EF ECOFLOW Portable Power Station Delta 2, 1024Wh

I picked up this power station recently and tested it today on my TV setup. Everything was working great until I changed the station on the Dish H3. The picture went out on the TV, but the sound still worked through my soundbar. I was only pulling 79 watts. Is this the H3 or the Sony TV? I tried the DVR and it was the same. I guess I should have tried my Roku, but I did not think of that until now.

What I have been preparing for happened this morning, but it was not for very long. It was long enough to see that the Dish H3 would not work correctly with the Delta portable power stations. After that test failed I cranked up my gas generator that is hooked to an interlock and it powered everything. The Dish H3 worked correctly with it. My next test will be when my transfer switch gets installed for connecting the Delta power stations to. I also yesterday switched my two UPS battery backups around where the bigger one was at the TV area. When the power went out everything went off instead of being on the battery. It shows a full battery, but it shows "0" in the backup time I am looking at either getting another battery for it (replaced in 2020) or another UPS. My output for everything is only around 122 watts per the UPS. I don't like the towers being the outlets are to close together. I have several items with bigger plugs that prevents the next outlet from being used. The APC NS1250 has only 10 outlets where the Cyberpower 950 had twelve outlets. The Cyberpower is not a tower and the outlets are spaced better for larger plugs.

I had to replace the battery on my Hopper 3 & TV UPS a couple of months back as its battery was from 2019. The UPS actually started to yell at me (well, a constant Sonalert blaring from behind the TV certainly got my attention) and when I I checked the screen on the UPS, it said the self-test failed. I figured five years was a pretty good run for the AGM lead-acid battery that APC uses.

I swapped out the the two UPS's and rearranged my TV cabinet for the tall tower to fit. Then I went through the APC menu to see what was good or bad. It shows I am running between 117 to 122 watts and I have a full battery. But when I check the run time it shows "0". When the power went out everything went off. After checking battery costs vs a new unit I ordered a new Cyberpower 1500VA/900watts unit from Costco.

The UPS is part of my problem with the EcoFlow not working with the Dish H3. But the main issue is ground related. I will be able to confirm this when my manual transfer switch gets installed next week.

I would have tried to turn you towards an APC Back UPS Pro unit.
Thing is. Those have a provision for an extended run time external battery. I just happened to have the proper connector for mine.
A couple of local battery warehouse batteries and a plastic food container to keep them in. I can get over 2 1/2 hours of run time.
But you can do that with any UPS. Just outboard the batteries or parallel wire an external set to the internal ones.
Replacements aren't that expensive. I'm due for a new set soon and the local battery supply has pallets of them.
I don't get the whole grounding issue thing though really. Are you saying that a 2 blade plug screws things up but a 3 prong grounded plug plays nice? What about if you hang a 3 prong ground strip and then plug your stuff into that?

Improper grounding and bad electrical connections can cause voltage on the ground and screw things up.
Usually it's two prong outlets that are fine and three prong will have issues if theres a grounding issue. Can be tested by temporarily lifting the ground with a three prong to two prong adapter.

From what I understand the EcoFlow Delta power stations have "floating neutrals" which causes my issue with my H3 only.

Arlo - I swapped out the battery in the APC three years ago, so I was concerned that something else was wrong with the APC UPS. I will keep the unit as I always do and if I catch a deal I will get another battery for it.

As mentioned. The deal would be at your local battery supply house. Not particularly any difference in APC vended and a Yuasa, etc.
As long as you stay away from chinesium.

I spoke with a rep from Schneider Electric in S. PA. some years ago when getting stuff together for a starter solar project.
You know. To get my feet wet and have enough to keep the fridge, boiler, and a few lights on when the juice went out.
To keep from firing up the generator. Besides racking and inverters, charge controllers, connectors. Which he sent me some nice catalogs. I was asking about the deals for deep cycle batteries. A chuckle. There are "No Deals".

He went on. Man, they all last 5 years. Even if you baby them. Maintain them. 5 years tops.
He further went on. If I was just getting into it. Get a good charge controller. And hit the wrecking yards for late model, all the same, car and truck batteries. They'll last.....5 years. So. Hmmmm. Just make sure the inverter is set to shut down earlier than deep-cycles.
I remembered the golf carts in Florida, dudes with trolling motors. Seems like 5 years was tops.
I think I called around and got six close to identical CCA Ford and GM, Mopar batteries from wrecked Diesels.
30-40 bucks a pop. And guess what. They lasted 5 years.

On the sub. of batteries. One of the biggest good and worst surprises was getting a lithuim battery for my HD.
When I installed it. It was like the God of lightning himself sent a bolt directly to the starter when I hit the button.
But parking it with the parking lights on and traipsing around here and there. And then coming back to see the lights off was a big bummer. Like. I never had an issue leaving them on and coming back to start it. Slow, yeah. But it started.
Well. You don't want to bump start a Harley unless you're heading down a hill. Or have a few willing dudes go give you a push.
And they won't start w/o a bit of juice. Which is just what the lithium did. The BMS shut it down cold.
After a bit it recovered enough to give enough pixies to bump it over in 2nd with a push.
I just bought a NOCO lithium replacement. The customer svc. rep. let me know that it would shut down on low voltage. But was designed override it if shut down for a few minutes. Have to check that out when it warms up.

Well, the bag can't weigh that much, right? But by law food product packaging must display the actual net weight of the product, i.e., the contents of the container, so by any logic, if not law, a store's stated per-ounce cost should reflect that figure. But since there's not any law regulating shelf statements, a store can say whatever it wants without violating any rules. So I guess the answer is more consumer legislation. Or simply caveat emptor.

Well, according to the price per ounce on that first bag of coffee he mentions, that would mean the bag weighed over 6 ounces. That bag does NOT weigh 6 ounces. According to Google, an empty bag weighs half an ounce.

Products sold by the ounce, pound, etc, should always be priced for the product only. Only the shipping weight should include the packaging.

Unless the specific product or its packaging is known at the time of weighing, estimating the tare weight for a PoS system is a tall order.

I'm pretty sure that produce bags can't get any thinner.

You certainly don't want to put unbagged produce on a belt, scale, or in a clerk's hands (gloved or not).

I would think that all the packaging would already be accounted for ... they weigh the container, subtract that from the scale, then add the product , so its weighing the Product only

I can't BELIEVE this is being such a difficult subject. The issue isn't the price....it's the advertised price per ounce. A lot of shoppers, myself included, use the price per ounce in determining which is the better value....with that number being inaccurate, it can trick someone into thinking that one product cost less per ounce than a competing product. Is this a crime?...above my pay grade. Is it dishonest? Yes.

You would be thinking wrong when it comes to goods that are sold by weight (meat, produce, nails). Those items typically go on the scale wrapped without an associated tare. The weight only excludes the sticker because it hasn't been printed yet.

A pound of Coffee, does that include the package it's in ?

No, a pound of coffee refers strictly to the net weight of the coffee itself (16 ounces), not including the weight of the bag or packaging. [1, 2]

Net Weight: Food and coffee sold by weight are required by law to list the net weight on the label, which measures only the contents inside the package. [1, 2]
- Packaging Weight: The foil bag, valve, and label add extra weight to the total item when you hold it, meaning the gross weight on a scale will be slightly more than 16 ounces.
- Watch Out for Bag Sizes: Always check the label carefully, as many specialty roasters now sell 12-ounce (three-quarter pound) bags while keeping the price or visual impression similar to a full pound. [1, 2, 3]

The larger discrepancies are likely from a data or sync issue. Digital tags don't cause the error, but they can spread one bad entry across a whole store or region instantly. The small cent differences are probably just rounding in the weight, the price data, or both.

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.

I hope these new "most powerful" satellites will mean that DISH can provide every channel that can be sourced in HD in HD. I do not like the fact that two of my favorite channels (Start and H&I) are SD. I was also very disappointed after installation that METV has to be streamed from my internet connection.

This piece gets me - the fact that Dish has removed SD channels from satellite completely in the name of "HD upgrades". I pay for satellite TV, not streaming...I don't see why they couldn't leave the SD version of the channels on Satellite then put the HD streaming version like they have for other channels.

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....

A widow rented a rotary dial telephone for 42 years, paying what her family calculates as more than $14,000 for a now- outdated phone.

www.nbcnews.com

That is a misnomer. In the old days you subscribed to telephone service. That included the telephone line and one telephone. An extension cost $1 a month extra. So that $14,000 over 42 years was for the service not the leased telephone. There is no way they paid $28 a month for 42 years for a leased telephone.

Now in the Hornets and Hurricanes markets we just get the TV promise screen. But Directv still charges sports fee I am assuming.
Luckily my DTV stream package doesn't have a rsn fee. Figure DTV that always says is the leader in sports would have come to an agreement by now.

Greenville-New Bern is $11.99 for MASN (Orioles) and Nationals
Raleigh is $11.99 for MASN and Nationals
Charlotte is $12.99 for BravesVision, MASN, Nationals and Reds

The fee in NC also includes the higher in state rate they have to pay for ACCN. Down in SC the fee is $15.99 as they are also a SEC state.
I'm not sure if they're doing it with those teams, but in some markets they also use the fee to cover the additional cost they have to pay for independents and MyNet stations that picked up full season NHL and NBA rights.

If you go to the TVPromise site, you'll likely be able to get a credit for not getting the Hurricanes and additional Hornets games that air on WITN-D2

Part of the hold out might be the packaging and price for outer areas like how the Thunder needs sports pack for other states. Hopefully they are also pushing for a guarantee from the teams that they would require whoever wins their local broadcasting rights in 2028 to negotiate with MVPDs. Commercial distribution rights are probably a factor too.

I'm guessing they got a deep discount for the Clippers based on how long it took them to officially announce ClipperVision and their KTLA simulcasts after they were basically handed a multi-year draft death penalty.

The Predators and Pistons channels are using feeds supplied by Scripps Sports

The Heat likely depends on whoever they sign for the Fort Myers DMA, as there's no point in paying a high price for the Heat just for that DMA when WPLG is streaming it for free on their app and website for viewers in the Miami DMA, and they already carry the West Palm Beach station.

I tried this with both the Hurricanes and Hornets since I'm in upstate SC, and wasn't offered any kind of credit by the site. It's not a huge deal to me as I can pick up WSOC/WAXN over the air at my location even though I'm outside the Charlotte market.

I thought the NBA TV contracts were short term as the NBA is trying to get all of the teams into in an all in one streaming app?

One thing these five teams have in common is that they all signed exclusive local streaming rights deals with DAZN, replacing their traditional regional sports networks.

I know the Spurs will have 22 games available OTA on KMYS-TV CW35 in the San Antonio market, but they'll still be available on DAZN as well. The CW35 broadcasts are an additional option, not an exclusive arrangement.

With channel 680 now available, we should be able to get all the Spurs home feeds on NBALP again! (as well as the other teams above of course)

DIRECTV Cutting Edge Non Disclosure Agreement

In order to participate in any Cutting Edge testing, you must sign a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Attached are a .docx (Microsoft Word) and PDF version of the latest DirecTV NDA. I found it easiest to complete the .docx version then paste a photo or scan image of my signature, cropped closely to just the signature into it as a picture. Then set Word to wrap text around the picture so that the picture follows the text "Signature".

People who have better PDF tools than I do may prefer that version.

When you apply for any Cutting Edge testing, you will be told how to send the signed copy.

Any NDA you have signed before is still valid for the testing you have been and hopefull still are doing. The new NDA forms are ror new CE testers and new categories of CE testing. They have been placed here so that people who volunteer for any CE testing have access to them.

Been putting off buying a front/rear dashcam. This Civil Rights Lawyer video now has me moving forward

This was actually one of the more disturbing videos I've seen on this channel. IF this guy hadn't been driving a Tesla which has 360 degree cams, he would probably become a felon and had his life ruined.....all because of a lying cop. The other officers in this video didn't impress me too much either, their whole mentality was how can we nail this guy.
This is a perfect example of why I'm always a bit nervous when I get below Perry, FL. There is a huge difference between north and south Florida and everyone who lives here knows this.
