NBC's regular package on 593 and 594 apparently is only for people in
markets with NBC owned and operated stations. I'm not in one of
those. Everyone else where I live can watch the regular coverage on
the local station's analog signal. I can't. Why? Because the VOOM
receiver doesn't display analog. So I'm out of luck. I talked to a
clueless CSR, an experience I don't recommend. She told me that I
could watch the regular coverage on Bravo, USA, and MSNBC. Great, I
love watching archery.

RE: [VOOM] Re: Everyone but VOOMers can see Olympics

I just talked to my Dad. He had the same problem as you. He called Voom and
the CSR turned on 593 for him.

I would suggest calling a CSR and getting them to turn on 593.

I can get the tape-delay HD version just fine, too. What I can't
get, as I wrote in my first message, is the regular, SD, same-day
coverage. If you're able to get that, you must be in an O&O market.

<vurbano.1aym5k @n="">
I get both because the local affiliate broadcasts both the HD feed and the SD feed. Your affiliate is dropping the ball by not broadcasting the SD version, only an analog one. But, In doing so, the affiliate is giving you a higher bitrate on the HD feed. You are blaming Voom for that and making a thread entitled "Everyone but VOOMers can see Olympics"?, .......... thats absurd. Get your self an analog antenna and tuner.

[VOOM] Re: Everyone but VOOMers can see Olympics

I would concur. While most accounts automatically had the Olympics
added, a few didn't. We've been adding them by hand when it is
indicated. So far this has been working pretty well.

So if you are supposed to be receiving the feed and aren't or think
you should and aren't sure, call 800-GET-VOOM see if we can correct
the situation.

I doubt that an affiliate is going to let someone get a sat sd feed of an out of market Olympic feed if that affiliate is broadcasting the signal in its analog form. There is no law requiring SD yet. And the affiliate would theoretically lose revenue due to users not watching their in market commercials.

If that were the case then I should be entitled to another feed of the WB network because the local here isnt in HD. But I dont see that happening.... ever. The FCC is far from adressing that yet.

Can I e-mail you or something with my account information and have you turn on 593. I've called Voom twice, I live in the Miami O&O market, I am supposed to get 593, missed out on this for the weekend when I REALLY wanted to see something in particular, however I've called 2 Voom CSRs that have told me:

"We don't know how to turn on this channel for you, my supervisor told me what you see is what you get"

All the Olympics technical calls must be getting forwarded to the San Diego Zoo.

Washington Post

SpaceX has held talks with Boost's parent company EchoStar in recent months about launching its own signature wireless service through a deal with the company, according to two people familiar with the negotiations.
Musk, the SpaceX CEO, has discussed the deal personally, meeting with EchoStar chairman Charlie Ergen last month, according to the people. The potential deal may result in SpaceX acquiring Boost Mobile or SpaceX gaining access to its network, which it leases from AT&T and T-Mobile US, the people said.
Access to those lease agreements would be a coup for SpaceX. The back door would allow Musk to make a play for a U.S. wireless market that equity research firm MoffettNathanson estimates is worth $235 billion. But the proposed service may need consent from those carriers for the service to actually launch, the people said.

If Musk really wants to buy Boost, he might get a great price once Dish Wireless is out of Chapter 11.

Boost just lost 182,000 subs in the 3rd quarter-

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 have Dish with Hopper3. I choose to get local channels OTA and had a "guide list" established at my previous home. Having moved a few miles away, I wanted to update the list by appending a couple new stations via a rescan. As many would know, some stations come in with the UHF/VHF antenna aimed in one direction, while others come in better with a different direction.

Unfortunately, when a scan is done (bringing in 25-30 stations for that particular antenna aim), the dialog screen does not present the established guide list; it presents an empty field to the right that the scanned stations may be selected one by one and added to the empty guide. But because of antenna aim, some stations originally saved are missing, and would have to be retrieved with a different antenna aim. But as I explain, if a 2nd​ scan is done with a different antenna aim, the stations saved from the first scan are lost.

It troubles me that Dish didn't develop software that would allow a user to simply append only 1 or 2 channels to the established list. :mad:

Any thought on this? Has anyone experienced this or heard of this from others?

I could very well be wrong....it has been a LOT of years but back when I had a 722K it seemed like when you went back to the scan screen that you could just scan again and it would ADD those channels to the previous list or you could delete the previous results and only add the channels from the new scan.

I am not sure about that but I do know that you could manually add additional channels just by entering the actual RF channel number and the older receivers would add the virtual channels to your list

Like I said.....that has been many years ago. Swapped my 722K for a Hopper in 2012.

It does seem like I remember having to delete the existing channels when we did a rescan. Back then our local stations KEPT monkeying around with things and it was non-stop complaints from customers about their channels not coming in. Got so bad that I stopped selling OR installing OTAs....something I had been doing since 1984 so you know it HAD to be pretty bad.

The NFL, for some time, has protected the marquee quarterbacks. Brady, Mahomes, Allen, Burrow - they all get the calls.
The lower tier QBs don't seem to get the same benefit. For instance, some of the hits that Darnold took from Chicago on Monday night would have been a flag frenzy if any of the marquee QBs were hit like that. And I am not in any way a fan of anything Seahawks related. I am a fan of balanced officiating - and that hasn't been the case for a while.

My team is not immune to this - Fred Warner laid some vicious hits in the Commanders game that I thought should have been flagged - one was, but they picked it up.

Not a good look on NFL officials.
