My wife informed me that my youngest son wanted some certain ear buds for x-mas and had me order them. When I did they offered me a second set a very nice discount. I wanted to get something for my new iPhone so I decided to follow my son's lead and bought the second set. :) RAYCON Everyday...

I killed my A20 phone a few days ago. I had it in my chest pocket on bib overalls I was wearing. I had been doing yard work for a while and got a drink of ice water. Well the half round ice cubes the fridge makes can be a pain and often when they shift in a glass you end up spilling. Well I...

Since there are numerous cat lovers here I thought maybe some can share their thoughts on cutting the mats from my kitty's back. He's a DSH born in a barn and never been much on personal maintenance. Last couple years he has been getting hair mats on his back. Last year I had the vet take care...

I have acquired some cast iron cookware lately and decided to learn about using and caring for cast iron. My Mother-in-law passed away and left a beautiful 100 year old cast iron skillet, Chicago Foundry circa 1917-1934. I had only one cast iron pan before, a BSR from 1980 (Birmingham Stove &...

I was watching the NBC news on Virgin Islands feed when suddenly was looking at a DTV error screen code 771. So that's how they get the signal ;)

In my travels I came into some professionally made Pendragon switch mods. So I can make a few available to FTA hobbyists here on SatGuys. I use these myself. Naughty Mods III: 6x8 Switch with Power Insertion These are great for ortho feeds and if you can't do this mod for yourself here is a...

www.ftalistings.com has updated the site with a lot of new channels added. Very nice!

I just received a Edision MIO+ 4K from Titanium today. It came with TNAP 3.2 installed. I did a quick setup and scanned a satellite. WOW! The blind scan is excellent. Way better than the other images I tried. Way better than TNAP 2.0 . It even finds the transponders that won't lock. :) Very...

When it comes to C-Band I may be old but not "Old School" So I'm looking for old knowledge about using Chap ortho feeds. When you mount the LNBs is there a particular orientation. They can be mounted one way or 180° the other. Also when orienting the ortho feed on the dish is one polarity always...

Was looking through the email ads from eBay and see a indoor flap antenna with a range of 980 miles. Definitely a must for the "Flat Earth" folks ;)...

My wife yells from the livingroom. She is watching the local team on the local channel and I'm in the den watching the game on my FTA setup catching the feed before it comes from the studio. One nice thing about that is I can turn off the audio of the generic sports commentators and replace them...

I decided to replace the Universal Quad Ku LNB on my CM 1.2m dish. Since I pulled the Bullseye II off the C-Band dish for a C-Band only ortho, I had a couple Ku LNBs sitting on the shelf. I found a Ku orthomode feed and put it on the dish. I installed a WNC SW48 powered multi-switch for polarity...

My son is up to date on his app needs and Door Dash fits his needs well. ;) The game was on at night yesterday and I decided not to cook and give Door Dash a try. Quick install and I'm salivating over Chinese food and went for some fried noodles. :hungry 40 minutes later an old 1980's Chevy...

My son advised me he had a UPS package coming as he went to work. No problem I said. Until the package arrived. ;) It was a new "Gaming Computer Chair" and weighed 55lbs disassembled in the box. The driver delivering the package weighed no more than 100lbs I'm sure, and barely bigger than the...

At the beginning of the year I had to travel to the VA Hospital and took the DAV van as usual. Of course there were several vets on the way there with me and the subject got around to me not wearing a Veteran hat. I always wear a cap but usually my favorite sports team or a Subaru hat. The guys...

Since I managed to start Open WebIF in the Edision I decided to see about streaming the elusive 4:2:2 ABC/CBS channels. I managed to stumble right into it. :) Here's what I did. Started "Open WebIF" by entering the IP address of the Edision in my browser (chrome). Now since the Edision was...

Did we lose the Online Statistics box from the forum list page?

I noticed I didn't receive an email notification for a conversation I had with KE4EST yesterday. Just an FYI if needed :)

Val Kilmer posted a trailer of the new Top Gun movie on his FB page.

It's been fun watching the USA women's team become champions, but the game today is one I hope The Netherlands win. :) I would love to see the girls in orange take one from the USA ;) :) For the Championship!

It has come to my attention that there is likely a issue with a production run of VBox7s. I had a late model DMSI VBox7 NIB on the shelf and decided to do a project with it. I began to notice many differences between this unit and it's predecessor VBox7. I discovered that the "Shift" feature did...

A friend of mine posed a question to me yesterday I didn't have an easy answer for. What's it going to take to upgrade to Win10? I started looking at installation media for Win10 and found it to be really confusing. Pricing all the way from a few dollars to 200 dollars and there doesn't seem to...

C-Band is not the only loser in this 5G fiasco ;) 5G networks could wreak havoc on weather forecasting, officials warn

I got in this hobby with an interest in DVBS cards. Since then I have been through a bunch of them. But I haven't really done any improvements for years now. And my stuff is outdated. :( So I have two new tuners and going to try lots of software. :) I went with USB this time again because it's...

Scripps gets bigger and buys my favorite CBS station KPAX. Hoping these means more programming is coming our way. :)
