Read and say NO to SB 4067

Are you upset about the way Dish cut our homes access to distant network? Would you like to have access to distant networks (better mix of shows, better time for viewing or want to be better informed about the world)?

I was about to start calling the world when we lost my distant networks (still had local networks). We started with dish services only for the mix of network options (and paid fees to dish/networks). Dish said to call and support Senate Bill 4067 but they did not have it posted or have a full listing of it's impact on customers. I was floored when I found (hard to do find by the way) and read it.
http://www.theorator.com/bills109/s4067.html

This bill will not allow customers to view more than one network at a time the way I read it. " `(B) NON-LOCAL-INTO-LOCAL MARKETS- A satellite carrier may provide a secondary transmission under subparagraph (A) in a local market (as defined in section 122(j)) in which a satellite carrier does not currently provide, and has not ever provided..." BAD news for us!

We only have one option. Call your Senate and say NO!, NO! to SB 4067. We should be allowed any and all networks (for a fee). After you read the Bill, what do you think?

P.S. Dish now offers remote networks (Only Atlanta or S.F.???) through a firm (Will this service end if SB 4067 passes?). May also need to fight CBS and other networks for any needed waivers.
http://www.callnps.com/distant_networks.htm or 800.909.9677.

Call your Senate at 1-888.267.1127 and say NO to SB 4067.

If a fee is paid to both Dish and the distant network, there is no reason not to be able to receive whatever network we wish. The law needs to be changed to allow this, but it is very unlikely with the power of the NAB. We all could be getting the all the networks in HD

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....

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.

Reactions: AZ.

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.

Agree ... they started doing that a few years ago.

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.
