HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
I am happy to announce that the new server has arrived here in Connecticut and we are currently loading FreeBSD 7.0 on it.
I am impressed with the quality of build that the folks from ServersDirect.COM did the the server, in fact inside its one of the cleanest looking setup I have ever seen. Everything is wiretied and put in places to insure maximum airflow.
Here are the specs of the new server:
SuperMicro SC815TQ-560UB 1U Black Chassis with 560w power Supply
Supermicro X7DGU Server Motherboard
2x Intel Quad Core Xeon E5345 2.33Ghz 1333MHz Prcessors
Supermicro PCI-E Riser Card (RSC-R1UU-E16)
8GB 4PC's Kingston 2GB DDR2 667 MHZ FB-DIMM
3Ware 9650SE-4LPML RAID Controller Card
3Ware Raid Battery Backup Unit (BBU-Module-003)
Slim Black DVD-ROM drive
Intel 82563EB Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller
ATI ES1000 Video Controller Card with 16MB of video memory
Rail Mounting Kit
The server is being loaded and configured here in Connecticut, after it is done we will ship it to our ISP in Dallas, who will then hook it up and cross connect it to our existing server.
This is a very exciting time for us. This new server would not be possible without our Pub Members who help us keep the lights on!

Ok the new server has been shipped.
Took me a long time to pack it up, seems like its part of the family already.
We spent most of the week loading it, securing it, patching it and tweeking it. This is a really powerfull server.
We are running this one much like our existing server with a full RAID 10 setup. This server however has a little more space with 596Gigabytes usable drive space.
With our current database being less then 2 gig in size, its going to take us a long time to fill it up.
After UPS picks it up and gets it into the system I will be able to tell when it is expected to arrive in Dallas and then from there it could take 24 / 48 hours for them to get it hooked up.
After its hooked up it will probably sit a few days and then we will close the site for a few hours eaither on a weeknight or weekend to copy the databases to the new server and cut over to the new server.
I was amazed how cheap it was to ship this server, until I added in the insurance for it, the insurance cost over what it cost to ship the server without insurance.
So now we wait and let UPS work its magic of getting this big box from my office in Hartford, Connecticut to our ISP in downtown Dallas.

The UPS tracking site says it will arrive on Thursday in Dallas.

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....

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.

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.
I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.
Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

For the naysayers who did not think this service would make it, just added another 4.9M subscribers and that was after the removal of 1.2M Russia subscribers.
This is even better, Paramount+ revenue grew 120% and Subscription revenue grew 74% year-over-year ( 2nd quarter 2021/ 2nd quarter 2022) to $830M, principally reflecting paid subscriber growth on Paramount+.
Now compare that to Peacock with only 13 million paid, 13 million free.

So, this means that those of us with Commercial Free subs, won't be Commercial Free, unless we wait till after the show is over ?
Which would make same day, not that big of a deal.
Paramount+ has always had the CBS shows on the CBS local channel and yes with commercials. What they are doing now is releasing the OnDemand versions of the show which I believe they don't release until after the shows air on the west coast. And they will be commercial free if you subscribe to the ad free version of Paramount+.So, this means that those of us with Commercial Free subs, won't be Commercial Free, unless we wait till after the show is over ?

I wasn't up at 3:00 am to check but they are there at 8:00 am today.
The new curated multiview is now live.
While on many of the sports channels and non sports channels there is a multi view option button. It will pull up a side bar with many different multi view options.

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…
