Nice to have the preview but it's not the same quality I was use to on the c band master

tvpro, why do you even have D* ?
EVERY post you have, slams D* and speaks of how great C-Band is ....
I use to have C-Band as well many years ago, till alot of stuff started going off the air., then I eventually moved on.
Yes, I agree C-Band looks better, but it SHOULD, seeing thats where it usually comes from in the first place.

Here is the whole story.
I have Direct because I was forced into it. When I ordered Direct it was because NPS put such a monkey wrench in the works early last summer to get Motorola to quit. At that point Skyvision and SRL did not have the option they came up with. In short 4DTV was dead. I wanted to watch tv I liked. I went with Direct because I would not give Charlie Ergan a lousy penny ever!
I also missed some channels that were taken from us mostly because of NPS screwing us around the last couple years they were in business. So Direct fills that void for now.
I have a contract with Direct like everyone else that signs up till June 2012. I am stuck with Direct till then. I am also supporting C band subscription with double channels on Direct and Comcast HITS. We are working on making C band great again. It will take time to undue all the bad things in the past few years and move forward.
Will I keep Direct after my contract runs out? Too early to tell, it all depends on progress on C band between now and then, DirecTv's prices vs C band and picture quality. Right now the second generations on C band HITS is better than my Direct SD because they don't downrez the video like Direct does. DC-2 uses 640x480, Direct uses 480x480. Actually the pizza services could learn a few things form C band. Like give the people quality pictures, ala-carte and no contracts. They could really win if they would listen to the customer vs their bank account total.

Ok, I'm bored .... actually - to be more precise - I'm bored of eating the same rotation of 9 or 10 meals that are currently my "go-to" meals. My wife works the long hours - I work from home as and when i feel like it ... which means i generally do most of the cooking ... and so by default - i also make out the shopping list ...
We cook at home 5 or even 6 nights a week - but we always seem to fall back on the same old tried and tested "quick and easy but tastes ok" meals. Week in week out.
Pot Roast - mash and Peas.
Spaghetti
Chicken Pasta in cheese sauce.
Curry & rice
(these are some of mine)
Now it's not that I'm not adventurous in the kitchen ... I'll try anything once or twice ... but we all do it. Unless your name is Martha Stewart or Rachel Ray .. we all eventually fall back on our 8-10 favorite "meals"
So i thought - if we shared some of our own go-to meals with each other ... we might be able to add a few "new" ones to our own arsenal of meals.
So again - I ask you ...
What's for dinner tonight ?
Please give me something new to add to my rotation ... its our weekly shop tomorrow - so i want to pull together a few idea's and try and eat a meal each day next week that I've never had before .. or at least something that is not on my current "go-to" meal plan.
What meal do you always seem to fall back on in your house ? Maybe its something that I've never tried or not had in a while. I need inspiration !! I've got a blank shopping list in front of me - and nothing sounds good .. HELP !

Smoked some salmon on the grill while enjoying some Blue Moon beer. Kinda cool tonight so I fired up the heaters. Here in FL, we fire up heaters once the temps get below 60 
As for the salmon, I seared them first, then flipped them off to the side not over the coals and brushed on some lemon pepper marinade followed by some salmon seasoning. Threw some hickory chips on the coals and then closed the vents to about 10% airflow. Yum.

I guess even the patience of us laid-back Hoosiers has its limits:

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....

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.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes.
