I don't know what you guys are watching, but I have a 57" HD CRT projection Television, basically last of the line. The picture quality of my CRT is higher than any LCD, DLP or Plasma is going to give you, so if thats what you have, look no futher than your hardware. My picture is excellent. We don't get HD locals, so maybe that's what you are referring to, but the SD channels I would rate maybe an 8, and the HD stuff is all a 10 to me.

I voted for the external storage, as we have to be anal about deleting stuff on our 622, or we start running short of storage.

I would also like to see the ethernet port turned on, but external storage is much more important.

Obviously, I would love HD Locals, because my ABC station is 180 degrees from my NBC, CBS and Fox, and at channel 10 it is VHF which makes it a PITA to get, but HD Locals are evidently not happening any time soon for most of us due to bandwidth issues, so I voted for what seemed feasible.

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say, some folks think Bose is a great stereo system for example....

Unfortunately, the Dish support folks took the same stance as you, and told me my problems must be related to my equipment and wasted almost a year arguing with me rather than diagnosing the problem. In actuality, they couldnt have found a person more anal about properly functioning equipment, hi end cables and proper calibration.

I stick to my guns, my vote for enhancement is to stop cramming so many channels onto thier transponders and send us a less compressed signal - like our freinds at Verizon do for thier Fios customers.

Top 2 on this poll are external storage and add HD RSNs. We got one.

Maybe HD RSNs should be next priority? :what

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

2026-27 NCAA College Football

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.

Honestly, I would rather see an expanded bracketed playoff system than the current Conference Championship Game + playoff model we're using right now. The Conference Championships essentially allow two teams to beat up on each other, and then both typically are going to end up in the playoffs anyway unless it is one of the weaker or smaller conferences. Let them play it out on the field against others.

Until the Big Ten changed thier alignment, (a couple years ago) ... it was not like that at all, the East side won most years the west side represented the Big Ten, but they may have been the team with the 4th best record ...
They finally changed that, to a single conference ... but yes, in most cases, both teams will get in ... now, its a certain both will get in ...

The biggest issue with the Conference Now is the Number of TEAMS .... WAY to Many.
It would take 2-3 YEARS to do a round robin where everyone would play one another ... How do you know how good a team is when teams don't play the same teams ?

I like the move to campus sites for the early games. That adds a fun new dimension for fans, and cuts down on some of the travel expenses that would come with having to follow a team all the way through the playoffs at neutral sites.

That'd be more than the FA Cup! Over 700 teams. It is also the most glorious tournament in the world.

Maybe it is time to get rid of the College Football season and just go to a tournament. 128 teams, fill in the bottom end with the lower division. Random draw (except the top 10 teams are in one bucket to draw from in the first and second rounds to avoid OSU v Alabama in the first round), go from 128 to 8. 4 games. Then the 8 remaining teams play 7 games against each other. Then the top two play for the title.

Actually I survived despite them for 31 years and two expait assignments. But the quest for the current quarter's profits doomed long term vision, planning and actions.
