DISH gets FCC Approval

Just got this in from SeekingAlpha.

The FCC has voted 3-2 to allow Dish Network (DISH) to use 40MHz. of spectrum to offer 4G services, sources tell Multichannel News. As expected, Dish will have to cap its power output for the portion of the spectrum that's near an adjacent band, in order to address interference worries. Now comes the tough part for Dish: deciding whether to spend billions to build a network on its own, or to partner with a Sprint or perhaps even a Google.

If they partner with anyone but Verizon in my neck of the woods, they won't sell a single contract. V and Carolina West have all of the marbles around here.

Google purchased Moto Mobility like 6 months ago... Asus and Google have been working together on various projects (Google Chrome Netbook) for quite some time .. pre-moto merger, so it makes sense that the Nexus series came from Asus.

I think you just like to argue... why? I have no idea.

That said, Google purchased Moto's patent portfolio.... that just so happened to come with an entire mobility company.


Regarding brand-identification: WTF are you talking about? I like the company and hope for good things much the same way I would for a sports team.

No. I just have no problem offering a differing opinion, and explaining the logic behind it.

It's pretty clear. It's a brand, a company, not a sports team, or a member of the family, or a friend. So, to have an emotional attachment to one is just plain weird to me. I find fanboyism to be a form of neurosis.

I have no idea why people do that. It makes no sense.
I like Google, too, as far as a human should rationally like a corporate entity. (And, for additional personal reasons.) But, it's still just a company. And, the stuff it makes are just products.

Does that mean we will finally get 4g coverage in my area and most of the US, or will it be added some time in the future?

4G.....HA!! I look at VZW's 4G map for where I live and it indicates 4G coverage is available.
Does it work? Not really.
4G works best when one is located within a short distance of a tower AND traffic is minimal. Other than that, 4G is just a bunch of hype.

Absolutely no problem with people offering differing opinions .. it's all about the tact of delivery, friend.

Case in point.. by implying that I have a mental disorder because I'd like to see Google do good as a company is poor form.

Logic: The fact that anyone has access to their source-code and is able to be ACTIVE in the development of those technologies without being subject to copyright infringement or legal repercussions is awesome. And I'm not going to get into the philanthropic impact Google has.

I'm a big fan of Seva.. a charity... Does that make me sick?

Listen, I understand the points you are making. It's misguided for people to identify with what they have or what they drive, or what name brand they have stamped on their T-Shirt. Identifying with anything but what's inside yourself is dangerous, because in the end, you will have nothing to identify with but the gaping hole where your heart should be. That said, this type of thinking (in my narcosistic mind) is not paralleled to understanding and even "rooting" for an altruistic momentum a corporation has. From what I'm seeing, Google is doing good for the world.

Dish has to start somewhere and this would be a big jump start without having to start from scratch. They can expand the toweres that they are on to increase their coverage area. Better than starting with zero towers.

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.

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....

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.

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.
