SHORT VERSION: I have a 2-dish setup. How do I get the R15 to tune in locals?
LONG VERSION: I made the move from Dish this week. I ordered two R15's and planned to use an ex-roommates UltimateTV receiver as my third receiver. I even went as far as to have DirecTV send me the access card for the UltimateTV receiver so it was waiting on the installer when he got there.
The installer mounted two round dishes on my roof, saying that was necessary to pick up the locals in my market (Fayetteville/Fort Smith). He came inside when he was finished and asked where the two receivers were going. I showed him and also said that we were using the UltimateTV as the third receiver. He said that was a problem because his work order only called for two receivers and a 4x4 switch. He ended up running two lines to the living room, one to the bed room, and one to the office so I could at least get TV in all three rooms. After a VERY frustrating hour on the phone with several people, I finally convinced them to come out next week with a bigger switch at no charge (a whole 'nother story!).
I was not able to tune in local channels on the UltimateTV, and it was explained to me over the phone (not when I ordered the card or course) that it was because of my two-dish setup and the fact this was an old receiver. I accepted that and decided to add a 3rd R15, so I went to Wal-Mart and picked one up. I came home last night, hooked it up, and called to activate, all which went without a hitch. The problem is that on the 3rd R15 I could not get locals, just a black screen on those channels. I noticed the installer had used 22222 as the ZIP code on the other two receivers and I thought that might have something to do with my problem so I tried that - no luck. I went through the entire setup process on the living room receiver to see if I was missing something and now that receiver doesn't get the locals either! The only R15 I haven't touched is still working just fine. Now, how do I make the other two receivers tune in the locals?
Thanks!

Ok, I'm bored .... actually - to be more precise - I'm bored of eating the same rotation of 9 or 10 meals that are currently my "go-to" meals. My wife works the long hours - I work from home as and when i feel like it ... which means i generally do most of the cooking ... and so by default - i also make out the shopping list ...
We cook at home 5 or even 6 nights a week - but we always seem to fall back on the same old tried and tested "quick and easy but tastes ok" meals. Week in week out.
Pot Roast - mash and Peas.
Spaghetti
Chicken Pasta in cheese sauce.
Curry & rice
(these are some of mine)
Now it's not that I'm not adventurous in the kitchen ... I'll try anything once or twice ... but we all do it. Unless your name is Martha Stewart or Rachel Ray .. we all eventually fall back on our 8-10 favorite "meals"
So i thought - if we shared some of our own go-to meals with each other ... we might be able to add a few "new" ones to our own arsenal of meals.
So again - I ask you ...
What's for dinner tonight ?
Please give me something new to add to my rotation ... its our weekly shop tomorrow - so i want to pull together a few idea's and try and eat a meal each day next week that I've never had before .. or at least something that is not on my current "go-to" meal plan.
What meal do you always seem to fall back on in your house ? Maybe its something that I've never tried or not had in a while. I need inspiration !! I've got a blank shopping list in front of me - and nothing sounds good .. HELP !

Smoked some salmon on the grill while enjoying some Blue Moon beer. Kinda cool tonight so I fired up the heaters. Here in FL, we fire up heaters once the temps get below 60 
As for the salmon, I seared them first, then flipped them off to the side not over the coals and brushed on some lemon pepper marinade followed by some salmon seasoning. Threw some hickory chips on the coals and then closed the vents to about 10% airflow. Yum.

Cutting Edge
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....

Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes.
