    Shopping For A New TV

    I have a small Insignia brand TV from Best Buy in my kitchen. It is an Amazon Fire smart TV but is only connected to the roof antenna. I love it. It has a great picture and sound. The electronic program guide in my market of 65 channels goes forward almost one day on the channels that have it...

    Getting into HAM in 2024?

    For the HF bands, all my antennas are homemade dipoles and a couple of end feds for multiple band experimentation using recycled wire. The baluns and ununs and quality coax cable really are only a few hundred dollars. The radios on the other hand is where the expense comes in. Lately my...

    Another Spectrum Auction?

    Should the VHF low band ever be utilized again in my area, I'm ready. My huge antenna is still in use from 20+ years ago up on the roof. Overkill for modern needs. I miss the ducting events that were more common on analog low band TV with the DX by simply changing channels. It still happens but...

    OTA Recorder

    I have a few Tivo OTA Roamio models and one active with lifetime service. Not sure how long that will be but it still works fine and it was really inexpensive used several years ago. I like the EPG going out for the 2 weeks and makes it easy to not forgot something in the future. I also have...

    WYBN-LD Cobleskill, NY reception

    After writing, I heard back from the owner and it's a technical issue on the mountain and will be back soon.

    WYBN-LD Cobleskill, NY reception

    Has anyone else lost WYBN recently in the Hudson Valley area of NY? For the last several weeks, the TV14 signal on RF26 has been 0 dB for me. Not sure if something changed. The signal was fine until one day it was gone. Reception of all other local channels remains unchanged. Just curious...

    No Video on my Edision OS Mio+ 4k

    My original Edision Mio 4K developed an issue with the output power for the LNBF several years ago but is still used to this day for PVR duty with the USB Hauppauge ATSC tuner. I purchased a second unit, used from a member here and that one has been fine. After using this brand I wouldn't...

    Linux EHD Backup on E2 receivers

    Thanks guys. I was totally overthinking the process and forgot about the Filezilla program. It's been years since I used it or the Dreambox editors and it escaped me. The replacement HDD will be here Saturday and I will continue over the weekend.

    Linux EHD Backup on E2 receivers

    I find the aging EHD I use on my Edision Mio 4K is nearing the end of it's life cycle. Curious what method other users utilize for duplicating or backing up recordings. I know the receiver can move recordings between drives one at a time easy enough. What about running a command line in a Linux...

    Any one not getting the Weigel channels?

    I guess I should have waited a few more weeks the solve my 5G interference and not bothered. At least I know it's possible to address the 5G issue if that helps others in their decision making. I just waited to long to fix my 36 year old dish. Thinking that there are so few working C band dishes...

    C Band back up after 18 months

    I finally got my C band back up and running today. I haven't been active here in quite some time and started to take things down due to my 5G interference up on the hill here. Thanks to Brian I once again have C band after installing a Titanium C238 LNBF with the red filtering. It works great...

    Win a 2 LNB Add On Bracket Bundle for Ku Dish w/Amiko LNB and Pansat 4x1 DiSEqC Switch!

    I would like to enter the contest. I put up my first ku band dish in the 4DTV days to get the services on 99W over 20 years ago. Later when those channels went back to C band I bought a Fortec Lifetime Ultra receiver and repointed over to 123W for the RTN channels around 2009. I have...

    DSR922 Update

    I didn't think was anything left that model could receive. I still have my DSR922 for a backup dish mover but recycled a stack of other mpeg2 DCII receivers last year that all still worked but seemed to take up more space than they were worth in 2022.

    OTHER Ku band causing interference on amateur radio 2 meters

    In the family, my son and I both have FT2890R radios in our shacks. I programmed both with the RT Systems program using my Dell laptop and my laptop definitely causes that type of S9 RFI on the radios in my case. Using the same laptop with Chirp on other radios the same issues are evident and I...

    Mediasonic HomeWorx DTV Box with DVR - Updated Model Review

    It appears only by the channel selected as indicated at 6:35 in the video. I have a very similar earlier generic model that works very well with the same GUI. However, I use one of my Edision Mio4K boxes with the external USB tuner instead.

    ATSC 3.0 DRM Encryption

    My personal TV viewing habits in the last 2 years are mostly my local OTA TV since Orby closed down. I personally have no interest of being on the bleeding edge of any new technology in regard to simply turning on a TV and watching the available programming. Any thoughts about the possible...

    Free XM/Sirius

    It's been quite a while since I was a subscriber and I still get the Sirius XM emails and post cards all the time. On Nov. 18th I received the email stating the promo was running from Nov. 23 to Dec. 5 2022. I tried the 2 VW Jettas in the household and it currently is activated on both cars.

    New TiVo Interface sucks

    My Roamio OTA lifetime model frequently updates when doing the data refresh for the guide. It's only connected to the network occasionally and powered off most of the time unless needed. In the past 2 years mainly for the Decades TV channel weekend binges. After the rollback, I would be worried...

    Life After an Edision OS Mio+

    It's already been 2 years since I left Dish. I still have my owned VIP211K receiver with the EHD setup for occasional DVR use with about 1 TB of programming stored. It still works fine with the recordings. I disconnected the dish before cancelling the service. Once in a while I power it up to...
