    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...

    Control C-band actuator remotely?

    Are there any positioners out there that have a web interface to where the actuator could be controlled remotely from a different location? I can remote in to my computer via Remote Desktop and control the receivers, but how to move the dish? Currently using a Primesat PR1200 to move the dish.

    Any way to get rid of awful Anime image in TNAP?

    Is there a way to get rid of the awful stock image that comes loaded with TNAP 5.1? It looks like this software was programmed by teenage boys.

    T-Mobile Business.. WTF?

    Recently I remembered that I had an old T-Mobile business account based on my tax ID. The account is about 10 years old. It had been dormant for years, but when I heard about a promotion for an unlimited mobile internet line for $10 a month, I decided to call them up and activate one. It's been...

    Solved: the reason why 99 KU is such a funky satellite

    Look at the coverage contour map from SatBeams. This satellite provides great coverage for the east and west coasts, especially LA, NYC, Seattle, and cyberham's neck of the woods in Canada. It's weaker in the Mountain West, Southwest and Plains regions. This explains why I've never had good luck...

    OTHER Need recommendation on multi-receiver switch

    Would like to purchase a switch to select between 3 different FTA receivers. Need something with good isolation. A simple A/B/C switch seems to have "leakage." Any suggestions?

    OTHER The hunt for low symbol rates continues- professional receiver suggestions?

    We are looking at acquiring a used professional grade receiver that can tune low symbol rates down to 128. There are some on Ebay, but we aren't sure what to get. If anyone has recommendations, or knows of a place to get de-commissioned radio station broadcast units, please feel free to respond!

    Earthcam app on Firestick?

    Could someone with a Firestick verify that the Earthcam app works and plays video? I don't currently have one. Sure wish they wouldn't have yanked the app off Roku.

    Questions about the PBS mux on 99 KU

    Just curious who this mux is intended for. I know PBS feeds the News Hour nightly to affiliates on HD03, but who or what are the "national" East and West feeds for? Are there markets in the US without a locally produced PBS station that air the national feeds? Or are they just there for the...

    Super Bowl OTA vs Tubi streaming

    Been watching via Tubi on both my 55" Insignia 1080p TV and my 42" 4K LG set. Each is drawing about 13mbps. The LG is displaying the HDR flag, but I honestly think the picture looks better on the Insignia. Fox is upconverting 1080p60 HDR for fake 4K on streaming services. The Tubi feed does...

    T‑Mobile Opens Registration for Direct‑to‑Cell Satellite Service Beta Test with Starlink

    I enrolled today using my T-Mobile $10/mo prepaid plan. Coming on the heels of FCC approval, T-Mobile has opened registration for a beta program for T-Mobile Starlink, a direct-to-cell satellite service that will help eliminate dead zones by providing coverage for the 500,000 square miles of...

    PBS app video quality vs satellite

    I've noticed the video quality on the PBS World feed is much better in their app than the satellite feed on 99 KU. There's also a 24/7 NHK World feed in the app. I guess they don't source their app feed from satellite (I always assumed they did)

    No 5.1 surround on NFL game on Paramount+

    I have my Roku set to pasthrough audio to my AVR. Other shows on P+ have DD 5.1, but the KC @ BUF game shows only stereo. I switched it over to my local OTA feed on KCTV and it works perfectly. I was hoping to compare both side-by-side, but today P+ fails compared to OTA.

    Mike Tyson fight on Netflix

    I've been watching for about 45 minutes. They seem to be having capacity issues. I'm getting blurry picture and poor quality, just now the picture froze completely. I know this is their first live boxing event, but I don't think they were prepared for the number of viewers.
