Are there usually off season specials on purchasing next year's Sunday Ticket? Best time to buy?

Does Superfan just add the 8x PIP channel and game recaps? It doesn't give additional HD games or anything does it?

You can get the Ticket on an 11 pay option, here's the link:

As far as the NFLST HD channels go I am assuming at this point that you would need to have the Super Fan package and the HD enabling fee.

To me it sounds like the enabling fee gives you access to any HD included in your programming package. The only fault (OK probably not the only fault) with this logic is that you would also get HDNET, HD Movies, Universial and Disc HD Theater, which technically aren't in any programming package.

Darrell S,
As of right NOW, you need the SF in order to get the NFL in HD (in the ST package).

Now, I think, ChrisClearman is talking about for next year when the new packages are in effect ....

Chris, I think and hope you are correct, I thought about that immediatly after reading that part of the description as well.
It does state that if you have an HD receiver and pay for a channel that does have HD channels you WILL get them in HD.
Os yesI do expect that the SF will fall into that statement as well, therefore doing away with the SF.
I have been expecting them to do away with the addl. fees for the HD portion of the ST for a few years now. Don't worry, I am sure the ST price will go up some to compensate for that.

But yes thats how I read that info also.

Chris, generally there is a early cheaper price for the ST, it should be out soon, D* has also made a 11 month option for subs also that spreads it out over the calender year.
Also you can just wait and it will do an auto renew with the cheapest available price for the year. See you get charged for it regardless, unless youcall to cancel it.

Jimbo
Chris,
Here's the statement I found and it does point out that SF will be included in the HD fee that is part of the new package.

New customers activating HD equipment on or after February 6, regardless of the programming they
choose, will pay for access to DIRECTV® HD technology at a flat fee of $10.99 per month (i.e., the "HD
Access Fee"). This fee will be required anytime a leased HD receiver is activated on a customer's account.
The customer receives access to our HD technology so they can enjoy HD transmissions of programming
within their programming packages -- for example, if a customer has the NFL SUNDAY TICKET™ SuperFan™
package, he/she will get the HD games included in that package


So, that means if you paid $100 and divided that up into 12 monthly payments, that comes to about $ 8 p/m and that should cover more than the difference in the price increase with the new packages.

Jimbo

So that says that you need to purchase Superfan still, not just the Sunday Ticket.

Hmmmm.

Hmmm, your right, I read it wrong for the second time ......
It does look like you will have a SF as well....
I guess we will find out more later in the year.

I'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

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....

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.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.

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.
