Well this is interesting....
We have Directv Stream here at the apartment compounds with Entertainment package paid by landlord/company and 2 boxes. Anywho there are 2 boxes in the exercise area on the "landlord's" account. Here is something interesting.
one box (top pic) has the Mankato, MN locals which is right (ABC & PBS from Mpls/St Paul and CBS, NBC and FOX from Mankato as we have no ABC or PBS in the market). But the other box has LA locals??? That recently changed. Use to be Mankato locals
Yes they work (and the time shows Central Time Zone). I tried the channels and they work.
Its the same type of account we have (Entertainment and the "high buck" movie channels HBO, Cinemax and Showtime) Not really a question.....more of a "well that is interesting". Hmmm maybe I'll exercise at more specific times to watch programs on the LA stations
(yes I do use the exercise room when the weather is blech to get some walking in)

(Fidium is the provider...part of Consolidated)
I'm in Minnesota, not Illinois. Both boxes are hardwired to the modem. All units in the compound (somewhere around 300 units) have Directv stream and internet included in rent. Hey can't argue with 1G internetyou'll need to talk with your LL. while your in IL i am almost certain the nearest node to your apt is not in LA
(Fidium is the provider...part of Consolidated)
Each box has a setting for "location settings".They are both hardwired to the internet boxso I would say yes

There's also a shortage of IPV4 addresses, so address blocks frequently get reassigned faster than the geoip providers like Maxmind and others can keep up. i.e. About 3 years ago my ISP PenTeleData repurposed a range that used to be for one of their backbone connections at Equinix's Chicago datacenter, so initially the geoip database used by DIRECTV's online grids was defaulting to Chicago's locals instead of Scranton's. And if you have IPV6, depending on how your ISP assigns those addresses, it can be the wild west with no grouping by region.
A lot of public/guest wifi like hotels, airports, gyms and restaraunt chains go through a forced proxy so they can redirect you to their custom portal, agree to their TOS, give you the option to pay for faster speeds, and limit how long each session lasts. So even though the local ISP is supplying the physical connection, to the internet you resolve to whatever datacenter they contracted with.
It doesn't apply to Mr. Tony's case, but some of the cellular and satellite based ISPs including Starlink don't assign IP addresses by region and instead resolve to random datacenters. i.e. Some of the Starlink users on this forum have had IP addresses that resolve to one of Comcast's enterprise facilities in Portland even though they were actually in Texas. Cellular IP addresses don't change as you travel as long as your mobile data connection remains active, so it's rare for their IP addresses to resolve to your actual location.you'll need to talk with your LL. while your in IL i am almost certain the nearest node to your apt is not in LA

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.

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.
I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.
Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

Can't help but wonder if a worker overlooked checking the harness. I rarely ride a roller coaster anymore but when I do I check the harness myself pretty aggressively.
Can't imagine what the son is going through.

It makes sense, however, I would want more types of restraints, so if one doesn't work, the other does ... the restraints coming over the shoulder I would have expected ... with a Seat belt as last resort.
Fwiw, I inquired with what they use on Coasters at Cedar Point, various Coasters, different restraints according to what the car and track requires ...
NONE of the Coasters at CP use THAT particular system
I'm glad to see ...

I bought the fixed color version of these bulbs for my store several years ago...work great and no more replacing ballast. Finally had one go out and when I went back to Amazon I saw that now they come in selectable versions so no more guess work as to what color light would do best in a certain area. They are now double OR single ended...used to be strictly one way or the other. If any of you are looking at replacing the old style 4 or 8 ft bulbs, you might want to give these a try. The 8 footers are BRIGHT. I put 5 in my shooting/target shed and you can get a decent tan if you are in there long enough.
