She was on Days of Our Lives for years playing Marlena and she was possessed by the Devil for a long time on the show. :biggrin

The writing was quite awful on that one. We've got these astronomy geniuses not grabbing the whole fifth planet thing. I think it would have been a much better episode (series of episodes) had they been stuck there for a while.

Glad you said that. I would have confused her for Gates McFadden.

Soap Opera Legend, can't believe she's 78.

She's been on Days of our Lives for 50 years. Mom used to record it to VHS all week and watch it a day or two later. It went digital only and forced her to learn how to use streaming apps.

Yeah... Her levitating off the bed was a bridge too far for me as a kid lol.

WiFi Device Connection to Router Question

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?

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.

WOW, what a nightmare. Recteq WIFi folks said same thing that guest network security might be a bit different.

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.

My favorite was when you could subscribe to the east and west network feeds for $4.99 each. iirc, with the superstations package it was $12.99 for all 3. Coming from cable that was really cool.

They keep moving good channels off the satellite and tell you to stream instead. They should move Stern to streaming. I never cared for the guy. Opie and Anthony were far better as was Don Imus IMO.

Over 23 years now and we still subscribe to SiriusXM and still get a discounted rate every 5-6 months. I still don't have a credit card on file and am happy to pay the $2 invoice fee to not keep a card on file. We would't have started with SiriusXM that long ago had it not been for SatelliteGuys. I bought my first Sirius receiver when someone here offered them for sale. JVC KT-SR1000

I still have my original Sirius boom box with associated car dock from 2003, before satellite radio receivers became pretty much standard in all new cars. It still shows on my account as being inactive but still receives all the channels. The receiver has been largely dormant all these years and hasn't received a deactivation hit yet. I bust it out every once and a while to see if its still working. The phone app and bluetooth speakers basically made it obsolete.

I just recently brought my old Delphi Skyfi from 2002 to e-waste. I would take it out during the FREE activation events to reminisce. The last time I tried it the radio wouldn't work any more.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....
