OTHER 2 questions. how can I connect satellite to my AVR and why am I getting two sats aimed at g19?!?
A bit off topic but here is the situation. I am running the gtmedia sat receiver through the craptacular builtin speakers on my hitachi plasma using normal HDMI.
I have two home theater receivers, a onkyo tx860 and a newer JVC one with optical in.
I want to connect the satellite to one of my receivers, but the sat receiver doesn't have optic out like my xbox and my bluray machines have on the back. There is an optical port on the back of my television set but I think it is an input. I might need to turn the set around to see whats up. How can I feed the digital stream into one of my receivers? At the least I'd be happy if I can get a 2channel analog stereo signal routed through the AVR.
I want to use it for music as there is some radio on satellite as well as the advantage of having an overall more enjoyable listening experience. Lol I am so use to my clipsch speakers for everything!
I also discovered I have locked into one of AMC21's tps somehow why is that? Pure luck? Some happy accident? The nature of the slimline oval reflector? overlapping sats?

AMC21 is at 125.0W, no way you are picking that up on a slimline aimed at 97.0W. Something wrong with the identification there. The optical connection on my TV is an output. The built in tuner is capable of multi-channel sound.

I think he may even be able to hose the optical output of the TV into the AVR. My Insignia does that.
These receivers are dumb when it comes to which satellite they are receiving. For example I can put my dish at 105W, but go into the receiver on Galaxy 19 and tell it to scan. It will happily scan in the channels off of 105W, but it will show the channels as G19 in the receiver. So somehow you have inadvertently scan some channels in with it set to AMC21, when in fact you were not pointed at 125W.
OR, the receiver came with preinstalled transponders for different sats and you have some that are on both birds. However, no you are not getting 125W while pointed at 97W.

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…

But.....if you like Tulsa King....looks like you would probably like this as well. I don't mind spin-offs as long as they don't involve a sassy niece who moves from the big cityAnother Tulsa King spin off.
I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

Tony as the director.
Would you rather have LaRoche ???Tony as the director.
No. Bring in someone new.
Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.
I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...No. Bring in someone new.
Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)
Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.
Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.
It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.

If you're going try to read / listen to the book (can't recommend the audio book enough) before this comes out, I'd avoid trailers.
Trailer below, spoiling it to make sure you read the above bold message first. The book / audio book are fantastic. Go into this blind if you can IMO!
Kind of disappointed at how much they show. A lot still to see, but man, some good reveals in the book that are just served up here.
