OK I'm using Brighthouse Cable right now for my TV, Internet (Road Runner) and Digital Phone.
I'm waiting for a 3 1/2" pole to come to me from the well drilling company for my 10' Unimesh Dish, then I can put that in.
I've have read some threads here that some of you guys here have both the big dish and small dish too, reason being?
What kind of Speed can I exspect from Satellite Internet? As fast as Road Runner I hope!
Can you have a digital phone using your satellite dish? Big or Small?
What are the differences between Dish Network, DirecTV and the VOOM HD Networks?
I've heard that some promotions are changing Mar 1 for some of the small dish companys. Is this true?
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks Truckracer,
I can hardly wait till I get a satellite dish up. It feels like this is all I have been thinking about! I'm hooked!! I have one dish sitting in my garage that requires a 3" pole. It's on order. I have two holes dug in my backyard waiting for me to put the poles in. I do have one pole in the backyard that is a 4" that I have to drill some more holes in so I can put rebarb in it. I was just offered a 12' satellite dish, unknown maker. See thread: Adventures in dish hunting and what we find. Last page to see images of the satellite dish.
I'm all set to join the band wagon for Big Dishes yesterday!
At the same time I know I can get the Big Networks like ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox but what about local channels? 
I think I'm learning more about all of this now. At least more then I did when I first joined. It's does seem like it is taking for ever to get at least one dish up!
Oh yeah, the guy I'm getting the 12' dish from is telling me to completly dis-mantle it and then take it to my house and put it back together again, and to use a string to test it. I was thinking of keeping it intach, Yea or Nea?? Hope you get a chance to see the photo's of it. Maybe you recognize the maker of the 12'??
Thanks,
Tom

There are 2 places on C-Band (different satellites) that has the networks from a local, and it's probably not yours.At the same time I know I can get the Big Networks like ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox but what about local channels?

"What sort of TV programming do you watch?
I watch my fair share of Movies that I get from Brighthouse. HBO and Cinimax. Mostly Network programming that comes with ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, TNT, True TV, Military Channel, History Channel, Learning Channel, Discovery Channel, a few more."
If you like Movies there is nothing better than the BUD. They are all the first generation masters, which means theres no better picture quality then them anywhere. There are close to 90 premium movie channels. All the other channels you mentioned above are on the big dish. If you going to do it right you need a 4DTV and a FTA receiver. I have both with a 12 foot dish, and a 90cm and 85cm dish. I use a couple antenna's for my local OTA channels.

Bud and OTA Antennas
Thank you for your reply and your answer. I thought that I would need to get a antenna to get to the Tampa Bay stations which are about a hundred miles from me. I might need another antenna for me to reach the Orlando stations which is about 130 miles from me. Then I can watch my OTA channels. I guess I should check out a Radio Shack dealer for them?
On the other hand as far as the Movie channels I have a 10' Unimesh and suppose to get a 12' dish. The 12' maker is unknown at this time. The 90cm and 85cm dish that you mention I take it are small dishes? Are those for your KU Band and your 12' dish for C-Band?
I'm not sure as to the condition of these dishes I have till I get them planted in the ground. Then I can check out the feedhorns and the actualtors.
Thanks,
Tom

But.....if you like Tulsa King....looks like you would probably like this as well. I don't mind spin-offs as long as they don't involve a sassy niece who moves from the big cityAnother Tulsa King spin off.
I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

Tony as the director.
Would you rather have LaRoche ???Tony as the director.
No. Bring in someone new.
Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.
I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...No. Bring in someone new.
Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)
Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.
Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.
It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.

If you're going try to read / listen to the book (can't recommend the audio book enough) before this comes out, I'd avoid trailers.
Trailer below, spoiling it to make sure you read the above bold message first. The book / audio book are fantastic. Go into this blind if you can IMO!
Kind of disappointed at how much they show. A lot still to see, but man, some good reveals in the book that are just served up here.

Browns lose a close one with... The Jets. That is a classic Browns loss (granted, any loss is a classic one it seems). 49'ers, Vikings, and Chiefs remain undefeated. The AFC north have a three way tie at 3-2 for second place.
A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

I had quit watching this show years ago because I ended up more annoyed than entertained. Well......I'm STILL more annoyed than entertained. I DO find it interesting to see how things work behind the scenes at many businesses. What annoys me is how utterly out of touch CEOs are with the companies they run. At the end of almost every episode the head of the company is amazed at how hard the employees have to work and many times have to work around impossible guidelines set forth from headquarters.
I found this one interesting because the new CEO had big plans for this company, Muscle Maker Grill, and it looked like the stores were all pretty busy. Recent history hasn't been good to this company however. I bet the covid lockdowns were the real killer.

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....
