I would imagine they have to get ready for the HDTivo's coming out in 1Q04. I don't see in that ad where it say's $99. It say's:

Which meens you get $100 and a standard receiver,so that would meen that the Directivo would be between $150 and $200.

I posted not that long ago that this would be a good idea and now its already a reality. I wonder if Dish Network will follow through with a similar promotion as well, or will they seeing that their DVR is free anyways?

In fact, if you're sure you want the Tivo, I don't see big advantage in this promotion. New subscribers can purchase Tivo systems for less than $100, and existing ones can take advantage of the FFDVR code that gives you a Tivo for $99 + s/h. For example, my package was a 3-LNB antenna + 1 Tivo + 1 Director for around $80 with free shipping after rebate, and then I bought an extra Tivo with the FFDVR code. Can't beat this, considering that Tivos are better IMO than Dish's because they have 2 tuners instead of 1 (ok, granted Dish has a 2-tuner unit, but at $500 would you buy it?). This was the very best deal I found around for new subscriber for a Directv Tivo system. If you're considering Directv and are interested, PM me and I'd be glad to give you the link from where I bought.

I am considering Direct Tv or staying with E* and buying a 921. I have a dish on the roof of my motorhome that I live in. From the Forum info I am leaning toward the 4 tuner HD with Tivo versus the 921. Scott, would that be my best choice since Direct Tv's Top receiver seems to have less bugs and more features.

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....

I'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

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.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

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.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

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.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

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.
