My takeaway from the comments on the article: People gripe and complain about games being streamed across multiple providers, but when it comes down to it they still pay up. The profit machine will keep grinding until people choose not to pay!

Juicy comments on this article. https://sports.yahoo.com/beyond-money-nfl-jumped-at-christmas-games-on-netflix-for-2-key-reasons-013346467.html

Making fans chase their favorite team across 4 or more streaming services seems unfair to me, but since people are willing to pay for it, more power to the NFL I guess.

The Jail™️ ?

The bar :drunk

What size is it?

Good point, although it appears he has separate dishes for KU and C-Band

It looks like both of your dishes are motorized; why would you want to mount multiple LNB's?

Scheduled to be imploded in October

Good info. If my CM7777HD ever craps out, I'll try this one :)

You missed what I said before about experimenting with other antennas with short cable runs and no splitters; see primestar31 post #21 I'm not saying the preamp is right for every application. You asked about possible fixes for your bitrate errors. I think it couldn't hurt to try the preamp...

Agree. If I could mount a larger, higher antenna, I could probably overcome the signal loss and eliminate the need for the preamp. But since I can't, and I'm limited to an attic install, I don't have a choice.

I agree with this. I think he thought I was implying that the preamp tunes in signals that aren't there; I know it doesn't. But in my case the cable length doesn't matter; I'm 40+ miles from my towers and without the preamp I get almost no channels. That's whether it's rabbit ears connected...

Don't need to watch a video. I've done countless experiments myself in various locations, using multiple antennas connected directly to tuners, with and without preamps. My evidence speaks for itself.

I'll let others who are wiser than me chime in here, but I think that's somewhat incorrect. Long run, short run, without the preamp I can't receive half of my stations.
