HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
Once again this Holiday Season is upon us! And once again my wife and I are throwing another special SatelliteGuys Holiday Party! This party is to say THANK YOU to all our members for our success over the year!
This year instead of giving electronics items as we have done in the past, this year we are giving away something that more people need this holiday season…. MONEY. The prizes for this year's SatelliteGuys Holiday party will be in the form of American Express, Visa & Discover Card gift cards!
The annual SatelliteGuys Holiday Party will be held on Monday Night December 8th at 9PM ET in our Chat Room. But this year in addition to being able to win in our chat room we will also have giveaways for all members including those who can't make it in to our chat room on December 8th!
Now it should be noted that this year the majority of prizes will be given to our supporters (aka Pub Members) who have made this site possible, but with that said a number of prizes will be made available to all members no matter if they have been a supporter or not. It should also be noted that the reason for doing this is just to say THANK YOU to our supporters for helping us keep the lights on in 2008. We are NOT doing this as a fund raiser for the site and we only ask that you become a supporting pub member if you want to help support the site, not because you want to try increasing your odds at winning a prize in our holiday party.
All gift card prizes are being donated directly by Scott & Eva Greczkowski and it should be noted that the cost of these items is not coming from the SatelliteGuys support fund. Again this is a thank you from us to our members for a great 2008!
Now onto the Prizes!
PUB MEMBERS / SUPPORTERS ONLY PRIZES
Grand Prize - $250 Gift Card

Grand Prize - $100 Gift Card
Second Prize - $20 Gift Card
In addition we plan on having some additional unadvertised prizes available as well some of them donated by our Gold Sponsors!
Again the majority of the fun and giveaways will happen in the SatelliteGuys Chat Room on Monday Night December, 8th starting at 9PM Eastern Time!
The Rules:
First of all, we only do this to thank you our members for the success of SatelliteGuys. We don't have to do this but we do enjoy giving back to our members to say thanks. While our "Rules" for these giveaways might not be written in legalese please understand that we have the best intentions in mind and will run a fair contest for everyone involved.
The chat room will open December 8th at 8:30PM ET and prize giveaways will begin on or around 9:01 PM ET. For all giveaways except the "second chance" drawings the member must be in the chat room to win. Winners will be selected at random by the Prize Goddess and will be announced in the chat room. The winner has 20 seconds to respond that they are with us after that time we will draw a new winner for that prize, so please pay attention to the chat room so you don't miss out!
THE SATELLITEGUYS CHAT ROOM WILL BE OPEN FOR TESTING 24/7 STARTING ON WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 3RD. Please test and make sure your computer can get into our chat server beforehand. We cannot be held responsible if for some reason you cannot get in the chat. SO AGAIN PLEASE TEST THINGS BEFORE THE CHAT STARTS!
In the unlikely event that the chat server crashes we will post an announcement to the SatelliteGuys homepage that the chat server is down. If the server does not come back online by 9:45PM ET We will then take the list of people who were in the chat before it crashed and will randomly select names and award prizes. Winners will then be announced on our homepage.
There will 3 ranges of giveaways during the night, "Everyone eligible", "Pub Members Eligible" & "Second Chance"
"Everyone Eligible" giveaways are open to everyone (except Scott & Eva Greczkowski) in the SatelliteGuys chat room at the time the prize is due to be given away. You must be in the chat room to win; when a winner is randomly selected you have 20 seconds to respond that you are with us, if you don't reply in that time frame we will draw another winner.
"Pub Members Eligible" giveaways are open to all current SatelliteGuys supporters (as designated by "Pub Member" or "Supporting Founder" designation in their user profile) In addition since all SatelliteGuys staff is volunteers they are also eligible since they donate their time to help run the site. To be eligible to win you must be in the chat room at the time of the drawings, if selected you must reply within 20 seconds that you are with us, if you don't reply in that time frame we will draw another winner.
AGAIN I WANT TO STATE THAT WE ARE NOT DOING THIS TO GAIN NEW SUPPORTERS! WE ARE ONLY DOING THIS AS WE WANT TO GIVE BACK TO OUR MEMBERS WHO HAVE MADE SATELLITEGUYS POSSIBLE OVER THE PAST YEAR! IF YOU WANT TO BECOME A PUB MEMBER ONLY DO SO AS YOU WANT TO HELP SUPPORT THE SITE, NOT BECAUSE YOU WANT TO TRY TO INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING A PRIZE! WE THANK ALL PUB MEMBERS FOR THEIR SUPPORT!
The "Second Chance" giveaways are for all SatelliteGuys members including those who are not able to join us in our Holiday Party Chat. To enter the second chance drawing just post a SatelliteGuys Holiday Greeting of your choice to our special SatelliteGuys Holiday Greeting Thread that can be found by clicking here. If you do not post to this special thread with a holiday greeting then you will not be entered to win in the "Second Chance" drawings. The deadline for entries for the second chance drawings will be Monday December 8th at 12 NOON Eastern Time. Limit one entry per member or staff member. Drawings for the second chance drawings will be done in the Holiday Party Chat and the Winners will be announced in the chat however for these "second chance" drawings the members do NOT need to be in the chat room at the time to win.
REMEMBER THE DECISION OF THE JUDGES IS FINAL.
All prizes will be shipped via USPS to the address you provide us. We are unable to ship prizes outside the United States. For prizes of $100 or above your prize will be shipped to you via registered mail with return receipt requested to make sure you received your prize. However with that said we cannot accept responsibility for any prizes lost in the mail.
Thank you for everything, you guys are the reason why we are America's Most Trusted, Respected and Visited Satellite discussion forum!

Cutting Edge
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....

For quite a while now, people with a VIP211k have been losing their recordings on their activated external HDDs... even when there's nothing physically wrong with HDD. I believe this is an intentional and underhanded tactic that Dish is pulling in an attempt to force users away from the VIP211k.
They are obviously regretting that they ever let users have a "non-dvr" dvr in the first place. You would think they would be happy charging you a $40 one time fee... and then be happy letting the customer be the one responsible for HDD failures.
Dish clearly hates the 211k bitter-clingers. This recording deletion problem is intentional (IMO), and I think it is just one more tool that they are using. Hopper and a 2-year agreement... that's what they want you to have. Think about that... a 2-year agreement... with a company $30 Billion in debt (that's with a B). What happens when all that debt causes them to drop the channel that may have been your whole reason for having Dish in the first place? Guess who's stuck with a service that no longer suits their needs... for the remainder of the 2-year agreement.
On top of that, they don't want you to install it yourself. I purchased and installed all my equipment myself. That used to be common. Now, they lie to me and tell me that my dish must be updated to use a Hopper. Funny thing is... they don't even know what dish I have because they didn't install it, and I didn't tell them. If you ask what type of dish/LNBs the hopper needs... good luck getting an answer. All they know is that whatever you have needs to be upgraded by an installer.
It is quite apparent to me that they care much more about staying in their box, than they do working with the customer. That's too bad, because it hasn't always been that way. It's like they are totally unaware of the current business environment that they are trying to compete in.
I have been a customer since 2010. I will be cancelling my service before the next period. Yeah, I know, my $1,200 a year won't make a difference to them. It just seems like they have forgotten who needs who, especially when you consider the competition in today's streaming world. But hey, they will have succeed in forcing me off the 211k.

Has anyone subscribed to NBA League Pass for 2026-27 and try to link their account to NBA.com to stream League Pass? I purchased it for 2026-27, and when I linked, I got a message saying success, but then I receive an error that my linked subscription does not include the preseason games for NBA League Pass. Is that how it has always been? I know satellite doesn't have the preseason games on the NBA League Pass channels, but I thought that I was able to stream the preseason once I linked my account on NBA.com?

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.

Nah, you just don't understand how ignore works, which is why you made your own NFL thread thinking there wasn't one
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.

OMG to freaking funny
You're no fun.
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?
