[VOOM] Extra Channels in 2005

Sounds a little optimistic in relation to VOOM's financial situation,
although I would love to believe it.
Are they really saying that we already have a MPEG 2 and MPEG 4 capable Mot
Box?

RE: [VOOM] Re: Extra Channels in 2005

Okay, the stuff I can answer:
1. Original boxes have plug in slot,
2. That's expensive,
3. Later boxes, including DVR boxes, will likely all have newer chips that
have Advanced Coding--MPEG 4 and the like, as well as 2--built in,
eliminating the need for a add-in card.
4. The reasons we had to go with hardware versus software decoding, before
someone asks, is that the processing to do full res HD, under software,
didn't look good at the time and still doesn't, in terms of availability.
5. 1394 and Advanced Coding are an issue--the devices that accept 1394
won't accept Advanced Coding.

Re: [VOOM] Re: Extra Channels in 2005

Thanks for such a thorough answer. So MPEG 4 and 1394 are incompatible? Will your DVR be able to record MPEG 4 then?

RE: [VOOM] Re: Extra Channels in 2005

If you're speaking of the Voom box, yup, by definition.
As to 1394, it's not an incompatibility, its an incapability.
With 1394 the mux is output still compressed and the decompression takes
place at the device; TV, DVR, D-VHS, etc. If these devices, which they don't
currently--and I don't know of a schedule to do so--have on-board MPEG 4
decoding chips/capabilities, then they can't handle the signal.

Re: [VOOM] Re: Extra Channels in 2005

Wilt,
I have an RCA DVR Hard Drive that interfaces via the RCA DLP HDTV 1394 connection. It seems that I can only use it to record ATSC signals from that TV. As expected, I cannot record VOOM even when I select it as the input. So it's a fairly limited DVR for sure. Only networks.
I will need the VOOM DVR to record VOOM programming but will it only handle VOOM and OTA digital received via the VOOM receiver?

Will the VOOM DVR be able to record any other sources?

Does the VOOM box receive NTSC local non-digital signals? I think not but I saw a writeup that says it does.

Has any solution to the OTA only authorization for a purchased but unauthorizable receiver been considered or is it a dead issue?

No more questions today, I promise.

Thanks.

If you're speaking of the Voom box, yup, by definition.
As to 1394, it's not an incompatibility, its an incapability.
With 1394 the mux is output still compressed and the decompression takes
place at the device; TV, DVR, D-VHS, etc. If these devices, which they don't
currently--and I don't know of a schedule to do so--have on-board MPEG 4
decoding chips/capabilities, then they can't handle the signal.

Okay, the stuff I can answer:
1. Original boxes have plug in slot,
2. That's expensive,
3. Later boxes, including DVR boxes, will likely all have newer chips that
have Advanced Coding--MPEG 4 and the like, as well as 2--built in,
eliminating the need for a add-in card.
4. The reasons we had to go with hardware versus software decoding, before
someone asks, is that the processing to do full res HD, under software,
didn't look good at the time and still doesn't, in terms of availability.
5. 1394 and Advanced Coding are an issue--the devices that accept 1394
won't accept Advanced Coding.

Wilt,
So now I am not clear on this. Is MPEG 4 built into the chip in the
receiver, not requiring the use of an expansion slot?
The DVR will be a seperate box? Can the expansion module be used for a
firewire (IEEE 1394) connection? If so, any plans for this in the future?
or sooner?
Thanks.

Well, the original schedule had it with the same plug-ins for MPEG 4,
but
the current plan, I would think, has the capability built-in on the
chip.
No, the DVR is a completely separate box.
I'm sorry but I don't have any other info to share as to schedule,

What does this mean for DVR?

If and when they release their DVR, is it too going to have the
expansion
slot for the MPEG4 module or is the DVR an add-on to the existing box we
have now?

I think there is an expansion slot for the MPEG 4 module. If you
look at the front right side of the box there is a door there that
opens into an expansion slot. I think once you plug in the MPEG 4
module there the box is now capable of receiving MPEG 4 signals.

[VOOM] Re: Extra Channels in 2005

Wilt, thanks for all the information you have given. By advanced coding for MPEG-4, I
assume you refer to MPEG4 layer 10 aka AVC aka H.264. I am excited about this also ever
since Apple gave a demo of their Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) running H.264. They were able to
display a nice HD movie with just 6mb/sec bitrate instead of about 19mb/sec needed
under MPEG2.

I just have one question though - Will the DVR model contain a firewire port at least for
MPEG 2 programs. I assume you said that firewire port is not useful since there are no
other hardware out there that can do MPEG4 AVC right now.

Thanks again,

-Siva

I can think of a few actors (including some females) who might fit the bill.

This will all depend on the storyline. I'm not sure how well it will translate. Modern TV hasn't been all that kind to PIs and even less kind to CIs (confidential informants).

Volcanic Eruptions

Continuing the Kilauea thread in the Pub here. Perhaps the Iceland one too next time there's remarkable activity.

Currently there is precursory lava flowing into the crater, leading to the next episode that'll probably start within the next day.

You can see the pace of inflation / deflation here. It serves as the primary predictor for when the expect the eruptions, which coincide w/ inflation turning into significant deflation and last for several hours on average with significant fountaining.

Monitoring Data for Kīlauea

For more information on how electronic tiltmeters and GPS receivers help monitor the deformation of Kīlauea volcano, see the HVO Deformation page.

Kīlauea seems to be returning to the "normal" eruption script, impressive fountaining from the North Vent. For once, the V2 Cam has the best overall shot:

The lava flows have covered a good portion of the Halemaʻumaʻu crater floor.

Looks like Episode 55 is over at 09:00 HST, just under six hours. The USGS said the fountains reached 720' or 220 meters.

The USGS Kīlaeua Webcam #1 has been showing overflows and doming from the North vent overnight. Maybe the volcanic plumbing has settled back into its two-three week cycle of fountaining?

But I do miss the little cinder cone that broke up in the last episode.

Sorry, I should have posted these earlier:

We're still waiting on the start of Episode 56.

Reactions: RaiderPower

Foxbat

Today at 6:11 PM

At 08:01 HST 11/05/2026, the North Vent produced what I would call a "wet burp" after the precursory "pistoning" events, small amounts of lava pouring out of the vent for a few seconds to minutes and then everything recedes. There must have been a gas bubble holding thing back because two minutes later the lava started flowing out of the vent in all directions. Then, at 08:25, it stopped. What a tease! I thought this was how Episode 56 started.

About 12 minutes later at 08:38, the North vent once again started overflowing and picked up steam at 08:42. By 09:00, slight doming could be seen in the pool of lava in the vent. Surely this is it!

But, 09:50 and things wind down again. By 09:57 HST there's just fumes coming out of the vent. Phooey.

But then 10:00 comes and the heavy lava flows kick in again. This time seems like the real deal. At 10:30 HST there's little spurts of lava flying up in the air over the vent, but more from gas than a steady fountain of lava. This looks promising!

11:30 HST and the color of the lava is definitely hotter, and the intensity has picked up to a definite dome and precursor to fountaining. The USGS calls Episode 56 as officially starting at 12:10 HST:

Alert Level: WATCH, Color Code: ORANGE 2026-11-05 22:29:12 UTC
HVO/USGS Volcanic Activity Notice

Volcano: Kilauea (VNUM #332010)

Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH
Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE

Issued: Thursday, November 5, 2026, 12:29 PM HST
Source: Hawaiian Volcano Observatory
Notice Number: 2026/H514
Location: N 19 deg 25 min W 155 deg 17 min
Elevation: 4091 ft (1247 m)
Area: Hawaii

Summary: Episode 56 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption began at 12:10 PM HST on November 5, 2026.

Volcanic Activity:
Episode 56 of lava fountaining in Halemaʻumaʻu began at the summit of Kīlauea began at 12:10 PM HST on November 5, 2026.

Lava fountain heights are relatively low at about 100 ft (30 meters), but will likely increase. Ground-level sensors near the eruptive vents indicate that winds are blowing from the northeast direction, which suggests that volcanic gas emissions and volcanic material may be distributed to the southwest direction from Halemaʻumaʻu.

Saved OTA list on Dish can't be appended

I have Dish with Hopper3. I choose to get local channels OTA and had a "guide list" established at my previous home. Having moved a few miles away, I wanted to update the list by appending a couple new stations via a rescan. As many would know, some stations come in with the UHF/VHF antenna aimed in one direction, while others come in better with a different direction.

Unfortunately, when a scan is done (bringing in 25-30 stations for that particular antenna aim), the dialog screen does not present the established guide list; it presents an empty field to the right that the scanned stations may be selected one by one and added to the empty guide. But because of antenna aim, some stations originally saved are missing, and would have to be retrieved with a different antenna aim. But as I explain, if a 2nd scan is done with a different antenna aim, the stations saved from the first scan are lost.

It troubles me that Dish didn't develop software that would allow a user to simply append only 1 or 2 channels to the established list.

Any thought on this? Has anyone experienced this or heard of this from others?

I could very well be wrong....it has been a LOT of years but back when I had a 722K it seemed like when you went back to the scan screen that you could just scan again and it would ADD those channels to the previous list or you could delete the previous results and only add the channels from the new scan.

I am not sure about that but I do know that you could manually add additional channels just by entering the actual RF channel number and the older receivers would add the virtual channels to your list

Like I said.....that has been many years ago. Swapped my 722K for a Hopper in 2012.

It does seem like I remember having to delete the existing channels when we did a rescan. Back then our local stations KEPT monkeying around with things and it was non-stop complaints from customers about their channels not coming in. Got so bad that I stopped selling OR installing OTAs....something I had been doing since 1984 so you know it HAD to be pretty bad.

Keep in mind that the 722 had a built in OTA tuner and the 722K had a plug in module for OTA. The Hoppers and Wallys use an add on USB OTA dongle. I believe they are entirely different.

Apparently I'm not a big enough nerd

since I did not read every Marvel Comic Book ever published. If I had, I might be comparing the comics' version of events compared to what's transpiring in "Visionquest". So, I am enjoying the series a lot, not weighed down by previous expectations, knowing only the Avengers MCU movies and the "Wandavision" / "Agatha All Along" TV series.

I found the Mr Know-it-All channel from his discussion about "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" and he's been gleefully picking these episodes apart, referencing the Marvel comics from the 1939 on. Turns out A.I. has been around since before World War II, at least in the comics. (Robots before that, yes, yes.) This show is going back into the archives.

I'm expecting the finale to basically bring Vision into play for the Doomsday movie next month.

I thought they were effectively releasing a longer episode 7 and 8 instead of shorter episodes 7 & 8 this week and 9 & 10 next week. It felt like they were packing more into this episode.

edit: But you're right, the run time of the first three pairs of episodes was 100 minutes on average. Episode 7 clocks in at 65 minutes.
