    Leaving E* for Comcast

    Well, less than a week after testing signal strength for the Little Rock switchover to E*10, I'm leaving SBC/AT&T Dish; my Comcast install is tomorrow morning. I'm not that dissatisfied with E*, but I just upgraded from a 13" TV to a 27" HDTV; that obviously made E*'s PQ issues noticeable...

    Single-dish question...

    Having been away awhile, I have a few questions about the single-dish transition. I see that Little Rock's 148 wing locals are now mirrored on 129; I've also found that E*10 is supposed to launch in early February. The FCC hasn't ruled on single-dish since SHVERA except to say it doesn't apply...

    SHVERA is now law!

    The President has just signed the omnibus appropriations bill, including SHVERA, into law. The official White House press release: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/12/20041208-6.html This means all the "clocks" in SHVERA, from the 60-day clock for mailing "the letter" to distants...

    Is SAP subject to LIL must-carry?

    AETN, the statewide PBS affiliate in Arkansas, carries a service called Arkansas Radio Reading Service for the Blind on its SAP audio channel. I have E* with Little Rock locals. While watching the local AETN channel via E* during the Democratic convention, I tried looking for this service via...

    522 and USB keyboard

    I have read that the 721 has been made to work with a standard USB keyboard connected to the USB port. Has anyone tried this with the 522? I hooked an old Compaq USB keyboard to my 522; it doesn't seem to work. (Though I haven't tried it with the search function, perhaps the best use of a...

    522 interference problem

    I finally got the 522 I was supposed to get when I signed up for SBC Dish back in April. However, I am getting a very light herringbone pattern on every channel; I wasn't getting it on the 311. At first, I thought there was some kind of interference between two cables in my system. However...
