    God's Learning Channel?

    All, I was wondering if I could get a favor from someone, since my FTA dish has been out of commission for a while now. Can someone verify that Lyngsat is correct and God's Learning Channel is actually running on 97W Ku? - Trip

    A note from Jeff Schumann from Manhattan Digital

    One could argue that if power bills were substantially higher, TV stations might have reduced power or gone off the air. (Unlike the repack, recall there was no government funding for the digital transition, so that meant they'd need a bigger transmitter, as well.) Would that have benefited...

    A note from Jeff Schumann from Manhattan Digital

    The ATSC standard was the one preferred by the broadcast industry, largely because it was invented in the US and because it came with lower power bills. I believe it may have also required less computing power than OFDM did at the time, making it more feasible to deploy more quickly. Sinclair...

    A note from Jeff Schumann from Manhattan Digital

    My first question is why this is in the FTA forum and not the OTA forum, but this is where Scott posted it, so I will leave it be. I also don't expect a response from Jeff to this post. That said... This is a non-sequitur. AM and FM radio spectrum is not in demand by wireless companies...

    C Band Dish Registration

    If they weren't going to get paid in some form, one would think they would be fighting tooth and nail against it, not trying to manage it. They could line up the local TV stations, the cable companies, the cable channels, the radio stations, etc. to go lobby the FCC or Congress to kill it or...

    C Band Dish Registration

    I'm well aware of what the FCC knows; see my signature. ;) But I think "handing" is a bit of a loaded term. It's more like if you pay me $5 and I then hand you a burger. They're paying for it. In the case of C-band spectrum, the current licensees would be paid one way or another, which is...

    C Band Dish Registration

    A few things. 1) Every comment submitted gets read. I've done it for dockets that I've been involved in (this isn't one of them) and sometimes it's a real slog. Many of them don't get cited, though, because they say things like "I think you should do x" without actually spelling out any...

    FCC Freezes C-Band

    Freezes like this are routine when something like this is under consideration. The idea is to prevent speculators from putting themselves in a position to profit off a near-future decision if it goes that way. As an example, the FCC froze TV station channel changes on 5/31/2011, even though...

    New FCC Satellite Spreadsheet

    Didn't see a thread about this, but thought it might be of interest to some here. https://www.fcc.gov/approved-space-station-list It has links to various technical applications where available. My apologies if it's already posted elsewhere. - Trip

    RTVE and REVN Gone From 97W

    I've been gone for three years but my understanding is that the contracts require custom schedules for those stations, usually because the local spots were being trafficked at Luken. In one case, it was the desire to have a schedule that allowed for a prime time newscast. - Trip

    HTPC a TeVii story

    The one problem I've had with my S660 is that it sometimes loses the ability to lock DVB-S2 signals. This often happens if I lock multiple DVB-S signals before going back to a DVB-S2 signal. Unplugging/replugging the receiver fixes it. - Trip

    hdmi to dvbs

    Not all TV tuners support both, for example if one is still using a converter box from the 2008-2009 era, those were ATSC-only. Further, if you're using OTA, most sets I've seen will not allow you to use both ATSC and QAM at the same time, you have to switch modes and rescan. Using ATSC gets...

    Amiko A3 - FTA 7 Day EPG Now Available for North America

    I've been watching this receiver but, while my dish is sitting on its side at the moment and has been through the winter months :( I haven't wanted to invest in it yet. This makes it even more interesting. Any word on what might be coming next? Can I put a request in for the PBS feeds on...

    Big Shake-up to Happen on 99w and 101w C-band

    I'm not 100% sure that's legal. Plus, KRBK's system isn't made up of "translators" but of synchronized on-channel transmitters which have much more stringent timing and synchronization requirements than translators do. They probably need professional-grade receivers which are guaranteed to...
