    Win a 2 LNB Add On Bracket Bundle for Ku Dish w/Amiko LNB and Pansat 4x1 DiSEqC Switch!

    I would like to enter the contest. I put up my first ku band dish in the 4DTV days to get the services on 99W over 20 years ago. Later when those channels went back to C band I bought a Fortec Lifetime Ultra receiver and repointed over to 123W for the RTN channels around 2009. I have...

    DSR922 Update

    I didn't think was anything left that model could receive. I still have my DSR922 for a backup dish mover but recycled a stack of other mpeg2 DCII receivers last year that all still worked but seemed to take up more space than they were worth in 2022.

    OTHER Ku band causing interference on amateur radio 2 meters

    In the family, my son and I both have FT2890R radios in our shacks. I programmed both with the RT Systems program using my Dell laptop and my laptop definitely causes that type of S9 RFI on the radios in my case. Using the same laptop with Chirp on other radios the same issues are evident and I...

    Mediasonic HomeWorx DTV Box with DVR - Updated Model Review

    It appears only by the channel selected as indicated at 6:35 in the video. I have a very similar earlier generic model that works very well with the same GUI. However, I use one of my Edision Mio4K boxes with the external USB tuner instead.

    ATSC 3.0 DRM Encryption

    Submitted my complaint. I agree everyone should.

    ATSC 3.0 DRM Encryption

    My personal TV viewing habits in the last 2 years are mostly my local OTA TV since Orby closed down. I personally have no interest of being on the bleeding edge of any new technology in regard to simply turning on a TV and watching the available programming. Any thoughts about the possible...

    Free XM/Sirius

    It's been quite a while since I was a subscriber and I still get the Sirius XM emails and post cards all the time. On Nov. 18th I received the email stating the promo was running from Nov. 23 to Dec. 5 2022. I tried the 2 VW Jettas in the household and it currently is activated on both cars.

    New TiVo Interface sucks

    My Roamio OTA lifetime model frequently updates when doing the data refresh for the guide. It's only connected to the network occasionally and powered off most of the time unless needed. In the past 2 years mainly for the Decades TV channel weekend binges. After the rollback, I would be worried...

    Time to start over, maybe

    I have one of those Farmall Cubs, I use it around the property all the time.

    Life After an Edision OS Mio+

    It's already been 2 years since I left Dish. I still have my owned VIP211K receiver with the EHD setup for occasional DVR use with about 1 TB of programming stored. It still works fine with the recordings. I disconnected the dish before cancelling the service. Once in a while I power it up to...

    Life After an Edision OS Mio+

    I realized last week after many years when I connected my microHD how many services in the channel list were gone. I haven't had paid subscription TV since Orby shut down. I really don't miss it since I have over 40 OTA channels in my area. Most of which were the FTA satellite channels anyway...

    Geosat Micro and Geosat 1200 S2 receivers

    I just powered mine on for the first time in years. I don't see an LNBF power setting.

    FTA KU Band Satellite info please!

    Just as clucas stated... For the learning curve, I would practice the dish aiming and tweaking at ground level. Perhaps setup the dish on a pallet or some object that is sturdy and not going to move within the clear view of the sky and elevation. Not to add to confusion but just for something...

    Time for a new thread for you radio guys.

    I can't help but think about why would someone with any understanding of radio propagation would have decided to assign CBRS into the upper HF band. We use our CBs on the road between family vehicles but have seen times when the band was open that a vehicle within sight had to get through S10+...

    Time for a new thread for you radio guys.

    It's already been 5 years since I've been licensed and my son just got his in April. The ham radio has certainly cut into my satellite hobby time. I have dual band 2M, 70CM radios and CBs in every vehicle I own. I love the small President Bill CB unit for the cars.

    Amiko mini 4k uhd s2x

    I have an Amiko mini HD265 model that I blind scan with. When it finds TPs without video or audio such as data, it displays failed during the scanning step among the channels it successfully logs. Is that what you find?

    ORBY TV - WEBSITE COMING SOON

    Still have my receiver and dish ready to to reinstall. Should something ever work out, I would sign up again if under similar conditions as previously set forth.

    Order an item on site

    In the past year I've ordered a couple of ham radio related things from eBay that never shipped after weeks. After getting Ebay involved to get refunds, the sellers admitted they didn't even have what they were offering for sale. These were supposed US based sellers but who knows. One seller...

    Eutelsat 113 West A at 113.0°W

    I have a 6' dish pointed at 113W for several years now for that TP and it's possible but only under perfect clear weather. I watch Rev'n by satellite because my local OTA channel shares it with 8 other subchannels.

    OK I have a nice pile of very old caps from 1968 all are new old stock I have no clue what they are, does anyone know???

    This brings back memories. I have some of those very same brand capacitors from decades ago when my grandfather had a radio and TV repair business.

    Story / H&I / MEtv / Movies / StartTV - NO video for 30 seconds or more...

    On 101W, I noticed the Folk TV and Z Living Channels seem to take a second or 2 to display video but always have for me. Others seem normal.

    Broadcasters to Encrypt ATSC 3.0 Signals - How it Impacts Free OTA TV

    Since Orby went out of business, I have not had subscription TV nor do I stream anything. When I have time to watch TV it's mostly what I receive over the air locally, mostly for convenience whether live or recorded. My satellite FTA channels and feeds closely mirror what I receive OTA at this...

    Edision Edision OS mio+ 4K HDMI issue

    If the Edision is connected directly to the TV does the issue still occur and crash? I know my Mio doesn't work well with older presumably HDMI 1.3 generic cables. Just not enough data can pass and artifacts are displayed at 1080i while 720p is fine. What is the video refresh rate? If set at...

    Edision OS Mio 4k stuck on "boot" and blue screen

    My Mio 4K takes forever to boot if I forget to disconnect the powered external 500 GB hard drive. Even with just a USB flash drive it sometimes takes extra time, but it hangs at the splash screen while it's apparently reading the contents of the drive first. My first original unit developed a...
