I was a long time supporter of DBStalk. I was never really outed till the buy out happened and that was my first ban because it of the way the sell happened. Then a couple of mods email me and ask me to come back like 4 months later... About 8 months later I have my first run in with Captain 2 cents who calls external hd and laptop harddrive mods to the 7200 dish net receiver hacks and I got in a argument over that and wham ban stick. Then I just read on and off the site and in the last 5 or so months I come back to actively posting. Just to get in a argument with captain 2 cents over my own post that I hit the report to mods button on. Yes I reported my self stating that a thread had gone to far. He became the ahole we all know and hate and basically gave me the ban stick for having multiple accounts and only reason I have mutliple accounts was my orginal was tied to an email that is no longer valid and I dont remember the password too.
That was the last straw as much as I liked dbstalk it simply wont survive as long as capt 2cents gets to act like the uncontrolled power hungry nut that he is .
So hopefully I can find a home here where people are here to help and not criticize.

I was just thinking that the other place is like the Inquisition.... 
Welcome, You know if they unbanned everyone that he has powertriped over, half of this site would be unbanned from there . It's ok with me that he powertrips anyhow because I know were the better site. Over 100,000 people can't be wrong!

Just logged in with my user and im still banned... I like the reasoning.. This was JL's doing. The last time I talked to chris about this he said that they talked about my case in the moderators forum and that they wouldnt lift my ban.
I replyed back with: Can you please explain the basis of your decision. As I did not present a case.
I never got a reply back. I wonder If i emailed david bott and see how much he would sell dbstalk for. I would buy it, then fire everyone. Then close the place down and burn the servers. The money spent to do it would be well worth it.

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....

Lately my eight year old Dell laptop has been shutting off even when I have a full battery. I have had to keep it plugged up all the time to keep this from happening. Any idea what is causing this? I replaced the battery about three years ago.

I was reading this article
thehill.com
That said this-
Last summer, for the first time, streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime claimed the largest share of the television viewing audience, surpassing both cable and broadcast TV. Streaming captured 34.8 percent of July viewers, according to Nielsen data, compared to 34.4 percent for cable and 21.6 percent for broadcast.
And then, sometime in the second half of 2022, cord-cutters became the majority. The share of cable and satellite television subscribers dipped to 48 percent, according to a report from Samba TV, a television technology company.
Now I do not consider those with YTTV and the likes, Cord Cutters, but they still do not have Traditional Cable/Satellite delivered Live TV, so I decided to do the math.
There are, now, 129 Million Households in the United States.
In 2015, there were 100 Million Cable/Sat Subscribers , no streaming Live TV Service.
Today, there are 66 Million Live TV subscribers, including Cable, Satellite and Streaming.
Roughly, Streaming Live TV has 14 Million subs including all of them.
So that means, Cable/Satellite now has, roughly, 51 Million Households
So in just 8 years, lost 49% of their subscribers and by the end of this year, expected sub count to be, roughly, 45 million households.
That means a total loss of 55% since 2015 at the end of 2023.
But out of 129 Million households, 45 million will mean only 35% will get Cable/Satellite Delivered Live TV by the end of 2023.
Imagine what 2024 will be like.
Cable TV ‘cord-cutters’ became the majority in 2022
The steady decline of cable and broadcast television, and the rise of streaming services, reached a sort of inflection point over the past year. Last summer, for the first time, streaming ser…

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.
