    WZME Bridgeport, CT (NY area) dropping MeTV for H&I 10/4

    Today. the Game Show (FiOS channel 184) briefly went into "squeezed" mode for about 5 minutes at around 8:15 am. Verizon must be tinkering

    WZME Bridgeport, CT (NY area) dropping MeTV for H&I 10/4

    WZMETV replied that "stations up-convert it to HD and that often solves the problem since all HD is considered 16:9. We cannot do that because we are locked into the SD tier on all of our cable and satellite outlets." I have found that I also have the same problem on Cine-Moi but Grit-TV works...

    WZME Bridgeport, CT (NY area) dropping MeTV for H&I 10/4

    I experimented with TV Settings for the STB. You can setup the "SD Over ride" to be "Off", "Wide" or "Stretch". "Stretch" makes WZMETV look okay but all the other SD channels are too wide and the edges are off the screen. That's not acceptable. So I will wait for WZMETV.Verizon FiOS to figure...

    WZME Bridgeport, CT (NY area) dropping MeTV for H&I 10/4

    Whenever they show a commercial, it is unsqueezed. It is only the H&I feeds that are squeezed. For Juan, I have Vizio 472XVT. You can set the width to various sizes like "Normal", "Wide" or "Zoom" but is all manual, nothing automatic. For all feeds on SD channels, the width is 30 1/2" except for...

    WZME Bridgeport, CT (NY area) dropping MeTV for H&I 10/4

    I have had several email discussions with WZMETV today and they state that they are transmitting what they receive from H&I which is in a 16:9 format. When they transmitted METV, METV was in a 4:3 format. They asked me to check to see what I got on BBC America which is strictly 16:9. My picture...

    WZME Bridgeport, CT (NY area) dropping MeTV for H&I 10/4

    Format for H&I (broadcast by WZME from Bridgeport CT) is still definitely "squeezed inward" as of Nov 1. It arrives on Channel 19 on Verizon FiOS in Central NJ. When they were broadcasting ME-TV on channel 19 prior to Oct 11, it was not squeezed. I left a comment about this on the H&I Facebook...

    Mega TV Greek TV

    Dish had Mega until 12/2006 or 12/2007, I think. At that time Mega switched from Dish to DirecTV. Eventually, I switched from Dish to FiOS and picked all of the Greek channels from LIVE Greek TV This is streaming video and costs about $28/mo. It has most (11) of the Greek channels live. It also...

    Polar Mount 3" to 3 1/2" adapter?

    The Orbitron 3.5 mount already has a 4" plate welded to it. (see photo) All I have to do is disassemble it and have the 3" section of pipe welded onto the plate. Thanks for the idea and the photo. satellite :: orbitronhead.jpg picture by kataifi_photos - Photobucket

    Polar Mount 3" to 3 1/2" adapter?

    I was considering drilling three half inch holes and then use a tap to make the threads for 1/2" bolts. Any thoughts on that approach?

    Polar Mount 3" to 3 1/2" adapter?

    I'm thinking of replacing me current dish with a Fortec 6' with polar mount. I see a Sadoun listing for a 3" polar mount. However, the pole I have in the ground is a 3 1/2" pole used to mount my Orbitron (now damaged beyond repair - see avatar). Question: Is there any kind of 3" to 3 1/2"...

    DISH antenna stolen - twice. Help!!

    That's a distinct possibilty. My daughter wrote the HOA a couple of years ago when the HOA wanted her to remove the Dish antenna. She cited chapter and verse regarding small antennas and what was allowed under Federal regulations and therefore could not be prohibited by the HOA. These two...

    Both cable and AT&T Uverse are available but neither have the international channels available on Dish.

    DISH antenna stolen - twice. Help!!

    Definitely a possibility. I'm also looking at a "Simulated Security Camera" from Radio Shack for about $30. It looks like the real thing but it doesn't do anything except except blink a red light!!

    No balcony so that's not an option.

    DISH antenna stolen - twice. Help!!

    My daughter has had her Dish antenna stolen twice. She is looking for ideas on how to prevent future thefts. Basically, the thieves cut the wire and lift the dish and the switch off the pole. Looking for ideas how to stop this. Is there any kind of alarm device (motion detector, etc) that...

    I need to find AMC-6

    I'm having the same problem with a 15 year old UST4600. I can't get AMC-6 because of trees. What other C-band satellites did you locate?

    Need 3 Ribs for Orbitron S-8.5 ?

    I have never seen another BUD in this part of NJ. Mostly cable with some DISH and DTV but no BUDs. It will be a lot easier on me to just get a new 6' and be done with it.

    Can I use a CorotorPak on a Fortec FS6D w/ Polar Mount?

    They're too high falutin. I'll take it to one in Asbury Park so "The Boss" can bless it :)
