I really hate reading your comments simply because you seem to act as if Directv was the GOD of all companies. Dish lies, Directv lies, time warner lies etc, you get the point here dont you?
i am glad people are catching on Dish not having 200 hd channels, hopefully it will make them step it up, BUT, and its a big BUT, Directv isnt great either, they also lie. Listen, I have Dish HD, and for all i care, Directv can have a BILLION HD channels, but if they dont have that ONE channel you LOVE, i.e. Fox Soccer Channel HD, you just dont care. Im pretty sure you wont be watching those 200hd channels anyway, in fact i bet you only watch like 10 hd channels of the possible 90 you have...

My main point is just to relax your roll. You seem to really LOVE hating on Dish, and claim Directv is the best, and i just hate that mate. They are BOTH horrible in some things and GREAT in lying, so hopefully you understand that you shouldnt be bashing Dish as much as you do since directv isnt all that better.

Trust me, i have read ENOUGH of your posts, especially the ones you have on the new Directv HD channels. I mean seriously? Do you REALLY have to, like, TRIPLE post to get your point through about how Charlie lies? C'mon, thats like crying wolf about the Government lying to us, we know, but yet there is people saying it over and over as if it is a brand new thing.

I don't think it's fair to call out Charlie at Dish. Every TV provider makes false claims. It just seems that the claims Dish makes affects you the most. Wouldn't it be great if they just advertised the channels they actually have in HD that people like to watch. As for now I think Dish has the best selection. Soon D* will have about the same thing. Seems to me they will be even with each other and it will come down to what equipment you like or if you need to have Sports packages or not.

Are you seriously that stupid? Your telling me we dont get your point? For gosh sakes! the only reason why im posting these messages is because YOU dont seem to know that you go OVERBOARD on your point. If you read my first post against you, i clearly said "WE GET YOUR POINT" so top posting these stupid messages. Again, this shows how stupid Americans have become. If you see a commercial on t.v. that says they are better, you absolutely agree. And when it comes to arguing, people just don't seem to know what facts are relevant and what the other person has stated.

So what if i have been a member here for only a month? Does that mean i am clueless about everything? Im pretty sure Directv's CEO isnt on this website and guess what? HE RUNS A SATELLITE COMPANY! Hemi 6.1, you are horrible at arguing, and apparently drank directvs cool-aid to quickly...

i have never ever had a cust decide his provider based on total number of hd channels, ( i sell and install both ) I think that both providers could better spend advertising dollars and be more competitive simply by pointing out other positive features they have. The " tell the truth" adds make all three providers look bad.

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 Discussion

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
clear.gif

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
clear.gif

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.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy - Paramount+

Season 2 order already in hand:

'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1

I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

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.
