Whenever I am trying to fix a circuit board I look for dull or grainy looking solder joints, which means that they could be cold solder joints. ... I lost my Edision OS Mio last year. Worked with it for a little while, then got frustrated and snapped the board in half. I think it may have been...

If it happens again, you might check for a bad connection somewhere. Could be a solder joint. If that is the case, simply melting the solder often cures the problem.

bombu, I have a motorized 8.5' BirdView. It's my second one. Am currently using it for KU band. I made a circular holder for a KU LNBF out of 1/2" expanded PVC (See photo). I also made a circular LNBF plate with two holes for dual KU / C-Band operation, but am not currently using it. Mine...

EnoSat, I can record the full TS to a file if you still need it - using my TBS6983. But first I need to find a line of sight to 180E from my backyard and put my 1.2 meter dish there. Maybe Sunday or Monday?

SOLD!

I am selling my lifetime TiVo for OTA with a 2 week guide. No monthly fees. And, of course, besides the program guide you can set it to automatically record shows. It is listed right here in 'SatelliteGuys Classifieds". I just dropped the price from $100 to $80 plus shipping.

Still for sale. Price drop to $80 !!

DRM is required so that they can make OTA a paid service. I believe that is the end goal. The FCC sold out most of C-Band to the cell companies, and it wouldn't surprise me if they let OTA transition to POTA (Paid Over The Air).

Agree 100%. The Pit is a not (currently) a place for respectful discussion. It is a place dominated by a certain political persuasion where they pounce on people who disagree with them. Unfortunately, what happens in the "Pit" spills over into the other forums -- bad feelings about those who...

Looks like it has all I would want. Can you skip commercials after pausing playback for a while?

I just checked and I can get AT120 (without locals) and a Hopper 2 Duo for $82.99 (price guaranteed for 2 years). Also saw something about a $200 gift card? $82.99 is the same as what I am paying for YTTV. Will have to check out the channel differences. I don't need locals because I have 3 TiVos.

The latter. Its the dual tuner version. Just name your price. I don't have any need to have it on my local network, nor outside of that so I leave it unplugged. I wish I had just gotten an Amiko Mini HD.
