Typically , urban areas have high density buildings , while suburban and RURAL areas have low density housing. Low density housing typically refers to residential areas occupied by single-family homes or buildings with a small number of units. Low density neighborhoods are generally more...

Quit trying to start another Rabbit Hole discussion, the FCC never required them to be in a rural areas, they required 75% of the United States, since they are still not in LA, Boston and Charleston , the biggest of those, LA Metro, has a population of 18 Million and 33,954 square miles, making...

There is a highway nearby...

I believe they are above 70% now...it all depends what the FCC calls rural and also coverage just means the service is available...they don't measure how many people can receive a signal at their particular location...if you live in timbucktoo..dish only needs 1 tower and they have service...not...

They have said for the last year that the rural areas are what will be a boogaboo, because of covering less dense areas. Less dense and rural are pretty much the same thing. Rural areas are not full of a large population like cities like L.A. California. "DISH has a deadline of mid-June 2025...

The first thing I thought of was the cell companies lining all the highways with towers.

I will check with the DIRECTV guys and see their thoughts. The cutting edge one will stay as it will be used when they need to announce something. I have no problem with it. :D

There are no "ground" wires in Ethernet as it employs current loop technology rather than a signal .vs. ground configuration. It is pretty rare to find anything less than enterprise-grade networking gear that fully supports shield grounding and that would demand properly terminated shielded...

Again, LA, Boston and Charleston are metro areas, Dish still has to get those done, which probably will bring them extremely close to 75%.

Thank you!

It's population not area...they don't put cell towers in corn fields

And that's a good thing, right? Why do I want a hopper?

One mobile co. is spending, and another may be thinking about it. https://www.wsj.com/business/telecom/t-mobile-verizon-in-talks-to-carve-up-u-s-cellular-46d1e5e6?st=esppn0jf8e6oeh7&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

A few weeks ago, a blog reader reached out to me to ask if there was a grounded power supply for the DECAs that we sell. A DECA, in case you’re not familiar, is a device that bridges the coaxial cable network used by DIRECTV and others with an Ethernet network. It’s a common part of practically...

How about combining some of the DirecTV Forums, for example the General Forum has not had a new post since last Saturday, programing yesterday, Tech Wednesday and Cutting Edge November 1, 2023. Dish only has 1, which seems to keep it more active.

Sounds good to me. I guess it’s a bit premature to start a Quantum Computing and Effects forum. :oldlaugh

That's what works for me. Aim in the general direction using info from Dishpointer website, blind scan once I get a 'hit' with my meter then compare to known frequencies in the charts. Adjust dish as needed. ;)

Team, Am I correct in assuming matching transponders scanned in to satellite charts is the best way to know which satellite I’m aimed at?

OK, so much for the clickbait headline. You have to do something in order to get Google to notice you sometimes. As they say, don’t blame the player, blame the game. If you have a satellite television system on your boat, chances are it’s over 5 years old. In some cases it could be much older...

I got to thinking the other day about the idea of video games that turn into movies and TV shows. It’s no surprise, since I’m finally getting around to watching the Fallout series on Prime Video. But this isn’t really an article about that. That sort of article would be more appropriate for my...

Do you have great cell signal at work? Do you have to go outside to take a call? Do your friends or kids tell you they tried to text you and it didn’t go through? Up to 90% of people experience bad cell service every day. Are you one of them? Cell boosters for business: It’s the next wave I’ve...

I fully agree.

Well it appears we finally have most if not all of our server issues behind us. (Thankfully!) And looking around its been awhile since we did any kind of Spring Cleanup of the forums here. And looking around I think one is needed. Nothing is set in stone but I am thinking of sending the...
