I am sitting down here in northern Broward county Florida watching local OTA coverage of Hurricane Frances. I am about 25 miles from the Palm Beach county antennas and about 12 miles from the Dade(Miami) antenna farms. The strange thing is that I am getting better OTA signals from WPB than Miami and the storm is actually coming ashore in Palm Beach county now. We are getting tropical storm force winds and heavy rain and the only problem I'm, having is intermittent audio breakup. My satellite reception is excellent for both HD and SD. I am not having Any rain fade at all with my 24" antenna,

If there were ever something worthy of a commercial against cable tv's
claims that satellite reception goes out when it rains, this is it!!

MessageWilt,
Speaking of storms and rain fade....What do you think of this....? I posted it on the 4DTV forum but not vOOM bedcause I don't want to start a 'false" rumour.
"I got approval from VOOM a couple of months ago for an upgrade to a 24" dish. because of all the rain fade and outages. That's the good news.
The installer called back then and said he is waiting for the dish to come in. Then I called him back a couple of weeks later and he said he had it and would call me back to let me know when he could install it. I live a bit off the beaten path. Anyway this has gone back and forth for over a month now with no upgrded dish installed. I called yesterday because we were going to set it up for this week and he said he no longer has the dish because VOOM had all inventory shipped back so that they could get a complete and accurate inventory count for their upcoming public offering. When this was done they would ship him back the dish and he would come and install it.
Being a bit of a cynic, I can't help but wonder if this is the straight story."
two questions:
1) True story from installer?
2) will I ever get the larger dish installed?
Iff story is correct it could explain why no one has followed up on the items in my prevous emails to you.
Thanks.

Continuing the Kilauea thread in the Pub here. Perhaps the Iceland one too next time there's remarkable activity.
Currently there is precursory lava flowing into the crater, leading to the next episode that'll probably start within the next day.
You can see the pace of inflation / deflation here. It serves as the primary predictor for when the expect the eruptions, which coincide w/ inflation turning into significant deflation and last for several hours on average with significant fountaining.

Wife and I like the AfarTV feeds, for the discussion along w/ them, though they're otherwise just mirrors of the official USGS feeds.

I have Dish with Hopper3. I choose to get local channels OTA and had a "guide list" established at my previous home. Having moved a few miles away, I wanted to update the list by appending a couple new stations via a rescan. As many would know, some stations come in with the UHF/VHF antenna aimed in one direction, while others come in better with a different direction.
Unfortunately, when a scan is done (bringing in 25-30 stations for that particular antenna aim), the dialog screen does not present the established guide list; it presents an empty field to the right that the scanned stations may be selected one by one and added to the empty guide. But because of antenna aim, some stations originally saved are missing, and would have to be retrieved with a different antenna aim. But as I explain, if a 2nd scan is done with a different antenna aim, the stations saved from the first scan are lost.
It troubles me that Dish didn't develop software that would allow a user to simply append only 1 or 2 channels to the established list.
Any thought on this? Has anyone experienced this or heard of this from others?
