I received an email around 3:30 EDT from CC that they had them back in stock, but when I went to the website, they were out of stock both locally and on the website.

Same thing happened to me yesteday. Email was received while I was away and by the time I got to the site, they were gone. Thiis morning, I did a check of the CC site even though I had not received new emal notification. They were in stock and AVAILABLE! I just got my confirmation email. Now I have to actually get directv installed. Should be easy to do. There are plenty of cables available from my dishNetwork system :)

I called last night to see about ordering. The sales guy said that there were non in stock in my area,put me on hold, then came back and said that there were non availalble anywhere.

He told me to register and order it so I would get an email when they became available again.

Here you are saying that they were in stock this morning but never got an email and neither did I.


How does CC's email system work?
Is their system only checking for stores within 100 miles of me?
I have used the local pickup option for other purchases so I know which stores near Annapolis it uses.
The really odd thing is that this time it is showing 2 places in Las Vegas,NV and one in Connecticut as my pickup area.

Should their email system be trusted or should just check their website a few times a day?


Thanks,
Joe

Depending on how badly you wanted one, I would check the website as often as possible. I would probably skip the 2 am checks.
I would not trust email for much of anything. When it works, great! But nothing is perfect and there are delays and email that gets lost. Not a lot, but enough to make me check the CC site.
I don't know how the system at CC works. It could be a polling system. Wakes up every hour and checks for available product. Find one, and send a bunch of email. If 20 are added to the system and 20 are sold because people just happen to look at the right time, I would guess that it is possible that no email is sent out. The CC system is not a reservation system. And all polling software will have this type of window of opportunity.
BTW, my HD-Tivo is on its way from Oklahoma. I've also ordered a 4 room system to be installed around the same time. After all is up, I will give dish Network the good news and start shovelling my old equipment on ebay. I should break even after a month or so not counting the HD-Tivo purchase.

Ignore what the website says - just try to buy it anyway.

Thanks for that advise and I 'might' have just gotten one.


I just checked the website and it still shows as unavailable.

2 weeks ago, it said unavialble also but I did the checkout thing anyway because that is how to get on the magic email list. It said 'out of stock' but that I would get an email when in stock. I have yet to receive one and even called the phone number to have a human get me on the email list.


This morning (6:30 EDT) I figured what the heck and tried to order again anyway.


To my surprise, it took and during the checkout processs it said something to the effect that it was available. I missed the exact wording because I typed as fast as I could filling in my billing info:)


I said 'might' in the beginning of this post because:
I have not gotten the email confirmation of the order but the printout I made of the order looks like it took and my on line Master Card statement now shows a temp authorization from CC.

I'll edit this post when I get that confirmation email but I suspect I am all set.


The bottom line: Ignore what the website says as far as in or out of stock and proceed to checkout and try to buy the thing.

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'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
