i had an older couple call and said our channels had no audio. Asked them to turn their television volume up. They proceed to turn it up so loud i can hear it in the background of the call clear as day. Said they still can't hear it. Not sure how they could hear me on the phone but not their TV.

I think 3.0 is going to bring some great revenue generating opportunities but stations need to start promoting it now. Maybe I'm missing something here: why would a station promote something they aren't transmitting? We have to deal with an awful lot of confused viewers as it is... Jeff Yeah that's...

I think 3.0 is going to bring some great revenue generating opportunities but stations need to start promoting it now. You don't hear about it at all outside of the broadcast trades so people don't know about it. I don't think there have been alot of talk about it outside of engineering circles eith...

Long shot, but anyone using any type of solar power? We are looking at utilizing some of our empty space around the building and a thought was installing solar panels.

Dang that's odd no one in our company is getting them..both on the eastern feed and central feed.. captioned commercials work, it just doesn't work when in programming

Anyone not been getting any captions from NBC for awhile now on late night shows?

I think ours is setup to pull from our weather system I could be wrong tho as I didn't set it up and rarely touch it except to load the new graphics package a few months ago.

Anyone's station got decades worth of archive stuff on 3/4", beta, etc? I was reading an article on how some stations are licensing out some of their old stuff to make a little extra $$$. I like the idea. Anyone doing anything similar?

Well, again, that's that cost/risk tolerance thing:) The stuff that really matters is Evertz, Grass Valley, or whatever Harris is calling themselves these days. But really, I have no complaints with the BMD OpenGear DAs and deembedders, and while the up/down/cross converters lock up occasionally, t...

Evertz makes good stuff, although they charge accordingly:) (they do NOT make OpenGear equipment) We use quite a bit of Blackmagic OpenGear DA and de-embedder equipment with success. (and at a better price) We have had a bit of trouble with more sophisticated Blackmagic stuff (format converters) bu...

anyone using a multi sat feedhorn to catch 2 different satellites? Adding some sub-channels and dont have enought dishes in the yard....thinking about using one dish to catch ses 1 and ses 3. One vendor i found online says you can expect to see less than 1 db of loss for 2 degrees off boresight of t...

I do have some covers on my network dishes and steerables. Might have to get covers for all the dishes. The issue we ran into with the snow rake is it leaves behind some stuff, then when it starts to warm up that little bit of snow turns to slush. I swear a little bit of that slush in the right spot...

So whats everyone using to clean out their large sat. dishes? I have been using a snow rake meant to remove snow from roofs. It works for getting the bulk of snow out, but it leaves behind some because the rake is straight and obviously the dish is parabolic. I usually use a push broom after i hit i...
