    Auction of the Upper C-Band Frequencies

    Well, my take is, it's a hobby for most of the members of this site. If the broadcasters feel it's important enough and in their best interests to protect the spectrum, they'll lobby and plead their case. Nothing the rest of us can do. I guess the silver lining (if any) is they don't want KU...

    They tend to go after the sellers/streamers/bundlers whatever you would like to call them.

    Android streaming box

    They retransmit video channels as IPTV streams, package them and sell them as cheap subscription packages It's the retransmission and charging for it as a "legit" package that has Dish and the FBI upset about it.

    Looks like Netflix/Warner Bros. is happening. (or maybe not.)

    It was FM radio before that. Clear Channel (now iHeart) was allowed to swallow up a majority of terrestrial radio stations in nearly all markets in the late 90's. Now radio is sh*t.

    Silicondust launches Grand Slam MDU TV

    Ballsy, considering OTA as we know it may be disappearing. No mention of ATSC 3.0 or DRM compatibility in the specs. A bargain at only $16,000! https://www.silicondust.com/commercial/mdu/ https://shop.silicondust.com/shop/product/mdvr-16t250/

    Using commercial receivers for recording?

    Does anybody have any experience with that Octagon SF8008 Supreme dual tuner receiver that Rick is selling? Can it output TS files? It appears to be similar to the Edision receivers that have a WebIf interface and streaming capabilities. https://rickssatelliteusa.com/sf8008supreme.htm

    For anybody interested, here is the back of the Arris: And the back of the Ericsson (below it is an old Tandberg receiver)

    Using commercial receivers for recording?

    On the Ericsson and Arris receivers, the WebIf port is only to control the receiver; it can't stream video on that port that I know of.

    Using commercial receivers for recording?

    I appreciate all the information, and it's also fascinating to talk to someone who worked at a high level in the industry. The Arris and Ericsson receivers we have are obviously capable of more functionality than I'll ever be able to utilize, but I am learning. Unfortunately the network we're...

    Using commercial receivers for recording?

    That's ok, it doesn't need to record if I can capture the stream on the PC.

    In a nutshell, it won't do what I want it to do, right?

    Using commercial receivers for recording?

    This is the manual. It loses me at page 84 when it refers to the "destination IP address."

    Using commercial receivers for recording?

    Yes I think it can, but where is it sending it and how do you access it?

    Using commercial receivers for recording?

    PS this is related to my previous thread from September about streaming directly from receivers to PC without transcoding. So far it seems only the Edision is capable of this. https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/streaming-from-receivers-to-pc.417956/ Hoping either the Ericsson or Arris...

    Using commercial receivers for recording?

    I've been using my Edision OS Mini 4K to record TS files, and it does a great job. The issue is it only has one tuner. I would like to be able to record TS files for both C and KU from the same receiver. I then use TSReader to anaylze the streams for bitrate and other modulation parameters, or...
