Don't know how much info I'll get as I know there isnt a lot of analog stations still out there 
So got bored yesterday at work and found a antenna (silver sensor) in the break room so hooked it up to the TV there to see if I could get ANYTHING. Figured I might get the analog Fox station that is like 15 miles away. Well it came in (fuzzy) and one thing I noticed watching the news (then Mike and Molly) is the picture had black bars on the top and bottom of the screen (like a SD widescreen pic would look)
I didn't think analog could be in widescreen. I know when I went to Brainerd the ABC (which is also in analog) is 4x3 pic (with the sides chopped off). Or maybe they are using a simple converter box at the site that can do widescreen. I'm confused. Anybody have an analog station in their area and has seen that??
for the record the station is K39GG Aitkin, MN and relays KQDS Fox 21 Duluth, MN

but I assume your local FOX is in digital. I'm talking analog (fuzz and all)
I wonder if they sent true 480i 16/9 aspect ratio by more analog VSB, bandwith more then 4.2 MHz, in 6 MHz world beside it would a NTSC out of scope IMHO.

that 16 the ABC logo was right in the corner of my 7" TV.
I could have sworn the day I was in Brainerd with my antenna (the day the cops pulled into the fairgrounds to see what I was doing
that 16 the ABC logo was right in the corner of my 7" TV. I hadnt tried 39 in a while but I thought the other day it filled up the screen completely on my panny plasma whereas the other day there were black bars on to and bottom
True,but I'm assuming(I know that's badbut I assume your local FOX is in digital. I'm talking analog (fuzz and all)
)they're feeding the analog xmitter the SD letterboxed feed,which is meant for 4x3.There used to be a low power analog FOX here that was letter boxed.They turned that off a year or so ago,but at the time we had 3 FOX's,all the same station.Does someone still have the diagram showing how to connect two Hopper 3s again?
I currently have one H3 and one 4K Joey, set up through a 1000.2 eastern arc hybrid lnb and solo hub.
The plan is to replace the Joey with the second H3. Already purchased a duo hub and I have three coax cables coming in from outside, from back when I used to have the older 1000.4 dish and the hopper 2. I don't fully remember, but I think the other two coax cables are just tied up next to the dish outside; will have to check again.

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

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....

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

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.

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.

WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNET PART OF IT. NO ONE WANTS A BOX CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET EITHER.
