    Uplink Activity Report - 7/2/2008 12:17pm - 66 changes

    well, looky there, Lansing CBS and FOX now available. Good for us Lansing folks: not good for me because just had roof redone and can't get signal until repeak those dishes. Not really my preference for roof mount, but no other location has "line-of-sight".

    Voom..Are you still happy it's gone?

    Is VOOM an acronym for something? View Our Obscure Media View Over and Over, Man Very Overrated and Overhyped, Man

    HD picture quality not as good as before?

    I have definitely seen a reduction in PQ, but I know it's my 46" RP Hitachi getting long-in-the-tooth (convergence ok, IC's probably need change). This makes me wonder if aging equipment (receivers, cables, LNBs, etc.) can cause signal degradation.

    Anomalies Present On 5 Star MaxHD - White Dashes On The Very Bottom Of The Screen

    I've seen this as well, but only on one of my widescreen HDTV's. It appears on some channels and not others. I thought it might be due to the overscan setting. I've not done anything about it, though.

    picture-in-picture audio

    I posted this elsewhere (see below), but it works. I'll have to look at my setup to get the exact connections, if you want it: I use my TV's PIP when my wife wants to watch one of her shows. I have Dish and split the output from TV2 to also go to our main 46" 16:9 HDTV. She uses remote2 and...

    What was the point in that Planet Green Countdown Clock?

    My post was necessarily brief (more like laconic) because it would take pages to accurately address this topic and this is obviously not the place. I meant that certain areas will experience warmer weather and other areas; colder weather. The oveall average is increasing. Global warming is...

    HD Locals sticky?

    Hey, grand rapids. Thought this may interest you:“The possibility of losing important local channels is understandably leading many residents to look at their television service alternatives,” said Eric Sahl, vice president of programming at DISH. He added, “Consumers in Green Bay...

    Petition to remove WFN HD from Dish Network HD Line up

    hey, whatever floats your boat:) More power to you! Actually, makes me think: make WFN interactive and I'd be there!

    Whats this NO PIP with Directv??

    I use my TV's PIP when my wife wants to watch one of her shows. I have Dish and split the feed from TV2 to also go to our main 46" 16:9 HDTV. She uses remote2 and wears wireless headphones to watch her show while I'm watching my show with audio. This works nicely for SD shows with each...

    What was the point in that Planet Green Countdown Clock?

    Anybody who thinks that global warming is not happening is diluted. The exact cause can be disputed, but it is occurring. Does global warming mean that it's hotter everywhere? No. Weather patterns change, storms become more severe. Is global warming over-hyped? Yes, but you've got to start...

    OTA Indoor Antenna

    My house is surrounded by trees and was using a cheap RCA amplified to get OTA HD. A light breeze would cause multipath distortions and the signal would drop to zero. I switched to one of those radio shack directional w/ remote (the Star Trek TNG looking one). It is much better and can pick...

    Petition to remove WFN HD from Dish Network HD Line up

    Agreed, I don't want it in HD or otherwise. Not that it really matters, but I was referring to the Verizon FIOS WFN being SD and that I don't care to watch a HD fish. 'Oh, is that a Pomoxis nigromaculatus or is it a Pomoxis annularis? If only I had that fish in HD then I could differentiate...

    Petition to remove WFN HD from Dish Network HD Line up

    Appears not to be, but the programming is the same: A fish by any other resolution is still just a fish.

    Why is the 622 retarded?

    Thanks! I've read a lot about removing locks in these forums and always wondered what they were good for. Always just associated them with keeping the kiddies safe...
