I had DISH network in 2002-2003 for a while. Liked it but cancelled it due to money issues. I now have Time Warner digital cable, with RoadRunner high-speed internet.
I don't care for Time Warner and want my DISH back. However, I refuse to go with dial-up and DSL is not available in my area, because I am too far from the "center" or what-cha-call it (23,000 feet away.)
So I either keep RoadRunner and go to DISH, which is only a net savings of a few bucks, or find an alternative, but that's another subject.
While I'm on it, are there wireless internet providers out there not geared towards the laptop/cafe/airport model? Like a home wireless internet?
Secondly, to the subject at hand, some DISH questions:
-I have no landline phone. If I have to get one, it negates any money I save from cable. Is that still an issue where they charge an extra $5.99 or whatever if you don't have one?
-Will DISH lease me a 622 reciever if I don't yet have an HD TV and will not start with a high-def package? Reason being twofold-first, there are a couple digital OTA subchannels in my area I watch (The Tube and a couple of the local PBS subchannels, plus a station out of market/DMA I can get) and want to be able to recieve them (right now I watch them on my PC's HD tuner card with an OTA antenna.) Second, I will probably buy an HDTV sometime next spring and then would just make the phone call and upgrade to high-def service.

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.

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.
The Charter/Spectrum tv app has been updated to make it downloaded with more tv brands. I recently added it to my LG Oled tv.

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.

Now after reading this story I walked away thinking that this is being blown out of proportion because of the incredibly low numbers of those affected.....BUT....I've read posts by some of you who are taking this drug so I figured it was worth posting.
