1. The NHL All-Star Game I saw was very entertaining. I dont care what Jimbo says- the defense-first games he enjoys are what I had to live through during the dead-puck era.

2. The Pistons are in a lot of trouble- so much so, that I'm not even mentioning the fear of a Spurs/Pistons NBA Finals, since Detroit is in no position to make a run.

3. Henrik Lundqvist gave up five goals in the second period. While All-Star Games can wreck a goalie's confidence, I wonder- did Sandra have anything to do with his shaky performance?:D:D:D

4. Now that the Hawks have turned things around, it's time to crown a new king of suck in the NBA. Grizzlies, Thunder, Kings, or Wizards?

5. In the fall of 2009, the Rams play the Lions. Could that be the first game in NFL history to not be shown anywhere? I think this game could be blacked out from coast to coast.

6. If Arizona wins the Super Bowl, would that surpass all other Super Bowl upsets that have occured?

7. Why doesn't the NHL put its All-Star Game or all seven Cup Finals games on NBC? I'd have done it the moment that contract was signed.

8. This upcoming NFL Draft will be better than last year's. There are more well-known college players; this could be shades of the monster draft of 2006.

9. I hope NBC Sunday Night Football is more careful in choosing their games. The Cardinals should get a game or two, but they must not choose a Bears game. I can't understand the fascination with such a boring and unexciting team. It's not 1985 anymore!

10. Does anyone know which teams will play on the NFL Network's annual Thanksgiving telecast?

11. Who will hit the first home-run in the new Yankee and Met stadiums?

12. Which team will be the first to play the Dallas Cowboys in their new stadium?

13. As an NFL fan, it is so annoying to miss meaningful NFL games for regional games. Suppose 8-2 Atlanta is playing 8-2 Dallas in a late doubleheader, yet I may have to watch 3-7 Green Bay play a 2-8 Rams team.

Here's a thread about this subject I put up on The506.com:

The506 Broadcast Maps Forum - Missing important NFL games for 'regional' games

14. I think Green Bay is just as annoying a team as Dallas. Somehow, nobody pegs the Packers as an annoying team that is tradition-obsessed. They get a lot of primetime games, yet it seems as if they always get the benefit of the doubt. I'm a Bills fan stuck in Packers country.

15. I will never understand why so many people were upset over the Hartford Whalers moving to Carolina. They were a mediocre franchise that won only one playoff series in history, was one-and-done six straight years, and never finished above .500 after 1991.

16. Three cities I feel should host an NHL All-Star game in the future- Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit. It's amazing that the Red Wings haven't hosted such a game since 1980.

17. I know it's early, but I'll bet dollars to donuts that KCK Halo will personally attend the 2010 MLB All-Star Game in Anaheim.

because you live in Wisconsin so the Packers are shown regardless of the "other" game. Its that simple

If you live near a home market you gonna get that local team every week...dont matter who they are going up against

1. I recorded the NHL All-Star Game and saw it on reply. I though it was mildly entertaining, but is' mightly hard to get excited about hockey without hard checking.

2. The Pistons are in a lot of trouble....been saying that since they traded Billups for Iverson. Bad move!

5. In the fall of 2009, the Rams play the Lions....I agree, who the heck would willingly watch this stinkfest.

6. If Arizona wins the Super Bowl...I don't think anything will ever elipse Joe Namath's Jets beating Johnny Unitas' "Baltimore" Colts in Super Bowl history.

7. Why doesn't the NHL put its All-Star Game or all seven Cup Finals games on NBC? I'd have done it the moment that contract was signed...Gary "A" Bettman.

14. I think Green Bay is just as annoying a team as Dallas....I think it is easy to like Green Bay, harder to like Dallas.

15. I will never understand why so many people were upset over the Hartford Whalers moving to Carolina...I would be one of those people since I don't feel fans south of the Maxon-Dixon line can identify with hockey - most don't care and will continue to watch their NASCAR stars travel in circles.

16. Three cities I feel should host an NHL All-Star game in the future- Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit. It's amazing that the Red Wings haven't hosted such a game since 1980...just like the MLB All-Star game, it's all politics. While I like your choices, I don't think playing an All-Star game in the aforementioned cities would do much to advance the game. Of course, this brings me back to my answer in #15.

NHL All-Star Game - I can't help but feel it was another blunder by the league.

You have a boring day with no football or any good sports on the tube, the NHL could have aired on NBC and probably gotten good ratings for the reach NBC has. I know if I was channel flipping and saw it on NBC, I would be watching. I didn't even know the game was being played until I saw the highlights on the late news and even if I had known about it, I don't get VERSUS.

I can understand why VERSUS gets the rights to the game, but for the sake of trying to make new fans for the league, VERSUS and NBC should have done a dual-telecast with a equal split of the revenue from the game and an equal split of the production costs so neither side could complain that one network or the other drew away viewers and thus advertising revenue from the other one.

You got that one right. Rasheed is aging before my very eyes this season.The Piston's go as he does, and right now he ain't going.

5. In the fall of 2009, the Rams play the Lions. Could that be the first game in NFL history to not be shown anywhere? I think this game could be blacked out from coast to coast.

If they show it, and nobody watches, did it really happen?

impossible...sure it could be blacked out in the home team market and Fox doesnt show it anywhere else but it HAS to be shown in the local away teams market.

All away games are REQUIRED to be shown in the teams home and secondary markets

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....

I'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

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.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

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.
