I guess I'll have to contact the major networks of them then.

I would like to expand a bit of content on my local cable access channel. My provider is starting to branch off into some international tv. So far it is mostly Spanish but there is RAI, TV5, CCTV9 etc. Rebroadcasting those I'm sure would cause a conflict of interest. I'm not a lawyer but I...

"The other FTA stuff will probably never show up here but the government funded news outlets may listen to us. The BBC news channel and DW-TV would be a good start! " They already broadcast in north america...kinda. PBS at least in the boston area shows over the air BBC, DWTV (European...

O I didn't know...thanks.

I've heard that in Iran somehow the government is jamming or scrambling up foreign media tv. I'm just wondering how it could be done with tv. With radio I guess if you broadcast on the same frequency and use more power you can override it but how can an entire footprint be scrambled. I'm just...

I just noticed some problems on hgtv hd...sometimes the audio would go out for less than a second, some random blockyness. If it's just on one channel then it might actually just be that channel. Right now where I am it's snowing at a steady pace. Cable co's get their signals from satellite...

Well there's a few factors that you haven't stated. 1) is this a analog cable box or a digital? an analog cable box at this point I think is pointless. Most cable co's that I know of have take off any encrypted analog programming so you really don't need a box for analog cable. 2) was she...

Silicondust is OK but these ones seem not to show up. The biggest one doesn't even show up in mapping...I found one good channel...went up...ok found another...hmm the odd thing is sometimes when you find a channel all of a sudden others show up but they are empty. out of around 330 or so...

I know it might sound odd to talk about wild feeds with cable. FTA fans know what it refers to. If your tv has a ATSC tuner you can scan with the tuner and find things...odd things...some very nice things :D I don't think this should be totally public as I'm sure a cableco would take...

well it isn't so much of someone actually viewing but just that the technology was being used for that. Just trying to find something because it seems as if the technology allowed for instant broadcasting but the media itself wasn't really allowed for the first few days.

To backtrack a bit I'm doing a report in a class on the invasion of Panama. I remember reading somewhere that it was the first US war that was covered live by satellite. I'm not talking feeds but actual reporting on air. If this is true is there anything saying that in an article? Thanks.

I'm not talking about any hacking. I'm thinking I might be able to convince where I go to school to maybe fund a grant for something with FTA. As a bonus maybe I could have the school keep the equipment and maybe they could feed the ethnic programming into the internal channels for the...

I thought I remember reading that the chip was a motorola 505 (I'm not sure what the differences are between that and a 505a) I know obviously you'd need the dish and you'd also need the cards and you would paying for the programming....

I've heard it's a similar chip set (505) I'm not sure what the differences ware between that and the 505a...

I've heard that it's a old 505 unit. I'm not sure the differences between that and the 505a. I know obviously you'd need the dish and the card...
