I'm starting to wonder myself wtf is going on. At $160 per year, SD is unacceptable.

Anybody have a guess why this is? Lat night I'm watching Montreal v Toronto and it's in SD, but yet CBC signs on in "stunning HD". Then later, I'm watching highlights of that game on Versus, and they're in HD. :rant:

I HATE direct tv's guide as opposed to dish, but I can learn to like it.

Dish network has dropped MSG as of right now. So be happy you can at least watch a Devils game! They better resolve their contract issues soon! Also Dish does not carry MSG in HD either so I am stuck watching the Devils all season in SD... that's if I ever get the channel back. Tonight there is only one game in HD which is the Caps game. I was watching when Pavelec collapsed on the ice. I hope he is ok but it really didn't look good.

What's even more crazy was when I was visiting family in Nigra on the Lake, Ontario, I was flipping through their cable provider (I think it was Rogers) last Hockey season, and noticed that TSN2 carries the American Versus broadcasts in HD. So in the United States we are stuck with sub-par Standard Def Canadian CBC, TSN, Rogers Sports Net, and sometimes RDS broadcasts, while paying a big amount; however, in Canada they get American Versus HD broadcast on a regular channel. I beieve they also get our NBC coverage for free as well (but I'm not sure). Once again, American broadcasters are greedy cheap [EMAIL="b@$+@®d$"]b@$+@®d$[/EMAIL].

I love where I live, and am a proud American, but when it comes to the NHL, it's always better in Canada.

TSN2 carries many Versus games, yes. Just like the NHL Network carries many CBC HD broadcasts on Saturday nights for HNIC.

CBC and TSN are standard channels, sure. Rogers SportsNet is 5 different RSNs: East, Ontario, West, Pacific, and SportsNet 1 which covers the gaps for each of the 4 when 2 games air at the same time. The regional sports blackouts still apply in Canada.

Yes, Canadians get the big networks from the US on most of their cable/satellite services.

Strongly disagree here. I have both DirecTV and Shaw Direct Canadian satellite now. With DirecTV a strong 90-95% of all of the games are in HD, save for the games where it's a Canadian team playing a Canadian team.

On Shaw Direct, Centre Ice costs $29.99/mo (so it costs more than on Direct/Dish over the season), only about 40-50% of the games are in HD. The key reason I keep it is that 100% of the games where a Canadian team is playing are covered in HD which fills in the small gap I have with DirecTV.

Canadians have more games on standard TV with CBC and TSN, but if you're going to compare Center Ice games in HD it's no contest. Both Dish and DirecTV are miles ahead of Rogers/Telus/Videotron/Shaw Cable/Shaw Direct/BellTV when it comes to total games offered in HD.

EDIT: To be fair, the Leafs / Habs game yesterday was in SD on DirecTV as well. I had to watch that on my Shaw Direct service to see the HD coverage of the game.

I agree, but NHL Net in the U.S. began carring HNIC only a couple years ago, and rarely give a good Canadian game outside of HNIC. BTW, the late game isn't live, we have to wait for a Sunday afternoon replay for that coverage (that crap began last season). Also, until then we needed CI to get HNIC. Once in a while we will get a TSN game.

CBC and TSN are standard channels, sure. Rogers SportsNet is 5 different RSNs: East, Ontario, West, Pacific, and SportsNet 1 which covers the gaps for each of the 4 when 2 games air at the same time. The regional sports blackouts still apply in Canada.

However, American viewers do get American RSN HD Feeds, so why not the Rogers and SportsNet1 HD feeds as well?

I get where you are coming from, my statement was based upon simple nation broadcasts, not Regional (and was wrong for lumping Rogers, Sports 1, etc. into the mix). I just feel that U.S. broadcasters rip off the American consumer for Hockey, where in Canada, since Hockey is the number 1 sport, there is a lot more cheap outlets to see an American broadcast, I.E. TSN2. With the exception of HNIC's 7:00 game, we get no live Canadian broadcasts. And quite frankly, the Canadian broadcast are, in my opinion, far more superior to the American National Broadcasts.

EDIT: To be fair, the Leafs / Habs game yesterday was in SD on DirecTV as well. I had to watch that on my Shaw Direct service to see the HD coverage of the game.

I appreciate your reply, because for me it was a snapshot, and I still have never seen the Canadian Centre Ice, so at least you gave me insight into what trouble Canadian viewers face.

Actually, it's the other way around. MSG has been trying to force Dish to carry a music channel as part of its license deal for MSG and MSG+, which Dish has refused to carry. Additionally, MSG will not make MSG-HD available to Dish for several reasons, not the least because MSG is owned by a cable company that competes head to head with Dish, bad blood from a previous deal, and their claim that as the MSG-HD signal is not available OTA, they don't have to provide it to Dish.

One way or the other, the fans are stuck in the middle, with the first Ranger game of the season tomorrow.

We get the US HD RSNs because it makes financial sense to keep the HD feeds going at the uplink centers full time. The RSNs cover MLB, NHL, and NBA games not to mention all of the regional college sports.

When TV providers contract with the NHL for Center Ice, the league provides them with feeds for all of the games. Unfortunately, the league itself only has the ability to transmit the games in SD. What DirecTV and Dish do is contract with both the NHL and the regional sports networks to use existing feeds to make better use of satellite space. So for a San Jose Sharks game, they'd just enable people subscribing to Center Ice to see Comcast SportsNet Bay Area feed that is already being broadcast up to the satellites instead of needing to uplink the game from the Center Ice feed they are getting from the NHL. As an added benefit, they can give access to the HD broadcasts direct from these regional sports networks.

The obvious sticking point here is the Canadian broadcasts. The providers have a choice to use the SD feed they get from the league as part of their contract to carry Center Ice, or if US providers want to get access to the HD feeds they need to contract with Rogers SportsNet, CBC, and TSN directly to get authorization to rebroadcast those games. It seems that for most providers it's not worth it to work on those contracts to carry only a handful of games.

Eventually when the NHL gets the capacity to broadcast the real Center Ice master feeds in HD, then you'll see Canadian games in HD in the states. The NHL finally got their On the Fly highlights show in HD starting this season, so there is forward progress. Maybe in a year or two they'll get everything in place to make the HD feeds available from Canada to Dish and DirecTV.

also a other thing part of that is cables in demand limited room for HD also slow stuff down as they don't have room to show much Canada HD or US HD and that less the need for the NHL gets the capacity to broadcast the real Center Ice master feeds in HD. The sat co just remap there own HD but in demand needs to fiber it in / get it off a sat and up link in.

Comcast is roomer to at least have it's own CSN's on all comcast systems over the next few year so they may be able to use that to get more HD then IN demand gives them.

D* has sportsnet Ontario HD

D* is the best right now most of the RSN are HD 24/7 + they pick up just about all RSN HD over flows. They need to add

CSN NW HD (some times shows up)
CSN Philly HD / Comcast network Philly HD (some times shows up)
SD 4 HD (some times shows up)
other missing cable only RSN's

add missing OTA HD games
Leafs TV HD
TSN HD
TSN 2 HD
CBC HD (I think they can have up to 2-3 HD games at the same time)
CTV HD
Global HD
Sportsnet Pacific HD
Sportsnet West HD
Sportsnet East HD
Sportsnet one HD / Sportsnet one sub feeds HD

Sportsnet Flames (western Canada, except B.C. and Yukon): 19 regular season games, 2 preseason games[5]
Sportsnet Oilers (western Canada, except B.C. and Yukon): 16 regular season games, 2 preseason games[6]
Sportsnet Vancouver Hockey (Canucks) (B.C. and Yukon): 13 regular season games, 2 preseason games[7]
Sportsnet Sens

can the Canadian feed of WGN HD be used as well? or just feed in wgn 9 HD from the Chicago area that is on D* spot beams It does get used in Canada there on there NBA, NHL, MLB packs.

canadian HD feeds for NBA
Raptors NBA TV HD
CBC HD
TSN HD
TSN 2 HD
The Score HD
Sportsnet one HD

also Sportsnet one HD has some MLB games.

Repair DX100 American Electrola Radio, AM FM SW?

I have a DX100 American Electrola Radio, AM FM SW. It is a receiver only, which quit working many years ago. Several years ago the seller had stated that capacitors would need replaced because they go bad.

In this particular xxx://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zUbXgNT8Oo they mentioned the backup battery being the problem.

Several years back when asking about having the capacitors replaced one former repairman said send it back to the factory, well there is not any. Another response several years ago from a person who repaired circuit boards for industry said they could repair it if they had a schematic, again I do not have.

This radio was built in Pittsburgh, PA out of as many American parts as they could find. Your thoughts on getting the radio to work?

I can e-mail you pdf copies of the the manuals and schematics. The tuning not working is probably the tuning encoder. I recently found one that fits my DXC-100 from Mouser Electronic Supply. I'll be glad to include the encoder part number used to repair my radio. My radio doesn't have the battery so may be a bit different than mine.

Deheza,

Thanks for your information and offer. My Radio is actually a DXC 100 as well, was a typo in the title. Am puzzled by yours not having the battery, since they only made two runs. While the schematics would be great, I believe by the amount of views it would be better to post all the information here.

I see where numerous people have posted pdf files, just not sure how they do it.

Sorry about the long response time, just was not sure how to handle it.

Thanks,

Respectively,

If you change that diode, make sure you know what type it is, a regular rectifier, zener, whatever, don't just throw any old diode in. Try to read the number on it and look it up. Do you have a multimeter? A lot of the things in there can be easily checked with a meter.

Trying to run it off a clean 12 V source like a battery would be a good idea, like someone else suggested. In a couple of your pictures there's a 9v regulator [7809CT], and I think I saw a 5 V regulator [7805]. The 5v probably supplies the display and the 9v the radio circuitry. If you have a meter that would be a first place to check, check the three pins on each for a 12v input, a gnd, a 5v output on the 5v and a 9v output on the 9v. Bad solder connections is another good possibility.

That radio looks to be in nice shape inside. It doesn't look like anyone's worked it over, looks nice.

The back-up battery is probably just for a memory function, when you replace it make sure you use the same type, cadmium, lithium-ion, whatever it is, it should say on it what type it is and the voltage, or have a part# that can be looked up.

I have just started working on one of these and could really use the schematics and a copy of the manual - can anybody send them to me or attach a link? I did construct a manual from "azenithnut" , but his zip file is missing pages 16,17. My radio display only briefly lights up when powered on. the tuner and audio section appears to work fine. I have already replaced the back-up battery. I have the second generation radio. TIA

Can you send the serial-number label and photos of the tuner board, that should help distinguish its circuit revision; collector records say serials marked OB were the second production run. Use a heat gun or hair dryer to find bad caps if it works for A FEW SECONDS ITS A BAD CAP, THAN ONLY HEAT HALF OF THE RADIO

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

Updated to H715 on a Hopper 3 from H713

After a strange reboot last night in the middle of viewing, this morning several more reboots and about a half an hour download.

Just did the update check manually about an hour ago with Hopper 3 on H713 and Hopper Plus on P15403.
Noticed something new when I clicked on the Update Software, it presented a pop-up as follows:
"Update software 1573
Update later Update now Cancel" with those three buttons which did not exist before.

After updating the H715 - I guess there must be major bugs as both H709 and H714 were skipped.

So here are the issue(s):

Issue #1
It did fix the problem with H713 which was:
"One of the problems I am seeing is that the Available Joey Software section no longer is showing the Android TV versions even after a manual software reset twice and the nightly reboot. Until it does, nether Technician Android TV download and Hopper Plus is able to check, download and update the Android TV software."

This was a major problem with H703.

H710 removed that dependency so H711 and H712 were working without that dependency but H713 brought it back which is fixed in H715 as no P versions or Android TV versions are shown in the Available Joey Software on the main Diagnostics screen.
However, with that said, the TECHNICIAN SETTINGS, Download ATV (Android TV) Files is not working correctly as the Download ATV Files shows:
"Download ATV Files 3000
Download in progress. This operation will be
complete when the files are downloaded

Joey 4 : P554- Failed
Joey 4 : P55403- Failed
Wireless Joey 4 : P654- Failed
Wireless Joey 4 : P65403- Complete
HopperPlus : P154- Complete
HopperPlus : P15403- Failed

OK"
From what I can tell, each of them goes through the Downloading followed by the Processing stages first before it goes into the Failed or Complete stage. It seemed to be going in a loop earlier as it will start downloading from the first item being the Joey 4 each time before it eventually stopped. This is the first time ever since 2023 that I had ever seen it Failed.

With that said, the dependency appears to still be required for the Hopper Plus to check, download and update the Android TV software as it says Failed, No Target when going to "Device Preferences", About, "Software Update"

Issue #2
Still cannot cast to Hopper 3 with Hopper Plus(Software P15317) with the Hopper Plus "Google Chromecast Built-In" feature" as it shows up as a casting device when the Hopper Plus is online and disappears when the Hopper 3 and Hopper Plus does it's nightly reboots but times out when one tries to cast to it and always shows up as Not available in the Google Home app on Android phone. No one else anywhere on the internet had confirmed whether it is working for them or not. Per brittanygarden in DM on October 16, 2026:
"We've been working with Google on this. We have a fix on the Google side projected for Q4. I know we're in Q4 now, but I will try to get a narrowed down timeline for you."

I have not been updated to 715 yet. I am on a QE "Beta" or Test version that did fix the audio issue. The last communication I had with the team mentioned that the full release of that fix was likely in December.
It would be nice to know if 715 does solve that issue of no audio when Dolby is ON, during 4K HDR events.

Interesting, is QE "Beta" or Test version different than the H708 you had mentioned that they rolled you back to or is that a newer version after that?

Could. Yes.

But you know as well as I that they are not going A: put all of their prime matchups on at the same time. And B: take their main games off of the main channels.

You had bama vs lsu, and Georgia vs Ole Miss to choose from.

Considering Georgia had beaten Bama and Ole Miss had beaten LSU, I can see that why they chose that game for the night matchup (without the benefit of hindsight as to how the game's Saturday would play out).

You also had Tennessee vs Kentucky to fit in the mix.

Someone had to be at 2:30. Which imo is honestly my preferred slot for bama games no matter who they are playing or where.

None of them was going to be a streaming only game, and none where going on an "alternate" channel.

Of course ... but they Could.

Did you realize how early that Utah vs BYU game was Saturday ... I believe it was 12 Noon EST, they are in Mountain time zone, which means they started thier game a 10 AM.

Yes. I even said so. But for reasons I gave, they won't. Wouldn't make sense for them too and they would lose money. A lot of these people that watch one of these games, watch more than one.

They want those eyeballs on as many games as possible. It just makes financial sense.

Often people who have organic vision or hearing activated as adults after never having had it cannot practically utilize it because their brains never developed the massive neural network needed to make sense of any of it.

Well, he sees in color, just differently. Can't he just enjoy that? My granny had anachromatic color blindness, meaning pretty much like a b&w tv

My son is rg colorblind, but we found there are degrees. If something is vivid red or green, he can see a hint of color. I bought him a pair of the glasses when they first came out. He said they did improve things slightly, but not to the extent they are being touted. I think they are sitting in a drawer somewhere.

Are the glasses one size fits all or do they make different models for different degrees of colorblindness.

It looked like there were at least three iterations to try to match up to the given individual deficit, and a test to take to determine which would best help. But at best they seem a marginal measure and not practical.
