L L Cool J needs to lose weight. He's starting to look like Steven Segal in his later years when he started wearing black to cover up his tummy.

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....

For several years, I received DISH TVLand 106, FETV 82 and ION 250 in HD. In the past year, these channels went from HD to SD. Over several months, I chatted/called DISH 4 times. First time I was told it was a software issue which would be forwarded to their engineering dept for a software update to my receiver. Waited a week and called back. Was told that the software update could take weeks but they were working on it. Third time, I was told their satellite needed to be adjusted. It was expensive to adjust and complicated, so no estimated time given for fix. Fourth time, I was told I was too far away from the eastern arc (I live in N. CA). I asked how that could've of happened after all these years and why I've been given 3 different explanations. He couldn't tell me and wouldn't transfer me to a supervisor. A few days ago I noticed more channels are now in SD. It seems like DISH is going backwards. I'd just like a straight answer and an estimated time for the fix. I can't believe I'm the only one having this problem. I'd hate to pay more for DIRECTV and lose my DVR recordings but it looks like these channels are available in HD on DIRECTV.

With DirectTV and Disney in a dispute this week, does anyone know which contracts might be coming up for DISH this fall that could get tied up in a dispute?

Dish hasn't really had any big disputes that I can remember in a few years now.
I would love to see when they renew the ESPN deal that we get access to ESPN Unlimited like DIRECTV folks do, as I don't feel like paying an additional $29.99 a month just to watch the WWE Pay Per Views.
(But thats just me)

Or whatever ESPN Unlimited has to offer (of course mainly ESPN+ content since you already get the linear stuff.Dish hasn't really had any big disputes that I can remember in a few years now.

My OTA is not working anymore. This started after the latest update. I have the OTA dongle with a OTA antenna that I've been using for years. My hopper does not recognize the dongle anymore and when I go to the OTA setting, it has a screen that says to plug a dongle into the USB. I tried unplugging and plugging back, in the same usb port and other ports. The Hopper does not recognize it. Anyone have same issue?

I'm not judging you, and I definitely appreciate the knowledge you bring to the forum. However, Rick and Brittany have been very helpful over the years also. I don't think you should be calling them out publicly on the forum, especially for something they probably have very little control over. Get a private room for your family squabbles.

The Tinsel Town Theater we just left had Spiderman play in like 7 or 8 theaters, every hour on the hour starting another one. We hit the 12pm movie. We just left the theater and got home. This movie is going to make a ton this weekend alone. They had it in rumble vision and 3-D and normal HD as well as well as XD and Nicer seats too.
I read Tom Holland is looking at a $100 million dollar bonus from his latest Spider Man movie. It has made over $2 billion world wide now. That bonus is on top of the $20 million he wanted up front to play him. The bonus could still go up with the amount they continue to rake in on ticket sales. Not bad for a decade of work playing the character.

Well, Markham has come and gone. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Literally. Friday practice didn't happen because the track wasn't ready yet. 
Saturday was a day full of racing and anxiety. Fox One has been struggling to properly carry things. And drivers were getting used to a new track that had uniqueness and some... well they apparently didn't bring enough jersey barriers or a measuring tape. The hairpin was a bloody mess. Instead of a proper hairpin, it was literally just an end to the jersey barriers. This lead to major issues in the race.
The drivers acclimated to the course, some better than others. Louis Foster, of all people, perfected the lap. Blowing out just about everyone but Palou! Half second, I think. Come qualifying, it was nuts. Dale Coyne drivers were all of a sudden competitive. making the fast 12. JHR did well with Veekay who managed to slot into the Fast Six... again! The fast six included six teams with RLL winning the pole and Dennis Hauger qualifying in the top six. This is awesome!
But then the race started. And what made for great qualifying didn't make for great racing. Passing was extremely hard. Lundgaard had a slow start and that screwed over Veekay as he couldn't get by Hauger who would be losing close to a second a lap, and because they are all driving to the same fuel numbers, there is not enough speed differential, and Veekay is stuck. JHR make a bad decision to pit Veekay, so he isn't stuck behind Hauger... but the pit lane is short, they get him out in 6.6 seconds... and now he is stuck behind other cars. BLEEP!!! His race is boned. No way to get around that now. Foster was having a much better than expected race. His practice/qualifying performance was unexpectedly happening in the race. Even after the first pit stop, he came out looking good.
Then after the first yellow, Indycar started the demolition derby part of the race. A lot of it at the hairpin where there were multiple lines, but really only one exit. Cars were backing up, trying not to stall and there was lots of contact. It started looking dumb. Much more yellow than green. Foster's race would end in a pass on Ericsson in a hard hit straight into the wall. Then... about 35 laps remaining, there is a yellow. Everyone pits, except for Andretti, as they can make the finish one that last stop, with enough fuel save. The entire world slapped its forehead at the obvious stupidity of Andretti of not pitting Ericsson who was leading and Power. That was totally going to bite them in the end.
Grosjean inherits the lead after Ericsson went on a time trial and gave himself a 17 or 18 second lead on Grosjean before pitting. The race has calmed down... as everyone but Will Power and Marcus Ericsson are in fuel save mode. Grosjean is safely ahead, but then something weird happens. The Andretti cars aren't in fuel save mode, and are driver 0.5+ second faster laps. With the very short pit lane, the drop from pitting under green isn't that bad. Ericsson races forward, passing cars that are sipping fuel, and even Grosjean has to give up his spot.
The idiots in charge of Andretti turn out to the ones capable of doing math and get the race win and a third on the podium as well. Grosjean finishes in second, repeating Veekay's performance in Greater Toronto last year, that too on the alternate fuel strategy. Thanks to the demolition derby portion of the race, Veekay was able to manage a 7th place finish despite the extended fuel save (he was in 5th) and having nose cone damage from making contact on Palou's car in the hairpin.
Kirkwood crashed out, so the Championship race is a tight one for second. Palou has it all but wrapped up now with another top 5 to his credit.
