Newman joins Stewart/Haas Racing

I guess the title says it all. If you don't like Stewart, Newman or NASCAR in general, please start a new thread to be a naysayer. This isn't/wasn't the purpose of this thread. Thanks, in advance, for not ruining our moment.:rolleyes:

The smilies indicate a joke, lighten up :) (although I assume your smilies were a joke to) Forgive me for adding a ' that truly makes me illiterate.

PS: I am a genius compared to most nascar fans :)

PSS: Why would it be Circles.. Im watching cars drive in a circle. Its only driving in 1 circle several times. Not multiple circles :)

Had I said "Watching the cars drive in a circle" or "Watching the car drive circles around the track" they would be different.

Pot meet Kettle :)

Dude, I'm not mad about it..Circle is singular. Circles is plural. They don't drive 1 circle. That would be a 1 lap race..Anyway, 99% of the tracks aren't TRUE "circles". You're sentence read:"Watching car's go in circle is as fun as watching paint dry." Aside from the fact you made cars plural AND forgot the "a" (which I think MOST Nascar fans wouldn't do), I guess it depends on the structure or wording of the sentence, like you illustrated. I guess my ultimate point was in my first thread, if you even read it. I KNEW someone would be a naysayer. Why do people who don't like a certain "sport", (even I don't think it's a sport; it's an activity. When I drive to the store, that isn't a sport. Whether I drive 30mph or 200mph makes no difference) HAVE to say they don't like it. Why even respond at all? Why not just look at the thread and say, "Nascar sucks" to yourself and move on. I think baseball and football are lazy/boring/slow sports, but I don't go into every thread about football and baseball and give my opinion unless it's asked for. Why waste my time? If I see those topics, I skip them.
PS- I'm not your average Nascar fan.;) And speaking of "police"; I think this is ok to be in the chit-chat area. I'm chit-chatting about Nascar news. Kettle meet pot..:)

Absolutely! Just understand, I'm not gonna sit around and get bashed and not retaliate! Just like 7up; never have, never will..I had my IP banned from AVS Forums. This one guy kept on and on and on and on. He just couldn't quit bashing me on EVERY thread I either posted or replied to. I finally had enough and the filter over my mouth was removed, so here I am.

I read Matt Borland (who is now Competition Director for Haas) will likely be the Crew Chief for Ryan in the #4 car and Darian Grubb (who took over for Chad Knaus while suspended and won with Jimmie Johnson during that time, and is now Crew Chief for Casey Mears) might be Crew Chief for Tony in the #14 car, IF he can leave Hendrick, that is. I'm stoked, either way. Ryan not being in the top 35 in points shouldn't be an issue with his past qualifying efforts being taken into consideration. Plus, running Hendrick engines won't hurt. One thing's for sure, it won't be the same Haas we're used to seeing finish 30th or worse.:up Not all drivers are created equal.

I agree baseball is boring to. My post about Nascar not being a sport was a meant to be just a lil joke, the real point was the final sentence stating this should be in the sports area. As this is a chit-chat about a sport, (but its Ironic because its not a "sport") now do you get the joke :) ?

PS: Most nascar fans would not make that mistake you're correct. Most can barely speak proper english let alone write it :)

"Ya'll gonna be havin one them there race's today? Yee Haww" :D

PSS: Looks like the Grammar police and topic police got us today :)

Hopper 3 with Hopper plus internet connection problems

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

Monday 11/2 is a full slate for NBA League Pass as all 30 teams are playing and 14 out of 15 total games are on NBALP. Only one national TV game on Peacock/NBCSN (Thunder @ Cavs).

DirecTV is even having to use several MLB EI channels (from 745-748) and a NHL CI (770) channel to fit all of them in the guide close together. 5 games at 7:30 ET, 3 games at 8 ET, 2 games at 8:30 ET, 1 game at 9 ET, 3 games at 10 ET. Luckily NHL CI is light on Monday (3 games on CI).

DirecTV is providing both broadcast feeds for all League Pass games except Hornets, Magic, Bucks & Raptors that night. These are all teams that have local broadcasts via a OTA channel which is on spotbeams and have streaming deals (DTC) that are not exclusive DAZN teams which DirecTV just signed a deal with (à la Spurs, Grizzlies, Cavs, Pacers & T'Wolves). Its also very common that we don't get Raptors broadcast very often from TSN or Sportsnet Ontario on League Pass.

Only the Knicks, Nets, Wizards, Bulls, Celtics, Rockets, Lakers, Warriors, Avalanche, Sharks and Bruins feeds will be using remaps of 24/7 RSNs that night. The rest will be relying on the part time feeds, including the Nuggets, Blackhawks and Kings who will be on their alt/overflow channels, and MSG Western NY will be live on channel 635-1 to carry Buffalo area ads during the Knicks game.

The NHL Network alternate will be live on channel 215-1 with Red Wings @ Panthers for those blacked out of Golden Knights @ Bruins on the main feed.

The Thunder @ Cavaliers game will be on one of Peacock Game Pass channels that night for commercial customers, they'll also have the back to back U-Conn Women's and Men's Basketball. One of the part time feeds will also be in use for WWE Raw via Joe Hand promotions.
