So I am understanding correctly, for those subscribers, like me, with international packages (i.e. Panorama Italiano) this channel will be available as part of the package? If yes what channel is Euronews coming in?

I found the answer.... Here is the link from Dishnetwork site:

This is ridiculous because, according to the link, I won't be getting it even though I pay $50/mo in international programming (Greek pack & TV5). I'll be very upset if I don't have this channel tomorrow.

Speaking of the Greek pack, E* very quietly dropped MEGA (it moved to D*), which was probably the 2nd best greek channel available. Another channel is rumored to move to D* in the near future. Not very happy in the way this was handled.

When was that ??

News is automatically propaganda.

6.6 Billion People are awake and do things for 16 hours every day, that's about 100 Billion hours of activity. News condenses that to 22 minutes !

That is impossible to do without a bias, because there is no objective criteria. What is important depends on the point of view of the individual.

Sorry, but that doesn't make any sense. You're also contradicting the very point you're trying to make. Yes, it /is/ possible to report objectively without editorializing and slanting although, I'll grant you, not 100% of the time.

This happened with Russian Channel 1 last year, just went to D* with no warning. It is the #1 Russian channel...poof! it was just gone...

Simply reporting facts, corroborating as many sources as possible, without a political or personal bias, editorializing or sensualizing.

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....

No problem here (in central Europe) with a 10-footer. Do note that 9.4 dB required for the lock.
The mod is DVB-S2 8PSK with FEC 5/6.

Finally! Some big movement in California diesel pricing (and no, there is no such beastie as a diesel "winter formula").

Crude (combined pricing) is around $90/barrel now, so prices should have, at least, fallen in step with the crude futures.

Just curious here.....then why is diesel so much higher out there than it is elsewhere. Bobby just posted $7.59/gal, locally it is $5.59.....that's two bucks difference. :eeek

California has a ~93¢ per gallon consumer tax rate on automotive diesel, along with significantly higher refinement standards.

The fact that consumers can only buy some new full-sized truck models and a couple of vans with diesel power makes the fuel an odd duck in refinery priorities.

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Not seeing many 4k games on the 148 channels lately?

Also I do not see the 4KFox channel on 148-01; I also do not subscribed to our Local Houston channels.

Maybe I need to subscribe to locals or add the National Action Pack? Not sure the extra cost is worth it??

thx for any info or suggestions

Most of the 4K action on the 148-xx channels will be on Saturday for College Football. For whatever reason, the guide does not show the games until later in the week. The Fox Big Noon game will show up, and there will usually be a couple of other games, some on Fox, and some on ESPN.

I don't know if you need to be subscribed to locals to get them.
