Story from my local TV station. Sad day as I could have put one or two of those to better use. ;)

It's not often you see a link or news item about a satellite uplink related lawsuit, but here's one that came across my screen concerning PIT on Galaxy 19 Ku-band: Lawsuit: Persian broadcasting company from N.Y. did not pay for satellite transmissions

Does anyone know for sure what the "TEN S.E." channel or service is? It shows up in a few Turner Broadcasting digital distribution signals and I keep looking over the Turner corporate site and don't see anything obvious in the list of their U.S. and international channels. I keep wanting to...

I noticed on C-band that Dog TV is gone from the signal they used to be in for distribution. My Q - is Dog TV still active on DIRECTV or is the channel gone for good? I don't subscribe to Dog TV on my DIRECTV system so I won't be able to answer the question myself until another freeview...

Tribune Broadcasting has just acquired a 50% stake in THIS TV and will be handling the programming of the channel and moving operations to Chicago this fall. Knowing how Antenna TV distribution is encrypted, I wonder if THIS TV will be going into that Tribune mux and also encrypting, thus...

The local news always does more in-depth investigations during sweeps and on Thursday evening, the subject was about our U.S. government wasting money setting up and operating a FTA channel that is no longer in operation. Link to the video (or a transcript of the story if you would prefer to...

Now that my other ALi-based receiver released firmware that among other things supports low SR's down to 500, I am curious if that feature or work-around may ever make its way to the MicroHD. I realize the ALI chip in the microHD may not support a symbol rate that I would think is out of its...

I'm curious to know what your Venesat c-band reception reports are at this time as I have found a change I want to confirm. I'll explain in a day or two after a few reception reports. Thanks.

Feature request: An emergency resolution button (unless I've overlooked it). I loaded 8/29 firmware into my receiver, rebooted and I thought I was at the reboot hang issue that someone had reported. I hooked up my composite cable and saw good OSD video (proving it wasn't hung). I traced...

As you cycle through the LNB types, there is one called "Invaldi LNB Type" What is the LNB LO and default scanning range for that LNB type or does it just says "unavailable" if you try to use it?

There is a low SR signal (1000) that when I went to TP LIST and manually entered the parameters to lock and add the channels to memory, it takes about 10-15 seconds to lock and then when you hit "OK" to search to add the channels to memory, there is a NO PROGRAM FOUND. Since there is no signal...

I am going over to a friend's house to hook up his microhd and he uses a diseqc positioner and I"m doing some microhd receiver strategizing tonight to get more done quickly at his house. I am thinking I want to use the same diseqc motor position for the C-band side and Ku-band side of the same...

Just received this from NASA today: Jan. 13, 2012 Fred Brown Headquarters, Washington 202-358-0713 MEDIA ADVISORY: M12-007 NASA TV'S PUBLIC, MEDIA CHANNELS TRANSITIONING TO HD WASHINGTON -- Beginning Feb. 17, 2012, NASA Television's Public and Media channels will transmit their...

I noticed today that I am missing some channels and I have other channels. On those missing channels, info screens flash between "Total Signal Loss" and "Partial signal loss". For the history of my 625 with a dp plus 110/119 LNBF, I've had to reset the switch configuration about every 3 months...

just a heads up to try to avoid a lot of NASA TV audio questions on September 1st or so... NASA Television has a notice on their page that starting September 1st, the primary audio on each channel will be AC-3 instead of MPEG as the mux currently is configured.

I know there is a 136 page thread about the receiver, but it's unwieldly (IMHO) since I can't quickly find an answer to the question I have. Does the DVB-S2 blindscan work well? I would be buying this receiver as a thorough dVB-S2 blind scan receiver (speed doesn't matter to me if it's not...

1) I read the tutorial "sticky" about how to do firmware upgrades. Assuming I have the bins for the firmware that came with my box as well as the latest official firmware, is it possible to rollback the firmware to the older version if the current official firmware has a flaw that makes me...

It's been a pretty good week here! Weather is warming up, I'm between busy work periods, so I've checked out a few things with the Birdview I picked up from Radzoid and am inching closer to getting it in the ground. I've checked out the motor and the dish mount moves great, I just modified the...

I had an amazing moment of thought today about the NFL vs college football. I found a good way to rationalize how stupid the BCS system is and that a college football playoff is needed. See: If the NFL were like college football, the NFL would automatically make the Super Bowl the New Orleans...
