    Can Anyone Identify This Trap?

    If I had to guess I would say it's supposed to block 14, 18, and 28 through 35 unless the + means it allows 28 though 35. If memory serves me right back in the early 90's on many cable systems HBO was on channel 14 and Showtime on channel 18. This may have been used on Paragon cable along...

    Can Anyone Identify This Trap?

    Oh I have one of those too. It blocks 2-72. Was used for internet only service before all the channels were encrypted. Can still be used to prevent receiver sharing to internet only addresses. I'm not sure what the notch filter blocks because I've tested it on the line and can't find...

    Can Anyone Identify This Trap?

    But the question is what channel(s) does it filter? I'm guessing it would be used by a hotel or hospital to mix the local analog CATV service and add in some of their own channels on the same line feeding the rooms?

    Can Anyone Identify This Trap?

    I'm thinking it could be a notch filter rather than a band trap?

    D11 outage 2/27/2024 (Resolved on 2/28)

    Question. Would it be possible for them to go back to Ku only if their next generation of receivers and all channels were switched to HEVC/H.265 ? Even if not, moving to HEVC/H.265 would allow them to continue offering service with less satellites correct?

    It reads: DWHP-14 18+28/35

    Converting from "via Satellite" to "via Internet"

    Thank you. That fixed C-SPAN but it still does not add channels like NewsMix, SportsMix, and KidsMix. Too bad the streaming app can't just let you make your own mix channels.

    Converting from "via Satellite" to "via Internet"

    I'm subscribed to the satellite service but I use the DirecTV streaming app on extra TV's and I must mention that several channels I have on the satellite service are missing from the streaming app. Most notably, C-Span.

    D11 outage 2/27/2024 (Resolved on 2/28)

    Not everyone lives somewhere with internet access (or at least uncapped access that's fast enough for streaming). Hope someone offers a new 5DTV C-Band option when DirecTV and DishNet go defunct.

    Geez, how did they get by in the days of OTA only with very limited cable availability?

    Nexstar/Mission/White Knight dispute with DIRECTV

    I hope NewsNation comes back on the BASIC package along with literally ALL the other news channels. I've never understood why it's the only news channel that is not included in the basic cable package.

    Paying for HD Still. Seems like I am alone..

    How does directv stream work with more than one IP for the household? and what about different VLAN's? How do they determine locals? Is there a GPS chip in the receiver? When I log into and use the RoKu DirecTV app with my DirecTV satellite account log in it gives me the locals of the...

    OTA Tuners with guide question

    Run a PLEX server with a OTA turner (dual or quad recommended) then play them from that on your TV's with any streaming device that supports the PLEX app.

    Is There Any Way To Get NewsNation (ex WGN) Without Upgrading To Choice?

    That's only a 5 minute preview. Requires you to "connect to your TV provider" and DirecTV is not even a option on that if it were in my subscription. They have no option to pay them directly for access.

    Is There Any Way To Get NewsNation (ex WGN) Without Upgrading To Choice?

    I'm not seeing it in any of them... https://www.nexstar.tv/stations/ Might have used to been. I checked and it's part of "basic cable" with both local cable companies (Spectrum and Grande) but AT&T/DirecTV it's not. All "news" channels should be part of "basic cable" with all pay TV providers...

    Is There Any Way To Get NewsNation (ex WGN) Without Upgrading To Choice?

    I can't believe NewsNation (ex WGN) is not part of "basic cable" (Select/Entertainment). I watched Chris Cuomo's new show was on YouTube and I doubt every future episode will be on there so now I'm really needing the channel and to upgrade to Choice would be over $20/mo more due to the RSN fee...

    Retention? More like rejection!

    So much free stuff to watch with just a OTA antenna and a ROKU. Even better with a PLEX server with tuner connected to your OTA antenna.

    Star Trek: Picard

    On another subject. I did not care for the season 2 opening credit music. I loved the season 1 music. I'm wondering what season 3's music will be. I'm hoping it's either based on season 1's or is based off the TNG theme or the movie variation used on GEN/FC/IN/NEM.

    HD-DVR died, anywhere I can buy a new HR-20, HR-24 etc?

    If I'm buying a new LNB I might as well invest in a reverse band. I think you missed the 1st half of Post 45... I also wouldn't want to buy a new LNB just to find out they won't activate the HR54.
