You were correct. I updated the file attachment in Doctor J's post above.

Oh! It's Wednesday again! I will look into what happened with Doctor J's data and analysis this morning.

Our present Datadigester team has enough work in keeping this satellite transponder map going, in addition to managing the Cuttting Edge Forum. If someone else wants to provide a similar service for the DirecTV Stream side, that would be great.

upcoming WNBA games on both my local ION channel and #05-1 and 305-2 are now shown shown in Sports Central under Basketball, towards the end of the list.

The application for renewal of its license is for 5 years, until August 23, 2030. The application states that it will have enough fuel until 2035, but the FCC wants renewals in 5 year increments, according to the application.

I overlooked that there are 15 Fast APG PIDs (SCIDs) on TPN 5 for 15 local markets . They are probably not going to convert that TPN to HD. The transponder has been on and off this morning. When up, It has a solid DSS modulated multiplexed digital signal, but there are no audio or video...

101 TPN 5 has been cleared of any channels in the Guide. I checked the transponder. There iare no Audio or video streams there this morning, only the normal slow APG data that is on all Ku band SD transponders. Something is about to be changed. Perhaps converting it to A3 modulation and HD...

OK, I was wrong. I am too used to the Gemini client. On a HR44 or HR54 the PIP option is on the channel banner brought up by the INFO button. The various position options for the PIP picture are all "ON" buttons. So you can select where you want it when you turn it on, or if it is on, you...

It might help to get a time machine. I'm not sure where you found the PIP option in recent Genie software. What version of software is your HR44 running? Stuart Sweet wrote a blog about PIP a couple of years ago. You can read it by clicking on THROWBACK THURSDAY: When picture-in-picture...

I looked into it. I can't create content in Excel (Microsoft 365) that uses Eurostile, because it it is not an available font in a fresh Windows 11 and Microsoft 365 install. I don't add extra fonts to my system installs. It's the information that is important, not the font.

That's because It was tun on a different system. Gary was unavailable on Wednesday, so I ran his Excel software on my PC. I'm not sure why our default fonts are different.

I don't log into my DirecTV account on the web often, just now and then to see my bill, which is paid automatically. For that, I just need my userID and password. But this past week, while I was away from home I was using the DirecTV app on my phone and Roku, and had to verify my login each...

I whole heartily agree with you, and I would encourage DIRECTV Product Engineering to allow women's sports to be included in "My teams" at both the NCAA and Women's pro sports level. However I have not heard anything from them on this matter. They do monitor the forum, and I hope they...

Weekly Analysis for mar 12, 2025:

That hasn't shown up in the satellite APG data as of tonight (Friday).
