Is it just me or is this the most underwhelming NFL Sunday of the season (at least so far?) First off there are a number of games not on in HD, and some of those games are just inexcusable. I mean.... Denver at Indianapolis: I find NO reason as to why this game is not in HD. This is the AFC game of the week (at 4 anyways) and we're stuck with SD. Thank god the Niners/Seahawks game is in HD, because if it wasn't I honestly would have called D* and demanded a credit for the 1 week of it not being in HD for both my HD 9.99 and the Superfan. Also it doesn't help that for the most part, the 1pm games aren't that great. Anyone else feel kinda cheated (even though no one is at fault) this Sunday, the 30th of September?

Packers game was on CBS last week and they were at home.

Seems we have a well established pattern that it IS the road team determination these days:

Pittsburgh (AFC) @ Arizona (NFC) was on CBS

San Diego (AFC) @ Green Bay (NFC) was on CBS

I was kinda wondering why the Browns don't have many (or any) games in HD so far - not a Browns fan but was curious.

Also Houston/Atlanta was non HD I believe. any idea why/how they choose the non-HD games? Is it a stadium issue? Or is it a bandwidth issue with D*. Just curious

First year with D* - Sunday Ticket has been absolutely terrific so far - very impressed.

non-hd games r determined by the networks using criteria such as: records of teams playing / glamour teams / market size / pct% of country getting game....hou/atl ranks low on all those scales so = non-hd game.

Well the nice empty blue seats at BOA Stadium looked ok in hd and i guess the Bucs looked fine too but my Panthers.................

I think the Browns are in the top 5 market size. Remember people went all the way to Congress back in 1995 to get the Browns back. So you know they have a very big fan base. That didnt happen for LA. Still no team.
I think the Browns be getting the short end of the stick all the time. It's sad.

Worst Sunday ever? What about 10 years ago when there were no games in HD? More importantly, how about the Sunday years ago when Chuck Thompson of the Lions dropped dead of a heart attack on the field? I would say that was probably the worst Sunday ever for the NFL. It's taking time and all of the games will be in HD some day.

I'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

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.

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....

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

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.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

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.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
