Just moments ago as I was perusing my favorite Satelite site, my HBO HD started popping a lost signal warning...I let it go on a few moments, then decided to change the channel. As I punched the button for the guide, the channel came back!! then went away...button...back...off...button...back...weird!

I have a 622, and have never seen anything like this before...any i (wait, I have to hit the button again)deas what might be causing this?

Keith

PS it seems as long as I leave the program guide up, the channel stays on.

My 622 was doing the same thing last night. Tuner #2 was recording NTGEO HD (off 129) nad evidently due to low signal the los warning kept popping up, pressed the guide button and it comes back, goes away, press Guide, comes back, on and on.

I checked the recording and it was OK (a few episodes of blockiness and pixellation).

Appears to be a signal issue.

Since my locals are now on 110, I'm moving my 148 dish to 61.5.

I had the same problem with my 722. I called tech support and they scheduled a service call. In the meantime, I powered down the receiver, swapped the antenna leads from my 522. The problem went away. I started to get an error from the 522. I performed a check switch on it and the problem went away from that one, too.

Signal strength is 56 on both.

That stupid Loss of Signal warning needs an off option. I really hate it.

Just a black screen with no sound, don't we get that when there are other problems with a receiver. CSR's could really mess up people without the LOS screen.

No, I mean the little pop-up that covers your picture everytime it pixelates a little bit from a second of signal loss and then you are FORCED to press OK on the remote for it to go away. It will pop-up 30 times an hour during a bad storm.

Same issues I have from time to time, even w/ the pix working ok while in the guide... check your "pip" source if you have OTA connected to the 622...

Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson had an argument about who was responsible for the dynasty building of the early 90's Cowboys.

The rest of us figured it out in about 3 years, Jerry has had over 30 years but still can't admit it. It's all he lives for, to show everyone he can put together a winner. I don't think he can. His kids only know what he taught them.

Johnson built it, but without the Herschel Walker trade, it never happens.

Jerry made himself General Manager after he bought the team but make no mistake Jimmy engineered that trade. As well as a lot of others at the time.

Jimmy Johnson is a football guy. Jerry Jones is a marketer (hustler).

When I see a football player get a 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct (like taunting) in a close game, I often wonder what he was thinking. Was he thinking, I'm doing everything I can to make this a better team and help win a championship? Or, was he saying to himself, I want everyone to notice how great I am?

Johnson inspires one, Jones the other.

Season 2 order already in hand:

'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1

I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I'm sure I will watch at least the first episode but I am not optimistic.
Here i am over a year later and just finished season 1. Not great but not as bad as I was expecting. Did not care for the barefoot captain stuff but overall ok. Actually looking forward to see what they did for season 2.

Yeah, the foot stuff was just nasty. I kept thinking of how dirty her feet would get traipsing around shoe-less. Funny, I love being shoe less at home and never wear shoes indoors in my home for long, but seeing her laying on all her furniture with her bare feet hanging out just kind of grossed me out.

There would still be dirt ,dust in the future I am sure. So walking around the station like she did she would get stuff on her feet. I am sure the robot vacuum is still going to miss stuff, with all those different alien species running around there.

Where is it going to come from -- specifically?

Why do you think cleaning technology won't improve in the next few hundred years? HEPA filtration was invented as part of the Manhattan Project.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that. ;)

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.

If you ponied up for an iPhone Duo, keep it away from anything other than your soft, fleshy fingertips. No fingernails, no dust, sand, dirt, or other particulate matter. And don't bend it more than it needs to. Zack has destroyed $2,000 of Apple hardware to get those views, which should cover his expenses.

IFixIt has published their Teardown and they had some positive things to say about the iPhone Duo. It still showed some dust ingress into the hinge assembly but seemed otherwise well-sealed.
​

But with a considerable number of reports of the main screen dying with similar failures, AppleCare+ should be a no-brainer for this phone.

Don't know if any of you have watched this series yet, it would be interesting to see if you feel this review was accurate. It was very humorous to listen to however.

If the review is like the article, oi! Eighteen paragraphs into the review and... all they've done is not really talk at all about the actual thing they are reviewing.

Halfway into the "written" review, I know more about how the writer "thinks" than I do about what they are writing about. I understand their politics, their self-overestimated understanding of film, their inability to be funny.

Takes about 22 paragraphs to get to one that starts "Anyway, the story kicks off...". Talk about Slop! 😂
