When I am not watching TV, the RTN intermission music plays in my head over and over.

Maybe this has something to do with the broken record style play of this:

RETRO TELEVISION NETWORK
GET RETROFIED
PRIMETIME ALL THE TIME

Then a bunch of

RETRO TELEVISION NETWORK
RETRO TELEVISION NETWORK
RETRO TELEVISION NETWORK
RETRO TELEVISION NETWORK
RETRO TELEVISION NETWORK
RETRO TELEVISION NETWORK

squash vertically together like fonts in the Mary Tyler Moore intro.

But what is going on here? This has been repeating over and over for about 20 minutes on RTNEAST. (16:30 GMT-7)

Computer on with RTN on in the background.

Must... do... something... else...

enough sense to come in out of the rain?

... or for our more northern members, "out of the snow"?

Kinda reminds me of the old joke:
Man goes into the Doctor and says, "Doctor, Doctor, it hurts when I do this", and proceeds to punch himself in the shoulder.
The Doctor says, "Don't do that!"

But, if you have to come to SatGuys to get laughed at, well . . .

Which reminds me of a similar joke , Man goes to the doctor and uses his index finger poking the areas of his body where he is in pain ,
" It hurts when I touch myself , here , here , here , and here" .....
The doctor say's can I see your finger ?
" just as I suspected , your finger is broken "

What's the likelihood RTN could ever be added as a national channel on Dish Network, either as a PI or regular basic channel? I would rather have AmericanLife TV for the old school shows, but RTN is surely cheaper and would provide a nice alternative to TV Land.

jegrant

Jan 18, 2009

Maybe with an Azteca America style agreement, Dish could offer a national RTN to those without a local, and add local RTNs to spot beams for local markets.
Although wasn't there some issue about RTN not wanting/affording to pay for national rights, and they (apparently) get by cheaper on local rights?

They were high-end specialty, somewhat buggy and the 612/622/722 just overwhelmed it in popularity.

I think they were more of a transitional receiver bridging the VIPs to the Hopper. They were a PITA to install and were buggy. Personally, I thought at the time that they were the best receiver out there. The versatility of the VIP's with the new Hopper GUI and, by far, the coolest-looking front plate and lighting.

Well if it is because of reliability that wouldnt shock me.I went through 5 or 6 of them in little over 2 years. I loved the Sling when it worked! Saved lots of money having it in the day. That was probably 15 or 16 years ago?

I don't recall that they came out just before hopper, but rather that they came out even before 722. Or could be thinking of 921.

As to the title pf the post, "rare" does not necessarily mean valuable or desirable.

You are thinking of the 921. The 922 was the first DVR with Sling functionality built in (that was eventually disabled along with the Sling Adapter for the 722s and the 1st Hopper because they relied on now-defunct Adobe Flash technology). With the bugginess described by others and the removal of its marquee feature (Sling) the 922 faded into obscurity once the Hopper 2 with built in Sling was released and they finally made the concept into a fully functional product.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

Has anyone noticed an FF stutter with 713? I used to be able to hit FF a few times and skip smoothly. After 713 (maybe 712), when I skip forward, there is a definite stutter for as many times as I have pressed FF.

Can anyone check on this and report back? Recorded programs and then press skip forward a few times to see if it's smooth? Normally, it just jumps to the right place after the skips.

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.

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.

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.
