    C-Span 3

    I just got a message that someone who gets CSpan and CSpan-2 from DirecTV lost their C-Span 3 a while ago and would like someone - me - to restore it to service for them. As of this moment, I have only communicated with them through an intermediary, but neither the end user or the intermediary...

    2014 Boston Marathon results

    Is there a site that publishes a searchable list of the times of all the finishers? A cousin of mine ran in it, but he is nearly 60 years old and likely did not make the top 10,000.

    Channel lock or revert feature on D-11 100s and others?

    A DirecTV commercial dealer who has every category of dealership gave me a few old D11-100s that had been in a sportsbar analog modulated headend. It was my intention to use them for SMATV also. I'm having problems with two of them. One that I set for CNN 202 keeps switching itself to Fox...

    SES-1 transponder strength measurement

    Does anyone know where I can find the bandwidth of SES-1 transponder 6, which carries the Pentagon channel? I have to measure its signal power Tuesday using a spectrum analyzer that has an 8 MHz bandwidth filter, (BTSA-5) and I need to calculate the correction factor. Lyngsat (...

    Irving Fryar

    I just learned that a month ago he and his mother (age 72) were indicted for defrauding banks out of $690,000. Was it widely reported at the time? I only stumbled onto this after seeing two different recent football stories that each brought Fryar to mind: one was an unrelated story about a...

    Changes to YouTube comments

    When I access a Youtube video page, there is now an annoying box covering the first few comments bearing the heading "Changes to YouTube Comments" that touts: "Smarter sorting", "Meaningful conversations", and "In more places". I'd like to make that box go away so that I can read the comments...

    staples.com?

    Starting yesterday, when I access pages at Bostonherald.com , they get dominated by giant Staples.com banners that expand to cover more than half of the page. That happens regardless of which browser I access them through: AOL 9.7, IE10, or Mozilla. FWIW, I logged onto the internet through a...

    Infield grass

    Do they now cut a bigger radius around first and third base? I remember that back in the mid-1970s, Joe Morgan used to take leads where he was straddling the imaginary line from the "corner" of the first base cutaway going straight away from home plate.

    Baseball player stats against prior teams

    V-mart, the former Red Sox player turned "has-been", has just temporarily upgraded his status to "is" by hitting a grand slam against the Red Sox in the first inning. It is running shtick for lots of fans in lost of cities to say, "Why can't we get guys like that" when a former player comes...

    ESPN Baseball Tickets

    I was just checking on the ESPN.com Schedule page for the number of available tickets for the upcoming Red Sox games. I was curious because I think they are still on their sell-out streak, and I wanted to see if it was likely to end before they succeeded at reinvigorating their attendance. It...

    NCAA Tournament "First Round"

    Originally called the play-in round. I thought that originally, two teams played to be the 64th team in, and then, when the field expanded to 68 teams, I thought that those last eight played for the 16th seed slottings, but this year, there are two teams playing for an 11th seed slot and two...

    Sat 119 signal levels

    I don't do much DISH Network headend service anymore, but I have one headend with 4 foot dish and a legacy LNB, and the signal strength of CONUS transponders measured by the 2800s and 301s is in the low 60s on the evens and low 50s on the odds ( or maybe vice versa... I forget). That seemed low...
