Remember me? Still fighting to get 5 LNB over our old 1 sat system. Anyway...same old tech comes out today (stupid kid) says the same thing as always, "You can't see the 119 and the 110 is cutting it close. Oh and stop using the sun as a predictor!"
First...its Oct I can use the sun at times so sayth another website!

After a bit he tells me the "any-day-now" D* is dropping the 110 and 119 because they are always issues and to call back after that happens. I looked around and couldn't find anything that said anything remotely about that...anyone know about this? Or was the kid speaking out of turn again (same guy who said the wire can only be run 75' for HD).

Also...is there a way to request NOT to have a specific tech out? And there has got to be a better way to do this than ordering new service onces a week just to get a guy to come out and shoot down another location (I know the tech is supposed to survery all sites before shooting it down...tell that to this guy).

Pissed in 17003... (I NEED DVR DARN IT!)

I don't know who is worse for Directv...the CSR's or the installers.

I must be in the Directv DNA.

On our local AVSForum, someone who just had D* installed this past week was talking about how their installer said (with some sincerity and certainty) that we in DMA#100 (Charleston, SC) would be getting our HDLIL on October 17th or 18th. While I would like to have my HDLIL, knowing that this info came from a D* installer (and not in these forums :) ) makes me cringe. I get all my locals via OTA and everything is fine there, so I don't NEED the HDLIL, but I am taking this info with a giant salt lick based solely on past misinformation - intentional or otherwise.

Stand behind the dish.

If you see trees, just wait.............when the leaves fall off check you system.......if things get better cut some trees before spring.

OR

Spend 500 large on a meter and see how you do.

atp,
It IS possible, seeing D* does not have a list that they are required to follow, the nelsion is a guide line apperantly because others have popped up out of order.

Tech support guy told me last night that the next SAT is going up at the end of Oct, but we are all pretty sure that ,THAT is not happening ....

But knowing the track record of installers making claims and CSR's making claims that aren't even in the ballpark, do you think there is any reason to believe that given the pre-launch spot beam issues that D* will try to launch any new HD-LIL's until they are done rolling out the national HD channels?

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....

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.

it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner

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.

Best fan sign I saw during the ND-BYU game: "Bear ate your Lucky Charms!" (Bear being the Cougars' QB). I was going to suggest, "Have you or your team been involved in a Carr crash?"
