Hey guys,
Greetings from Memphis where it is HOT! Today was day one of the 2005 Satellite Expo and what a great and busy day. The SatelliteGuys booth opened up and was a success as was our introduction of the SatelliteGuys Girls.
We opened up the day at the booth with some technical problems, the Internet Cafe's internet was down. After doing some checking we figured it was a bad wireless router. Got the router replaced and all was well.
People were anxious to try out the WildBlue setups we had. I got to be honest I am a user of a dedicated 6 meg connection at my office. I could see the latency which by my tests was around 400ms. But thats nothing bad about WildBlue as all satelite based internet services have the same issue.
With that being said I was impressed with the speed, out 1.5 MB connection tested at or near 1.5 mb when testing things out at various speed test sites.
If you are coming from a dial up modem you will not notice the latency issues and will love Wildblue.
Starband another satellite internet company announced their new Starband Flyer which is self pointing dish for use by RVers. Now those traveling can have broadband no matter where they call home for the night. More details of the Starband Flyer can be found at http://www.starband.com/special/manualflyer.asp
One of the COOLEST things I have seen at the show is from RAYSAT, it is a special antenna you attach to the luggage rack and let's you watch Dish Netwrok or DirecTV while the vechicle is in motion. Now this technology has been around for a few years now, but what makes this product VERY interesting is this one can also do two way Satellite Bradband Internet while the vehcical is in motion! I will be bringing you guys more information on this way cool product, it is one of the coolest things I have seen so far at the show.
I didn't get to go on the floor much today with our technical issues and the fact there was a car accident outside the Agricenter which knocked out the power for 90 minutes did not help things.
If you look at the photo section at http://www.satelliteguys.us/photos you will notice lots of photos of our lovely SatelliteGirls with attendes of the show, many of these folks are SatelliteGuys members! Later on I will try my best to match some names to the faces.
Look for more photos and coverage to come, this expo has only just begun!
If you are in the area stop in and say hello!
Time for bed for me. Goodnight from Memphis!

Well another day of the show is gone. I got a chance to visit many of the booths and see some really cool stuff.
Got to meet a lot of folks today as well!
I will be doing more in depth writeups when I get back to my hotel room, but some things I saw here rocked.
The Internet Cafe ran great today it was amazing to see the Cafe packed with people, we even had the guys from SkyReport and SkyRetailer in the booth working on their stories for Mondays editions.
It is amazing that our booth has become the hot spot to hang out at the show.
As you might have noticed we have setup a live webcam and had fun doing a couple of goofy shots for everyone.
Tommorow is the final day of the show, there will be a huge party tommorow night after the show closes, this is where they will announce the location of the 2006 Satellite Expo. I don't know much about the location, but I hear it is quite Peachy.
More later!

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. 
Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

when was the last time they innovated something
I'd probably say when they came up with their M-series of processors with integrated memory. That allowed Apple to get away from the inefficient Intel CPUs that were limiting their notebook computers.when was the last time they innovated something

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

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....
