As I write this the D* forum has 61 participants and the E* forum has 151. And that is pretty par for the course as far as I can tell. Almost every time that I log on the D* forum has less than E* does.
My question is, since D* has several million more subscribers than E*, why is the D* forum less popular at the Satellite Guys Forums?
You would think that since D* has more subscribers that would translate into more forum participants, but apparently it doesn't. Does anyone know why?
Thanks.

Well I believe(since I subbed with E* for 4 years) that I have a pretty good idea what
Charlie Ergen is about.He's an ex poker player that is very good with smoke&mirrors.His latest battle with CourTV you might think he won(because CourTV is now in Top200) but you should wait till on Feb.1,2008 with the next price increase to verify that decision.I use to think that when i was with DISH that
DirecTV was the devil.Well have I got news for you.

They are all evil, my friend; just different flavors.

Funny, I never said Dish or Ergan were angles. Nor did I remark on the moral standards of Direct TV owner and mega media mogul chief, Rupert Murdoch, who has had several former business associates and others who have dealt with him in what was supposed to be a position of trust, go on camera and call him names, including liar. PLEASE! Someone wanted to know why there were so many more people at the Dish area; I offered some reasons. Ironically, I was thinking not the kindest of thoughts about Dish Network when I wrote the response to the question. Look, it does not matter if you, me or anyone else likes it or not, Ergan outlasted all the big-money corporations on the DBS scene in the 90's and made DBS what it is today. It says next to nothing about his ethics or morality, just his business savvy. Just because one may not like the truth doesn't mean it isn't true. In other words, there are a lot of brilliant, supremely intelligent, capable, competent people we may not like, just like there are horrible butchers of history who also possessed desirable human attributes such as great intellect, charisma, connection with his people, and were far from stupid. It seems many people will continue to internalize objectivity. And how many times will Direct TV have changed hands when the latest sell off closes? It would seem to affirm Ergan's superior business savvy. Now, that statement is not cheer leading. That was observation followed by a sound conclusion. If you feel emotional after having read that, then you are internalizing: putting emotions were there were none. I could not care less who is the better or best businessman

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

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....

I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

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.

Many of us have used a universal LNBF mount (or get creative with L brackets and plumbers tape - perforated metal strapping). Use a few inches of aluminum tube (or a piece of 1x2" lumber) to extend the support arm (replacing the plastic mount used by DirecTV and Dish) to place the LNBF throat opening at the correct distance from the reflector, the correct height and at the correct angle. Nothing magical... simply place the new linear LNBF in the center at the same distance, height and angle as the current combo.

To add: 101W Ku seems to be (one of if not the) strongest for me, and if I only had Ku I definitely want 101W for the music mux, it's robust FEC and strong signal help a lot. I've thought about using a used Dish/DirectTV dish at my Dads to supplement his OTA (mainly for my benefit when I visit )
