    Which LNB is for which satellite?

    You would think with 129 being retired and offline, Dish would start issuing a newer version of the "old" WA LNB they once used specifically for 110 & 119. They'd save millions....

    Mine dropped seven cents to $4.099. Redwood City is $4.899 so you're getting much closer to parity.

    Looking for better TV reception? Just add height!

    Trust The Antenna Guy's experience. Height plus position is important. Just a few feet left or right can make a noticeable difference in reception strength. Especially in hilly locations.

    Looking for better TV reception? Just add height!

    Cutting the cord is more popular than ever. If you follow the trends, it’s possible that by 2020, more people will be using TV antennas than ever before. Let that sink in. More people will be using TV antennas than they did in the 1950s, when there was literally no other choice. Wow. Antenna...

    Teardown video/photos of Hopper 3 or similar receivers

    It’s interesting that I can find way more interior pictures and videos on the web of a VCR that I had in 1985 than of the Hopper 3. I suppose that's partly because VCRs are really complex beasts and you really do find a bunch of interesting stuff going on when you take the cover off. As things...

    Which LNB is for which satellite?

    I believe this to be accurate. In theory since the separation in degrees of each lnbf, would work for other satellites spaced by the same amount. Edit: And why peaking signal for the center lnbf and then tweaking the skew angle would help get max. signal for the outer ones.

    Better get Netflix for NFL on Xmas

    I venture to guess that 2029 is too far away to guess any of this. At that point, we might have just two competing streaming options Global Megacorp (Google's service) and Mega Global Corp (Disney's service) after all the merging is completed. We can safely assume the cable distribution is...

    Better get Netflix for NFL on Xmas

    Will the cable co have an $20 broadcast basic package with $0-$40 local fee the very market to market? Will some cable cos try to find an way to force internet only subs to get broadcast basic? Now will local teams try to get control over there own games in there local markets? Like how it...

    No, it was another complaint post about streaming, this time about Netflix and how you do not like the majority of shows on there.

    How things have changed

    My question was asking about "programming churn" not subs. What is the sweet spot for Netflix regarding consistent content or the type of consistent content. A company like Disney+ has low churn due to them concentrating on their own material. Netflix is about showing mostly other people's work.

    Its TEAM SUMMIT week!

    I just hate it when Dish puts this on the techs as a major part of the job and then they get to the house and the CX has already either been offered or in some cases signed up. It was the same in the old days with routers on Dishnet/Hughes jobs. You guys have too many other things to do than...

    Which LNB is for which satellite?

    Actually as he has it labelled, 3 would have been the 129 and 1 the 110

    How things have changed

    The question is going to be what is the consumer preferred programming churn on services like Netflix. Disney+ will have little to no churn, Netflix will have considerable churn. What is the legacy programming people will pay to keep as a comfort option? There will likely be some saturation...

    Looks like Physical Movie Rental are almost gone

    No one. Maybe AI will eliminate the need for copy editing since it isn't done anymore anyway, but I doubt it. The empire is falling, and this is just one symptom.

    So you just want to put down streaming for the 1000th time and then not defend your incorrect statement? First, you are missing the point on what Mike posted about TBS and TNT, which is they are no longer producing or showing new scripted content, which is the same for a lot of cable channels...

    Too bad we've forgotten whats been going on .... I know you can Stream all the episodes, however, most of the shows that are Streaming have a bad precedence happening, where instead of having a new season every year, were getting a new season every 2 years, or sometimes 3 years later ...
