    Interesting ATSC Read

    UHF is too valuable, but the VHF spectrum isn't so much. Cell phones would be ok with UHF, but there's no way you could fit an antenna to do VHF spectrum.

    for the elevation, what I find that works well is to aim at a fairly easy satellite by trial and error, and once fine-tuned, use the elevation as a reference point and extrapolate other satellite elevation from that one. This way it eliminate the problem of offset angles etc.

    I agree... When I had to figure out a location for my C-band dish, I brought a small Ku dish there and determined the limits of what it could "see" by trial and error - with the understanding that those limits can vary with the seasons due to foliage. Also, one can use a dish aimed at a...

    Is the mini castle on Signal Hill called Cabot? I've always referred to it as the Marconi Tower. EDIT. OK I looked it up and Cabot is the correct name.

    AT&T and TPG finally close their sale.

    TPG would not have bought the rest of DIRECTV if it they could not turn a profit on the deal. Onerous debt is what has gone away.

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    I've been wearing mine while sleeping since I got it. I charge it up before going to bed, and find it lasts until the next evening. Yesterday, though, I charged it before our party, so I wouldn't run out while we were out.

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    I've never seen this JourneyGo thing before, but it's not offering from Dish. It seems like it uses the other three carriers and has no relation to Dish Wireless The spec sheet directly from the manufacture does not list band 13 support, which is critical for Verizon, no band 66 support, which...

    AT&T and TPG finally close their sale.

    Juan, read what it says, AT&T still lost money on the deal, it says right in the article that it included money received, but that was not enough to overcome the losses. Based on the previous financial reports, along with information from Fitch Ratings, average yearly profits were about $2-4...
