What about DISH network?
Posted By: OP on 2007-07-10
In Reply to: Yes. I know of 9 people who have dropped them - because of poor service.
We are not worried about the TV aspect as we do not own a TV! This would be strictly for the internet service.

Dish Network versus Direct TV. Need advice..sm
I am trying to decide between Dish or Direct TV and would like to hear from those who have (or have had) either as to which system is better. I have done research on the web but would like opinions from users as far as reliability, service, channel selection, cost, if you can split a receiver between different rooms or need a receiver for each television in order to watch a different channel, etc. Any opinion is appreciated! Thanks.
What network? It comes on @ 11 p.m. Friday on USA network where I live. - nm
We just got Dish (sm)
We just got Dish about 2-3 weeks ago, switched from cable T.V. They had a terrific special going. With ours, we have 4 TVs hooked up to it, two boxes with one TV going off of it. The one in our LR has the DVR, which allows us to record, I'm not fully sure of how this works yet, it's pretty nice. The bedroom TV runs from the box in the LR. We have another TV in the basement, which the kitchen TV runs off of without a box. E-mail me if you want more information, I have a number you can call and they offered free stuff. From the research I did before ordering this, you get more for your money than DirectTV. The salesperson at Radio Shack also stated he felt Dish was better than Direct. Maybe someone else here can give their opionion since there is one for Dish and one for Direct now. My bill is approx $45 a month for 10 months, then approx $55, we have a special of a movie channel for 3 months free, along with the DVR and 4 TVs. I'm happy!
Side Dish
Any suggestions for a side dish to go with spinach lasagna?
Wow, you have a lot covered in that dish. How about
cottage cheese. Bread of course.
want to try a new dish-chicken marsala-sm
and need to know if heavy cream is the same as heavy whipping cream which I saw at the store and what is dry marsala--a wine? Had this dish at an Italian restaurant recently and it was so good!!
Wonderful low-fat main dish
Here is one that I have used for years and it is wonderful. It does not sound too great, but in the end, it is melt in your mouth good.
2 lb. pork tenderloin roast
1/4 tsp. of each of these spices: marjoram, tyme, garlic salt, onion powder.
1/2 tsp. rubbed sage
1 tbs. worcesteshire sauce
2 tbs. soy sauce.
Mix all spices and sauces together. Pierce roast in several places and put in bowl with marinade. Put in fridge for at least 2 hours, turning roast to keep covered.
Place roast in oven safe dish with marinade and bake at 325 degrees until done. Check with meat thermometer. This is a great low-cal, low-fat dish.
We just switched from Dish to Directv - sm
Dish is slightly cheaper, but we switched for the following reasons; Dish took away our FOX NY channel in November because of some law passed in congress recently (we watch Nascar) which we were paying extra for (we are in VA), we cannot get local channels with Dish unless we upgraded dishs and cut down about 5 trees. I thought it was insane to spend $400+ in order to be able to get local channels. We had them out here a couple years ago to evaluate the tree situation, that was their answer. So we have just been without the locals as they do not come in very well with the antenna. So all our neighbors here have Directv without any problems or cutting down trees, and all with the local channels ($4.99 a month). We have FOX again (local though, DH liked having NY FOX because of the football games). I also did the additional room box, another $4.99 a month which we had not done since living in MD, and it is a nice benefit to have with the kids, DH can watch his football and if a show is on that the kids wanted to watch they can without a bunch of fuss. That doesn't happen too often but it is nice to have that option. I am receiving a $5 rebate for switching right now, plus will be getting an additional $10 off for 10 months once my rebate kicks in, so right now it is $56 a month, but that will jump to $61 when all is said and done. We have the basic pkg and HBO. I liked the guide and ability to scroll the channels better with Dish. But the Directv remote seems much sturdier (plus they replace them free of charge), with Dish we had to pay for any replacements at $70 a pop, we went through a remote every 2 years or so, the last time I said forget this and bought a universal remote for $10, still works great. If trees are not an issue with you then either will work fine, Dish is slighty cheaper but you own the equipment, you buy it. They just lost another channel of mine though that was one of my favories, Court TV, Directv has it though so I am happy. Directv you lease the equipment, hence the free replacements. I think if you only get 1 unit then there is no charge, but with 2 units then it is $5 a month plus the free replacements, etc. We bought our Dish Network dish for $400 with a rebate, so I think we paid $100 for it in the end, have no idea how they do it now though. Happy hunting!
Direct versus Dish.
I actually prefer Direct TV over Dish. My sister-in-law had dish and there was no rhyme or reason to the program guide. I don't have favorites set up, so I can't really help there. I also don't listen to the music channels but I have a house stereo. Anyway, I have had no problems with getting my remote to work. I can actually sit in my recliner, which puts me at an angle to the receiver, and I can easily change channels without having to move. I also don't have trouble finding anything on the guide. I have the premium plus, HBO, Cinemax, Starz, and my local channels.
Dawn dish soap for fleas
I had this problem before with some kittens. Soak the pup down and scrub it up with dawn dish soap. Apparently the fleas get caught in the "bubbles" and suffocate. Leave this on the puppy for about a 1/2 hour to an hour then rinse. Keep in mind that this does work BUT dry skin occurs.
Recipe for angel hair dish...
*1 box Angel hair pasta
*2 dozen frozen raw jumbo shrimp thawed and peeled(thaws quickly under running water in collander)
*1-1/2 sticks butter and a 1/4 cup olive oil (prevents butter from hardening when cooled)
*A couple of cups of steamed (firm/not overcooked) and chopped brocolli
*Tablespoon of minced garlic or more or less to taste (I use the one in the jar - and we like garlic!)
*Salt and Pepper to taste - few dashes of each
*Melt butter and add oil, garlic, S&P on medium heat in small pot, mixing often
*Cook shrimp in butter mixture until just done and not overcooked, a handful at a time and removing when cooked and setting aside
*Cook and drain pasta, and transfer back into warm pasta pot
Add broccoli, cooked shrimp and pour butter mixture over all and blend together.
Top with parmesan cheese and a bit of parsley, if desired.
Delicious!!!
Need opinions on Dish TV versus Direct TV please.. sm
I have had both and currently have Direct but have never liked it due to the poor programming guide (only allowed to set up one Favorites, have to stand almost in front of the receiver for the remote to work, very difficult to find anything on the guide, not good music channels, etc.). I am only 9 months into a 2 year "programming contract" and feel I am going to be charged a cancellation fee though do not know how much. Anyway, I would like opinions from others on the service, etc. of both these companies before I make my decision to switch. Thanks to all who take the time to answer!
You can make the whole dish tonight and store in refrigerator!!
I do this all the time for church. Boil them, fill them and wrap good in wrap. Make sure you wrap them really good or your frig will smell like eggs! They will be fine for tomorrow!! In fact, I like them better!! Hope everything works out!
Yeah! The judges RAVED about that pasta dish!
Dish versus Direct Satellite service
I have had Direct Satellite for approximately 10 years now. Of course, the men have all the ESPN and other sports channels. But, our pictures are great (have on 3 televisions), and the DVR feature the kids love to record events. In the past 10 years now, service has only been out twice, and then that will be from severe storms, but it clears up quickly once the storm passes. I do not know anything about Dish, but heard that is also a good satellite program. It is not cheap with all sports and movie channels in, but they watch them all the time when home.
oh my gosh, would you, yourself, bathe in DAWN dish soap - ouch!
no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Vaseline works too and to rinse out use Dawn dish soap.nm

You could bathe with a gentle shampoo or even dish detergent, rinse well and if you have vinegar do
a vinegar rinse and then do a final rinse. This might drown the fleas or at least stun them. If dog is light colored you might be able to see them and pick them off when dog is wet. If you have a dog brush, brush it outside and you might get some off that way. If you have tea tree oil you can put some around its neck area or on a collar if you have one. This is a fairly strong smell though and we've always had to wash it off the same day, though lots of people swear by this. I can't think of anything else you can do with stuff you already have around the house.
We adopted 3 kittens from the shelter and have never had a flea problem, but now we can't seem to get rid of them and my dog is on 3 different treatments and I still find an occasional flea. She has developed a sensitivity to bites too and scratches all the time and can't take prednisone because she has Cushings.
Growing up we had a tri-colored Pembroke corgi. He was the sweetest thing and I still miss him terribly, 30 years later.
Just slang for girls, from a long time ago. Lots of them.. Dish, Broad, Chick...

Why not provide the meat and have every bring a side dish, appy, or dessert? You're looking at to

Always be looking. Every day. Network with others. SM
I have the best job I've ever had in my life, and it came from friends on the board. Every job I get is the same way. Word of mouth. I have only filled out one application for employment since 1983 and I already had the job.
They really are out there and it sounds like you are qualified. Are you wanting full time or part time?
We could have our own network MTtV
Have a show like Candida Camera where a resident spends an hour with a patient that he doesn't understand. When the doctor asks where the pain is the patient can point to his chest and as soon as the MD starts listening to the chest, the patient can change his mind and tell him the pain is in the back. When he goes to the back, the patient can tell him, "no wait, in the stomach". He can give him a list of medicines all spelled wrong and dosages all wrong. Then when the doctor is giving him instructions, the patient can start talking on his cellphone, making the doctor sit and wait while the patient talks to someone else.
Or....
In another episode of Candida Camera, show a physician talking to consulting doctor who speaks a number of different dialects or a doctor who talks a million milds a minute in half-syllable words. Watch Dr. A try to understand what Dr. B as he makes up words, lab tests, and diagnoses.

For the network either, apparently.
BTW, I think it sucks that he left his wife and poor little ill baby for his new co-star. Glad it was canceled!!!
Is the printer on a network?
You may have to "wake up" the computer that printer is directly connected to and/or reboot that computer.
hughes network
I had them also before as I live way out there. They sound a little better than Wildblue but I still had many problems and felt they were not much faster than dial up either. We now also have DSL with windstream and even though it is the slowest connection that windstream has, it is better than dialup or satellite. I enjoy it also. To get started with Hughes network it cost me $800.00 to buy the dish and $60.00 a month. I still have the dish on the house and have no use for it. I too am happy with my DSL.
Network Problem
The problem could be any of several different things. We'll have to step through this and I'll need to be able to ask you some questions so we should probably take this offline to email.
Just hit "Reply by E-mail" at the bottom of this post with the subject "Network Problem" and I'll get back to you.
network air card
I have one which I purchased a month ago. it works well. I went with Verizon because it is 5 Gigs and ATT is only 3 Gigs of usage which makes a lot of difference. It works well and is portable. Sounds like it would be good for you in your situation. The first bill is more becuase of the setup fee, etc. ($112). I have not decided if I will keep my internet carrier or just have the Verizon. it is enough unless you want to view movies do a lot of video stuff. That will send you over the amount and cost a lot more. Hope you granddaughter gets better post haste. Will remember her in prayer.

How hard is it to network 2 systems
I would like these 2 systems to talk with each other and have no idea of how to do it?
He's still on the air because he owns the network. Nuff said? nm
:
You can Google for the show on the network and
read episode summaries online. Or there are websites out there with the fullblown scripts of every episode posted. I think they're even coming up with websites where you can legally watch reruns for $.99. I used to read the long scripts on my favorite TV show when we didn't have cable.
Global Transcription Network
Has anyone heard of the company "Global Transcription Network," was offered a job today. Thanks bunches everyone.
Global Transccription Network
Where is the company located. I worked for a company that bought out a company by that name. If it is one in the same - do your best to run the other way. 
Global Transcription Network
It is based out of Texas.

Next Food Network Star
Anybody watch The Next Food Network Star tonight on Food Network? Yvonne got "voted off the island" this time - she was always cooking ethnic and hispanic foods that were good, but she copped an attitude when she got voted off. The guy from Iowa is still going strong! I betcha the blond chunky guy wins (is Guy his name?) though.
I think the important part is the network
Homeschooling with others in a network is a little different than just plain homeschooling.
So, how do these children learn to pick their battles? Do you as a homeschooling parent throw an eraser at them once in a while or pass a love note?
I'm not so sure I understand.

They will register your domain name for you as well as host your site. They're also readily available if you have any questions. I went with them on the recommendation of a friend who is a website designer and have been very happy with my decision. It was pretty easy to design my website on their site as well.

Your wireless network and Wii are probably in the same frequency.
Your Wii is interfering with the wireless network. We just purchased home theater system and were considering the wireless speakers. When I asked the salesman about possible intereference with the wireless network, he said that is a problem and we decided instead to go with the wired speakers.
I'm not an expert in this field but you could try checking with someone like the Geek Squad or Firedog at Circuit City to be certain.
MT mentoring email network
Hello, I was curious if anyone out in MT land would be interested in starting a new MT mentoring program with me. I'm not advertising or anything like that, I just have an idea that I would like to have a sort of email network that new MTs (or experienced ones too) might be able to email me their question and I would have a group of MTs I could email the question out to who could respond if they knew the answer. Does that make sense? This would be a free service just to help fellow MTs out.
I think this is something that would be invaluable to new (or old) MTs because I remember being a newbie at home and being sort of lost in space as it were. If you are interested you can email me.

Isn't network marketing another name for Amway?
xx
As opposed to Commie News Network?
x
LOL, Commie News Network? Facts? LOL
You get your news from CNN? Well, that explains a lot. As far as being ready for kids...Plenty of people have only as many kids as they can support themselves, AND buy their own house, AND provide for their own retirements. It's called planning, not reproducing to the extreme under the umbrella of being a "good Catholic" and then being unable to provide.
Amway, Quixstar & Network Marketing
First let me tell you that there is nothing wrong with Network Marketing and that it's a wonderful business to be in. The best advice I can give is first of all, research several companies and see what their compensation plans are. I would NOT sign up based on someone feeding me a bunch of hype. Also, look for a product that you can believe in. Next, check out the company. Just as it is done here, everyone is checking out all the companies before they get in. Make sure that the company is founded and operated on sound ethics and business practices. As for spending a lot of money on books, tapes and seminars.....ALL of us should be doing that on a DAILY basis. It's called personal development and that is the best thing in the world you can do for yourself. So to sum it up and because of limited space to write here....tell them to GO FOR IT!!! If you have any questions go ahead and email me and I can go into much more detail to help. Take care and have a blessed day!
I wasn't putting down Network Marketing...sm
Simply stating where the money in Quixtar comes from. Sure, you get a bonus check every month if you sell products, but the majority of the money comes from the tools. Tapes that are made from Quixtar seminars are sold and pushed on people. If you don't get on the tool program, they don't want to help you - because they won't make money if you don't buy the tools.
Anyone work for Global Transcription Network
Any comments? I'm a new hire, and looking for any feedback. Based out of Arlington TX.
Is anyone else as disgusted as I am with the current network TV fare? (sm)
I have never seen so much junk on television as there seems to be this summer season so far. I tuned in to those two new reality series - the one on ABC last night, Master of Champions, and the one on NBC on Tuesday, America's Got Talent. The one on Tuesday was nothing more than a take-off of the old Gong Show. Ridiculous people doing crazy stuff that somebody thinks is talent. And the only really "talented" ones are minor talents at best. Last night's show I thought would be more interesting with the contortionist kid who shot an arrow with her feet (that one was actually good) and drift drivers. However, they lost me in the first five minutes when they turned the drift drivers into motorized cheese graters. (They basically had to do cookies about this block of cheese with this grater attachment.) This reality stuff has just gone completely overboard when the major networks are putting this kind of garbage. This is the type of stuff I would expect to see on the lesser networks. I'm ready to throw the TV out the window!
I agree. I only watch network television
in the summer occasionally. That's if there is an episode of Dateline, 20/20, etc. that I am interested in. I have DirectTV, so I usually watch other channels such as Discovery, Discovery Health Channel, Animal Planet, Bravo, etc. And I normally try to find a good movie on one of the movie channels. Network TV usually sucks in the summer.
I think you need to network the puters, not make a connection. Anyone know what
