joined us over the last 4 years! The entire reason we run this site is for you, hopefully we have taught you something or saved you money somewhere along the line. You guys are the reason why we run SatelliteGuys and you guys are also the reason we work everyday to make SatelliteGuys better.
Finally I would like to thank one more person, and that is my loving wife Eva. She is the one who lets me spend a lot of my free time working on SatelliteGuys issues, and has been the one to give me the ok when I have had to reach into my own pocket to pay for SatelliteGuys expenses. Without her support from the beginning, SatelliteGuys would not be here today. She also works a lot behind the scenes and has become an active partner in keeping the SatelliteGuys experience alive!
So thank you to ALL for a great first four years, we continue working hard for you as the future unfolds! What's the future hold???
Stay tuned!
Best,
Scott

Thanks.

You need glasses, you have been working on The List too hard.
(Ok I screwed up and fixed it!) Thank you and Tuxcoder for all your work on TheList.
I know you guys have a lot of great ideas which will help us offer our members the best satelite chart for North America!

Is there a chart for each of the Dish Network birds? That would be very useful. I couldn't find one. It would be much nicer than the dishchannelchart, which takes forever to load.

Can't remember where or who I saw predict this.
It wouldn't surprise me to see Elon soon own all of DISH / Echostar in the future.

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....

Continuing the Kilauea thread in the Pub here. Perhaps the Iceland one too next time there's remarkable activity.
Currently there is precursory lava flowing into the crater, leading to the next episode that'll probably start within the next day.
You can see the pace of inflation / deflation here. It serves as the primary predictor for when the expect the eruptions, which coincide w/ inflation turning into significant deflation and last for several hours on average with significant fountaining.

Wife and I like the AfarTV feeds, for the discussion along w/ them, though they're otherwise just mirrors of the official USGS feeds.

Not sure saving $24/year is worth it unless you're a hardcore Philo user. I'll stick with monthly.
