Friday's episode of "Secrets Declassified with David Duchovny" isn't being picked up by New timers because it has last Friday's date on it. Come on guys, pull your heads out, we're only two episodes in to the series!

AFAIK it's not assembled on the fly, there's actually a channel transmitted that looks like that. If you have an H3, you should be able to make up your own selection in sports bar mode (I would think; I don't have an H3.)

And I've had buggy receivers that would spontaneously turn the LNB power off (but not reflect that in the menu) when doing things like aborting a scan or aborting a motor move.

I'm a little concerned that he's getting 0 though. I would've thought there would be SOME voltage coming back from the LNB due to cosmic noise, internal noise, and whatnot.

I seem to remember, when I had my Amiko Alien2 and Alien3, there was some mention of support for some sort of interactive channels that was used in Europe. I can't remember what it was called though. Something like HBB-TV? (Hybrid broadband?)

Yes, I know Dish buys the data from somewhere else, but you'd think they'd have an interest in making sure that it's correct. A few weeks ago, there was a period when new episodes of The Curse of Oak Island were being missed because they had the wrong original air date attached. (It wasn't...

A three-hour tour would be the boot sequence.

I never had an Android compass that was accurate enough or stable enough to use for technical work. Yeah, I've tried the whole waving it around in a figure-8 thing, too many times. I haven't tried it with my latest phone (my first non-entry-level model) though, because I haven't needed a...

Not that I really wanted to watch them, but I want to make sure I don't have anything going on with my equipment. Everything else is fine, but I've got a good signal on this transponder yet all the channels are breaking up so bad they're completely unwatchable.

The only thing I see out of date on the Ku chart is the NBC national channels are no longer FTA.

Its main value currently is as the source of a customized software package for Edision receivers and a few others.

I can only read threads in Chrome, not Firefox. Chrome is stock except for MalwareBytes Browser Guard, Firefox (which is my main browser) is heavily adblocked, popupblocked, etc.

I tried to update my credit card expiration date today and I got a message that the payment couldn't be processed at this time and I should try later or call them. I tried a few more times, same response. So I decided to try to set it up for direct withdrawal from my bank account instead, and...

If everyone jumped off a bridge, would HDNET jump off a bridge? (And I see they didn't even bother to address the censorship issue.)

PTAT would get in the way if you wanted to record three things simultaneously and none of them were covered by it. Related question: does auto-hop require PTAT? For some reason I thought it did, but I have PTAT off (unless it's turned itself on) and just the other day I got a popup asking me...
