As of yesterday afternoon, PowerVu encryption has been applied to the following CBC Radio feeds:

SIRIUS RADIO ONE

Bummer.

That explains it... I tried for the first time ever to tune in the CBC radio feeds on the weekend and only found the $crambled signals. I was thinking that maybe I had the wrong polarity or was scanning the wrong satellite.

I am fortunate to live in an area where I receive both CBC Radio 1 and CBC Radio 2 completely static free. I wanted it on the weekend to tune into a Central timezone feed..

It defies logic to scramble CBC. It is tax-payer supported, and I think that there should be MORE in-the-clear CBC broadcasts on satellite.

This mux includes a feed from CBC to Sirius, complete with station I.D.s by CBC on-air personalities, indicating "You are listening to Sirius channel 137."

Speculation: Sirius' is paying the CBC to provide this "ready to air" programming. Sirius' business model is, in part, based on customers paying Sirius to grant them the privilege of listening to this programming. The unencrypted feed made it possible for potential Sirius customers to legally enjoy this programming without paying Sirius. Sirius saw this as a loss of potential revenue, and moved to plug the leak, no matter how small that leak may have been.

I hate corporate greedsters. They worship money and would sell their own mothers as long as they could make a penny profit.

At least where I'm going (Australia) I'll get free health care. The corporate greedsters haven't gotten their greedy, sticky fingers into that. Yet. :mad:

I think alot of it has to do with the programming. Hockey being the big one but recently CBC has been buying some US programming like Wheel & Jeopardy (I guess they can claim Jeopardy is Canadian since Alex Trebek is Canadian) ;)

I wish the CBC was free....just one feed is all we need :)

Partly correct. The CBC was buying US programming back in the 80's. A number of Canucks were complaining of loss of Canadian identity. I remember that 'Murder She Wrote' showed on CBC several days before it did in the States. When 'Beachcombers' ended its run, some of the reporters said it ended because it was 'too Canadian'. Hey, that's why I watched it. Same with 'North of 40', and 'Seeing Things'. I wish they had replaced the US stuff with Canadian shows and left the feed in the clear. That would have made a good advertisement for tourists.

I miss the days when you could point your dish at one of the Anik birds and get CBC programming for free....

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.
