    NFL Network critics

    The NFL wants their channel to be on a regular tier, at 70 cents for every subscriber in the cable company. The cable companies say "no" we are not charging everyone for a channel that will only show 8 games a year and rehashed stuff the other thousands of hours. It must be on a sports tier...

    Is one or both of the OTA Tuner inputs on the HR 20 powered?

    Agreed. :up I didn't miss that point, as I wasn't commenting on that point.

    Is one or both of the OTA Tuner inputs on the HR 20 powered?

    That is not correct. It has been proven time and again that diplexing OTA on to a 5LNB dish cable works just fine, as long as the BBC is input after the multiswitch and before the diplexer. Then, diplex it out again at the HR20, one to sat and the other to OTA. (There is no reason the BBC has to...

    New Software found (01BE)

    Yup. Besides being annoying, that's the best reason for turning that light ring off. You always know when you got a new s/w update! Got 0x1B Tues at 3am and DoD was up and working for us Tuesday after work!

    The "perfect" SlimLine apartment balcony install

    Very slick! If you are worried at all about any high wind movement, you could get some of those long plastic cable-ties they sell at places like Home Depot. Use 2 of them, in a X, around the pole to the balcony top railing. That would stop any torsion up higher.

    Led Zeppelin set for reunion gig in London

    That should be some concert! If you want some rare, live and legal tracks from a concert they did in Southampton in 1973, then go here: BigO Worldwide They do not keep stuff like this up forever, though. It's some awesome music, and includes a great medley of Whole Lotta Love (including...

    Welcome New Members! (Please Say HI here!)

    G'day! Been a member of various other A/V forums for years. Found this one while seeking info on a (future) difficult mount for a new Slimline dish, when I upgrade from my HR10-250. The DishMount gold sponsor folks were able to help me out. And, they returned a call to me within the hour...
