:up Hello,

Just wanted to let everybody know that I was able to find the AMC9 RETRO TV Signal! S95/Q65-70. The signal seems to be good and now I can watch the TV again! I have been looking for a good signal for few days. My information is 11735 H 4444. :)

I started getting the signal around 6:00 PM tonight here in northern Indiana!

RTV EAST SCHEDULE

I think that RTV East and RTV West are probably most everyone's favorites right now. I know that they are mine.

I know that there are resources on the internet to pull down some of the programming schedules for affiliates who subscribe to RTV, but I am compiling a list of the current (as of 11/7/2009) direct program schedule from RTV EAST.

Just wanted to offer this out for information here...

5:30 Cisco Kid

6:00 Daniel Boone

7:00 McHale's Navy

I *think* that 11am is "The Bold Ones". But my pc switches over to the west channel every day at 10:30 to catch Leave it to Beaver and the "Daytime" show since I always sleep through those on the east channel.

I totally love it that they have east and west channels. If I miss Adam-12 & Dragnet I can catch it a few hours later. Got to have my daily dose of Hunks in Blue ya know.. :p

Dee,

Thanks for the info on the 11:00 slot. I usually miss that one and couldn't recall what it was. I only get the chance to watch Daniel Boone at 6am live, and the rest I generally record.

Next I will work on the current schedule for RTV WEST.

There is a difference in the programming between the two. Not just a time delay, but I have found myself watching RTV EAST most often.

Congrats on getting it and thanks for the information, "The List" shows 11736 H 4440 and this is what I entered and never got a peep out of 83 West. I'll use 11735 H 4444 this time. Lyngsat does not even list Retro.

Thanks...

That's strange that Lyngsat pulled the RTV listing so quickly, considering they always seem to take weeks or even months to update certain things.

I think that the last time I checked, that 4440 was the correct SR. The frequency, however could be anything around 11734-11736, and it's going to be dependent upon how stable your LNB is, as most will drift quite a bit, particularly when the temperature is changing. Most receivers can be off a bit on freq, but some have to be right on. Anyway, I'd leave the SR on 4440, but vary the freq.

Thanks, I use the Visionsat IV 200 PVR as my main "install receiver" and I tried getting 83 West on the World Direct dish with the included LNB and also a older DirecPC duo dish and LNB. No go on both.

Can anyone elaborate on the "NBC" feeds that Lyngsat shows 83 West as having? Do the feeds come and go? Are there color bars when there are no active feeds? Any good stuff there? Should I start another thread?

except when its a cool channel that is temporarily in the clear ;)

But yeah they pulled it pretty quick

Start another thread about what?

They are just feeds. Blind scan the satellite and you will see for yourself. Mostly dead air except when things are happening. Stuff comes and goes, depending on what the customer's needs are.

You're welcome. :)

The west schedule, I get very seriously confused trying to figure the times out.
The schedule shows the east time, that's bad enough. But I have to convert that to central then convert that to west then back to central. Or something like that.

I can not deal with that stupid time zone stuff, it makes my head go all splodey and stuff. :rant:

I've just learned through trial and error about when to find stuff on the east or west according to MY TIME. And if it's a regular show I like, like Daytime, Leave it to Beaver, Adam-12, Dragnet, Alfred Hitchcock, etc. then I just make a schedule on the pc and it changes to those channels at the right time all by itself every day. So much easier than trying to remember when to change to what channel when.

I don't understand why they can't just have one time everywhere. Timezone stuff p:censored:es me off! :rant:

I had the same confusion at first. The East schedule is the West schedule when viewing the West feed. There is no difference. Subtract one hour to convert to the Central Time Zone on the East feed, add two hours for the West feed. Hope this helps.

The number-one US state for EV growth, according to the June 22 Yardi report?
Oklahoma.


:eek


It has no ZEV mandates and "minimal" incentives, Yardi says, but also has cheap electricity, high multi-car household rates (so, for example, a non-Lightning Ford F-150 pulls their trailers), and a consumer base willing to switch.

Never realized that Tesla is losing to BYD at manufacturing too, which IMO is Tesla's biggest accomplishment and area of innovation. Nice writeup about the state of play and how we got here though. I have no faith that we're moving any productive direction though sadly, most changes and efforts feel reactionary rather than rooted in making use of the time being bought by tariffs, with few exceptions.

So: how are the cars so cheap, and what is being cut to get there? The best public accounting comes from the Rhodium Group, which compared BYD, Geely, and Leapmotor against Tesla's Chinese operation, a fair comparison because it removes labor costs and shipping from the equation entirely. Their estimate is that BYD builds a car for about $4,700 less than Tesla builds a Model 3 in Shanghai, roughly 15 percent of the Model 3's price. The breakdown is the interesting part. Direct government grants account for about $292 per vehicle, which is 5 percent of the gap. The biggest single factor is vertical integration: BYD makes about 80 percent of its top-tier components in-house, against 37 percent for Tesla, and that eliminates roughly $2,369 per vehicle in supplier markups. Lower overhead, meaning cheaper engineering talent and administrative cost spread across enormous volume, accounts for another $1,719. And BYD pays its suppliers on 155-day terms, against Tesla's 60, which is worth about $214 per car in float. When people say the Chinese advantage is subsidies, the per-vehicle number says otherwise. When people say it is slave wages, the Tesla Shanghai comparison says otherwise too. The advantage is mostly that BYD decided, twenty years ago, to make its own batteries, its own motors, its own power electronics, and its own semiconductors, and Western automakers decided the opposite.​
harshness
The EV company to watch out for is SAIC. They seem likely to take over Government Motors at some point.

GM originally struck a JV deal with SAIC to gain access to China. Now SAIC has taken China back with the substantial library of technology GM shared and they're looking to export to Mexico, South America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

Has anyone noticed an FF stutter with 713? I used to be able to hit FF a few times and skip smoothly. After 713 (maybe 712), when I skip forward, there is a definite stutter for as many times as I have pressed FF.

Can anyone check on this and report back? Recorded programs and then press skip forward a few times to see if it's smooth? Normally, it just jumps to the right place after the skips.

Addressed by what you didn't quote. This cycle is as old as computing: compilers, libraries, frameworks each automated the tedious part, and the human work moved up a level. Innovation didn't end; it shifted. And people still make new compilers, libraries or frameworks.

Nobody's forced to hand anything off. Anyone who wants to keep doing it by hand still can, and people who couldn't do it at all now can.

Been reading this thread but not commenting much, primarily because there is so much "news" out there on this topic and it is hard to tell what is real and what is theater.
My biggest problem with AI is that these agents are taught...not necessarily programmed but taught. Well, there's an old saying "garbage in/garbage out". I remember a Joe Rogan show a while back when he had Elon Musk on and they talked about AI and Elon said one of the AIs (can't remember which one, sorry) was asked which was worse, Thermonuclear War or mis-gendering Kaitlyn Jenner and it came back with the answer that mis-gendering was worse. Now forget the politics involved with all the gender stuff we have been subjected to the past few years.....to say that mis-gendering is worse than the killing of hundreds of millions, perhaps billions of human beings.....Kaitlyn Jenner included.....is simply insane not to mention incredibly dangerous.

Agents need appropriate context to make what would be understood as the correct read in a situation like that, and that Gemini answer was a clear miss on that front.

That said, we've also seen Musk (and/or his team) put his thumb on the scale (or just release a very poor product) with his own deployed AI since:


In the end, it's all a tool. Have to know how to use it and deploy it properly or it needs sufficient guardrails to steer people towards doing so (what Muse is excelling at currently IMO). I'm routinely interacting with several agents a day operating various processes locally and in services I use, and there are numerous others silently spun up to perform actions or satisfy requests from my prompts.

Related to earlier discussion in the thread on leveraging local inference: this kind of analysis happening behind the scenes is something everyone will have built into Windows, IMO. Most people won't see all of this, just the results, unless they want to dig into how the fix was chosen. Stuff like this will be standard as agents get local system access baked in, and more of the inference itself moves on-device.

Did you accidentally get on the wrong plan ?
I still do the once a year plans.
EarDemon
I tried to do that, when I did delivery driver work (2010- 2013), we had a fleet of Freightliners. The newer trucks had headunits that were satellite compatible (XM only I think), but lacked the antenna and guts. I got a car kt for my old Roady XT and tried to use it, but at the volume levels I needed have it at to hear it over the diesel engine it sounded like crap, so I used my phone with an aux cable. When I was in the middle of nowhere with no cell service it didn't do me any good though.

At my current job, one of our new cars has the free trial of SXM active, I frequently have to go off site to a location 75 miles away in a rural area and it's nice being able to use the service off of the satellites versus using the app. There are many places on this journey where all three providers lack service.

I have to think maybe more people dont keep track of the monthly XM bill. Every time i renew i put a reminder on my calendar week before its time to renew.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
