This may seam a bit quirky but, in all the years I have worked in with satellites one of the things I started collecting at some point was satellite access cards and SIM cards for cellular networks.. I am looking to fill in a few empty spots in my collection. This has nothing to do with...

Here is a good read on how AT&T works the system.. Don’t believe a word AT&T says about net neutrality

So you need to pay close attention to where you are testing to!! What AT&T will do is put a speed test server in the IAX you are connected to. Let me give you an example of how this works.. It would be like you and I making a bet who can run to WalMart the fastest.. My WalMart would be 100...

Yea I had to order my DVR directly from Orby, the BestBuy and Target locations near me only stocked regular receivers..

Then your T.V. is momentarily switching to NTSC analog mode or the engineer who made the software thought it would be cool to use the snow as a screen switching buffer display.. You will never get snow on a digital signal.. The receiver will receive noise but it will not draw anything on the...

I am just going to toss this out there. Snow is the analog visual depiction of radiated electromagnetic noise that is randomly ingested into the front end of a receiver "AKA" your T.V. tuner. Your HDMI port has no tuner it is a digital signal it is on or off.. One of three things has happen...

That mount from Satellitesuperstore looks awesome.. But I can get the HH120 for about $165 shipped. I don't think the CM.90 dish is over 37lbs.. I am about to take the BUDs apart and replace some panels and get all this stuff working again.. Its been a hot min since I scanned the sky.. I...
