I wonder what "tv innovation" the channel will bring. Fox News brought us all the scroll at the bottom 24/7, Fox Sports with the score displayed all the time. I wonder if they have some new in-store for the Business Channel. You just know they'll have some kind of gimmick.

Not to split hairs, but didn't CNN introduce the crawl? I seem to remember the crawl as far back as Gulf War I, and I don't recall Fox News being on the air back then...but I could be wrong. I try to avoid FNC whenever possible. I hate being told I am wrong in my perception of world/politcal events :p

FBC is going to have a hard time catching CNBC in the ratings, at least for the time being, since they will initially have only about half as many affiliates as CNBC has. And on many of the cable systems that will carry them, they will be on the digital tier whereas CNBC is on the basic tier, which of course usually has a lot more subscribers on most cable systems.

We will be able to get it from the get go on D*, but at their website I saw no mention of Dish Network, so I'm not sure if they will be available there or not.

The problem I have with Covuto is that unless you make over $100k a year, he wants nothing to do with you. Definitely NOT the everyman!

You know him personally, I presume? A Nurse in NY can make $100K a year.

Or are you talking about the people he interviews? Do you expect him to interview Joe of Joe's Plumbing when he could be interviewing Warren Buffett? No offense to Joe (I'm a small business owner too), but I don't need his analysis on macro-economic issues.

Neil seems to be a great guy (his book was amazing) who has gone through terrible personal struggles* and looks destined to come out on top of the financial news world.


* "Cavuto has suffered health problems, saying, "I don't hide that I have had a tough life in many respects. I fought back a near-life-ending cancer, only to end up with multiple sclerosis years later. Doctors have since told me that the odds of contracting both diseases in the same life are something like two million to one! Yet here I am, marching on, continuing to do my job when doctors who've examined my scans and MRIs tell me I shouldn't be walking or talking."

I guess since you are so close to him you must know then eh? All I'm saying is that from what I have seen and heard from him over the years he is pro-rich. Any attempt to harm the position of well-off people is met with utter disdain and downright anger on his part.

He has overcome sickness, my hats off to him as I wish him no ill will. But, I will not tune in to a show hosted by him, I am not rich and as such are worthless in his eyes. That's the impression he gives me, and others, believe me I asked around.

Care to bet on that? It won't take them much time. Just look what FOX News Channel did to MSNBC. The latter is virtually nonexistent now, having been blown out of the water by the former.

Is here something wrong with being "pro-rich" as you call it? I myself am personally struggling to survive, but I'm all for people being able to earn (and keep) as much as they can. You strike me as being the type who believes wealth is a zero sum game; that is, when someone gets rich, that must mean someone else gets poor. It doesn't work that way, nor should it. Instead of trying to bring down those who are rich, why don't we try and bring up those who are poor?

I am a progressive/liberal who makes Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid look like Republicans. I am pro-American and pro-choice, meaning the more choices people have, the better off we are. To me, FBC is yet another choice. I look forward to it, especially it being in HDTV. People should encourage competition, not herald media outlets biting the dust.

And, while I'd like to say something political, this isn't the place. I have plenty of choices where I can go. I love this site for all the people on it who have given me plenty of information over the years. I'm a huge lurker. But just one thing, for the person cheering Ann's book as a best seller. You do know why that is? And, Liberals do the same thing so this is apolitical. Conservative groups buy it buy the book in bulk to prop up sales figures and then resell for a buck or even a penny. Don't believe me? Just go to Amazon, Ebay or conservative book club dot com. And, if I were in her position, I'd be just as happy about this practice as she is.:)

That may well be, but he must be useful to quite a few people whether he is useful to you or not since he regularly wins his time slot, with the other cable news networks far behind.

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....

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 Discussion

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
clear.gif

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
clear.gif

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.

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.
