    I just haven't had the time lately. And I will admit the drive since I do not have Dish. Creating all those jpgs in Google Earth takes quite a bit of time. Plus matching all those TIDs to beams. I will put this on my schedule again for this weekend. Sent from my little Note2

    I'm Mad & Disappointed With Dish

    Yep, it's switch bleed if it isn't saying locked with the name. -- "Sensorly or it didn't happen!"

    VIDEO - Hopper .vs Genie

    Because the chose an antiquated switching tech in the Hopper. Switching in an entire 500mhz for one tuner when only 250mhz is usable and 20mhz is used. Dumb. -- "Sensorly or it didn't happen!"

    VIDEO - Hopper .vs Genie

    Yep. We watch half and half pretty much. It would really be a fight if I downgraded from 9 tuners to 3. Plus the unified list between the dvrs means less IT questions at home. I don't get the speed thing. I never wait on the HR34. -- "Sensorly or it didn't happen!"

    Was DISH Robbed at CES?

    I can see why CNET and CBS did this. They really had to do it. -- "Sensorly or it didn't happen!"

    CES-2013 PR: DISH’s New “Hopper with Sling” Delivers Unparalleled Choice and Control, at Home or On

    Maybe by next year when my 2 yr is up with direct they will have the integration issues fixed. I am too spoiled with the scalable system right now with one unified play list and it would suck going down from 9 tuners to 6. -- "Sensorly or it didn't happen!"

    Dish makes bid for clearwire

    CES-2013 PR: DISH’s New “Hopper with Sling” Delivers Unparalleled Choice and Control, at Home or On

    Yep. Slap the sling inside. Slap a wifi baseband chip inside. Slap a Directv nomad in it. Don't add new hardware of today. Explain why you don't need more than 3 tuners and call it new tech. Sounds just like Apple. -- "Sensorly or it didn't happen!"

    Two Hoppers...overkill?

    Directs and be used that way as well. Sent from my EVO sometimes-LTE

    Two Hoppers...overkill?

    Yeah Directv shot themselves in the foot with the slave style boxes too. Kinda kills the deal with some of the limitations it brings. Sent from my EVO sometimes-LTE

    Two Hoppers...overkill?

    For what you pay for TV today you shouldn't have to deal with the nonsense of only 3 tuners in a household. It might work if you were living alone. Might. It's not worth the frustration if you had one hopper and 4 people in the house. Maybe half your stuff would get recorded. I know if I had...

    Echostar 16 Launch - November 20 2012

    No unless you have the exact schedule they are changing each tid. Signal strength is not in the stream. Will just have to see a day or two of wrong names on some transponders. Not a huge deal. Sent from my EVO sometimes-LTE

    Echostar 16 Launch - November 20 2012

    Nope. The TID is the identifier. Where the data is pulled there is no pretty names like Echostar-12 TP 12 Spotbeam 1A or whatever, just like there's nothing in the streaming saying WABC New York,NY-ABC, or HBOE (HBO Entertainment) along with the link. That's all data I have from other sources...

    Echostar 16 Launch - November 20 2012

    Actually I think that is backwards as well. 2012/11/12 is how it should be written. I guess that's the programmer and DBA in me though. The wife fusses me and says I write dates backwards! I just laugh and don't waste the time to explain.

    Echostar 16 Launch - November 20 2012

    More power = less signal fade = less error correction needed = more room for video They previously ran 2/3 error correction looks like they will do 3/4 on some feeds resulting in 48 mbits of video instead of 42. Sent from my C64 w/Epyx FastLoad cartridge

    Echostar 16 Launch - November 20 2012

    I heard this will bring some new FEC link budget types to some of the 8PSK feeds... 48mbits vs 42mbits per transponder.

    For the most part Isaac was a hugely over done. I was outside walking the neighborhood several times during the storm. Seen thunderstorms with more rain and wind than that. Sent from my C64 w/Epyx FastLoad cartridge

    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    They are just going to sit on it like they have in the past with other licenses. Look at the 6mhz unpaired of 700mhz they have been sitting on. Dumb move buying that piece of garbage. Sent from my C64 w/Epyx FastLoad cartridge

    Making an 18 inch Satellite dish into a long range WiFi antenna

    Making an 18 inch Satellite dish into a long range WiFi antenna

    You may be able to hear the signal in the other location but the laptop will not be able to send back. You have to have the same thing on both sides for a decent connection. I do agree the homemade way is very cool and gives that satisfaction. But also I don't like hearing people bitch and...

    Making an 18 inch Satellite dish into a long range WiFi antenna

    Yes and they have some massive parabolic antennas as well. I have used Engenius products, modded linksys, etc and stumbled upon ubiquiti and wow. They have some impressive products that still amaze me today on how well some of these wifi links work. The ubiquiti forums are great. Lots of...
