New England patriots are going to play 5 times this upcoming year prime time 
(night games)
Looks like our games will be shown on national tv more than anyone else's
Which is great!
Out of 17 games I get to see 7 of them this year without ST+SF.
Decision decision...just going to be hard not following them for the other 10 weeks.
I may not resubscribe to ST. 10 games for 300$+ its very expensive.

I can understand your giddiness, but to say this respect is "long deserved" is a bit exaggerated. Your records the three seasons previous to last year were 4-12, 6-10, and 4-12. Those records are not conducive to getting any national games, which they appropriately did not last year.
And I think 5 is too many for a team that didn't even make the playoffs. But that is good news. It gives my friends in Columbus the ability to see more Bengals games.
All that said, the AFC North is going to take a beating this year. We all have very tough schedules.
The Brown's are one of the most storied franchises in all of Football. The fact that they're turning things around and playing competitive and exciting football, YES they do deserve the attention they will get this year.
Who is Carson Palmer going to throw to this year btw??

I gotta jump on this one here. the browns are only a storied franchise to people inside of cleveland, trust me I know I live there....Clevelanders think that the browns deserve respect and deserve monday night games when in all reality they choke, year after year....Now this year could be different, but I have said that in the past as well..but I figure you will probably split the season series with the ol steel City boys as you do have a decent team, lets hope that none of our star players decide to ride a bike and we should be in a for a decent season

Stu, neighbor, please don't tell me that you're one of those who don't consider stats prior to the Super Bowl Era (1967)?
Let me remind once again the reason why the Cleveland Brown's ARE one of the most storied franchises in case you forgot....
*8 League Championships. (4 AAFC Championships- '46, '47, '48, '49 and 4 NFL Championships- '50, '54, '55, '64).
*The Brown's have the 4th largest number of players enshrined to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
*Some of the best players to lace 'em up were Cleveland Brown's including but not limited to: Jim Brown, Otto Graham, Paul Warfield, Lou Groza, Leroy Kelly and Ozzie Newsome.
*Jim Brown is considered by many to be the best Football player to play the game in it's storied history.
*Otto Graham was the winningest QB in the games history. Graham played 10 years and took the Browns to the Championship game every year of his career and won 7 of them!
*We have arguably the most loyal fans in the sport. The most prominent organized club of fans, the "Cleveland Brown's Backers", is considered the largest sports fan organization in the USA.
^ And that my friend are just a few examples on why your fellow Clevelanders and myself included think we "deserve" respect.
Ahh With Cleveland it will always be stories
when I said AFL, I meant the AAFC...but anywhoo, We will see what happens and if the Browns Deserve respect, I hope you are man enough to admit the browns have choked when they should have had big years.
Ahh With Cleveland it will always be stories
Sure the Brown's have lost out on some great opportunities, I'll admit that. However I see no reason to betray my hometown team and jump on an out of town team bandwagon. When we do win, it'll be all the more satisfying.
yeah, you must work for the media somewhere
if you want to quote everything I wrote it was talking about how I was a fan of the Browns BEFORE they left, since they have come back they are not the same and I never liked them when they came back...I like smash mouth football and found myself liking the steelers when the browns left, and actually decided I like them more when the steelers where 6-10 so I will shut that Front Runner talk down before it starts by the way I showed my brother in law your avatar and he said you post on the CBS sportsline website for the Browns alot, I was trying to show off that pic, I love it! go tribe
yeah, you must work for the media somewhere
Ugh. That's like your wife going away on vacation and falling in love with the next door neighbor! Shame on you!
Also, I've never posted on CBS sportsline before. Musta been someone else. My avatar is an actual photo of former Indian Oscar Gamble. He played for the Tribe from 1973-1975 as a outfielder/DH.
Here's a few more photo's for your pleasure....
I think I found my New favorite player!!!!
just to set record straight, my #1 team cleveland browns pre-move, my #1 favorite active team, the steelers, go figure, I think my Head spins trying to wrap up why I like the steelers now, even I dont know sometimes But I do. Steeler nation!

My OTA is not working anymore. This started after the latest update. I have the OTA dongle with a OTA antenna that I've been using for years. My hopper does not recognize the dongle anymore and when I go to the OTA setting, it has a screen that says to plug a dongle into the USB. I tried unplugging and plugging back, in the same usb port and other ports. The Hopper does not recognize it. Anyone have same issue?

Did you people having this issue contact Brittany yet? Shes trying to keep track of things and it would be good for you to contact her as maybe she can get this somewhere and get fixed.
Now while unofficial, I am hearing this issue wasn't caused by DISH's software team, but was caused by a chipset driver update that seemes to have hosed some older USB devices. If this is indeed the case I can see why DISH didn't know and why they are slow in fixing it as they need the chipset company to fix its drivers and release them to DISH so they can be pushed out to all.
DISH does not hate you guys nor do they want you to buy new USB dongles. I am rather sure they didn't even know this was an issue until they saw it posted.
Again contact Brittany if you are having this issue, so she has your info and hopefully she can do something for you to keep you happy.

Thanks, but until they do, can't Dish just revert to the old driver that worked? Then test the new driver when delivered,d before pushing it again.Did you people having this issue contact Brittany yet?

But then what does an old CIO know! I've only reamed quite a few buttholes from my people that didn't do that!

dish can't revert back to older drivers or updates. although just one reason not to buy the ota dongle!!!Thanks, but until they do, can't Dish just revert to the old driver that worked? Then test the new driver when delivered,d before pushing it again.

I've been using APC UPS units to protect my computer and Home Theater equipment for many years, but now there are a number of companies producing "Glamping" power accessories that can provide hours of 120 VAC power for off-grid use at a camp site or a few hours of power when severe weather knock out the power. I had mentioned elsewhere that I picked up a Jackery HomePower 3000 to use instead of a gasoline generator to provide emergency power for our refrigerator. The 3.0 kWh of Lithium Iron Phosphate battery cells can supply power for over 24 hours and is "light" enough that I can move it into the kitchen to allow it to power the fridge. However, it's not an automatic operation, as I need to move it from its home in the closet to the kitchen, in addition to rolling the refrigerator out from its alcove so I can plug it in.
The Jackery wasn't my first LFP Power Bank; I had purchased an EcoFlow River 2 unit with 512 Wh of capacity. I had purchased this to use on our Home LAN to give it a longer run time than the three hours that I had with the APC UPS I had been using. This isn't an odd use case, EcoFlow advertises this capability on its website and a transfer time of 16 mS. I used this River 2 to supply power to a 16-port Cisco gigabit switch, the AT&T router, Printer Server, MoCA adapter, and surveillance camera NAS. All told, about 35 W of load. With the EcoFlow River 2, it reported approximately 12-13 hours of run time. So far, so good.
After it had been in use for a month or so, I was down in the basement and heard a whirling sound. Turns out the State of Charge was 24% and it appeared the River 2 was off-grid even though it was still plugged in. Well, turns out that the firmware had a big bug in it for people that were using it like I was. I communicated with EcoFlow and eventually they sent a newer firmware that fixed this problem. But before they fixed it, I decided that I had such a good experience with the Jackery, that I bought their Explorer 1000 (1,070 Wh capacity) which should run our home network for over a day. It worked great right out of the box, and even when it was charging, the cooling fan was practically silent.
After the River 2 was patched, I put it to work, replacing the APC UPS powering the bedroom TV with Dish 4K Joey and Apple TV. The LG OLED uses quite a lot more power than I expected, depending on the scene, it can have a 120 Watt power draw. With the River 2, that might limit power-out watching to 4-5 hours. Also, the River 2 still had the issue with its cooling fan, I find it disturbing the quiet bedroom environment.
EcoFlow had one of the Spring sales and have a new EcoFlow Delta 3 1000 Air which was on sale for $299. That's a 960 Wh capacity power bank with a 10 ms power switching, so this seemed like a perfect solution. Well, except for two things: 1) It has one grounded NEMA 5-15 receptacle; 2) even though EcoFlow claims "35 dB @ 1m" quietness, it was even louder that the River 2 was. Not optimal!
So, I ended up swapping the Jackery Explorer 1000 with the EcoFlow Delta 3 1000 Air since the power demands for the Home LAN are less, and the loud fan noise won't bother anyone. The bedroom TV setup says it should be good for approximately 7 hours:
I realize that at some point the amount of money spent on these individual long-term Power Backup solutions will be more expensive than if we just bought a whole-house power solution. Those are coming down in price, but we're still looking at $16,000 at a minimum for a LFP solution, and $10,000 or so for a home LP generator solution. (With the LP generator solution, we would need to also pay the Gas utility to increase the size of our gas line, so that tilts me towards a the battery solution.)
Finally, I tried an Amazon 12 VDC LFP battery that replaces the Lead Acid Gel Cell in a normal UPS with an equivalent set of LFP cells. The price was roughly the same as a 12 VDC battery from Batteries+, and it's been running for about a year now with no difficulty. But these APC UPS units won't run for long, and are really intended to allow the powered equipment to be shut down in an orderly manner.
So, am I weird to use these Camping power banks for Home emergency power solutions? I haven't even touched the idea of Solar panels to supplement the run time in an Outage.

I would not trust a UPS designed for lead acid to properly charge, discharge and maintain a LFP battery.
Sounds like it'd be cheaper to move where the power is more dependable. Like near me. Quite a few houses in this neighborhood go for less than $1M.
Are you weird? If you seriously consider moving for this - YES!

I'm surprised Walmart hasn't banned this guy from all of their stores. He has been on their CASE the past few months.

The situation w/ the Titans and Jordan Elliott is scary.
sports.yahoo.com
Makes me think of the Javon Belcher murder suicide.
Titans' Jordan Elliott was released after reportedly going to retrieve a gun after dispute at practice
Jordan Elliott lasted just five games with the Titans.
Makes me think of the Javon Belcher murder suicide.
Every time my Dish contract comes up I weigh the options of keeping Dish or switch to streaming. Right now I can watch/record the OTA channels vis my HDHomerun. I also can stream CBS and NBC via the Paramount+ and Peacock apps. What I would need to find is how to watch the Food Network, HGTV, Syfy, USA, Hallmark channels, Great American Family, Lifetime channels plus a few more with an app or two. My current Dish bill is $118, so I should be able to get a few apps for a lot less.
Any suggestions? I would want the best picture quality and audio quality I could get.

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.
