    Maybe a naive question

    Oh, and there was one other thing i wanted to say. In my experience, 24 hour channels usually use encryption other than biss. But, FEED, temporary services are almost always Biss. I think because Biss is so widely handled by different commercial units. And there might be other royalty issues...

    Maybe a naive question

    :hatsoff There is not much content. I think the option of having a Enigma2 satellite receiver, and streaming it to your pc is probably the most cost affective. But, you have to have a decent video card to play the 4:2:2... I haven't bothered with a 4:2:2 signal in years...

    Maybe a naive question

    Ricks posts all feeds that pop up. Whether it be watchable or not. Some are in 4:2:2 , which is only watchable on a PC, and others in Biss, other encryptions and some in FTA. Sometimes a specific weekly repeatable feed that is usually biss, 1 in 10 times might be FTA. But, i appreciate that...

    EPG discussion on Enigma2 STB's

    They modified their website, which broke the EPG, but on the positive side, they provide more detailed information and better anchors. I suspect there will be additional changes, as their website is a bit buggy. I was able to fix it and get it working again.

    Receiver setup trouble

    These are great.. I have like 6 of them running and have only had one fail, and it was because of a coax short. Not the units fault - and i keep them out side in wicked weather... https://www.ebay.com/itm/271413916025 As for those un-power ones.. I never got a signal off them either..

    Receiver setup trouble

    Are they powered or unpowered multi switches? If they are un-powered, i have never had any luck with those darn things. Regarding a powered switch - Always work for me - Hook two lines from the lnb to the multi-switch. Then the receivers plug into the multi-switch. Usually, a multiswitch...

    OTHER STAB HH-120 motor maintenance

    Is there a way to fix the back/forth play i have on my STAB 120? I have so much back forth play on it, often times i have to go past a satellite and back to it from the other side of the ARC to lock it in.

    EPG discussion on Enigma2 STB's

    Hmm, maybe i screwed something up in my URL call. I did try to omit as much as i could , so, maybe i took something out that i needed.. I'm not gonna bother with it unless i have issues with the current. I noticed one thing with the teleboy. It required an api-key or it wouldn't authorize...

    EPG discussion on Enigma2 STB's

    Are you sure the minutes are correct for you? - The correct shows, in the correct order, but if you look at the times, they are not correct for me. They are off by 20+ minutes of actual start/stop times. Regarding wedo site, yes - your correct, the viewable website only shows 2 hours of...

    EPG discussion on Enigma2 STB's

    This one was a bit tricky. This wasn't JSON, nicely formatted data, i had to decipher very non descriptive HTML. But, my Kung-Fu was strong. Teleboy.ch has the wrong TIMES! which was nicely formatted in JSON. TV listings – Wedo Big Stories - Teleboy (Times mismatched) Had to get it directly...

    Email from Amazon about Prime Video

    We live in the boonies.. They degraded Prime service years back. We used to get packages in 2/3 days, that ended, and when that happened, we canceled the PRIME. Where we live, There is no such thing as same day delivery. Right before we cancelled, it would take 7+ days to get a package with...

    Zgemma H9 series

    Okay, good news. I was able to firmware update..... First off, because of experience with my Axas STB, i quickly understood this unit is also USB Flash card finicky for firmware restores. To create the firmware file in the first place, through the GUI, clicked menu, chose setup, and then...

    Zgemma H9 series

    Last spring, the receiver i was using for the outdoor Radio took a dump. I replaced it with the cheap Axas HD enigma2 receiver i bought back a couple years ago. So, i no longer had a spare E2 receiver. When i saw the price and it was a UHD receiver and had a built in Wifi, i couldn't pass it...

    My New Dish Farm

    I have made this mistake a few times. I hook up a new dish, and i don't quite lock it down enough. The last dish i setup was @129w. We had a 3 day wind storm, and by the end of it, i couldn't lock Reuters. This was about 1 week ago. Today, freakishly warm, got outside and re-tuned the...

    What Happened to Everybody?

    Ill be here to the end... The truth is, im just too frugal. Our cost of living is less than 99% of people. One streaming service just doesn't cut it because no one streaming service carries everything. So, i bow out. This family doesn't subscribe to ANY streaming services. I love the news...

    My New Dish Farm

    I have a couple extra 39" inch dishes that i don't use. I figured it was better to hook them up than to let them continue collecting dust. I was aiming for some far east satellites, but came to the realization that the location i chose for one dish, which is where my USALS was, is probably not...

    Attempt at 15w

    On my 10' Mesh Cband Dish, I many many times locked 27.5w and watched the couple FTA channels that were on it. That is below 10 degrees for me. I also locked 22w at 7 degrees above horizon on a couple occasions, but only got the strongest signals on it. That was before i put in my 12' which...

    Attempt at 15w

    The location i chose to try and lock 15w wasn't a good location after all. The chosen location is best for west of 80 degrees. I ended up using that dish to lock down 129w. So, i have a fixed location at 129w. I have one more brand new in the box 39" dish I've had for about 3 years. Ill...
