What happened to Rob7?

As a Red Wings fan, you'd expect HIM to show up at a time like this.

Hey Paul,

Congrats on your boys winning the Cup:up. I can't wait for next next season to start. My Flyers went from the worst team in the NHL last year to the conference championship round this year. Maybe, just maybe we can give the Wings a good run.;)

Sabres Rule,


I Like your Avatar, I believe that is Dave Andrechuk, YES? I can't believe the Sabres got rid of him when they did. You gotta love a Guy that loves to camp in front of the opposing goalie's net, not to mention he was very hard to move from in front. It was nice to see Dave win a Stanley Cup, albeitly with another team.

Now we are just marking time till the drop of the puck in October, guess I'll have to grin and bear it spending my weekends at the Boat for the SUMMER, ;>)

Jimbo,

I have a fairly unique outlook on Gas for Boating.

Of all the costs associated in boating Gas is but one cost of many, yes its an expensive hobby. Right now, Gas is roughly a buck more per gallon than last year, this makes each fillup cost roughly an extra $150-180 Bucks, My boat has twin 100 Gallon tanks (I don't let the tanks go below 1/4). With Both Tanks full it will take about a month to 5 weeks till I need to fill up, unless we take a trip. I work at home, I don't even put 6000 miles per year on my vehicle. So in a month to 5 weeks the average commuter will put almost as much gas in their car as I do in my Boat and Vehicle.

If you don't have the money for the gas then you really shouldn't have a boat.

I spend vastly more money on my Accelerated Boat Loan, Dock Fees, Maintenance, Registration Fees, Customs Fees etc.., than on the Fuel.

If your interested, My Boat is a Cruisers Yachts 3375, Its LOA (Length OverAll) including Extended swim Platform is 36 Feet, with a 11 foot 9 Inch Beam. She has almost all of the extras, Remote Spotlight, Radar, GPS Chartplotter, Reverse Cycle Air/Heat, Windlass, Vac-u-Flush Head, Dual Refrigerators, etc. The Only item on my Wish List would be a Generator, even so I wouldn't use it much. She's Powered by Twin 7.4 (454) Big Block's mated to V Drive Inboard transmissions With Closed Cooling System. Her Best Cruise speed is about 28-30 MPH burning about 28 Gallons per hour, which means she gets at best 1 MPG. Her name is "TARDIS" if you are a Science Fiction Fan you should know what it means.

Just got back from Sodus Bay on Lake Ontario, what a GREAT DAY.

I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

I think most are using it on a firestick or other device as an extra receiver, rather than their phone. Just a guess based on how I use it. 99% thru my firestick, 1% phone.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.

would probably also work well for NHK on 101W and possibly for PBS on 99W. I used one for a while on 30W. Just keep in mind that because it's undersized for those satellites, it might work fine in clear weather but won't have much margin to account for signal degradation during rain/snow

If you can find one, the Shaw / Star Choice 75e ellipticals are great for use on 97, 99, and 101W. They are really just rebranded ChannelMaster 75 cm reflectors and use linear LNBFs by default out of the box.

Everyone else's mileage may vary.

I have read that some have converted this type dish but after giving it a good look, it's the lnb conversion that is the bottleneck. Does anyone have a picture of their attempt to configure the lnb? I watched a video on youtube from the save it for parts guy and he used duct tape! Guess it worked but I'm thinking something a bit more permanent!
Thanks to all for your interest and replies...

Many of us have used a universal LNBF mount (or get creative with L brackets and plumbers tape - perforated metal strapping). Use a few inches of aluminum tube (or a piece of 1x2" lumber) to extend the support arm (replacing the plastic mount used by DirecTV and Dish) to place the LNBF throat opening at the correct distance from the reflector, the correct height and at the correct angle. Nothing magical... simply place the new linear LNBF in the center at the same distance, height and angle as the current combo.

To add: 101W Ku seems to be (one of if not the) strongest for me, and if I only had Ku I definitely want 101W for the music mux, it's robust FEC and strong signal help a lot. I've thought about using a used Dish/DirectTV dish at my Dads to supplement his OTA (mainly for my benefit when I visit :) )

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....

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.
