One more and then I'm done for the night! I have Direct TV hooked up to 4 receivers/tv's in the house, The last couple months we've had sporadic periods of poor or no reception on 2 or 3 of the tv's. And we try the unplugging power and plug back in and sometimes you don't even get the "Searching for Satellite" signal with the percentage deal. Called DTV and they walked me through a bunch of stuff to no avail. One is almost always good, so I switched that receiver to another that wasn't coming in at all and still nothing. And I should mention that there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason - we've sometimes had the worst reception on the clearest calmest days with no snow, the dish is free of snow and ice, etc. The only thing I can think is that where the main cable comes in the house they run it to what is basically a splitter - 2 in connections (the main cable splits into two) and 4 out connections, with coax going to the 4 receivers. The one that almost always works is the second closest to the splitter, so not sure that is the issue, and they all used to work great for the 3-4 years we've had it. The only other thing I noticed is that this splitter seems to get pretty warm. Can these things wear out and should I try to replace it, or is it likely something else? And can I buy one of these at a Radio Shack or something, or do I have to go to DTV? Thanks guys.

Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
