    Picked up some interesting equipment recently - any pros here know what I can do with it?

    Old articles floating about indicate these were for stacking Bell and an apartment lobby camera feed (eg. VHF channel 3) and sending it the rooms where the destacker would separate the signals back out for either the Bell receiver or the VHF input of the resident's TV set for tuning in the CCTV...

    AXAS HIS Twin+ (Cheap Dual Tuner Enigma2 STB)

    Well I'm sorry for bumping this old thread. I was looking to see if these are still available anywhere. Anyone selling/shipping these to US anymore? Or better yet -- how did this box end up working out for you since last update? Thanks in advance!

    Can a Digiwave DWD60T pull in FTA?

    I had a feeling it was that. When I went to Lyngsat and saw I locked DVB-S2 8PSK VAKN it gave me hope.... but I guess that's just a really a strong TP and I got lucky. Alright - time to find a larger dish. BTW - I really miss the old "TheList" section SG used to have. It was good for...

    Can a Digiwave DWD60T pull in FTA?

    Howdy all. It's been a few years since I was a regular poster around these parts. Gave away most of the FTA gear back in 2015 and have been out the hobby ever since. I've acquired a small 24 inch Digiwave DWD60T dish, threw my old Amiko Universal LNB on it with a newer replacement LNB holder...

    BHTV 3.0 - app and web browser now work outside of home for live TV

    BHTV on Roku? (or any OTT platform for that matter?) Likely not April 12th, and now with the Charter purchase announcement coming to light, probably not anytime soon. Additionally, one probably can't watch many of their desired networks via the app or the website when away from the home...

    BHTV 3.0 - app and web browser now work outside of home for live TV

    Got an email from BHN about BHTV 3.0 this afternoon, and checked it out. Great job BHN, on finally rolling out the ability to watch live TV outside of the range of your home cable modem network. (Seriously, great job!) Verizon's allowed it for over a year now for FIOS TV customers, so I'm...

    GEOSATpro HDVR1200 Motor Setting reverts to USALS everytime

    Just received a HDVR1200, and it appears to be running latest? Nov 2013 firmware when I check. I can't seem to get it to understand that I'm choosing (and hoping to save) DiseqC1.2 instead of USALS for my individual satellite selections. I've tried and seem to successfully save motor...

    WFTV-HD not on 9.1?

    Reliable source tells me BHN goes all digital February 2014, and going even further and encrypting all QAM sometime thereafter. (No more free QAM locals in SD/HD on your QAM-tuner TVs and aux tuner devices that aren't cable-card equipped.) The days of free basic/standard cable service on all...

    Welcome to SatelliteGuys Local Radio Discussion!

    As a RD refugee, I really like the notion of bringing the discussion over here. One more reason to love SG, and one less reason to waste time elsewhere! Thank you Scott!

    Is Bright House considering offering Roku channel as TWC presently does?

    Just as the BHN app works on a tablet today, you don't choose the channel by number. You're selecting streams of data, not RF channels of video signal. You locate the channel's stream by name in a guide of all channels available, in a grid similar to a TV guide. You can also look for the logo...

    Is Bright House considering offering Roku channel as TWC presently does?

    Roku channels (in general) are just a means to watch certain content which is already available online in some format. In the case of the TWC TV channel on Roku, on initial setup they just match your Roku box up to your current cable account using your TWC username. (On BHN, it's your "My...

    Is Bright House considering offering Roku channel as TWC presently does?

    I'm curious to know if BHN is thinking about adding or "launching" a Roku channel similar to what TWC has done over the past year with TWC TV, letting you watch the channels online via your Roku box instead of a set-top box. Similar to what the TWCTV and BHTV tablet apps already allow, this...

    What is the third sentence trying to state? Am I just not getting it, or was this a typo?
