Hi all, new guy here. Few questions/comments
I did the d/l last night and I love the new guide. The Pandora is cool, the whole thing looks sweet and no problems here so far. The only thing that seems to be a step back IMO is the lack of the movie cover in the guide and/or in the info and also the star ratings of the movies. Sometimes the star ratings were way off but I thought for the most part they were pretty accurate and I watched a lot of really good movies I wouldn't normally of watched due to them being listed as at least 4 stars. Anyone know if those 2 features are gone for good or if DirecTV just wanted to see how much people liked them by taking them away and seeing how much feedback they got about it?
Also I noticed the actor's birthday, where they were born, and their picture is not on the guide anymore but I'm guessing that mine just hasn't finished loading as I believe I remember that being the case after a previous update.
BTW I love the forum so far. I found it while 2 techs were at my house doing a whole home that over 4 hours and I had all the equipment but just needed the swim and the deca installed!
Was on here to see what exactly they needed to do and try to make sense of why it was taking so damn long! Also the HDUI hadnt been released where I live yet so I was also happy to find out a way to get that now, was tired of waiting after watching the video on it about a week ago.
Look forward to chatting it up with you all in the future! Thanks for any answers to my questions in advance!
Oh one final note: I have 3 HR21/700 one of which has a 1TB WD external added and Also have 3 of the HD receivers that look just like the HR21 but do not have DVR. My personal setup is the HR21/700 with the added hard drive, hooked up to 2010 Samsung 7.1 3D home theater system hooked up to a 2010 3D LED 240hz 40" Samsung TV. Xbox 360 250GB w/Kinect and a PS3. Before you guys give me hell about the home theater in a box I got, I couldnt turn it down after the deal Dell gave me on it. Also have a 50" Panasonic plasma, 42" LG LCD, and a 32" Sony Bravia. I will put a better breakdown of all my toys in my sig when I get some more time.

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....

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.

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.
I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.
Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

For the naysayers who did not think this service would make it, just added another 4.9M subscribers and that was after the removal of 1.2M Russia subscribers.
This is even better, Paramount+ revenue grew 120% and Subscription revenue grew 74% year-over-year ( 2nd quarter 2021/ 2nd quarter 2022) to $830M, principally reflecting paid subscriber growth on Paramount+.
Now compare that to Peacock with only 13 million paid, 13 million free.

So, this means that those of us with Commercial Free subs, won't be Commercial Free, unless we wait till after the show is over ?
Which would make same day, not that big of a deal.
Paramount+ has always had the CBS shows on the CBS local channel and yes with commercials. What they are doing now is releasing the OnDemand versions of the show which I believe they don't release until after the shows air on the west coast. And they will be commercial free if you subscribe to the ad free version of Paramount+.So, this means that those of us with Commercial Free subs, won't be Commercial Free, unless we wait till after the show is over ?

I wasn't up at 3:00 am to check but they are there at 8:00 am today.
The new curated multiview is now live.
While on many of the sports channels and non sports channels there is a multi view option button. It will pull up a side bar with many different multi view options.

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…
