So you don't have to pay for the vpn. Do this to get localbtv. Download the install the Windscribe vpn/proxy extention for chrome. Is easiest to turn off and on.
Click on the extention icon and pick east coast,central or west coast. And pick one of the free cities that localbtv has. I pick NY since live on the east coast and they have a free city there. Now for the free version you only get 1000 mbs. But will tell you how to get around that for btv. Next go to localbtv and register with the city. I picked NY and I put in the zipcode for NY. Then put in my email and registered. After you are registered it don't matter it seems if live in a different state. When I look at my profile now when using it it still shows my state and ip and they are not NY. But don't do any of that yet. OK now that you have your vpn on and are registered for localbtv for city you used go to the guide and to the station you want to watch and pick it. Let it load up and is playing. Now to get around that 1000 mgs you have so your not using much of it.
Go up to the windscribe vpn icon and open it then click on the big round button to turn the vpn off. Your station will keep playing and you won't use any of the 1000 mgs. It shows in the vpn where your at on mbs.
When you are ready to go to another station in localbtv like from cozi to rewind first go back up to you windscribe icon open it and push the big round button again to turn it back on. Then go to the guide and pick the next station like I did went from cozi to rewind and pick watch live and let that station you picked load up and start playing and then go back up to the windscribe icon, open and click on the big round button again to turn it back off again. Doing it this way and you won't use much of the 1000 mgs you get free. Just don't forget to turn it off and on for each channel change. Yes is an extra little step there but you won't have to pay for a vpn/proxy.
Also once you sign up and go to a station like antenna tv save the bookmark in chrome and name it like NYbtv. That way it don't matter what channel you shut it down on even if its a different channel like cozi when you click on the bookmark it will open on the station you closed down on.
Just don't forget to turn on the vpn before you click on the bookmark so the channel starts running when you open it then you can turn off the vpn once the channel loads. Hope this will help some that want localbtv to run from another state once it is registered. (shame you can put a vpn in roku) but at least you can run it in your browsers with vpn.
P.S. Might be wrong about the saving on the bytes but thats the way it seems to be working for me.

HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
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....

Several Dish offers showed up today in my account. Once you choose one the rest are removed. Offers were Showtime, Starz, AMC and others.

Not for me, mines has no mention of how long aka the offer period and the Terms and conditions the $0.00 is good for. All I see is one can lose $5.00 if you decide to remove it before day 31 after you add it to the account.

I created this thread on the original Edgecutter Cutting Edge Forums site. It's simply a place for those to review the latest software available for those using Windows 10 and Windows 11. To date it has received 112,559 views. I have been asked by staff to continue this thread here.

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.
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.

Help, I'm a little confjused on the activation process.
I purchased the Joey 4 from Solid Signal and shipping box has Call 866 726-4282 to Avtivate new Receiver. That number is Solid Signals number.
I googled and that search said call Dish to activate. I assume that is correct unless this requires a 2 step process.
Please let me know.
Thanks

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…

The new curated multiview is now live.
While on many of the sports channels and non sports channels there is a multi view option button. It will pull up a side bar with many different multi view options.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

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.
