If you are using OM3 multi mode fiber (aqua cable instead of orange for OM1) you “should” be able to use a pair of the BlackMagicDesigns CONVMOF12G 12G SDI to Fiber converter ($165 ea.) and ADPT-12GBI/OPT 12G SFP+ ($395) on both ends to go up to 4Kp60 video over your length required. Replacing...

Give it the Alice in Wonderland quiz about brothers and sisters. I heard that is a big fail in the current generation of LLM AIs. https://futurism.com/logic-question-stumps-ai

First time I saw it was in the cafeteria of our Residence Hall while I was at Purdue. Disney, it was not! Bakshi came out with the PG-rated “Wizards” afterwards, a lot of fun for the DnD crowd, followed by “The Lord of the Rings”.

Scott, could you please make this adjustment to my Foxbat account? I would like to declutter my SatelliteGuys experience. Thanks!

I have Ignored them, but they still show up in The Pub thread count. If you have a way to remove them so any posts inside don’t show up in New Posts or on the Forum home page, that would be great!

As popular as The Pit is, maybe throw Ads in there. I would rather not have the Pit be part of this site, as I feel the discourse in there spills out and its spirit makes its way into the rest of the areas of the Forum. But Scott and Eva are in charge, and I find useful threads here and like the...

So, I asked if the replacement 211k arrived okay and if my Brother-in-Law was able to activate it okay. It arrived, but he’s leaving the replacement to me as the silver 211 seems to be working just fine, thank you very much. It really needs to be hooked up to at least verify that it’s working...

Thanks, Bruce!

Did you ever watch “Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow”? That was a really low-budget film that had most everything shot in green screen. Very few practical effects. It’s pretty cheesy, too, but it has almost all the Sci-Fi tropes from the mid-20th Century movies.

HDMI and CEC is great if your equipment is recent and talks with everything else, but my tech-adverse friend is not going to like me telling her if the $55 remote dies, she has to replace her entire entertainment center. Maybe not the Denon, but most everything else is over ten years old.

Well, I don’t know about you, but I have a Harmony Universal Remote and it works great for controlling all the devices in my Home Theater. The problem is the Harmony remote we have is old, experiencing polymer degradation (i.e., its soft-touch case is “sticky” to the touch), and it’s on it’s...

I think I might have to pay for more Netflix…

I see it as a way to expand my options while on vacation. An AppleTV 4K doesn’t take up much room in my Pipe-Full-o-Fun-Kit #7 (my bag of techno-goodies) and I have tested watching DVR and OTA content. We will see how well this works outside of our home.

I watched it on Netflix and it was all in English (except for signs and correspondence in Japanese which had English subtitles). The movie itself was fantastic! I grew up with the black & white “man in a rubber suit stomping through miniature Tokyo set” and the CGI was excellent. I heard this...

So, does watching Tyler’s videos on SatGuys screw him by showing these coming from a third-party?

Wow, thanks for letting us know! I’m trying it out now, watching “Twelve O’Clock High” I was finally able to record after putting the Timer in over three years ago. The controls seem to work nicely with the AppleTV remote. The video quality looks as good as from my Joey, and over the Gigabit...

Thanks, Scott!!!

It looks like Scott heard us…

That was part of the original troubleshooting. Of course, after ordering the 211k, by Brother-in-Law says it came back Monday morning and it’s been working okay since then. And then find out today that for $10 more, the Wally now can fall back to Internet streaming of a live Satellite channel...

Well, great, that sounds like an awesome feature to have. I wish I knew that was available before I replaced the 211 that flaked out with the 211k instead of the Wally.

I’m not sure if this is a Spring Cleaning victim or if it was one of the Plug-ins that got retired, but I no longer see the “Previous” and “Next” threads after the last post in a thread.

I’m not really liking how all the Social Influencers have all been combined into one Super Forum. I liked it better when each Influencer was organized by their own channel.

Is the 211 EHD compatible with the Wally? Or does it get re-formatted and you lose the programs on the EHD?

Well, after checking with my Brother-in-Law about the status of the ViP 211, I guess we're pronouncing it an "RiP 211" :rip The ViP 211k replacement has been ordered from Solid Signal, which is the same source for the 211k ordered back in November 2015.

Yeah, I kinda dropped the ball on that part of the story. I had thought that once it took the activation hit that it would be good, but a text from my Brother-in-Law a few hours later said the screen had gone black and it wouldn’t reset. The rest of the story can be found in the SatelliteGuys...
