I noticed the link to this in the faq a while back but didn't pay close attention til last night:
http://www.global-cm.net/MPEGlistKuBandUS.html
I have a Pansat 3500sd. There's quite a few channels listed on there that a plain ol blind scan did not pick up for me on the first go round.
After looking closely at the list, I noticed several channels that my receiver was not seeing, like pentagon channel, newspath, some educational channels, and several other things that weren't showing up, I maually edited tps on a few satellites, entering the mhz and sr and h/v option and then blind scanned the new tps entered. Sure enough, new channels showed up. If you are new to this, there could be stuff you are missing out on. Pay close attention to what channels you get on each bird and compare it to lists like the one at the link above to make sure you got all that's suppossed to be there!
Also, I've discovered that randomly blind scanning some birds can bring in some stuff that isn't on lists like that if you get lucky and find a channel that they forgot to encrypt. I think I had OLN on one of the echostars a while back - dissappeard since that time. BRDGS showed up on another...
Never know what you'll find blind scanning randomly now and then, especially if you know tps to look at.

the problem is feeds come and go and change constantly. There may be 10 people using one frequency but different symbol rates off and on.cant keep up

been fiddling with news feed tps on amc5...
What I did basically was print out Lyngsat page, went to edit tps in pansat 3500, and manually loaded each and every tp/sr combo on the lyngsat page. Took a while, but not too long.
Doing a blind scan with this all loaded took a long while - started it and went to bed
Anyways, fiddled around this morning a little - if you go in to tp scan, you have a signal meter on each tp. Then if you see a signal on any one tp you can just scan that one tp and it'll all go a lot faster. Yes, I know this is mostly a waist of time since most of the feeds are just news reporters standing in fields, in front of government buildings and junk like that... but what this is doing is giving the receiver the ability to see all the tps out there, whether there's a signal or not.
Now comes a question - if there happens to be a signal, you scan the tp, get a channel (even if it's just junk stuff), will the receiver tie that one tp/sr to that channel for good... so would it, for instance pull in any future signals on the same tp/sr combo that's being sent on that frequency? I'm guessing so. If I'm wrong, let me know... if I'm right, basically what this could do is open up all the srs as channels, slowly, as you find new signals here and there on various tps over time.
I know this all isn't probably the "smartest" of things to do, but it's fun to play with, and see the "off air" personalities of the newscasters.
Are these new feeds tps ever used for other purposes other than the occasional newscaster in front of a grain bin type stuff? I'm asking because I heard/read somewhere ("urban legend"?) that sometimes primetime tv gets sent to affiliates through some of these sort of tps days or weeks ahead of when they are really scheduled to be on air. Is this true?
Does opening up as many tps as channels as possible give access to that sort of thing (if it really does happen?)
I think I've pulled in almost all of the "normal" fta channels that I'm going to get, so as long as I don't sort channels, I'll keep this geeky news feed stuff to the back channels for now.
I am glad that I started playing with all of it because I found IA8 the right way... earlier I just changed the name of one of the cband presets in the pansat - which obviously didn't do much til I actually put a live ku tp on there... doh.
Anyways, what do you think about opening these random tps as channels idea? Is there some hidden jewels in there somewhere? I think the pansat can hold several thousand channels so I figure it's at least worth fiddling with a little since I only have about 60-90 channels in there now (deleted out all the foriegn language, scrambled, and junk dishnet logo channels)...

I'm surprised Walmart hasn't banned this guy from all of their stores. He has been on their CASE the past few months.

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 onlyUnless 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.

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.

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.

Even though it didn't work out for the Hoosiers, this event recorded and I was able to watch it in full 4K HDR.
Timer is set to Record the Series. Thanks, Bobby!

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 remember this in the news too...
www.nbcnews.com
$14,000 spent on rented rotary phone
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.I remember this in the news too...

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.
