So I got DTV back in November. Dish was out of alignment in December; guy come over and re-aligned. got out of alignment again! I did the CE download last night and now because it won't see a bunch of transponder as well as sat 99c it wont' download the guid (at least that's what I think). Tried download the old software version but still won't do it. So, I am wondering if it is "normal" for the dish to get out of alignment this often (twice in three months). We did have some really heavy windy storms last month but that didn't happen during the storm. Seems that slowly it loses the alignment, then I start noticing pixelation in some channels. Did I get a crappy install? Second question: is there a way to bipass the guide download and watch something since I"m getting most transponders from 101, 103, 110 and 119?? My other receiver, a D10 is working fine.

I don't have the exact numbers with me. At work now. Roughly, lots of them were in the 50s or 70s. for 101, I remember that 15, 17 and 18 (?) were all 0. But then if I check them individually it says like 50. I may not be able to get those numbers cause by the time I get home the installer will be there already. I'll try it . Just pisses me off that this is now the second time it is happening. Now, does the failure of the LNB test mean anything?
Oh yeah, and thanks to everybody for helping out and answering my questions! You guys are great!

Bad install
Another installer came over. He said the guy who did the install before did a bad job. The arms had not been tighten and also screws on the dish were loose!
He also said that the previous installer was now gone. He wasn't very happy about "cleaning up somebody else's mess". He said that now I should not have that problem anymore. We'll see. Thanks everybody for the help and suggestions!

Don't know if any of you have watched this series yet, it would be interesting to see if you feel this review was accurate. It was very humorous to listen to however.

Halfway into the "written" review, I know more about how the writer "thinks" than I do about what they are writing about. I understand their politics, their self-overestimated understanding of film, their inability to be funny.
Takes about 22 paragraphs to get to one that starts "Anyway, the story kicks off...". Talk about Slop!
If the review is like the article, oi! Eighteen paragraphs into the review and... all they've done is not really talk at all about the actual thing they are reviewing.

Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office.

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home though
You say that like it's a Bad thing or something ...

HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
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....
