    I think it's the driver that E.B. tweaked that's doing it.

    Happy New Year! The future of SatelliteGuys

    You can't, unless Scott opens that choice up again. It's happened at least twice, so you never know. Last time was January 2020 for about a week or so.

    Future of C-band Radio Content Distribution

    I already have the info, but it's not very useful. Here's the link: https://www.antennasearch.com/HTML/individual/regTower.php?registration_number=1331235 It looks like it's just been sitting there completely built for months. IF it's true they are simply waiting on fiber install, they...

    Future of C-band Radio Content Distribution

    https://www.rabbitears.info/kb/identifying_cellular_equipment That tower above is completely constructed and ready to go, but not active as of yet. It's definitely Verizon. I tried posting some pics I took of the tower, but for some reason, this forum turns them ALL sideways! Nothing fixes it...

    If you are a "Lifetime Supporter" you shouldn't see ANY advertising or popups. Or, buy a Pub membership, and they'll go away for sure this time! https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/account/upgrades

    Future of C-band Radio Content Distribution

    I have a new Verizon tower I scoped out for Trip of Rabbitears the other day. It's only 1.4 miles as the crow flies from our house. It's not live as of yet, (he suspects it's waiting for fiber to be installed) but once it is, it'll likely solve all our reception issues. Right now, we can only...

    Looking for a 10 FT BUD in Florida

    DVB-S2 8PSK and such needs MUCH more signal to keep locked. As the band shrinks, it'll get worse because they'll likely go to 16 or 32psk, which needs even larger dishes for more signal headroom.

    New Message on OTA station

    Check online for an update for your tv's system. Maybe there's a new one that'll fix it. It IS connected to the internet, correct? You are using a tv set with a 3.0 tuner, and not an outside 3.0 tuner device?

    AI is coming for your TV

    I turned all that OFF on my TCL Roku tv sets. It can be done, at least on those. I just re-checked them the other day, and it remains off.

    High Gain UHF TV Antenna ideas

    Yeah, I used them for years, until I replaced them with Televes 149884's. Which have built in preamps that also filter FM and 5g, AND are high VHF & UHF. The HDB91x's have very high gain, are UHF only, BUT it's highest up around channel 50, which is no longer there. They are ok, but they are...

    He does. However, I think it's Wayne Mack doing his "announcer/DJ" voice.

    Auction of the Upper C-Band Frequencies

    3.7–4.2 GHz C-band has FIVE 100Mhz 'blocks' of spectrum. It sucks, but them taking 180Mhz leaves 320Mhz, (20Mhz guard band, so 300Mhz left) and shouldn't really cause too many problem for companies that still use it. We as FTA enthusiasts are not the intended market, and they don't give a rip...

    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...
