    My brother uses them on their "Dark Star" network (ATT) and he is very happy with it.

    If anybody wants any advice or suggestions on how to set something like this up, let me know. It's all mostly used parts from Ebay, with the exception of the V9 receivers.

    I'm not sure how to compare, as it isn't possible to stream directly to TSReader.

    We picked up a cheap 3-screen monitor on Ebay. Now we can monitor the Tandberg, Ericsson and Arris receivers all at the same time.

    It's interesting that when you record a TS stream to a flash drive from the receiver(s), the result is uncompressed.

    Is the receiver transcoding or the PC?

    Streaming from receivers to PC

    I've noticed that streaming from a receiver like the Edision or the GTMedia V9 to my computer produces a stream with a lower bitrate than the originating feed. For example, streaming ABC 4:2:2 from 97 or 99 C-band from the Edision looks grainy on the PC. I've tried VLC, PotPlayer, SMPlayer and...

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

    Station ownership is the issue. We're down to just a handful of station group owners and they are slowly consolidating local programming to their regional hubs. God forbid something newsworthy happens in your town and they need "boots on the ground" to cover it.

    Anyone planning to buy the iphone 17?

    Same here. Many advantages to buying an unlocked phone.

    Anyone planning to buy the iphone 17?

    Yep. My parents had a bag phone and they waited until ATT told them they *had* to upgrade.

    Anyone planning to buy the iphone 17?

    I have it. It costs me $11.49 per month for my iPhone 16. Since I pay cash for my phones it makes sense since I would be out of pocket for any damage or loss not covered by warranty.

    Explain the 3.0 debate (likely scenarios)

    Let's take tonight's Chiefs v Chargers game, for example. There's no good reason why this game shouldn't be OTA. Anywhere except Kansas City and Los Angeles, you have to watch it on YouTube. If you're in one of those two cities, you can watch it over the air. Absolutely stupid. Show it on both...

    Need some help - 8 foot Unimesh install

    No joy opening the URL from the M3U file in either VLC or PotPlayer, unfortunately. Typing it into a browser renders the following: I can open individual URL's from the M3U file in VLC and PotPlayer, but this isn't very useful for direct entry in a streamer or TV app; the URL is really long.

    KKAB-DT is now on the air in metro Albuquerque!!

    That's a solid preamp. I used one for years when I lived south of Kansas City with great success.

    Have you tried adding a preamp? At your distance from the towers, it could improve reception even with indoor rabbit ears. I've done a lot of experimentation with indoor, outdoor and attic antennas, my last location was about 42 miles from the towers.

    I was able to scan in 111 channels; current antenna is a 2-bay antenna mounted on the side of the house pointed at the Sandias.

    In order to stream from the V9, the M3U file needs to be loaded onto the Apple TV device somehow and played through VLC. But it sounds like it works. Probably easier using an Edision, just point VLC to the local IP of the receiver. I just don't have an Apple TV to test any of this.
