    Public Access TV Channels???

    Dr Gene Scott...?!! The dude is out there, way out there, and his wife, spins the same... That's not PAC, that's religion, and its paid for. Scott defines himself as an educator, in reality — it's theological... "Am I boring you?!!..." Dr. Gene Scott He's rather amusing, at times, but...

    Public Access TV Channels???

    I know it's confusing, but just consider the latest impact upon Sirius/XM merger and associated mandates; a percentage of spectrum must be inline and defined as education/public interest... consider it as a PSA (Public Service Announcement). Dish, to be considered a good citizen, must provide a...

    Public Access TV Channels???

    A percentage of spectrum must be allocated/dedicated to PACs (Public Access Channels); via FCC mandates. You may not charge for carriage of a Public Access Channel... That would defeat the purpose of PACs. In all actuality, it's just the opposite... Dish must pay to carry the PAC channels to...

    Its probibly being hammered, at the moment... I posted it before it became such a massive media story... try hitting it again, I thought it well worth the look, and made me think, at 53, I should be more receptive to what my body tries to tell me. :p BTW, thats the one problem with 'Adobe's...

    Ice, first, understand, I'm not trying to be a jerk... You're right, it isn't satellite related, nor are the vast majority of stories posted in the 'Latest Headlines' at SatGuys via 'MultiChannel News'. You'll notice, the vast majority of stories from 'MultiChannel News' are media related, not...

    2 Minutes

    Its Media News... Its a first (remember the Super Bowl Apple commercial)... for months, in the UK, there's been a national campaign — posters, kiosks, bus stops, train platforms, etc., all leading up to this once only — '2 Minutes', alluding to the one-time presentation, during prime-time — the...

    Olympics PQ

    If the OTA is multicasting, broadcasting more than one channel (i.e., 6.1, 6.2, 6.3), it poses compression issues (as well as atmospheric conditions), but will say... OTA is my preferable Olympic feed over SAT; PQ is crisper, sharper, with little to no lag (blur) or pix...

    Locals over antenna - how to see program info?

    The EPG matter is under current FCC consideration/investigation; intentional blockage of PSIP data stream content (program name, program description, station schedule — embedded in the DTV OTA signal)... Hopefully, the matter will be addressed soon.

    Dish Network in Baja Mexico

    Todos Santos, Baja, we have DirecTV-Latin American, in our villa, as do all our ex-pat neighbors — for the simple reason, the last thing you want to do is break the law down in Mexico, (Dish logo or blank). The rumors of police in Mexico being corrupt, are true, in most cases. Dish does not...
