    I know this will ruffle some feathers but,,,,

    But thank God for the Youtube people that post videos on how to fix appliances and such. They have literally saved me THOUSANDS of dollars. We are still running a 21~ year old Maytag washer because of that, that would otherwise have been junked 3 years ago. Could I have fixed my stuff without...

    I know this will ruffle some feathers but,,,,

    Same with me. The first time they went live and I had like 692 (maybe more!) posts suddenly showing in the "What's New" list, I zapped it all. I have no desire to see any of that.

    Where Am I?

    I have a nephew that lives there. I'm bleary eyed right now due to a bad respiratory infection. I stupidly didn't wear a mask when I last did leaves two weeks ago, and it got me bad. Black lung. I can't count the dishes. I'm on a steroid and a Z-pack

    5g interference

    Are you SURE your issue is 5g interference, and not something else going on? Of course IF it really is 5g interference, maybe your dish is pointing right at a node really close to your dish, OR, your local 5g is out of band. You'll need a spectrum analyzer to check all that. IF you have a 5g...

    Micron is killing Crucial SSDs and memory in AI pivot — company refocuses on HBM and enterprise customers.

    "In keeping with the spirit of times, Micron on Wednesday announced plans to wind down its Crucial consumer business worldwide by the end of February 2026. The company is reallocating its output and investments to enterprise-grade DRAM and SSD products amid growing demand from the AI sector."...

    Still Fighting Intermittent Interference

    I use a 12" laser level clamped on the scalar so the laser beam is exactly in the center of the hole. Then you make any adjustments so that the beam beams to the dead center of the bowl of the dish itself. And/Or: simply use a tape measure at 4 points around the scalar, and measure to the edge...

    Any '25 Black Friday Peacock Deals?

    Well, I just used a McDonald's Monopoly winning game piece code, to re-subscribe to Peacock for two months for FREE. After the end of the two months, it auto-renews month to month. I'll just cancel before that happens, or perhaps there will be a cheap yearly offer coming out eventually.

    Rest NTSC mode on Octagon SF 8008

    NECO is really probably supposed to be "RECO" short for "RECOVERY" mode... Just a mistake, or due to the way the display works making the first character look like an N.

    Any '25 Black Friday Peacock Deals?

    Ok, I've heard on Reddit that anybody that canceled their $19.99/yr Black Friday special and it expired, you can contact Peacock via their live chat messaging system and ask IF you can also get the $39.99/yr special that was offered to others when they canceled. Even IF you didn't get that...

    OTHER Loses signal in the afternoon on SES 2?

    Well, in that case, bigger dish, and/or better aim might help.

    Any '25 Black Friday Peacock Deals?

    They were speculating, but they were wrong. As of right now, there's NO $19.99 Black Friday special for Peacock. Mine expired this past Tuesday, so we are OUT. I'm not even paying for the Walmart deal, because we couldn't really use it for anything else. So much Walmart stuff is now counterfeit...

    OTHER Loses signal in the afternoon on SES 2?

    What LNBF are you using, and what transponder frequency has the issue?

    Rest NTSC mode on Octagon SF 8008

    What image is it running? Should have a Webif. IF it's on your network, bring up a browser, and type in the IP address for the receiver, and hit enter. See what happens. Like mine is 192.168.1.15 Worse gets to worse, just start hitting different buttons on the remote, and see if it comes back...

    Rest NTSC mode on Octagon SF 8008

    Does it have a Webif, like the Edision Mio's so you can bring up the screen in a browser, and navigate the menu to fix it?

    Looking to buy a new setup

    I've driven farther than that one-way for a dish. Maybe the OP would like a nice days outing, and pick it up himself... SatJoe44

    Looking to buy a new setup

    I bought one of those $50 3ABN dishes at the same time. I also still have it, but it's not installed now.

    There's this, if you are up to a road trip, or have somebody in that area and can meet halfway or something: FOR SALE - 10' C-band and 1.2m Ku dishes, etc.

    Red-necked automatic Psip ATSC EPG grabber

    Just bring it up to EB. If he doesn't know about it, he can't fix it. He's a real reasonable guy. Let him help you. I was the beta-tester on the original TNAP, and he's great to work with IF you are willing. Don't assume that he already knows that there's a problem with the 955q, I've seen...

    Red-necked automatic Psip ATSC EPG grabber

    Is it in the plugins you can download? If not, you'll have to ask El Bandido, as I don't know. I stopped using my Hauppauge tuner on my Mio a long time ago. Last image I used it on, was TNAP 4.2. I use mine for satellite, and nothing else.
