    Renewing Pub membership error?

    I went under the Pub Membership section of my account and saw my membership expires 1/30/26. So I clicked "Extend," logged into Paypal, and extended it. The $21.99 is pending on my debit card, but there's no record of the transaction in Paypal, I didn't get the usual Paypal email receipt, and my...

    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...

    CPU usage while streaming HDR 4:2:2 feeds

    Currently streaming the HDR 4:2:2 FTA Nascar feed on 89 C-band using SMPlayer. The feed is streaming well, no breakup's, but I notice the CPU usage is at 100%. The process using the most resources is called MPV. I'm assuming this is a process SMPlayer uses to render video. Is this kind of CPU...

    From my archives: TM Programming demonstration reel

    From 1974. This was a demo sent to radio stations to try and sell them on the beautiful music (easy listening) format. Check out the "radio voice" on this guy.

    Review: consumer receiver natively tuning 4:2:2

    Picked up a GTMedia GTX Combo receiver from Ebay for $135 + tax. The unit is built on the Android platform and features a satellite tuner and a separate OTA tuner. First off: the OTA tuner scans in VHF frequencies, but won't scan in UHF for some reason. Not sure why, it is possible we are doing...

    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.

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...
