    Need some help - 8 foot Unimesh install

    I use a TBS card and TSReader to push it to the AppleTV so no idea how it works with any of those receivers. Try opening the m3u file in Notepad, it likely has a HTTP or UDP link, if so you should be able to punch that right into VLC and not mess around with a m3u file. Nothing I can test...

    Need some help - 8 foot Unimesh install

    I took a quick peak at Infuse and I could not figure it out. VLC is much simpler, just point it to the HTTP link.

    Need some help - 8 foot Unimesh install

    ASI outputs the entire stream, so it would lock ABC and then send the stream over to the RX8200, you would then switch the input on the RX8200 to ASI and then the ABC channels would be there. Just make sure the Arris DSR receiver you are buying supports DVB-S2X. The receivers connect with a...

    Need some help - 8 foot Unimesh install

    I would not buy another RX8200 just to receive ABC. Look for a cheap Arris DSR-74XX and connect it to your RX8200 via ASI. Do double check the model # and specs before buying anything just to be safe.

    Not that I am aware of, I am sure MediaKind would do it but I could only imagine how much it would cost. I would love to upgrade my board too as mine is in the same boat.

    You need a special Sat S2X video board to lock DVB-S2X signals. A majority of the ones on eBay that have the licenses for it have the wrong board. https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ebu-itweb-eurovision-prod/media_public/default/0001/07/91fecccf3d6c2cfced3b4ceb560b02581b7b7b2d.pdf Page 5...

    Sling TV Launches Industry-First $4.99 Day Pass

    Great for college football fans who only care about one team that ESPN carries. The weeks they are on OTA or a bye week you can just skip payment. Can bring the bill down to $15-$20 a month. Even less if it is a popular team that is on ABC quite a bit.

    New user - old Birdview

    I have never heard anything good about them. $46 a month for A&E, GSN and Hallmark channels? Frndly is significantly cheaper. Half the channels they advertise in their package are actually FTA. $85 for a guide is a complete rip off. I see more red flags on that site then I have fingers...

    Cannot watch MLB pre/post-game shows

    That is normal, you need the Sports Pack to watch the pre/post game shows. You should be able to register a MLB.tv account since you have Extra Innings and watch them there.

    How things have changed

    I would imagine "other streaming" are the streaming services not on the chart. DirecTV, Fubo, Frndly, Philo, MLB, NBA, RSNs, Xumo, Plex are some examples but they are many more.

    Mike Tyson fight on Netflix

    CBS producing the game is not going to matter when it comes to if Netflix can keep up with the bandwidth or not. There was 0 issues with the feed going back to Netflix for the Tyson fight, nor the feed going from Netflix to DirecTV for bars. Nor will there be any with the feed going to OTA...
