Just picked up this newly designed meter. Looks to be best of both worlds in under $1k, and can read MLL down to .001fL which is nice. I went ahead and got the pro model so Tom profiled it to his reference meter in house, to make it even more accurate. In stock form, it was pretty damn accurate.
Also nice because this will be non contact, and no dark readings needed, plus its fast. Makes my life easier all around.
Hope to do my LCD next week, but I need a tripod adapter before I can touchup the plasma. Will keep people informed on how it works.

Just finshed my LCD, and got my Pelican setup. Like the little meter so far.
USB light for laptop and USB ext cable on bottom
Meter and pack on top
Shot of my LCD and the ext bar, which is working great

I hear that, but I have a little less trust in Calman. They screwed me over on what was the C5 (Chroma 5 pro). The thing was never accurate, as proven with a reference meter yet they said it was. Also, are you just looking at the D3 (non pro), or i1display? Tom's version uses tables, just like the C6, based off a reference meter. If you were gonna go Calman, ideally its a I1 Pro 2 and i1display, and then profile the i1 at the time of use.
I can get Tom at all times, even on the weekends via email, and the D3 Pro so far has done a great job.
If I had to pick one right now, I'd use CP and a D3 Pro, but of course you have to use ControlCal. I used the Calman 5 software a good bit last month, and while it is much better to me than 4, I still like Chromapure. I've found the D3 Pro to be fast, and now they tweaked the low light handling it's even better. It wasnt that it had accuracy problems before, its just every now and then you'd get some funky reads at 10% on plasmas, at least dark plasmas. So you had to take several and kinda see the consistency.
With the latest beta I took almost 20 readings at 10%, spread out among gamma and color runs, and they were mostly consistent. Also, just looking at the meter's level of accuracy, you are splitting hairs with a D3 Pro vs a C6. I can get the VT50 at less than 1 deltaE on several grayscale points, but then whats the inherent error of a cheaper meter
Long story short, i think either a C6 or D3 Pro is a fine choice, i just prefer the CP software and Tom's support. Calman acts like a bigger company at times, whch they are, but I like quick customer service too.

To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.
As I said above, and, FWIW, I run Win11 Pro and Arch on separate 250 GB NVME drives, using F8 to select which I boot to, with a 1TB SSD for storage, accessible to both OSs and a third formatted Nvme I want to use to learn Kali. It was much faster to setup Arch than it was to strip down Windows. Windows still takes much longer to boot.
For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

Help, I'm a little confjused on the activation process.
I purchased the Joey 4 from Solid Signal and shipping box has Call 866 726-4282 to Avtivate new Receiver. That number is Solid Signals number.
I googled and that search said call Dish to activate. I assume that is correct unless this requires a 2 step process.
Please let me know.
Thanks

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

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.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.
I went into the Tools menu and requested a Guide Update. I'll try looking at it after the update completes.
edit — I now have the 148-01 4KFox events for Saturday, but not anything for 148-02 or 148-03 which don't even show as available channels. I do have 148-04 4KUSA.
As I recall you have the Flex package. Do you sub to multisport? -02 is FS1 and -03 is ESPN. -01 is Fox so you would get that if you sub to locals.Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.

On Tuesday, I recorded the first episodes of the new season's NCIS shows on CBS (Dish provided, not OTA). The new New York series and Origins will both do Auto Skip, but the original, now season 24 does not. What's stranger, when I do a search for NCIS, Origins and New York show the current recording and the next episode it will record, but the original show only shows the current recording and some other channel showing the very first episode of season one. It makes no sense. When I set up the timers, I was able to use search for Origins and New York, but for the original, I had to scroll ahead in the guide until last Tuesday when the show was airing. Then set the timer from there. You can see its timer type is DVR where the other two are Seek. What am I missing?
Thanks!
Thanks!
