I got caught "moving" today. I called in because I received a bill in the mail for a receiver I didn't order. After I ordered a remote 2 weeks ago (which i forgot about) I "moved" to receive local channels (which i also forgot about). Well when I called to ask about the receiver bill they asked to confirm my sub address and voila they took my locals away I got pissed demanded they change it back she said she couldn't, I asked to speak to a supervisor, told him that he should change it back, he told me he wouldn't, I told him to turn off my service and I wouldn't pay a dime of my disconnect or bill and he said he would turn it over to collections and I told him I wouldn't pay collections either. He told me it would go on my credit I said fine.
Moral of the story don't get caught "moving" Directv will nail you to the cross!!!!

From the web page of the NAB "
The record in this proceeding fully demonstrates that the Commission's rulesgoverning retransmission consent and program exclusivity remain vital to fostering the Commission's goals of competition in the video programming marketplace and broadcast localism, particularly in small and rural markets, as well as necessary to protecting
broadcasters' right to freedom of contract. The free market process Congress established for retransmission consent evinced a clear intent to establish a marketplace for the rights to distribute broadcast signals, but not to dictate the outcome, or terms or conditions included in negotiations over those rights.
Contrary to complaints by various MVPDs, the retransmission consent system established by Congress is not broken. Rather, the system is beginning to work as Congress envisioned because emerging competition from DBS and other alternative MVPDs for the right to carry local broadcast signals has finally created genuine marketplace for retransmission consent rights. In other words, stripped to their essence,
most of the criticisms lodged against retransmission consent are really nothing more than objections to the new realities of competition among in the MVPD marketplace. Viewed in this light, it is apparent that the government intrusion into retransmission consent that the commenting MVPDs seek is neither warranted nor remotely consistent with
Congressional intent. Although the MVPDs allege that retransmission consent has failed to fulfill Congress' aims to fortify the free, over-the-air broadcast system, and to promote competition in the video programming marketplace, their assertions have no basis."
Now tell us Greggie boy --- how long have you been a staffer for the NAB?? hmmmmm

I guess they can rehash how bad the NAB is all they want as they aren't the ones keeping the Network Programming from Distants on out of market systems - so it just avoids the real stumbling block.
And all the is nice, but it doesn't matter when the Network affiliation agreements prohibit a station from signing a contract with a MSO for their network programming outside of the local stations DMA.
Even if the NAB said nothing, it wouldn't mean squat as the network affiliation agreement does not allow it.

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.

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....
