What a PITA. Not really a fan of the sirius changes. I gave it until my last day of school, but since I am on medical leave b/c of a motorcycle crash, and finished with school, I don't anticipate driving much (mine was a real XM, not a roady type radio), I won't need it. Too bad my head unit doesn't have HD capability. I'd like to check that out.
I signed up for MLB, but I never listened during the late 07 and 08 seasons. I think I had burnout. I used the hell out of it when I was installing satellites. For 08 I spent a most of my time on music and late 07 I was heavy into talk radio. Checking out Cigar Dave, Mike McConnell, Gun Talk, Car and Driver---ect because I was working almost exclusively on weekends.
They canxed two of my favorite channels---Squizz and Rhyme. Octane was OK, but I don't like new rap at all, and the only time I couldn't handle Ryhme was when they had spitkickers or subsoniq.
Meh. I found myself channel flipping more and more anyway. It was like 57 channels and nothing on, and my head unit has 18 xm presets.
Now, I gotta get a new terrestrial antenna cable for my truck, because it doesn't pic up worth a dang (my wife's car does), and I have changed everything BUT that pesky cable.
OTOH, when I bought my head unit, I made sure to get one with a USB port so I could test a theory. One of these days I am going to install a hard drive with all my tunes on it. Works like a charm with a flash drive.

when I am at home, I don't listen to music. besides, my primary mode of transportation doesn't have a radio.
I do wish we hax XM at work. Terrestrial radio plays the same songs over and over again. every day. sort of like 20-22 on xm. Man, I hated the times when multiple channels would be playing the exact same song at the same time or within minutes. That is what 20 is for, imo.
She offered me three free months to keep me from having to pay an activation fee if I changed my mind.
They merged and immediately raised the price. WTF. If sirius bought XM, that means I am paying my $12.95 to sirius now, and yet they want to charge me another $4 for stern? If my radio said sirius on it, I could listen to stern for $12.95. That's bull crap.
I should add that I used to watch stern on tv. I don't like stern on the radio at all, and I was very happy to see him go, then the local rock station found some crappy show to replace him. It is actually worse. Way worse. Just bad radio.

You have to be talking about Shane French & Rover's Morning Glory?
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.

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.
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.

Several Dish offers showed up today in my account. Once you choose one the rest are removed. Offers were Showtime, Starz, AMC and others.

Not for me, mines has no mention of how long aka the offer period and the Terms and conditions the $0.00 is good for. All I see is one can lose $5.00 if you decide to remove it before day 31 after you add it to the account.

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....

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…

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.
