Loved this episode. Not only had time travel, but they were instrumental in the death of the dinosaur and an explosion that takes out the 5th planet that is now the asteroid belt and lead to the orbit of Mars moving further out away from the sun, sealing its fate as a dead planet in our time. So the Enterprise was always supposed to go back 65 million years. So much for the prime directive in this situation. :cool:

The bend-your-brain part was the not only was the Enterprise always supposed to go back 65m years, but that it always had.

My pellet grill WiFi (2.4 & 5G) will only connect to my router by using guest mode. My router is a two-year old TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro 3 pack mesh. This is the first issue I've had with this router. Pellet grill company says it must be something in my router blocking the normal connection. No one else is having this issue. Does anyone have a clue what setting in my router could be blocking the signal to my router the normal way but yet the guest mode works?

Is it possible that your 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi password is using characters that the pellet grill Wi-Fi doesn't support?

I don't think so. The grill just says it can't connect to router and the Recteq WiFi folks didn't mention any possible password issues.

Wifi stuff can be so persnickety. For example, I have a tablet that I use only for viewing my outdoor cameras. Today, one of the cameras was not showing up. I diagnosed for about an hour, resetting the router, the tablet, and the camera, etc. I finally realized that for some reason the tablet had connected to the router at 2.4 ghz. It usually connects at 5 ghz., the preferred.

So, I reconnected it at 5 ghz and the troublesome camera showed up. I have no idea why. The camera itself is only capable of 2.4 ghz., not that it should matter.

I had a similar issue with a Traeger PRO 780.
I had to add a 2.4 GHZ only SSID to my Ruckus system.
Once I did that, it worked fine.

I tried that. Turned off 5G in my router and still wouldn't connect.

Yes... seems odd that it requires a "guest" network.
Perhaps the WPA/Security is a bit different on a guest network.

I actually had a similar odd problem with 3 of my LG appliances.
After working for a couple of years, suddenly none of them would connect.
I tried all of the various suggestions... 2.4Ghz only, no special characters in the password, etc..

I ended up having to delete the app from my phone, re-adding it, and then deleting all of the appliance profiles from the app and installing them as new.
Once I did all of that, they reconnected fine.

Maybe Cable companies should rethink their strategy to attract new customers and to keep them. The old plan of announcing new fees for things you never had before after you subscribe and hiking the price every 6 months to a year is not working. Or they could continue to circle down the drain till they go under. At this point I don't really care as long as there is competition that can provide you with their services at lower prices. :smug

A skinny bundle with minimal fees would probably get them a few more years, but the corporate conglomerates that own the networks won't allow it. They're going to milk every penny out of 3 FXs, 6 MTVs, 7 ESPNs...all playing content available on Pluto.

No, but the vast majority of content on Cable Channels, which is reruns, is on there, Tubi, Roku Channel, etc.

Which always makes me wonder, why people pay that average $140 a month to Satellite/Cable Providers.

When they can get the new programming that is on Network/Cable Channels, along with so much more new content (both scripted and sports), at a much reduced price on the streaming services, compared to Live TV Providers, along with the better video/sound quality.

Then use services like Pluto if they crave reruns, which are both live and on-demand.

As I've posted before here, the only thing left is local news and a few random events. I'd really like a locals-only streaming package. I'd be willing to pay $20/month for that.

Wonder why DISH doesn't do that anymore. I remember they used to provide locals by themselves and then they added an $5.00 access fee to that. But back then it was like $9.00 for everything. Then they came out with the Welcome pack and did away with the locals only pack. I think that was in the early 2000s because I got my Aunt to take satellite TV for just locals, since she can't get them in her area due to a mountain. But that was over 25 years ago.

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....

Just happened to me earlier this week. Only popped up when clicking on "forums" tab. Otherwise could navigate site by going back, refreshing, searching, etc. I posted about it in the "site is slow" thread. Thought it might have something to do with cookies, but just specifically a cache clear fixed it.

You got that same radio station screen- wonder what's up with that.

Interesting that the 404 page has different songs playing, leading me to believe the 404 page is actually the one from WION Radio:
IMG_0956.webp

That's what I got when I tried accessing i1430(.)com(/)satelliteguys(/)

Scott, do you or anyone else on the forum listen to WION I1430 Stereo AM? Maybe it got tagged in a CCS or other site file? Seems bizarre that two Edge users from different parts of the country would have cache issues to the same live page.

Yay, Microsoft…

I'll check it out tomorrow on my end too. I'm in the same boat you are- my antenna setup has had issues since Helene. I'd love to do what you describe- put up two antennas pointed at Charlotte & GSP and mesh them together with a Televes Avant or Smartkom to get all the channels but don't like heights myself.

KOAT is now running a test feed on 7.9 (with an ID of "7.4 TEST")

VBR. I've seen it peak as high as 10mbps.

Current programming is a duplicate of the main ABC .1 feed.

I noted it's sending in 720p on 7.9 when I dialed in manually on my old Sony TV showing simulcast of main ABC from 7.1 with showing KOAT 7 and RT. 66 icon.😎

Couple issues since Hopper 3 H708 update. Sometimes when I select watch to view a recording in my H3+ Plus, the Hopper goes to live TV mode. On second attempt recording playback works OK. Haven't notice that issue in my Joey 4s. Also, my J4s and WJ4s remote control names keep disappearing. Re-entered the remote control names several times but they disappear the next day. No issue with the Hopper 3 Plus remote control names. Anyone else having these issues?

Yes, I've had some issues lately. On many programs I will start out live, then pause for about 15 minutes while I do other things around the house. I will then return to the program by pressing play, then when commercials come on I press the 30 second forward button 6 to 8 times and then return to the program. Last night when I hit play after pausing, the program went into live mode. When I pressed the back button I could see everything that was recorded; however, when I stopped the back button it went back to live TV. I tired several times to no avail.
