It should be noted that 99.9% of users don't care about your over-provisioning.

I disagree with you. Picture quality was poor on cable. Maybe yours was better but please don't tell everyone that quality was different because you said so.

I will make a note of that. Thanks for your clarification on the matter as it was extremely helpful.

That's not always the case.

ABC did use C-band for newsfeeds out to stations and some stations would use C-band to send stuff to ABC Newsone. ABC used network affiliate backhaul transponders to send newsfeeds during non-network programming. This happened weekdays starting after the 3pm ET soap finished. They dropped out...

This is driving me nuts but somehow I managed to get into a special menu that had lot's system info displayed. It is not a normal system menu selection but some keypress when in the settings menu to access it. The time I happened to discover it there was some good diagnostic stuff to look at...

I am glad Shaw can bill my U.S Visa card. Makes it easy to pay every month so I don’t have to worry about it

Snow fade!. We must be neighbors..

KIRO 7 in Seattle is running a crawl that January 14th is the takedown date.

I am still new to this site and Scott you do a great job running it and reporting on events in the satellite world. SatelliteGuys is a wealth of knowledge from all the members here for answers to questions and all around discussions. Definitely worth the money by becoming a member. Have...

Here in Minneapolis G1 has a great signal as it should have. I don’t know far south it goes but it probably goes down pretty quickly. I am planning to move in the spring to approximately 150 miles due south but definitely still in the footprint. At some point I do need to go to St. Louis so...
