Summary
The AR/VR market is slated to increase 30x by 2020.
All the big boys are playing with AR toys, competing to bring devices into the market.
What is Apple doing about it?
After about five years running through the USPTO, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) was granted a patent, Application number US15138931, named "Transparent Electronic Device," which can bring great changes in how we think about the iPhone. This is not Apple's first augmented reality or AR patent, but the one that describes the futuristic scenario most clearly. Given that IDC forecasts the AR/VR market to grow 30-fold in the next few years, from $5.2 billion today to over $160 billion in 2020, Apple's forays in AR takes on new significance. In fact, it is AR that has more useful potential, as the same report says, and as we shall soon see, Tim Cook also seems to confirm that AR is where Apple's focus lies. In this article, I will take a brief look at the relevant patent and what it might mean for a future iPhone.
Augmented reality, as we know, is adding a virtual element to reality, augmenting it visually, haptically or kinesthically. Instead of in virtual reality, where the real world disappears into an immersive, interactive, completely unreal, reality. In AR, the rest of the visual, tactile, sensory world remains the same, except for a small part, which may be an image projection, or other sensory depictions, which is not real. In terms of image, this is often a projection that can be "seen through," unlike in VR where what you might see through a VR image is also VR.
It is interesting that Tim Cook, who, following a long Apple tradition, keeps very quiet about sight-unseen futuristic developments at Apple, recently said the following about its AR work:
"AR I think is going to become really big," said Cook. "VR, I think, is not gonna be that big, compared to AR … How long will it take? AR gonna take a little while, because there's some really hard technology challenges there. But it will happen. It will happen in a big way. And we will wonder, when it does (happen), how we lived without it. Kind of how we wonder how we lived without our (smartphones) today."
In another very recent interview also, Tim Cook talks about how AR, not VR, is the core technology and how Apple is working on developing AR projects behind the scene. Add that all to the fact of the new patent coming out just around a month or two before these interviews, and one feels something interesting is developing at Apple.
What the patent # US15138931 actually says
With the caveat that often a patent doesn't sound as interesting or useful as the invention it develops, here's what the patent says about the concept:
A method and system for displaying images on a transparent display of an electronic device. The display may include one or more display screens as well as a flexible circuit for connecting the display screens with internal circuitry of the electronic device. Furthermore, the display screens may allow for overlaying of images over real world viewable objects, as well as a visible window to be present on an otherwise opaque display screen. Additionally, the display may include active and passive display screens that may be utilized based on images to be displayed.
What, exactly, will this patent do to an iPhone? Well, if deployed, it may make the iPhone's screen almost transparent, with possibly a small masked, opaque portion hiding the electronic innards. The screen, which can be made transparent on demand, will let users view objects behind the iPhone, through the iPhone, making it work like an overlay image which can display information about whatever object is behind the scene. Even more interesting, in one embodiment of the technology, Apple claims that the iPhone "may include two or more of such display screens (each having respective viewing areas with transparent portions) arranged in an overlaid or back-to-back manner." This use of overlayed, multiple display screens produces the possibility of 3D holographic imagery. Apple actually goes on to discuss "sensed rotation" of the object, which can be displayed using a set of active and passively transparent display screens.
The movement and multiple transparent window concept is nicely illustrated in the following tree:
Source - USPTO
As the diagram above clearly says, the transparent window on the iPhone or other device can be user generated, on-demand. It can also represent motion very realistically.
How a future iPhone may look like
If this invention is every deployed, - and from what Tim Cook says, they are working on it - the iPhone will have its greatest makeover since it was first manufactured. The iPhone's beauty is that it already looks semi-transparent. With this application, its entire screen space, except for a small area hiding the circuitry, will become transparent on demand. It will not be 100% transparent, like glass, but more of a darker transparency, like Samsung actually demonstrated last year.
Source - Note the transparency of the slightly darkish screen
It also may take the following look if it involves multiple passive and active display screens as discussed just now.
Source - Wraparound glass display iPhone
The wraparound display can be viewed as a set of multiple displays, at least two, which have the potential to make motion imagery more vivid and lifelike.
How can this be useful
Well, besides simply the wow factor of having an iPhone turn into a Star Trek like AR device, there are multiple possible uses for this AR technology, some of which Apple itself has stated.
In one concept, this AR iPhone can be used in a setting, say, the museum, where the "overlays virtually interact with real-world objects." So, in a museum setting, an exhibit like a painting may have an overlay on one display screen, while information about the painting - taken from technology present in the museum, or even stored in the phone or from the Internet - could be displayed in the second screen. The same thing could be possible outside a closed setting. You could look at a scenic view of the Alps, for example, through your iPhone's transparent screen, and if you zoom in, you could see information about the height of a peak, or a climbing route, or a trekking route, displayed right across the screen overlaying the background. No, I am not writing science fiction - the Apple patent application says most of these things.
It is also possible to generate a transparent window with a tap or a double tap. From the language of the patent: "This tap or double tap input by a user may cause the processor(s) 24 to change the voltage driven to an area of the display screen 50 corresponding to the location of the tap or double tap by the user such that the pixels in the area are driven to voltages that cause the area to be transparent." So, the rest of the screen will be opaque, but right next to, say, a set of information displayed on the opaque screen, about an object outside, you could create a transparent window to actually see that outside object. This isn't just uber cool, this could be a very useful feature in a number of settings where more realistic visualization of information is necessary for a user to understand something more clearly. Like surgery, for example - someday a surgeon may tap his iPhone in a surgical setting to figure out what that thing is doing inside your stomach, or whatever.
Another application could be 3D display. As inventor Aleksander Pence says, the iPhone may include multiple rear facing cameras, and images captured from them can be put together in the form of a three dimensional, real time overlay of what's behind the phone.
When will it come to the market
Apple has been quietly growing a lot of assets in the AR/VR technology arena. The company has been buying into a number of AR/VR technology companies, and hiring key personnel with expertise in the area, for a number of years now. It hired Microsoft's Nick Thompson, who has worked on HoloLens, and Bennett Wilburn, who has also worked in machine learning. Recently, Apple hired Doug Bowman, who is developing pioneering technology in 3D user interfacing. Zeyu Li, who has worked at AR startup Magic Leap, which is developing extremely cool new technology in AR, has also been hired.
Besides personnel hires, Apple is also acquiring key assets in AR/VR, like when in 2013 it purchased PrimeSense for $345 million. PrimeSense was the original developer of the technology behind Xbox Kinect, which could be controlled using voice and gestures. In May 2015, Apple acquired Metaio, a German company that has produced cool projects in AR.
All theses hires and purchases tell me that Apple is working fast to produce something marketable in the very near future. This year is already gone, and next year's product launches are probably already lined up, but by 2018, I expect the first workable i-device based on AR to come to the market. It may not immediately be bundled on the iPhone - the iPhone launch is Apple's most important event, and AR is still an iffy market. However, one would expect slow integration of the technology with the iPhone if it hits it off with initial customers.

Due to security concerns and the fact that the Tapatalk Plugin for Xenforo is no longer being updated we have removed Tapatalk support from SatelliteGuys.
For those who were using it we recommend using our PWA App instead which is faster and does not have all the spam Tapatalk had. Below is a graphic showing how to add SatelliteGuys to your devices home screen. (While iOS is shown the process is mostly the same for Android.)
Thanks for your understanding.

I have had good experiences with Brave but lately I am frustrated with it.
Now when I launch the app it shows a box at the bottom asking if I want to go back to the last opened page. It is in conveniently located and I would prefer to eliminate it.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Please let's not sidetrack the discussion into an exploration of why I don't care for it or a lecture about all the wonderful aspects of the feature. I just do not care for it.

I don't have an Android phone so I don't know if this will apply to the Brave settings on your android device but it works on the desktop for me.
Change this setting to either startup to a different website or a new tab page. I have mine set to open to google.com instead of where I left off and it doesn't ask me at the next startup if I want to open the last opened page unless it crashed.

Hello everyone.
I am new here and I done a search on MLB Extra Innings and DISH and it led me to this forum and so I signed up and hopefully someone can help me out with some issues.
First off, I am a DISH Outdoors customer and I signed up for service back in late October of 2025. I have a Wally HD Receiver and I am using the DISH Playmaker OS 2.1 as my Antenna that operates on 110 and 119 Western Arc and Alternative 61.5, 110, and 119 satellites. I signed up for MLB Extra Innings back in March before the season began. I was excited to be able to watch MLB Extra Innings because I love baseball and I use to have MLB Extra Innings on Satellite DIRECTV back in 2001-2004 and on Satellite DISH back in 2016 and 2017.
I was a bit disappointed when I found out that it is actually MLB.TV Simulcasted to DISH Satellite (More on that later) Anyways I have been watching faithfully almost every night however about a week ago there was a problem. When I went to go to the game to watch a game the game wouldn't come in an I would send a refresh signal to my receiver and then I could watch the programming and when I went to switch games at that games appointed time slot my Wally HD Receiver who lockup where I couldn't change any channels or view the guide and it would reboot. The next night when I turned to a game at game start it still had the background it shows before the game started and again send a refresh signal and went though this same thing over and over. I added a movie channel to my lineup and had issues with showing up my Dish Wally HD Receiver.
With an investigation after several calls with DISH Support it was determined that by going to the diagnostics screen that I had a issue with my Tuner because any changes that I made to my programming these changes would not take affect on the Wally HD Receiver. In other words that Wally HD Receiver was toast!
I too had reported MLB Extra Innings issue to DISH and they created a ticket for it and said that someone would investigate the issue. I too took notice that under MyDISH account under MLB Extra Innings always before it would show that I was subscribed and on auto-renew. Now it shows nothing and even after logging out and deleting my User Name and Password so that I can see it in guest mode it too doesn't even list a price and option for purchase as does the now WNBA League Pass.
After my DISH Receiver was ruined I had to buy a new Wally HD Receiver. I took advantage an bought 2 HD Wally's and added them both to my account. I called back to remove the old box off of the account and was told it was linked to MLB Extra Innings and the advanced technical support team said there was a glitch with MLB Extra Innings and hope to have a resolution in a couple of days and I could call back in to then to remove the box. But both the 2 new Wally HD Receivers are activated on my account. I asked them what the problem was with MLB Extra Innings and how long it would be and I was told there was a glitch as I asked to specify what they meant and got no answer. I again went and checked the MyDISH account page under the MLB Extra Innings page and it still doesn't list me as subscribed and after logging out and deleting my User Name and Password so I could it see it as a guest mode and it still doesn't list the price and option for purchase as it does for the WNBA League Pass.
I am afraid to boot up these boxes and go through the activation screen process because of the issues with the MLB Extra Innings in fear it will do the same or mess up my boxes from being able to receive MLB Extra Inning because or any other programing because I was told that MLB Extra Innings wouldn't come in on those new box because it was activated with the Wally that is ruined and it needs removed first.
Now I have no DISH service going on a week and miss my MLB Extra Innings when the races are just heating up and now with two boxes activated I can't boot up because I am afraid it will mess them up and I will be out the $180.00 or so dollars I made in purchase on the receivers.
Is anyone else experiencing issues with their MLB Extra Innings and does anyone really know what this so called glitch actually is? I can't seem to get a clear answer from anybody and don't even know if it will even be fixed or anyone really understands it.
Now to my previous statement on how I was disappointed that MLB Extra Innings is actually MLB.TV in simulcast. When I had MLB Extra Innings before with DIRECTV in 2001-2004 and with DISH form 2016 and 2017. They would always show the commercials for every teams broadcast from their local market and all games would be authentic just as if you were watching in their home market. After I quit DISH I went to streaming for awhile and I done MLB.TV and I hated their features because of the no commercials, the delayed times of getting back after the commercial break, and not being able to listen to what studios had to say when they would cut into the studios, and always looking at the screen during commercial breaks with a screen that says commercial break in progress and a silhouette background of MLB Players doing baseball things and the their crazy commercial breaks sound. I was excited to go back to DISH thinking I escaped the horrors of MLB.TV. Well its actually the same thing. I compared them side by side and actually MLB.TV is ahead by just a few seconds. So actually MLB Extra Innings on Satellite is delayed from time period wise from actually watching MLB.TV which shows it is simulcasted. My question is when did this start? And is this legal? This isn't what I know MLB Extra Innings to be. I too had signed up for NHL Center Ice this past winter and thank goodness its authentic! They still have the commercials and its like watching it as you were in their home network and its the way it oughta be even if you only do get one feed of NHL Center Ice per team on DISH and don't know which feed it is every night.
Looking forward to your responses. So far happy with DISH but unhappy with this last week and the ruining of a Wally HD Receiver.
I hope I can be of some contribution here as well.
Sincerely,
RJ T.

I know they are doing some major satellite work - the second satellite at 110 which is now in use, and they are moving channels between 119 and 110. Maybe since there are no other sports going on, have they temporarily cut back on the out of market sports packages? I am not sure. It looks like those channels are all coming from 119 TP 13, 110 TP 12, and 110 TP 09.
Also, Dish's Scheduled Satellite Maintenance page doesn't have anything going on:

This is a big shift for DISH. I just hope if Charlie Ergen does ever sell out to anyone that I can continue to use my DISH Playmaker and I can keep my Wally's. If its anything like what happened to DIRECTV a few years back which turned out to be a total disaster when AT&T acquired DIRECTV nothing there changed with boxes or anything and you continued to use the same service but I was very surprised to see AT&T sell it to TPG especially after they had just bought it now long ago.

Trying to get use to this forum and where everything is located at. I saw you responded from my post on the changes and took me a while to get back to see this post. But yes, it is exactly what I was thinking. I too noticed the change of MLB Extra Innings from 110 to 119. Because of 30 teams they have to algin everything. Only other sport going on PPV wise is WNBA League Pass and I do not have a subscription to that but maybe some else who has it can confirm what they done and what satellite and transponders they are on.I know they are doing some major satellite work - the second satellite at 110 which is now in use, and they are moving channels between 119 and 110.

I now have MLB Extra Innings back! Look at the photo! (I did not include full image of the game due to copyright)
Let me just say it was rough! Very rough! And lets just say Charlie Ergen should be ashamed of his customer service team and how they handled this whole issue.
After multiple calls after my last post only to get the run around with answers like there are no refunds on MLB Extra Innings once the season starts, to they are working on it, to accessing my screen and sending multi hits to the box.
All I asked was one simple question remove the MLB Extra Innings which they confirmed I had and reauthorize free of charge. I was given a 1,000 reasons why this couldn't be done.
Well..........
I paid for it myself.... $120.00 current rate and it works!
I called back in to let them know what I done and what I thought of the customer service and told them I needed refunded. I was told they didn't do refunds....
Well again I called back and got someone who refunded the original payment of $150.00 back to my account. A $30 discount for all the hard trouble I went though.
It is now up to you all out there that have MLB Extra Innings to try to get them to do this but I am afraid you are going to have to take your own action and purchase again and beg for a refund or be out the $150.00 originally paid.
Persistence pays off. I don't give up very easily.
You can all go here below to make the purchase if you have any trouble.

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....
So let the game continue!

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 was bewildered with all the new DISH TV "Bonus View" channels, so I put together a web page table with all the info I could find. It's at:
https://anythingpeaceful.org/dishtv/DISH_TV_Bonus_View_Channels.html
Here's a partial screenshot of the table, as sorted by Channel Name. (You can click on a column header to sort.)
If you have any corrections or suggestions, please post here.

One added, one removed. But I think it's really only a name change, with similar (or identical?) programming.
My full list is at: DISH TV "Bonus View" Channels
Thanks to Pat for the alert.

New low power station has been granted by the FCC and the new call leter is K33OB-D on RF ch. 33.
Will run at 15 KW ERP, this one runs from the Westside same location as KWPL-LD a HC2 owned station.
It's going to be aimed at eastern part of Albuquerque, so it's tightly focused beam pattern.
This new station is owned by Digital Network and what kind of programmings is unkown at this time.
