    The HD channels are mostly on satellite 129, which is really low in the sky if you are in the northeast. I don't think you can even pick it up in Maine, for example. So the farther north you get, the weaker the signal will be, and any little thing like rain, snow or clouds can exacerbate it...

    It could be a little snow on the dome, coupled with clouds, is enough to do it. I don't have a dome, I have the Tailgater from Dish, and I rarely have problems. Only during heavy downpours, really. Can't recall any snow problems I've ever had, even with the snow sticking to the side of the...

    I'm listening just fine. I'm even picking up on the subtleties, like the difference between whether and weather, and your and you're. And I know it's going to be OK. As moderators we don't get upset over this crap, we just do the Code of Conduct and move on. When your not in your van do you live...

    December is a time to remember

    If that were even a little bit true, you wouldn't be here now. Prison Rules are rules imposed on prisoners who don't have a choice in the matter. The EO Code of Conduct is a set of rules that everyone agrees to in order to receive forum posting privileges. Yes, really! Would you like a third...

    I didn't like the post, but I didn't do anything until the complaints started rolling in, because I don't believe he did it in a malicious manner. But once the legitimate complaints were lodged, I really had no choice but to do something. What I did was, I edited his post to remove the offending...

    Not really. The Code of Conduct is very clear. About what is and is not acceptable, and about what will get you banned if you violate it. It's not like we're making this stuff up as we go. Everyone has read and agreed to the same set of rules.
