    NASA TV ending on August 28

    I'm rarely away from home, and when im out and about, 90% of the time, it's with the wife, and the wife has a cell, so I'm not worried about a scenario like that. But, thanks for looking out... :)

    NASA TV ending on August 28

    I'm a home-body.. But, also, we live in a small town.. So, around here, I'm never more than a 5 minute walk from someone that has phone capabilities. And a phone would cause me a lot more grief that it would relieve.

    NASA TV ending on August 28

    Quite honestly, once the signal is gone, i cannot see me ever watching NASA again. Too bad.... I think its funny they say they want to give power to the minority, but not when it costs them money. I don't own a cell phone, and let me tell you what a pain that is sometimes with how companies...

    EPG discussion on Enigma2 STB's

    That's twice what im paying now. We have a teenager that eats up what ever we have.. Ill wait a few years more until he moves out, in which then ill see whats up. I went ahead and kicked down his share of internet speed. We allotted him 3/4 of our bandwidth. I put it more at 50/50. I just...

    EPG discussion on Enigma2 STB's

    Okay, i got it. The EPG data that was in the DW signal @ 103w was amazingly detailed. The detail that comes from the online EPG sites stunk. We watch a lot of documentaries, and need the detailed EPG guide to know if it interests us. DW doesn't have an online EPG that i could find other...

    SES-1

    The 4180 mux went from DVBS to DVBS2. It required a re-scan on my part to get the mux back in. I noticed it on Ricks site too.

    Dish review

    I have 3 or 4 of those satmaximum dishes. They work great for me, and the best part, the satmaximum lettering fades away from the sun after a few years...

    Maybe a naive question

    Oh, and there was one other thing i wanted to say. In my experience, 24 hour channels usually use encryption other than biss. But, FEED, temporary services are almost always Biss. I think because Biss is so widely handled by different commercial units. And there might be other royalty issues...

    Maybe a naive question

    :hatsoff There is not much content. I think the option of having a Enigma2 satellite receiver, and streaming it to your pc is probably the most cost affective. But, you have to have a decent video card to play the 4:2:2... I haven't bothered with a 4:2:2 signal in years...

    Maybe a naive question

    Ricks posts all feeds that pop up. Whether it be watchable or not. Some are in 4:2:2 , which is only watchable on a PC, and others in Biss, other encryptions and some in FTA. Sometimes a specific weekly repeatable feed that is usually biss, 1 in 10 times might be FTA. But, i appreciate that...

    EPG discussion on Enigma2 STB's

    They modified their website, which broke the EPG, but on the positive side, they provide more detailed information and better anchors. I suspect there will be additional changes, as their website is a bit buggy. I was able to fix it and get it working again.

    Receiver setup trouble

    These are great.. I have like 6 of them running and have only had one fail, and it was because of a coax short. Not the units fault - and i keep them out side in wicked weather... https://www.ebay.com/itm/271413916025 As for those un-power ones.. I never got a signal off them either..

    Receiver setup trouble

    Are they powered or unpowered multi switches? If they are un-powered, i have never had any luck with those darn things. Regarding a powered switch - Always work for me - Hook two lines from the lnb to the multi-switch. Then the receivers plug into the multi-switch. Usually, a multiswitch...

    OTHER STAB HH-120 motor maintenance

    Is there a way to fix the back/forth play i have on my STAB 120? I have so much back forth play on it, often times i have to go past a satellite and back to it from the other side of the ARC to lock it in.

    EPG discussion on Enigma2 STB's

    Hmm, maybe i screwed something up in my URL call. I did try to omit as much as i could , so, maybe i took something out that i needed.. I'm not gonna bother with it unless i have issues with the current. I noticed one thing with the teleboy. It required an api-key or it wouldn't authorize...

    EPG discussion on Enigma2 STB's

    Are you sure the minutes are correct for you? - The correct shows, in the correct order, but if you look at the times, they are not correct for me. They are off by 20+ minutes of actual start/stop times. Regarding wedo site, yes - your correct, the viewable website only shows 2 hours of...

    EPG discussion on Enigma2 STB's

    This one was a bit tricky. This wasn't JSON, nicely formatted data, i had to decipher very non descriptive HTML. But, my Kung-Fu was strong. Teleboy.ch has the wrong TIMES! which was nicely formatted in JSON. TV listings – Wedo Big Stories - Teleboy (Times mismatched) Had to get it directly...

    Email from Amazon about Prime Video

    We live in the boonies.. They degraded Prime service years back. We used to get packages in 2/3 days, that ended, and when that happened, we canceled the PRIME. Where we live, There is no such thing as same day delivery. Right before we cancelled, it would take 7+ days to get a package with...

    Zgemma H9 series

    Okay, good news. I was able to firmware update..... First off, because of experience with my Axas STB, i quickly understood this unit is also USB Flash card finicky for firmware restores. To create the firmware file in the first place, through the GUI, clicked menu, chose setup, and then...

    Zgemma H9 series

    Last spring, the receiver i was using for the outdoor Radio took a dump. I replaced it with the cheap Axas HD enigma2 receiver i bought back a couple years ago. So, i no longer had a spare E2 receiver. When i saw the price and it was a UHD receiver and had a built in Wifi, i couldn't pass it...

    My New Dish Farm

    I have made this mistake a few times. I hook up a new dish, and i don't quite lock it down enough. The last dish i setup was @129w. We had a 3 day wind storm, and by the end of it, i couldn't lock Reuters. This was about 1 week ago. Today, freakishly warm, got outside and re-tuned the...
