So I go to activate my old 510 so I can get the new spiffy dish earth channel, call up coustomer service, got the phillipeans, explained to them that I wanted to restablish my service and I have moved. Give them the R00 number of my reciver, and then the guy goes on and explains that I can only sub to my locals because I have a DTV pal. Wait what does a DTV pal have to do with dish network service??? Nothing... I explain to him that I want dish network service not dtv pal. He just didnt get it.
Asked to be transfered to america... Puts me on hold, I hang up..
Call again, phillipeans again... I hang up..
Called again, Phillipeans a third time.. I hang up again..
Called tech support..
Got some lady from the us. Thank god. Explain that I wanted to reactivate my service, and give the roo number to them. They find my old account but apparently its too old to reactivate it. On top of it when I ordered my DTV pal's they created a brand new account that show's active even when there is no active service.
So they try to activate the 510 on the new account. They get it moved over but then they get stuck as the system wants them to put in an Eastern arch dish on a legacy equipment. WTF guys why cant you just hit the activation button and activate it allready, Dish is up on western arch and I have signal and am good to go!. Apparently they cant do that.. So they are talking about rebuilding my account as its allready 10pm. She wants to have someone call me back in an hour when they are done. Your kidding right? that would make it around 11 pm. Sorry, but Ill stick with my current provider.
Dish how can you say that you are willing to serously change when you cant even do a simple activation for a coustomer. Come on now!

Dish Network (aka EchoStar) now ticking-off Slingbox Customers
Likewise, now that EchoStar has control of Sling Media the bastards (I cannot think of a nicer name) downgrade my SlingBox Classic (reduced its supported devices) to the point where I would have to buy a Sling PRO HD to continue using my Sony HD DVR that I had been using for more than 2-years...and they don't even want to talk to me unless I pay them $30 for a support call because my unit it out of warranty.
Hmmm....they break my Slingbox Classic with their firmware-->tell me I can pay $250 to buy a new Sling unit to support the unit I have been controling with my Classic for more than 2-years-->and they won't answer any questions until I pay them $30 for a support call. Yep, EchoStar is now killing Sling Media. As far as I am concerned, Dish Network can continue losing customers, I hope Tivo/Judge turns off their DVRs, I hope VOOM wins a billion-dollar judgment, and I hope the 922 catches fire (much like the proverbial Pinto) and burns down millions of their customers homes.
OK, perhaps I have gone just a little too far now. But I don't like anyone pissing in my wheaties .
I use to have Dish Network service, but I too ordered a DTV Pal or two after I left Dish Network. They create a new account, but in the process they managed to create at least a dozen duplicate accounts under my name. I know this because I called to check on possibly reactivating my old Dish Network account while I was staying at my Virginia home. Needless to say, they offered me nothing to re-gain my business and they were unable to reactivate my account because if I wanted service because there were so many of them in the system.

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.

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....
