    Privacy issue

    I have a technical question. I was watching a recording of a Hallmark channel movie featuring Kelly Clarkson singing in a couple of spots. Other than being impressed with her ability, I do not follow country music and so had no clue that she was a famous singer in her own right. The very next...

    Solid Signal Blog

    I don't remember it being there before. It's right above the Chit Chat Club. Is this new, or what?

    Tire Brands

    I suffered a blow-out on the Washington Beltway driving home last night. There was a 3" gash in the sidewall and bubbles around the rest of that sidewall. I think the bubbles were due to my speed when this happened. I called AAA to put on the temporary spare. But nobody can tell me what...

    Extreme lag

    I am seeing extreme lag when liking posts, or adding quotes to a new post, this morning. Actual viewing seems to be zippy. What's going on here?

    OTA tuners on H3

    Does the H3 automatically rescan OTA channels periodically? I note that stations are moving around again due to the advent of ATSC3. (I know the existing dongle cannot decode ATSC3.)

    DNS problem

    I woke up at 4AM or thereabouts, and couldn't get back to sleep. Stressing over my kitchen remodeling. :crying Anyhow, for nearly 2 hours, I was unable to get domain name resolution on satelliteguys.us. It's all good now. Are you aware of anything that might have happened that early?

    It was a Falcon 9 booster that launched Echostar 23 in March of 2017. It's second stage successfully delivered the Echostar satellite to geostationary transfer orbit. Note that Falcon 9 second stages are not recovered. https://www.space.com/spacex-rocket-stage-deorbits-over-mexico

    Mobile Hot Spot Data Quotas

    I have been taking advantage of free streaming SiriusXM along with my subscription for my car radio. I have a number of Echo smart speakers at home, at my wife's temporary apartment, and now at work. I originally brought one of my Dot's in to work so that I wouldn't miss any more Alexa-only...

    AWS-East API having outage

    Skip back 10 seconds

    I have been unable to search up the thread where we discussed this, so I'm starting another thread on the subject. Back in the missing thread, I claimed that I could skip back 10 seconds on my H3 until a software update last year made it 20 seconds. And I definitely thought my 722 and 612's...

    Best way to return a Joey

    What might that be? I want to retain my H3 and 2nd Joey. All are leased. I may buy another J3 for the times when I might need it.

    TVs with analog PAL tuners

    My wife bought a cartridge programmer for her computerized Knit King kntting machine with only 1 output, that being an unlabelled RCA jack. Next to that jack is a switch labelled "CH3/CH4". The problem I have is that this thing came from the UK and it almost certainly used PAL modulation...

    Super Audio CD

    Remember SACD? I moved this comment from the Dish forum the better to stay on topic there. I am the only person I've ever heard of who bought one of those players, which I still have. It could also play the DVD Audio format. I can probably find the 15 or thereabouts SACD's. Alas, my analog...

    The Starlost

    Remember this series from the 70's? I really enjoyed the story, if not the lame special effects, spotty acting, and hilarious 70's hairdos. "Cordwainer Bird", aka Harlan Ellison, refused to be associated with this series once he saw what a butchery they made of his script. It had a criminally...

    What is your favorite street name?

    Mine is "Sleepy Hollow". "Pleasant Way" is fair as well.
