My game day favorite? oven roasted italian sausage and peppers!
Take a baking pan and coat with a thin layer of olive oil. Then a layer of onions, and then a layer of peppers of your choice. And then lay the sausages on top of the peppers and let roast in a 400 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes, flip the sausages over and go 20 to 30 minutoes more...just keep an eye on them to make sure they all cook evenly. If you have a convection oven, that helps tremendously...
The great thing about sausage and peppers for game day is the versitility of the peppers themselves. Not only can you throw a hot pepper in there or two to please the livelier of your guests palates, but sweet bell peppers come in a variety of colors. If you like, pick colors that correspond to one of the teams in the game! Green and yellow peppers for green bay, for example. Red peppers for the cardinals, Red and orange for the 49ers (same works for red skins)...
Anyway...I occasionally throw monday night football gatherings for my afterwork crew and thats usually my staple...as simple as it is, you would find it funny how many folks are impressed more with the color of the peppers corresponding to the game than the food itself!
The only problem is that at the end of the day, your choice of colors is not based on team preference as much as available sweet bell peppers....your pretty much limited to green, red, orange, yellow, and occasionally brown (chocolate) if you can find them. Dark blue and purple sweet peppers turn green as they cook and I learned that the hard way being a Chicago Bears fan.
Anyways...I'll post a few more gameday recipes here since I entertain during the season often...I hope a few of you join me. :up

BRATS BRATS and BRATS!
(Bears vs. the Packers)
This recipe is for about two pounds of bratwurst...
Poke the brats with a fork so they don't explode. Melt a cup of butter in a large stewpot with about two thinly sliced onions. Add the brats to the pot, and sloooooowwwly pour in the beer, about six cans worth. Bring to a boil and let the whole thing simmer for about 20 minutes or so.
Heat up the grill to about medium heat, and personally, since my gas grill has a rack above the cooking surface, I like to smoke some hickory chips right on the grill itself, while letting the brats cook for an additional 15 minutes on the rack right over the smoking hickory. (I can use whats left of the planks I used for the brisket!)
Its incredible. Too bad its all in honor of the team I want the Bears to beat the most!

No big party...weather stinks here at the moment in Chicago...
But it didn't stop me from grilling a swordfish steak for my lady. (the Bears playing a Florida team (Jax)...so I figured swordfish...
)
seasoned with a wee-bit of olive oil, lemon pepper and garlic salt. What you see next to it is linguine sauted in olive oil and herbs, that salad is a spinach and tomato salad in balsamic vinagriete.

...But now we face Houston. And it just so happens I got a big ole box of omaha steaks for christmas! Rib_eyes no less...I'm thinking those steaks would make for a fine gameday meal vs. Houston...

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

Help, I'm a little confjused on the activation process.
I purchased the Joey 4 from Solid Signal and shipping box has Call 866 726-4282 to Avtivate new Receiver. That number is Solid Signals number.
I googled and that search said call Dish to activate. I assume that is correct unless this requires a 2 step process.
Please let me know.
Thanks

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

The new curated multiview is now live.
While on many of the sports channels and non sports channels there is a multi view option button. It will pull up a side bar with many different multi view options.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

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.

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!

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.
