warning : movers and service address bungle.. doh

Word of warning to movers... Got a free roku offer and rather than hang up, move home, call back, I took my chances and asked for shipment to my billing address. had them confirm the address over the phone. Called back, different rep, confirmed it again was shipping to my billing address. And.. it went to my service address.

So, now I get no Roku (through my own fault) as I don't see how to correct it. Oh well, the price you pay to change RSN's.

(I only moved 10 miles, across a big river, which happens to be the changeover point for the RSN's)

Call back and tell them you did not receive it and to reship properly to your billing address.

The Roku does not have an option to change the shipping address. It will auto default to the service address on the account.

unfortunately I got two CSRs who didn't know that. Bad luck.

The package was signed for, I tried to locate the person by knocking on doors, white pages are useless these days, and I was unsuccessful. I feel that since this is basically my fault for not being present at the service address it would be unethical to call and try to get another shipped to me. So as far as I'm concerned this is case-closed and I'm not blaming Dish or Roku. I do think it sucks that Fed Ex will let anyone on the street sign for a package.

if I want one bad enough, they aren't very expensive.

Mine was shipped to my business address just fine as I've had a lot of theft take place when packages are left at my home address and no one is home.

Huh ? It was (presumably) signed by the resident at the address you specified ! FedEx did NOTHING wrong.

There is an option in there somewhere, because I did not "move" back, and got it sent to my billing address with no problems.

I called this last week to get a free Roku on my second account for my Dad and specified that I wanted to get the roku sent to my Billing address listed on the account. I went on a 4 day vacation and when I returned Sunday it was there in my mail box ,just like I asked. I think you have to be clear and insist that you want it sent to your billing address and make sure it is going there.

The address doesn't exist. It's like adding imaginary floors to a building (unit 20 in a 10 unit complex, that kind of thing) so he did his best and left it with someone else, who I tried and failed to find. It's their policy to leave it with a neighbor if the address is ambiguous (I asked), and it's my imaginary address, so it sucks for me that they do that, but I can hardly blame them when it was my setup that caused this. I'm not meaning to cry foul, just giving an FYI to anyone else who might be in the same position.

I confirmed twice it was set to go to billing, and it still didn't, there's not much else I can do. So... be careful everyone !

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....

Monday 11/2 is a full slate for NBA League Pass as all 30 teams are playing and 14 out of 15 total games are on NBALP. Only one national TV game on Peacock/NBCSN (Thunder @ Cavs).

DirecTV is even having to use several MLB EI channels (from 745-748) and a NHL CI (770) channel to fit all of them in the guide close together. 5 games at 7:30 ET, 3 games at 8 ET, 2 games at 8:30 ET, 1 game at 9 ET, 3 games at 10 ET. Luckily NHL CI is light on Monday (3 games on CI).

DirecTV is providing both broadcast feeds for all League Pass games except Hornets, Magic, Bucks & Raptors that night. These are all teams that have local broadcasts via a OTA channel which is on spotbeams and have streaming deals (DTC) that are not exclusive DAZN teams which DirecTV just signed a deal with (à la Spurs, Grizzlies, Cavs, Pacers & T'Wolves). Its also very common that we don't get Raptors broadcast very often from TSN or Sportsnet Ontario on League Pass.

11/2/26 (MON) EASTERN	7:00 PM	7:30 PM	8:00 PM	8:30 PM	9:00 PM	10:00 PM
Peacock/NBCSN	Thunder @ Cavaliers
NBA League Pass	None	Pistons (745) @ Hornets	Kings (755) @ Mavericks (756)	Celtics (760) @ Rockets (761)	Trail Blazers (764) @ Nuggets (765)	Suns (769) @ Warriors (770)
		Hawks (746) @ Pacers (747)	Pelicans (757) @ Grizzlies (758)	Jazz (762) @ Spurs (763)		Raptors @ Clippers (766)
		Nets (748) @ Knicks (751)	Bucks @ T'Wolves (759)			Heat (767) @ Lakers (768)
		Wizards (752) @ Magic
		Bulls (753) @ 76ers (754)
		*No Hornets, Magic local broadcasts	*No Bucks local broadcast			*No Raptors local broadcast

Only the Knicks, Nets, Wizards, Bulls, Celtics, Rockets, Lakers, Warriors, Avalanche, Sharks and Bruins feeds will be using remaps of 24/7 RSNs that night. The rest will be relying on the part time feeds, including the Nuggets, Blackhawks and Kings who will be on their alt/overflow channels, and MSG Western NY will be live on channel 635-1 to carry Buffalo area ads during the Knicks game.

The NHL Network alternate will be live on channel 215-1 with Red Wings @ Panthers for those blacked out of Golden Knights @ Bruins on the main feed.

The Thunder @ Cavaliers game will be on one of Peacock Game Pass channels that night for commercial customers, they'll also have the back to back U-Conn Women's and Men's Basketball. One of the part time feeds will also be in use for WWE Raw via Joe Hand promotions.

RIP Patrick Stewart

Patrick Stewart died yesterday, October 28th at the age of 86. We lost yet another great actor.

Since it was already "paid" for, I spent the two hours of my time watching the John Cena action movie on Apple TV, "Matchbox The Movie" even though the reviews were brutal. It was better than I expected, so I didn't feel like I had wasted an afternoon watching it. But it felt like another "Reacher"/"Neghley"/"Mission: Impossible"/"Fast & Furious" crash and blow stuff up with lots of automatic gunfire mixed in movie featuring covert CIA operatives.

I don't think we'll get a follow-up movie from this. I expect Mattel will have other toy lines to exploit.
