I didn't see that, though I missed the first few minutes of the game - came home when it was already in progress.

I see Mallorca & Cadiz were delegated and read somewhere that Sevilla captured the UFEA cup (I think).
Yup! Sevilla is the UEFA Cup Winner!
And the final match of the Champions League will be on Wednesday: Barselona-Arsenal. It will be televised live on ESPN2-HD (at 2:30pm ET)! Should be a good one!

Just starting watching the match... I saw something very funny in the begining the FSN WEST Bay area HD feed. I do not know if anyone saw it. The signals crossed path... I guess.
Hi Sean, yes, I recorded the game and saw a quick shot of the Bay Bridge and AT&T Park with FSN bug on it. The game was carried in HD on FSN Bay Area here in San Francisco.

Just serves to remind me how frustrated I am that the cable companies lock out the satellite providers from RSN HD broadcasts. Glad the guys in the Voom control room get to see all the games in HD, though... :rolleyes:

From Paul:

Well 48 hours later than usual and looking forward to a holiday...which won't happen. The final piece of the season..

...OK so the season is just about over in that everything has been decided. Malaga, Cadiz and Alaves went down. Alaves in the most painful way as Espanyol scored a last minute goal to save themselves. Everyone will miss Cadiz, who has some of the best fans around (they get behind their teams, yet make their opponents feel welcome at the same time) - we all hope to see them back soon.

Personally I won't miss Malaga, who year after year has sold their best players, so sooner or later it had to happen. As for Alaves, well, their president changed coaches like the wind and basically paid for being a dictator. A shame for their fans, but it is always painful going down.

Barca ran away with the title and Real Madrid has finished second. However, it says a lot that they confirmed their second place after losing 4-3 to Sevilla and only because Valencia lost 2-1 to Osasuna in their last game.

The Sevilla - Madrid game was amazing, 0-2 down after 25 minutes, Sevilla scored four in 17 minutes to go 4-2 up at the break.

Sadly the score in Pamplona (where Osasuna went 2-0 up against Valencia) conditioned the second 45, but it makes it clear that whoever takes over at Madrid (what bets they have interests in the construction industry???) has a lot of work to do.

Congrats to Osasuna, who finish 4th and have a Champions League play-off, but I fear that without Aguirre, who for some bizarre reason is joining Atletico Madrid next season, may be hard for them.

However now is probably a good time for a few personal awards:

Best outfield player: Ronaldinho
Best goalkeeper: Casillas
Best coaches: Aguirre, Rijkaard and Javier Clemente
Best ground: Camp Nou
Best game: Real Madrid 0 - Barca 3
Best youngster: Messi (Barca) Ustatriz (Athletic Bilbao)
​
I'm sure there are more, but they will have to wait...until next year,
cheers PAUL

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 know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

Even if you are broadcasting old SD-only shows, I would think advertisers would still want their commercials to look good.

Advertisers on SD channels are probably Far and Few, very hard to find, they have very few viewers to watch them.

I watch mostly SD channels (H&I, Start and ION, etc.). There are plenty of advertisers, this time of the year it is mostly Medicare Advantage plans, auto extended warranties and the occasional walk-in-tub. They know who is watching.

Why didn't Charlie end up launching starlink
Because he didn't have a fleet of reusable rockets. Starlink works because SpaceX is able to launch hundreds (thousands?) of their Starlink satellites for what a single geostationary Internet satellite costs to build and launch on a disposable launcher.

But how is it reusable if it's disposable

He does not have the resources aka $$$ compared to Elon Musk as in reality, Elon can eat Charlie for lunch or even mop the floor with Charlie if he wanted to.

Also watched part 2 about a week or so ago after rewatching part 1. It's not as faithful to the book as I was hoping for. Part 1 stayed fairly faithful to the novel, but part 2 took some liberties that I felt were rather excessively non-novel. It looks like a prequel series will happen before part 3. My issue is: there's no prequel that was written as a novel, so what will it be pulled from? Or will it just be "based loosely" on the novel?

There is a bunch of other Dune written by Kevin J Anderson and Brian Herbert (Franks son). I think the series in production is taken from one of their books about the Bene Gesserit.

Correct. I've read all of them (yes, it took awhile, better part of a year, in my spare time). And they can't really consider or classify a series about the Bene Gesserit as a prequel. Sure, I suppose they can call it that, if they want to, because it begins before the time of Paul Atredies, but it's still a stretch. It's a Dune-related novel, not a prequel as we generally think of prequels...

Well, it looks good! I just hope they stayed close to the trilogy, but it doesn't look like it.
