I have a 27" RCA SDTV, but it has no svideo and is smallish. I can trade up to a Toshiba 32d47 2 year old sdtv for $50. Anyone that owns a larger Toshiba tube tv, tell me of your experience with this tv, and maybe a picture of a image on it? thanks

I had a Toshiba 32" tv model CX32E60 I bought in 1997, and kept until I went flat-panel LCD at the end of 2006. I loved that tv..
Good tv's, BUT, their power supplies are real sensitive to bad power coming in. IF you get this tv, I highly suggest you have it running from a good UPS. I ran mine once from a generator that put out crappy power, and it nuked the power supply.
Now, I'm an electronic tech, and was able to fix it by replacing the bad IC chip, and a couple diodes, BUT, it stayed unstable from then on, and I had to mount a pc fan in there, to keep that chip COLD. If not, it would overheat, and fry nearly instantly. Over 7 years of continuing to use the tv once that happened, I had to replace the ic chip another 2-3 times, and the diodes about 4 times to keep it running.
If you aren't a tech, and can't fix it, you can't afford to pay anybody to do it for you....

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.

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.

WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNET PART OF IT. NO ONE WANTS A BOX CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET EITHER.

Cutting Edge
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 was bewildered with all the new DISH TV "Bonus View" channels, so I put together a web page table with all the info I could find. It's at:
https://anythingpeaceful.org/dishtv/DISH_TV_Bonus_View_Channels.html
Here's a partial screenshot of the table, as sorted by Channel Name. (You can click on a column header to sort.)
If you have any corrections or suggestions, please post here.
