....an AFC Championship between the Ravens and the Steelers makes me absolutely sick. I can't decide who I hate more. I guess I'll be "rooting" for the Ravens as I can't stand the thought of having to deal with all the obnoxious Steelers fans here in NE Ohio.

I understand your hatred towards divisional foes..........as a Jets fan I hate Miami, Buffalo and especially the Patsies.

That being said, if I were a Browns fan, who I "hate" more between Baltimore and Pittsburgh would be a no-brainer.


I realize your rivalry with Pittsburgh is very intense, but at least the Steelers didn't steal (no pun intended) your team.

I guess I dislike the Ravens more......and I give Rooney credit for voting against modell.

Having said that, I feel like I'm surronded by Steelers fans here in Cleveland and I can't stand hearing them run their mouths.

If your Browns would win once in a while you wouldn't have to hear the Steeler's fans ....

I agree, think how Lions fans must feel when their neighbors fly a Green Bay or Bears flag.

Come on, really, you want the team that took your original team away to win because your neighbor flies a Steelers flag, I wouldn't root for any other team in the division because I hate both teams, personally if it was Clowns Vs. Pigeons, I would root for Arizona.

Go ahead Clowns fans, root for the pigeons, we don't want any of YUNZ to back us.:D

I couldn't agree more Skyhi. My two least favorite teams in sports will be playing for a shot to advance to the Super Bowl. How wretched! Watching the big game this year will leave me with an ill feeling in my tummy. Go NFC!

While Baltimore stole our team and is composed of a bunch of loud mouth thugs, I despise Pittsburgh just the same because of their proud, loud mouth, yellow flag waiving Yinzer fans. A respectable franchise, sure. But the inter-state rivalry has instilled a lifetime's worth of bad feelings about this team as well.

I also have a Stoolers neighbor fan. He was born and raised here in Cleveland which makes me absolutely sick. I can't stand Pittsburgh fans in Cleveland. He has this big ugly Steeler grill cover on his back deck. Every time I wake up or look outside I see that ugly logo and throw up in my mouth.

Someday my friend, we will take the neighborhood back and the Browns flags and paraphernalia will dominate again! (I hope... :()

Remember how the Indians was winning in 95, 96, 97, 98, 99? Remember how the city was Cleveland Indians crazy? If the Browns do that. This city will turn up side down! Its about to happen with the CAVS. Let the city get a NBA Championship. Im talkin....Parade! Summer time! Downtown Cleveland!! OH LORD!!!! LOL Party party party!!! Big time!! Hell they should throw in the rib burn off during that time. LOL
But if the Browns win a Superbowl!! Shut the city down. Not just downtown! Oh man...You thought President Obama draws a crowd. Let the Browns win a Superbowl. Bananas!! Big Time. Will be a great time! Watch and see.

Most certainly this city would go banana's if/when one of our teams wins the big one. This city is so hungry for a Championship it's sick! Such die-hard fans here. But make no bones about it though, this city is still a Football first town. I can't even imagine what would happen if the Browns were winners.

Remember in training camp this year before Browns season when the droves of fans that showed up chanted "Super Bowl"??! I can't imagine any other NFL team that has the amount of fans that show up for a training camp session as the Browns do. This city is geeked about sports, especially their Browns. Only in Cleveland!

Believe it or not, but I've never seen one. We are a loyal lot, our unity may be actually galvanized by the teams recent exploits. A real love/hate relationship. Read the article linked in the NFL thread, and you will understand why.

Picked up a sweet directv dish, mount, twin lnbs and a short cable.
Has anyone converted one to FTA? A Frankenstein of sorts...

would probably also work well for NHK on 101W and possibly for PBS on 99W. I used one for a while on 30W. Just keep in mind that because it's undersized for those satellites, it might work fine in clear weather but won't have much margin to account for signal degradation during rain/snow

If you can find one, the Shaw / Star Choice 75e ellipticals are great for use on 97, 99, and 101W. They are really just rebranded ChannelMaster 75 cm reflectors and use linear LNBFs by default out of the box.

Everyone else's mileage may vary.

I have read that some have converted this type dish but after giving it a good look, it's the lnb conversion that is the bottleneck. Does anyone have a picture of their attempt to configure the lnb? I watched a video on youtube from the save it for parts guy and he used duct tape! Guess it worked but I'm thinking something a bit more permanent!
Thanks to all for your interest and replies...

Many of us have used a universal LNBF mount (or get creative with L brackets and plumbers tape - perforated metal strapping). Use a few inches of aluminum tube (or a piece of 1x2" lumber) to extend the support arm (replacing the plastic mount used by DirecTV and Dish) to place the LNBF throat opening at the correct distance from the reflector, the correct height and at the correct angle. Nothing magical... simply place the new linear LNBF in the center at the same distance, height and angle as the current combo.

To add: 101W Ku seems to be (one of if not the) strongest for me, and if I only had Ku I definitely want 101W for the music mux, it's robust FEC and strong signal help a lot. I've thought about using a used Dish/DirectTV dish at my Dads to supplement his OTA (mainly for my benefit when I visit :) )

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....

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.
