    You know what cyberham, i have to agree with you here. It would take next to no work to update their website and fix this, yet they do not. I am removing my last sentence on my original post so as not to steer anyone in the wrong direction.

    What is GMRS? And should you stay away from it?

    This is the radiotelephony service in the UHF band that predates cellular, right? Or as I recall, it combined point-to-point with ability to contact a "mobile operator" to place a call to a phone #. We used it on the farm in the 80s. I suppose you could overhear about traffic on it, but wouldn't...

    Received email from Netflix about household sharing

    The article doesn't say the growth is related to the end of password sharing, so I'm not sure how it's relevant?

    After the Broadcast Channels’ Season is over (where the majority of new content on Paid Live TV is on), the summer looks to be a drought for new content, since the strikes have seemed to finally caught up to cable channels.

    What is GMRS? And should you stay away from it?

    First of all, dear reader, thanks for coming to The Solid Signal Blog. I know you could get a lot of information from a site like Wikipedia.

    THROWBACK THURSDAY: Life in 1984

    Modern color rear-projection television had become commercially available in the 1970s, so a lot bigger. We had about 40, suck then as much as it does today, just because there are 200 channels more today, does not make it better then 1984, specially since the majority of new content is on...

    The cliff effect? The shelf effect? What is it?

    A while back I was talking to our Signal Pro Rob Young about the way that digital broadcasting works. Rob’s a smart guy and I’ve learned a lot from him. We were talking about some of the common terms that people use to describe the way that this kind of signal drops off at a certain point. I...

    No Digital Audio Out from Hopper

    WOW !! Finally got things working. Figured out that tiny micro rocker switch on top of the aids does several things. One way increases volume. Opposite way decreases volume. Hold one side down turns them on/off. Hold both down for several seconds turns the pairing on to receive the...
