I have been looking around for a Genpix Skywalker 1 just to play around with. They are not cheap. The least expensive one I have seen went for $110 on Ebay. I don't do Ebay but just wanted to get an ideal of the going price. Wonder why are these holding such a high value when they don't do much anymore.

Not as long as they are scrambled. The skywalker-1 will tune them ( I just looked at the Ku stuff on 111 W , the listed 8psk tp's), but there is no video decode because of the scrambling. However, just as Dish Net occasionally runs tp's in the clear, so too, might Shaw Direct. Question is how long you want to wait, and how often do you want to check it out. I personally wouldn't buy a skywalker-1 just hoping for those elusive ITC channels, but I WOULD and DID buy a skywalker as an educational tool . Every now and then , I get to watch some TV on it that I can't get otherwise.
Right. I agree completely relative to the educational tool thing. Even when I find things, I seldom actually watch programs, I just enjoy viewing the muxes in TSREADER learning how the things are put together.Not as long as they are scrambled.

Like you say, I haven't found much on the Anik sats with the Genpix. There is a BC legislature slate, and I seem to remember some weather stuff. About the most interesting thing is a mozaic with about 6 little windows from a variety of networks, and you can choose the audio from whichever one looks interesting.
The thing that disappoints me is that I had HOPED that even though I knew the Genpix couldn't PLAY FP channels, I was at least hoping that it would tell me if a channel WAS FP, so that I could then go to my 4200 and play it. The darn 4200 takes about 50+ keystrokes plus several minutes of waiting to change from one VCT to another, so it would take me several hours to check out all the Anik DCII transponders (I used to do this), and I was hoping that I could spend a few minutes going through the transponders with the Genpix, and only tune things on the 4200 if I had identified some channels as FP. However I can't seem to figure out ANY way of telling whether a channel is FP or subscription only from the TSREADER display using the Genpix.
The TSREADER display does indicate a number that's called the CA System ID, and I was hoping that this might indicate the FP channels somehow, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I've looked all over the TSREADER display, and I can't find any entry that differentiates between an FP channel and a subscription channel. I'm not even positive where this information might be. It's possible that it might be part of the PMT info, since TSREADER indicates that the CA PID is the same as the PMT PID. I've recorded some examples of FP and ZK PMT data, hoping to see an indication of the FP/ZK/subscription differentiation, but so far I haven't figured out much. Even if I did, then the task would be to create some plugin to quickly spit out that info, rather than having to save a stream and analyze it separately, which would be very slow.
Anyway, if anyone knows how to get TSREADER to differentiate between an FP channel and a regular subscription encrypted channel, I'd really appreciate a hint.

You guys have really educated me on DCII. THANKS. It is too bad that 4Play has lost popularity as this would be a way to remotely program the 4200 and other 4DTV receivers. I find DVB easier to work probably because I have spent more time on it. In till now VCII has been a mystery and can see why it has stayed secure. Watching the evolution over the years have seen the whole picture. Can see why now the software hackers moved to DSS services to break because it was easier.
If you want DVB buy a USB or PCI card. I have the USB model they sell for a low price. My next investment is a skywalker that will hopefully complete the system. I have the TSREADER registered.
Off the subject love PBS feeds create and world we do not get locally.

Browns lose a close one with... The Jets. That is a classic Browns loss (granted, any loss is a classic one it seems). 49'ers, Vikings, and Chiefs remain undefeated. The AFC north have a three way tie at 3-2 for second place.
A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

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....

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.
I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.
Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

For the naysayers who did not think this service would make it, just added another 4.9M subscribers and that was after the removal of 1.2M Russia subscribers.
This is even better, Paramount+ revenue grew 120% and Subscription revenue grew 74% year-over-year ( 2nd quarter 2021/ 2nd quarter 2022) to $830M, principally reflecting paid subscriber growth on Paramount+.
Now compare that to Peacock with only 13 million paid, 13 million free.

So, this means that those of us with Commercial Free subs, won't be Commercial Free, unless we wait till after the show is over ?
Which would make same day, not that big of a deal.
Paramount+ has always had the CBS shows on the CBS local channel and yes with commercials. What they are doing now is releasing the OnDemand versions of the show which I believe they don't release until after the shows air on the west coast. And they will be commercial free if you subscribe to the ad free version of Paramount+.So, this means that those of us with Commercial Free subs, won't be Commercial Free, unless we wait till after the show is over ?

I wasn't up at 3:00 am to check but they are there at 8:00 am today.
The new curated multiview is now live.
While on many of the sports channels and non sports channels there is a multi view option button. It will pull up a side bar with many different multi view options.
