The American feed of RTPi on 97W Ku is scheduled to show the first semifinal live Tuesday at 3PM EDT, the second one delayed Thursday at 4:30PM EDT (I don't know why they do this) and the finale live Saturday at 3PM EDT. The American feed of BVN on 117W Ku doesn't provide an online schedule...

The server is responding today, but you still can't read any messages. The messages also appear to only to up to about a month ago, except for two dated today about repairing the website, but you can't read them either...

If they're telling the truth about them using the S905X3 chip, that does apparently support 4:2:2. Personally, I have no desire to ever have another Android TV box of any variety, unless it's free. But that's because I was burned by a buggy piece of expensive junk called the Amiko A3. (I...

Friday's episode of "Secrets Declassified with David Duchovny" isn't being picked up by New timers because it has last Friday's date on it. Come on guys, pull your heads out, we're only two episodes in to the series!

AFAIK it's not assembled on the fly, there's actually a channel transmitted that looks like that. If you have an H3, you should be able to make up your own selection in sports bar mode (I would think; I don't have an H3.)

And I've had buggy receivers that would spontaneously turn the LNB power off (but not reflect that in the menu) when doing things like aborting a scan or aborting a motor move.

I'm a little concerned that he's getting 0 though. I would've thought there would be SOME voltage coming back from the LNB due to cosmic noise, internal noise, and whatnot.

I seem to remember, when I had my Amiko Alien2 and Alien3, there was some mention of support for some sort of interactive channels that was used in Europe. I can't remember what it was called though. Something like HBB-TV? (Hybrid broadband?)

Yes, I know Dish buys the data from somewhere else, but you'd think they'd have an interest in making sure that it's correct. A few weeks ago, there was a period when new episodes of The Curse of Oak Island were being missed because they had the wrong original air date attached. (It wasn't...

A three-hour tour would be the boot sequence.

I never had an Android compass that was accurate enough or stable enough to use for technical work. Yeah, I've tried the whole waving it around in a figure-8 thing, too many times. I haven't tried it with my latest phone (my first non-entry-level model) though, because I haven't needed a...

Not that I really wanted to watch them, but I want to make sure I don't have anything going on with my equipment. Everything else is fine, but I've got a good signal on this transponder yet all the channels are breaking up so bad they're completely unwatchable.

The only thing I see out of date on the Ku chart is the NBC national channels are no longer FTA.

Its main value currently is as the source of a customized software package for Edision receivers and a few others.

I can only read threads in Chrome, not Firefox. Chrome is stock except for MalwareBytes Browser Guard, Firefox (which is my main browser) is heavily adblocked, popupblocked, etc.

I tried to update my credit card expiration date today and I got a message that the payment couldn't be processed at this time and I should try later or call them. I tried a few more times, same response. So I decided to try to set it up for direct withdrawal from my bank account instead, and...

If everyone jumped off a bridge, would HDNET jump off a bridge? (And I see they didn't even bother to address the censorship issue.)

PTAT would get in the way if you wanted to record three things simultaneously and none of them were covered by it. Related question: does auto-hop require PTAT? For some reason I thought it did, but I have PTAT off (unless it's turned itself on) and just the other day I got a popup asking me...

"Something's always wrong at Radio Havana Cuba" --Glenn Hauser's World Of Radio

There was also a huge earthquake today.

I prefer the trailer for the movie adaptation of Mario Kart. At least that had Pedro Pascal in it.

Yes, I never use the home screen. But I don't get why everything has to look like everything else these days. Why does MacOS have to look like iOS? Why does Android have to look like iOS? Why does Windows have to look like a mobile OS? Why does Linux, of all things, have to look like a...

Yeah, I thought it looked like a streaming box. I'm not a fan. (But I wasn't even a fan of the Carbon UI either.)

BVN has a low symbol rate and a high error correction rate, so it doesn't take a huge signal to receive it properly. However, I have no idea what the actual output power on their transponder is, or how to do the math anyway. So unless someone comes up with that, the only way to tell would be...

I tried to use Dish Anywhere today for the first time in quite a while, and I couldn't remember my username, which is apparently separate from my Dish account username. So I hit the option to have them send a code to my email. By the time it arrived, the window for using it had expired. And...
