    Whats for breakfast?

    After a solid week away from NM I was craving some green chile. So before work I stopped @ *Java Joe's for a breakfast burrito. It didn't disappoint. *Java Joe's was featured in numerous scenes filmed during, Breaking Bad.

    Bit Rate Errors - causes and fixes?

    OP you think about listen to what Trip says. I'm a retired broadcast engineer, FM and UHF TV. One thing I truly believe is RF is going to due whatever it wants to. Books, designs, careful planning,....it doesn't care. Some times fooling around is the only way, and boy do you learn a lot.

    No picture on your DIRECTV box? Here are some things to try

    You turn on the DIRECTV system and you get the image at the top of this article. The screen may be black, the wording might be a little different but the idea’s the same. Nothing’s happening.

    Seeking Advice on Installing FTA Satellite Dish for International Programming in RV

    There is good advice in the posts above in this thread. You can try any dish you wish. The smaller the dish you use, the weaker the signal you will receive. Also for Ku-band especially, what works acceptably on a sunny day may not deliver an acceptable S/N ratio on a rainy day.

    Getting the Azimuth

    All of the above. I use free downloadable apps on my Android smartphone which I search for in the Play store. But they are notoriously inaccurate. So you need to cross-check results across several different tools. A good old physical compass is useful for azimuth too. Remember to understand the...

    Has anyone tried to stream services from Canada w/ Sat Dishes becoming a thing of the past in US.

    Historically, multichannel services have been siloed by nation. Canada in particular has sought to exclude much of US programming in support of its cultural integrity and protection of native production. Thus unless near enough to border to receive over-the air, there has been greatly restricted...

    DirecTV allows subs to drop locals

    DiSH launched with a single package option called "America's Top 40", at a now-unbelievable rate of $10/mo. In addition to cable staples like TBS & ESPN, it also had Westerns. Made sense, I guess, for a service going largely to more rural homes than most. On a service call in 1997 I had to...

    OTA antenna combiner

    I wound up buying a "5 star" long range UHF/VHF antenna and the 3 way antenna combiner mentioned at the top of the thread. this extra antenna I'm going to aim right at the tower that gets the crappy signal right now and hope for the best. bought an "open box" splitter/combiner thing off ebay and...

    OTA antenna combiner

    I'm not sure why you are thinking that? Read the description.You can combine any 2 antennas.I wouldn't try using one that has a built-in pre-amp and one that doesn't..I even use this on my camper that has the crank up pre-amp antenna along with a televes built-in pre-amp

    OTA antenna combiner

    OK, but this would seem to require that all channels on each band come from same direction and doesn't allow for combining, say, 2 UHF antennae.

    DirecTV allows subs to drop locals

    I recently switched from stream to satellite as the internet is not reliable enough this far out in the county. I had read that the option to leave out locals and save $12 a month was available during the sign up process, but I never saw that option. The next day I called and asked if dropping...

    OTA antenna combiner

    Using a splitter as a signal "combiner" is only effective for relatively strong signals because 1/2 of the signal from each antenna i goes down to your TV while the other half is re-radiated out the other antenna unless they are both pointed in the same direction. This is the multi-antenna...
