    FCC C Band Dish Registration

    This kind of naysaying is why people didn't register in 2018. There was a huge fee ($495 -- that's more like $1,000 now after all this inflation in the past 7 years) and people said there would be no benefit to doing so. Indeed, the FCC didn't say there would be any benefit to registering your...

    FCC C Band Dish Registration

    Hey all, I was wondering if anyone who has had experience with registering their C-band antennas with the FCC might be able to help out. I have completed all of Form 312 and Schedule B and have them saved as drafts in the ICFS, but it is my understanding that all C-band registrations need...

    Another Spectrum Auction?

    FYI... per the "big beautiful bill" passing, there will indeed be another spectrum auction. https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1/text tl;dr: Trump and his party just cleared the way for the FCC to auction off the rest of the C-band spectrum, and in fact they have made...

    Cox, Charter merging?

    Charter has a lot more fiber and 5G competition in their footprints than Cox. It would make no sense for them to implement data caps. Fixed wireless 5G Internet sucks but I would definitely go with it over a cable connection if the cable connection had a data cap. That's a good way for them to...

    Nintendo and Nvidia Compete in Scumbag Competition - WAN Show May 9, 2025

    Nintendo is one of the most evil corporations to ever exist. I'd gladly give thousands to Nvidia before I'd give Nintendo a penny.

    C Band and a 120cm dish... pointless?

    I think you could get NHK World HD @ 58W with that dish if you put a PLL LNB on it and get it peaked well. It is one of the easiest C-band feeds to receive and actually might be the single best 24/7 channel on C-band FTA too! Lots of interesting new content aired there every day, and their web...

    Everything Just Got More Expensive - WAN Show May 2, 2025

    I'm going to miss being able to laugh at Europeans for their crazy VATs. All these essential components we use for our hobbies are going to inflate in price with these massive federal level sales taxes and for what? We aren't even getting good social programs out of the deal. All these $$$ taken...

    The FCC heard you! Encryption is one of the things they are looking at for the ATSC 3.0 transition.

    >Conservative-led FCC doing anything that's in the consumer's best interest Hah! Good one.

    007 Sean Connery 4K 6-Film Collection

    Already have those in 4K sourced from Amazon and they look pretty good. Will be nice to replace them with remuxes from the 4K Blu-rays. They should do a Pierce Brosnan collection too.

    Netflix offers HDR10+

    Hah. No they didn't. Are you telling me that you aren't running a self-hosted VPN service on your basement server that you have all of your friends and family connect to prior to using your shared streaming service subscriptions so that all of the traffic gets routed through a single residential...

    Netflix offers HDR10+

    Netflix is that much in Burgerland now? Damn. I have a Mexican account and it's only $16 a month (329 pesos) for the 4K plan. Still a better value than cable TV ever was! 🤢 Just split the cost of your subscription with all your friends and family members who you let share the account! Four...

    More news on ATSC 3.0...

    Well, good luck getting policy that serves the public interest out of this FCC. It's all about who's got the fattest wallets. The cell phone companies who want to steal the rest of the C-band and the big broadcasters who want DRM on OTA broadcasts will be getting their way.

    It's That Time Of Year - Sun Outages

    They're already over for me. Thankfully they happen at non-peak television programming times.

    ABC does some chopping

    Nobody watches these broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX) for news. It's all about the scripted programming and sports. People interested in the news watch PBS and people interested in biased news watch Fox News.
