    Outside the box idea: Shut down the Pub, migrate all Pub posts to the public forum, make donations optional. Then you achieve sponsorship + ad revenue If an incentive is needed for sponsorship, we could brainstorm other ideas..

    The FCC Will Allow ABC, CBS, FOX, & NBC TV Stations to Shutdown Free ATSC 1.0 & Switch to ATSC 3.0 Only

    "Want to know what comes next for ATSC 3.0? That depends entirely on whether broadcasters can remember they're in the business of serving communities, not just monetizing spectrum." It's not that they can't remember, it's that they don't care.

    The FCC Will Allow ABC, CBS, FOX, & NBC TV Stations to Shutdown Free ATSC 1.0 & Switch to ATSC 3.0 Only

    It reads as if she's dissenting, but it was a "unaninous" decision? I'm truly confused here.

    Besides ads, the Pub is how the site makes money to stay afloat, so if nobody buys Pub memberships, wouldn't that hurt the site even more?

    Also, anyone with Walmart+ can get Peacock for free, just FYI.

    Reddit is trash. It's full of bots, p0rn, bots, hate speech, and is largely unmoderated. I refuse to make an account there. It reminds me of IRC (if anybody remembers that). Edit: did I say 'bots' twice? Meh. I'll leave it that way. 😁

    It seems to me that our three main competitors are: https://legitfta.com/ https://www.linuxsat-support.com/board/1-linuxsat-infocenter/ https://www.sat-universe.com/index.php All three of these sites seem to be healthy and doing well. What could we emulate?

    The AVGN has switched sponsorships from ExpressVPN to SurfShark in latest AVGN video.

    Thanks for clarifying, I was wanting to make sure it wasn't the Adult Video Game Network or some such thing before I went clicking around ;)

    Review: consumer receiver natively tuning 4:2:2

    Just a couple things to keep in mind, Be sure to turn LNB power "off" on the slave receivers Also, the slave receivers will only "see" the polarity V or H that the master receiver is currently tuned to The splitter works great, we use the V9 as the master for KU and have an Amiko, Edision...

    Review: consumer receiver natively tuning 4:2:2

    We use this 4-way splitter which has power pass on only one leg. This way you could make the V9 your "master" receiver and have up to 3 "slave" receivers :) https://www.amazon.com/Steren-201-234-Splitter-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B000E9U8H2
