HERE TO HELP YOU!
Picked up a pair of these to replace my Sunfire HRS12's as one of the subs has a bad driver. Ideally I would like to have 15" duals to go with my Wharfedale Jade 7's but because of my room layout, that is completely impossible. These got nice reviews and seemed to be a nice balance for HT and music. These subs also had a more powerful amp and lower end than most of the subs in this size.
MSRP: $699 each/$1299 pair
Specs:
Quick and painless setup. Just unplugged the old subs and put in the SVS. Connected to a Yamaha CX-A5100 processor. Left sub plugged into L LFE and Right to R LFE. Yamaha set to L + R. Separates and directs to the appropriate sub. Reran YPAO. Huge difference. Amazing how 1 bad sub can totally mess up your setup.
Music:
Started out with Lady Antebellum's new album and some streaming from my laptop. The new subs and rerunning YPAO really cleaned and opened up my Wharfedales. Bass extended nicely down into the subs with out being overly boomy. Next listened to Joe Bonammasa's Acoustic Evening at the Vienna Opera House. Stunning. These are very musical subs.
TV and Movies:
Sticking to music, and pulled out my all time favorite Blu-ray concert "Joe Bonamaasa and Beth Hart Live in Amsterdam." Listened to it in DTS-MA. All I can say is wow.
Next I moved to TV viewing. Wasn't really much to watch that would have some bass. I had just turned the system back on, so the subs hadn't kicked in. Found "Monsters vs. Aliens" on one of the premium channels. The left sub kicked on first and then a few seconds later the right sub kicked in since I'm using L+R. Appropriate boominess while retaining its musicality. Put in the Martian next. There is where the nice rumbles and boom came in when the storm hit and their ship took off. Couch still rumbles without thumping. Watched part of Beauty and the Beast again, and it also dug deep.
Impressions: After only having them 2 days now, I am satisfied and impressed with them. They dig deeper than my Sunfires and blend nicely with my Jade 7's. They are very musical while producing nice rumble and booms in movie viewing. Overall these are nice subs for use in HT/Music setup.

To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.
As I said above, and, FWIW, I run Win11 Pro and Arch on separate 250 GB NVME drives, using F8 to select which I boot to, with a 1TB SSD for storage, accessible to both OSs and a third formatted Nvme I want to use to learn Kali. It was much faster to setup Arch than it was to strip down Windows. Windows still takes much longer to boot.

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....

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.

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.
I went into the Tools menu and requested a Guide Update. I'll try looking at it after the update completes.
edit — I now have the 148-01 4KFox events for Saturday, but not anything for 148-02 or 148-03 which don't even show as available channels. I do have 148-04 4KUSA.
As I recall you have the Flex package. Do you sub to multisport? -02 is FS1 and -03 is ESPN. -01 is Fox so you would get that if you sub to locals.Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.
