Well after the full-power non-repeater analog stations go dark in 2/09, there will be quite a bit of DTV on the VHF band - much of it presumably on channels 2-6. In 1940, the FCC reassigned the 44–50 MHz area of the frequency range from television to the FM broadcast band, where it remained...

There is now officially "unofficial" software to extract those recordings in a WINDOWS environment. I do not know of any for a linux/unix OS but you might be able to use the Windows program via Wine or the like. If you would like to try let me know (and point me to the proper forum to post it)...

Have read about it. Looked interesting so I looked around and read some more. First I read that they had a big delay because they had to go back and install fans in them. Then I read that they were having problems with some "extra-curricular" functions and that as that brand was said to be...

Actually, U.S. law does prevent people in areas covered by its laws from viewing scrambled canadian satellite. As the Canadian satellite providers are not licensed to broadcast to viewers within the borders of the U.S., technically they are not entitled to it. Descrambling any signal one isn't...

I want to win because I've read a lot about this hobby, purchased a used receiver... and ran out of money. I found an old mini-dish in a dumpster but the fta channels I can receive on it are limited to ppv previews showing me all the new movies I could watch if I was rich, Nasa which can be...

Someone is being sent there in December. Does anyone have any fairly recent experience with satellite in that area? What satellites can be received, free English language channels, pay satellite options, etc.? Thank you.

Hello, Have purchased Pansat 9200HD. Seems to be a nice satellite receiver. Will have to purchase VBox soon to interface with my larger dish. Is new purchase so very much work in progress. This model receiver includes an ATSC OTA tuner and it seems to be a good one. Question has to do with the...

Hmm. No answer. Nobody has one? I'll have to grab one and see, lol.

What I wonder is if there will be some kind of provision for changing the channels on a stb, or if this thing only allows one to select different a/v ports. If it does allow for changing channels remotely it will be useful, otherwise...
