    Comet HD horizontally squeezed

    I have a crazy thought could Dish be using a net stream of Comet instead of rebroadcasting the satellite feed? Sent from my SM-S205DL using the SatelliteGuys app!

    What was your favourite memory of a feed or channel on cband before channels got scrambled ?

    Man oh man I loved the old C Band days. I was 13 years old when my dad got our Satellite dish. The Rcvr was a Drake ESR-324 with a 10 foot Paraclips dish. Was cool watching HBO unscramble. Watching wrestling on Saturday nights on WTBS. Watching westerns on CBN. My dad eventually got a Houston...

    VoltAir Question

    The other day me and my Fiancee were running errands so while she was in some of the different stores I decided to tune around the FM band. I decided to check out some of the Charlotte NC stations. Man oh man some of them sounded over modulated with a ringing sound. The ringing sound didn't...

    The YouTube TV Thread

    YTTV launched in my area (Columbia SC), but is missing some of the key channels me and my fiancee like. If they had such channels as ID and a few others I would give it a shot as they have all our local channels. For now Philo still wins out.

    IHeart App Question

    She can't get it to do nothing. It is as if there is no internet connection. Pandora works just fine so not sure what is wrong. I'm about 50 miles from her so tinkering first hand is hard. The last time I had DirecTV was 7 years ago with an HR24 so lots have changed.

    IHeart App Question

    Thanks everyone. She tried everything still a no go. Not sure if it would help, but I suggested she call DirecTV tech support to see what they could do to help.

    IHeart App Question

    Alrighty she said she use the activation code and still a no-go. Not sure if it might be internet-related but like I say she is using Windstream.

    IHeart App Question

    Hey guys I am asking this question for a friend of mine. She has an hr44, and is trying to use the iHeartRadio app on the genie. Is there a trick that needs to be done to make it work, or is there a glitch with the app itself. She has Windstream Internet with 12 Meg down so it should be plenty...

    DirectvNow question

    For the past 60 days I have been enjoying a 90 day free trial of Sling TV. I have enjoyed it very much, but think I would like to try DTVNow. For live shows ie Sports, Live News or shows such as Live PD does DTVNow stream them at 60Fps or is it simular to sling where everything looks like a...

    At least Viacom did not purchase them. I could see Catfish the House Hunting and Cooking show.

    Took The Plunge

    Almost a week in and I'm hooked with sling. Have gotten used to how things work and glad a true guide is now functioning. Was able to get the blue+4 pack deal so for 35 dollars once my 90 day free trial is over I will be set. I have only had two issues of buffering and it was just a glitch. I am...

    It is under my landlords account so I don't wanna bother them. They have everything uverse offers plus 24 meg internet as apart of our rent. Sent from my Lenovo YT3-X50F using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Took The Plunge

    Was curious. Did not know what to expect. It is for our TV in our bedroom so picture quality is not a big issue. Where we rent we get free uverse TV and internet, but the TV part is in the living room so sling is for the bedroom. I took sling blue with comedy pack so if I keep it 29.99 is...

    Took The Plunge

    This past Sunday I purchased a TCL Roku TV. Once I set everything up I checked out some of the free offers that came with the TV. When I logged in I saw the usual 7 day free trials, but my fiancee found a free offer inside the TV box itself for Sling TV that was for 90 days. Today I activated my...

    What stuff did you watch on the big dish back then?

    Green sheets was hosted by the late Sean Kenny. He also hosted "yellow rain" which talked a lot about VCII. SelecTV went off the air due to money troubles in the summer of 89. They were owned by Amway at one time and was at one time the sister channel to the Starion Movie Channel. I may be wrong...

    What stuff did you watch on the big dish back then?

    In the early 80's we watched pretty much everything. In the mid 80's I found FM America with Keith Lamonica which made for interesting listening as it was on the American EXXXtasy channel with a sub carrier of 6.2. At that time they were still using Telis encryption and not VCII. I loved the...

    Best Processed Audio

    About 20 years ago I helped set the audio for our oldies station. It was a process that took a few months to get just right. We were running an 8200 and the CE set it to the oldies preset. It was lifeless, boring, and just missed the mark. This was a small station so tinkering was a lot easier...

    Best Processed Audio

    The 8100's were amazing. Even if you wanted loud audio back in the day it never fatigued you like today's processing does. Hyper compressing of music does not help matters either. I will give you guys a listen. I love unique stations that offer something different. My old ears may not be as...

    Best Processed Audio

    Over the years of radio listening and employment in radio I have always been one of those people who love great audio processing. The other day while my fiancée was running errands I listened to some of the stations here in central South Carolina. Both IHeart and Cumulus owned stations had...
