You subscribe to the NFL Sunday Ticket. You subscribe to D* HD package on a monthly basis.

Now, D* comes out with another spin off of the Sunday Ticket. Superfan.

How are they marketing this you ask ? Well, there biggest plug seems to be that you get more games in HD with Superfan. You can only access the HD games on the NFL Sunday Ticket with Superfan.

Isnt that double billing ? I paid for the NFL Sunday Ticket already. 249.00 . I pay a monthly fee for HD programming. Now, they want me to pay another 99.00 for superfan ?

How is this not part of the plan I paid for ? Sunday Ticket isnt cheap my friends.

B.S. move by D* if you ask me. Yes, I realize there are other features with Superfan. So sell those features and leave the HD programming of games to subscribers of the NFL Sunday Ticket, and HD programming.

Its pretty easy.

Last year I got a letter from D* saying that since I paid for Superfan in 2005 and not all of the features were available on my receivers that they would give me a $99 credit for superfan in 2006. I got billed the $99 in August, so I called and told them about the letter and they told me I would get a credit for $99 in September. Beer money for the games this year!:) :D :hatsoff: :flag:

Hehe they did the same thing to me, told me I was getting a $99 credit for SuperFan for the same reason. But the billing cycle came around and I got charged $99 but did not get the credit. Called D* told them the situation and they said "stange you shoulda gotten your credit" and supposdly credited my account.

2 Weeks later still no credit..... called again and explained it again and BOOM a $99+tax credit on my account. Now this is where it gets sweet for me, today I logged onto my Account and there is now another $99 credit :) About time somthing went my way for once!!!!

So for this year

1. ST: $209
2. STSF:$99
3. Credit: $99.00
3. Credit: $99.00

NFLST+Superfan for $109 plus tax Priceless

So you were supposed to get one credit and instead got two? Maybe sweet for you, but it costs everyone else. I don't think it's honest on your part, either.

Well I was supposed to get one credit and they didn't even give me that without bothering them. I had to call a grand total of 3 times (got hung up on once) to even get them to credit me what they promised in the first place correctly.

Then the fact they credited me a second time 2 weeks after that is their mistake. I'm not going to call and point it out.

I spend $140 a month with them along with $209 for Sunday Ticket and $149 for NHL Center Ice and also am not one of those people to call in and get freebies like 6mos of free this or $99 courtrsy credits so IMHO its not hurting anyone. Trust me when I say that breakage is figured into their operating costs so it doesnt hurt anyone.

NFL Sunday Ticket - SuperFan - Double billing...

I've been on hold for over 30 mins...I received the letter last season that said SuperFan would be "free" this year...They billed me the $99 in August...they only credited me $49 in September...Now I'm looking at what is due to be billed in a week and they're charging me ANOTHER $99 for SuperFan...Now I'll be asking for a $149 credit IMMEDIATELY to my credit card...

Its amazing to me that they expect people to just shrug off overbilling/undercrediting back charges and wait month-to-month for it to be corrected.

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.
