CCA-TBN Partnership Gives Second Chance to Inmates
Belief in the Power of Rehabilitative TV Programming: Zero Cost to Taxpayers
LOS ANGELES, April 21, 2008 – In the spirit of giving and genuine forgiveness, Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) and Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) have joined forces in order to extend prisoners across the United States a real Second Chance at life.
A new initiative of TBN's worldwide family of networks, Second Chance is a program that allows wardens and chaplains of eligible prisons, jails, and re-entry centers to choose up to four of TBN's unique faith-based networks for inmates to view at their own discretion. Second Chance is a voluntary program, completely free of charge to the correctional institutions, and receives no funding from government taxpayer dollars.
CCA, the nation's largest corrections management company to federal, state and local government, recently signed an agreement to bring Second Chance into its nationwide corrections systems, which today includes 65 correctional centers. Together with TBN's commitment to providing creative, faith-based programming with the power to change lives, the two organizations hope to reach the more than 75,000 offenders housed in CCA's correctional centers in 19 states and the District of Columbia.
"Our organization – whose mission is firmly rooted in a philosophy that bears out the value of rehabilitation – is an avid supporter of programming for its inmates," says Dennis Bradby, Vice President of Inmate Programs at CCA. "We are dedicated to playing a strong leadership role in effecting behavioral changes in America by influencing how offenders think and how they channel their thoughts in order to achieve appropriate solutions."
Founded in 1983, CCA is the fifth largest corrections system in the nation. Responsible for founding the private corrections industry, the organization owns and operates prisons, jails, and detention facilities for male, female and juvenile populations, and the company serves all three federal corrections agencies, nearly half of America's states, and numerous local municipalities.
CCA boasts a strong commitment to improving lives and, as such, offers a variety of rehabilitation and educational programs, including basic education, life skills, employment training, substance abuse treatment, and work and recreational programs.
"We are honored to have this opportunity to offer the Second Chance program to viewers who can truly benefit," says Amy Fihn, TBN's Second Chance Director. "The program is a unique tool for inmates housed in CCA facilities, one that can help bring them to a healthier level emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Second Chance prepares inmates for success when they eventually re-enter society."
TBN's Second Chance – developed as a companion to already-established rehabilitation programs, and to meet the growing needs for cross-generational, cross-cultural, and multi-denominational television programming opportunities for inmates of all ages –is completely free.Once installed, only inmates who specifically choose to watch Second Chance programs will be able to voluntarily view the networks.
"Second Chance is thoughtful, reassuring, faith-based programming that is truly rehabilitative, helps to rebuild inmates' lives, and reduce recidivism," adds Fihn.
Using KU band satellite technology, TBN will make four of its unique faith-based networks available for CCA's diverse inmate populations to view twenty-four hours a day, including JCTV, for juvenile offenders; The Church Channel, which features top speakers from various denominations; TBN Enlace USA, offering faith-based programs entirely in Spanish; and TBN, the nation's most requested faith-based channel. TBN will also cover the cost of all necessary satellite reception equipment and installation, customized for each facility with technical assistance provided by Glorystar Satellite Systems.

On Tuesday, I recorded the first episodes of the new season's NCIS shows on CBS (Dish provided, not OTA). The new New York series and Origins will both do Auto Skip, but the original, now season 24 does not. What's stranger, when I do a search for NCIS, Origins and New York show the current recording and the next episode it will record, but the original show only shows the current recording and some other channel showing the very first episode of season one. It makes no sense. When I set up the timers, I was able to use search for Origins and New York, but for the original, I had to scroll ahead in the guide until last Tuesday when the show was airing. Then set the timer from there. You can see its timer type is DVR where the other two are Seek. What am I missing?
Thanks!
Thanks!

To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.
As I said above, and, FWIW, I run Win11 Pro and Arch on separate 250 GB NVME drives, using F8 to select which I boot to, with a 1TB SSD for storage, accessible to both OSs and a third formatted Nvme I want to use to learn Kali. It was much faster to setup Arch than it was to strip down Windows. Windows still takes much longer to boot.

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....

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.

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.
I went into the Tools menu and requested a Guide Update. I'll try looking at it after the update completes.
edit — I now have the 148-01 4KFox events for Saturday, but not anything for 148-02 or 148-03 which don't even show as available channels. I do have 148-04 4KUSA.
As I recall you have the Flex package. Do you sub to multisport? -02 is FS1 and -03 is ESPN. -01 is Fox so you would get that if you sub to locals.Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.
