why doesnt directv accept waiver requests to receive out of market feeds? I live 1000 feet from the philly nyc DMA boundary since my zipcode is philly DMA they will not even let me request waivers to receive nyc feeds. My address is located in both grade b signal of philly and nyc which both can be received OTA. The local cable company carries both philly and most nyc channels and my neighbor has dishtv and his waivers were granted for all nyc feeds. Whats interesting I have been granted access to receive YES and MSG sports channels from NY.
The lobbyists and broadcasters that pushed for these censorship rules through congress are complete idiots. It just amazing how a electronic signal can be controlled to conform to politcal boundries even when your address is within a stations' service area: there was no thought or logic what so ever to secondary markets or adjacent markets or consideration given to the households that border two DMA actually generate revenue in both DMAs when these bills were signed into law...........................................................................

LET me clarify. I somewhat agree if you live hundreds of miles away for a market you should Not have a right to get another markets channels if you are getting locals!
It is CENSORSHIP if you can receive another market's channels if you live within a few miles of a DMA boundary especially when you are within both GRADE B signal coutours and 50% the local residents in a zipcode are generating revenue in both markets because both cities suburbs are 35-45 minutes away. These laws are flawed.
Wondering why Canada is has no laws protecting local revenue as you can watch any market regardless of where you are on cable or satellite.. oops forgot they aren't very uptight on lots of things
and their tv programming reflects it. i miss bellexpressvu already

I'm the first person to say that the laws are absolutely ridiculous. I can get the SD feed of NBC NY (I'm in buffalo) but not the HD feed. As it was pointed out earlier, it is all about the advertising dollars. Censorship? That's a strong word. Remember that canadian media (radio and tv) are partially funded by the government. There is no way I'd want that model!

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....

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.

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.

Yup, I agree, I'd rather be 2 or 3 till the last few weeks.They get cruel sometimes, very very cruel.
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. 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.
