From the part of the page you didn't quote:

Indianapolis and Raleigh are now scheduled for "later this fall"...

Other than that, there has been no timeframe announced for any individual market and no indication of what order the remaining markets may become available.

This is getting ridiculous...later later later...

OKC has been on the Fall of 2006 list for what seems like forever and I can never find any updates.. calls to Dish simply get canned answers... after losing my distants ( which I am 80 miles from a major city) I'm about to pull the plug on these guys.. Local HD OKC or Tulsa would certainly make me think about staying...

Kinda pisses me off that where I live I qualified for distants and only lost them because of the greed of DishNetwork giving them to anyone that asked...

Been a subscriber for 7 years.. it won't be 8 if they don't get some of this stuff done ASAP....

My guess is that the rest of them might get added sometime next year. Either way I e-mailed Dish to let them know many people would like to see these added so will let folks know the response I get back.

I dont know about what they said last year but I think we will get them sometime soon. Either way not that big of a deal it takes time to where many people think things happen overnight. If folks want their locals in HD that bad can not waite untill Dish adds them then get a OTA. I think we will get them maybe not when we want them.

Actually I survived despite them for 31 years and two expait assignments. But the quest for the current quarter's profits doomed long term vision, planning and actions.

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....

No problem here (in central Europe) with a 10-footer. Do note that 9.4 dB required for the lock.
The mod is DVB-S2 8PSK with FEC 5/6.

Finally! Some big movement in California diesel pricing (and no, there is no such beastie as a diesel "winter formula").

Crude (combined pricing) is around $90/barrel now, so prices should have, at least, fallen in step with the crude futures.

Just curious here.....then why is diesel so much higher out there than it is elsewhere. Bobby just posted $7.59/gal, locally it is $5.59.....that's two bucks difference. :eeek

California has a ~93¢ per gallon consumer tax rate on automotive diesel, along with significantly higher refinement standards.

The fact that consumers can only buy some new full-sized truck models and a couple of vans with diesel power makes the fuel an odd duck in refinery priorities.

4K Events Discussion Thread

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Not seeing many 4k games on the 148 channels lately?

Also I do not see the 4KFox channel on 148-01; I also do not subscribed to our Local Houston channels.

Maybe I need to subscribe to locals or add the National Action Pack? Not sure the extra cost is worth it??

thx for any info or suggestions

Most of the 4K action on the 148-xx channels will be on Saturday for College Football. For whatever reason, the guide does not show the games until later in the week. The Fox Big Noon game will show up, and there will usually be a couple of other games, some on Fox, and some on ESPN.

I don't know if you need to be subscribed to locals to get them.

FDA issues new warning for Ozempic - can cause eye-stroke
