    13/18V switch for two c-band feeds (orthomode)

    I'm trying to get EBSpro to talk with an Orthomode that I put up last week on H/V. For some reason, I thought I would be able to slap an Ecoda 22khz switch and swap polarities that way. Both LNB's are on their own polarity and can take either 13 or 18v. So no need to supply voltage. I...

    FCC Replacing BUD for those with protected status.

    I filed to have my BUD protected back when the FCC was asking for it about a year back when FCC was asking for those seeking protection. I imagined I would eventually get a filter, but was presently surprised when I was told my mesh dish would be upgraded to an aluminum at no cost. Anyone...

    American Airlines forgot to pay it’s Dish Network Bill.

    Flew on two 737’s from Tucson to Atlanta today, each one live TV was not available. Viasat is saying they are no longer offering. This is terrible service, not to mention it wasn’t the best to begin with as video often froze on these flights, but something is better than nothing. Just wish they...

    AT&T’s massive TV losses continue as another 900,000 customers flee.

    When the nation is stuck at home, streaming and watching OTB TV services, losing nearly a million customers is not a good show of the strength of your offerings. "Stephenson said he’s looking at possible job cuts and other cost efficiencies in order to stem the bleeding."...

    Masked Singer in 4K after the Superbowl in 4K.

    I hope this leads to Fox launching a real 4K channel. Super stoked to see the masked singer in 4K. Dolby Atmos would be positive as well.

    Today was my last day as an AT&T employee

    Kind of a surreal day as I have been along for the ride. DirecTV was a great company to work for and I was with the company pre-AT&T, back in DirecTV's peak. Great benefits and great people. The company knew that the customer was the focus as they were what paid our paychecks. The sense...

    Is there any way to get a Hopper 3 without a credit check?

    My brother in law called me up looking for answers as I seem to be the satellite guru of the family, but I'm not knowledgeable in the promotions dish has. They want to get a hopper 3 as a new customer but dont want to do the credit check. They looked at dish but it seems to be really...

    Anyone else notice the Pizza Hut ads when paused?

    Paused the screen for a bit, and noticed that instead of going to the usual screensaver, there was a Pizza Hut logo with pizzahut.com on the screen. The bottom had press any key to go back to your paused program. Interesting that ATT seems to now be selling advertising space when your...

    Epix is now in 4K will DirecTV ever add?

    Epix now has 4K on demand content available through Tmobile (Layer 3 TV) and Dish. Wondering if we will ever see this added to DirecTV. I remember from an article way back DirecTV agreed to it in the current contract but declined to carry it. It would be a nice one to have considering they...

    Outermax HD?

    Wondering now that AT&T owns Time Warner what the chances of us getting Outermax HD added to the lineup and the rest of the missing HBO / CInemax channels in HD that already are not. It would be nice to get Epix HD added as well even though they are not Time Warner channels.

    Giuliani says Trump did intervene in AT&T Time Warner Merger, then walks it back.

    Non political discussion, I wonder how this would effect the case considering the Judge is set to rule on this next month. I'm wondering if ATT will file an emergancy injuction considering that Giuliani is now saying that he (Trump) did tip the scales in denying this merger. Then Giuliani...

    DirecTV/ AT&T Notably missing from SES press release.

    With Transponder bonding and Reverse band and the capability to deliver all of these channels in 4K, Directv is noticeably absent from this press release. Nasa UHD would have been a nice one to have. Seems like AT&T has been asleep at the wheel since they laid off a bunch of folks, and...
