    Windows 10/11 Download

    I have never had BitLocker get automatically enabled and I have done plenty of installs of Windows 11, never even heard of that happening until reading it here and yep it seems somewhat common. I guess since I only have used 11 Pro and never signed in with a Microsoft account, it never impacted...

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    To me, the Dish Scape on 199 doesn't fit with November. It feels very Christmas like, or something that would be December. Outside the random dancing turkeys and the cornucopia, it doesn't have a Thanksgiving feel. The streaming one on 198 has much more of a Thanksgiving feel to it.

    Are you saying UNC is a Small school or a Big school ? They play with the Big Boys.

    YouTube TV Drops Disney’s ABC, ESPN and Other Networks After Two Sides Fail to Reach New Deal

    Correct, but those that DO WANT thier Sports DO WATCH IT. So your saying that 122M people are not watching NFL or College Football or MLB Baseball in the past month ? Also, how long do you have to have the channel on for it to count ? I go thru many games, stop and watch the interesting to...

    YouTube TV Drops Disney’s ABC, ESPN and Other Networks After Two Sides Fail to Reach New Deal

    Unless I'm doing something wrong, the ESPN with the Disney bundle won't let me watch the espn games today ... 😞 Not sure why ... is it possibly because I use Youtube Tv ? How do you get espn with OUT having to put in a Provider ? I get it thru my Verizon phone service, but it ask for your...

    Boston Blue (Blue Bloods Spinoff)

    I pretty much gave up on OTA network TV 10 years ago, stopped watching new shows but continues to watch shows I was already watching until they ended. I was down to just Blue Bloods and Bob's Burgers. But I decided to give Boston Blue a try, since I was watching Blue Bloods. I haven't watched...

    Can other OTA tuners with USB output work for DISH Hopper?

    Which tuner are you currently using from dish Network? The second generation was manufactured by Hauppauge is about the size of a USB thumb drive. The third generation was manufactured by Lark and is about the size of a 54 remote. I believe the Lark has a higher sensitivity to lock in fringe...

    Anyone planning to buy the iphone 17?

    I’m going to post this under the iPhone 17 thread, but I’m not sure if this showed up in iOS 26 or if it was in iOS 18.5 previously. I noted that there was this icon in the iOS Photos App that I hadn’t noticed before. Tapping it enables Spatial Scene, which lets you move your iDevice and show...

    Can other OTA tuners with USB output work for DISH Hopper?

    Thanks, they are pretty cheap on Ebay. It's worth a shot. My signal strength needs a very small boost to get those two channels consistently.

    Can other OTA tuners with USB output work for DISH Hopper?

    Thanks, that's what I thought, that there was no better way to improve the dongle. I'm on the eave of the roof and could have it installed 15 feet higher or with a tower like yours as the last step. I'm 40 miles out with thick woods and NBC and FOX will only tune on ATSC 3.0 reliably...

    Can other OTA tuners with USB output work for DISH Hopper?

    You could try a Hauppauge WinTV 950Q USB TV Tuner. IF you can still get one, as I believe it'll work with the Dish receiver.

    Can other OTA tuners with USB output work for DISH Hopper?

    Ok then. That's just about the best possible setup you could use. I have 3 of them myself, all combined with a SMARTKOM... I live in a very difficult neighborhood. The top antenna is at 42ft, and points North North-West.

    Can other OTA tuners with USB output work for DISH Hopper?

    Yes, it's a Televes DATBOSS Long Range Antenna with 5G Filter and pre-amp.

    Can other OTA tuners with USB output work for DISH Hopper?

    The Zapperbox uses Sony tuners, AND it has a built-in preamp front end to the tuners. That's why it does better. But, that's not usable as a Dish OTA tuner. Does your antenna system have a preamp on it?

    Can other OTA tuners with USB output work for DISH Hopper?

    You might have missed that the Zapperbox tuner performs better on 1.0 signal strength. I've maxed out my antenna with one of the best out there. I do believe some tuners are better, thus the question.

    Can other OTA tuners with USB output work for DISH Hopper?

    A better tuner isn't the answer, you need a better antenna system.

    Can other OTA tuners with USB output work for DISH Hopper?

    I have the proprietary DISH OTA tuner dongle with USB output and it tunes channels from my outside antenna. However, I have two channels that don't put out a strong enough signal to avoid hitting the "weak" signal strength in DISH and thus come in and out every so often. I've seen other...

    YouTube TV Drops Disney’s ABC, ESPN and Other Networks After Two Sides Fail to Reach New Deal

    I chuckle at the sport part. How many watch kids programming? News networks? I would say its 1/3, 1/3, 1/3. Not like Nickelodeon brings in 20 million viewers ever evening. Even Fox News who rule cable news is a small number for infotainment.
