If you lose reception on a sattellite (3 LNB dish here) and tune to a
channel on that sat, the fun begins. The receiver immediately throws
up an error screen and refuses to pay attention to most button
pushes.

I've aligned point-to-point microwave dishes, but not satellite
dishes. The former work reliably in all weather, but they have AGC
voltage test points to find the peak signal for perfect alignment.
Do the residential satellite receivers have anything like that? I
suspect they're designed for installers who aren't equipped to
measure a voltage.

They have a "Sat Buddy" or something like that, no display just a speaker.
They hook it to the LNB and move the dish around. It beeps as they point
it. They basically seem to center it between the extremes that it loses
lock at. Pretty simple IMO. I'd prefer a meter of some kind, but it seems
to work alright. Surprisingly (or not) these guys know very little about
how any of this stuff works.

These most certainly don't work in all weather conditions. The kinds of
rains we have here in houston really seem to knock them out for a while
sometimes. But it can come down at rates of 8"/hour. I'm sure DM won't
believe that either.



Most receivers from real sat cos (not dish) have signal strength
meters that come up on the TV the receiver is hooked to. Most
installation techs have meters they hook directly to the dish with, OR
they have small TV monitors to see the built in sig strength meters in
the receivers. Most dishes ARE very weather resilient as sat power
levels are higher than in the 8 foot dish days, and all it really
needs is to be pointed right to begin with to have the best resistance
to slight wind perturbations.

So, again... **** off, little boy.

You may have had "sysadmin" level access, but you are certainly NOT

XP does this dumbass. I can't wait till you find out for yourself
some time and come whining in here. I'm sure Vista will do better

Vista is nothing like XP. You seem to think it is XP in a new
facade.

You know nothing about computers or OS's. I was a programmer for 25 years,
it's just another version of XP with some change-ups. It's still an NTFS
filesystem and that is all that matters. Therein lies the problem. NTFS
lets things like this happen. Another fun one is the eternally "busy" file.
Even when you put the drive in another machine as a slave and try to delete
one of these files, you get "file busy" errors and are unable to kill them.
Of course you don't know any of this stuff, because you don't have the

quarantine is what it does with a virus file, when it grabs one, while
it has its security turned on. It also allows you to delete it.

I wouldn't expect you to understand though.

You really don't know how ignorant you are, do you? I work on PCs for a

how many have you done? I've done over 90% of them without wiping the OS

Thanks for the link. Unless I missed something, it won't capture HD quality
signals. AFAIK, there are no (and never will be) any HD capture cards that
have analog inputs. MP seems to have trouble understanding my point here.
There is nothing illegal about making or using such cards, they just don't
exist due to political pressures. Another horrid thing is to buy a DVD
player that upconverts and then try to use the component outputs as input to
an HD TV. Most players (there are very few exceptions) will not output the
upconverted signal on the component outputs. This is the most assinine
thing ever. The DVD was only SD to start with and the upconversion is
artificial, yet the RIAA/MPAA/etc have gotten the manufacturers to even deny
you that signal in an "untrusted" environment. MP makes like he knows all
about this stuff, but he really seems to know very little of the details.

In general I think you're 100% correct that there's been significant

No matter what you get, if the protected content flag is in place,
the hardware won't let you do full resolution with it.

How often do you think it won't be set? During commercials?

But my NVidia 8800 GTS and my Windows Vista Ultimate does.
Hahahahahahahaha!

Bwuahahahahahahah!

I bet none of those have analog inputs, do they? If you think a Dish box is
going to feed an HD signal to some HDMI capture card, your crazy. This is
my whole point, they will use the technology to intentionally not be
compatible and to deny you your rights that you already have. It's about
choice and freedom. You don't get it though, so just forget it.

Even when you put the drive in another machine as a slave and try to delete

You're an idiot. Boot up Knoppix Live CD and you can kill ANY NTFS

That also holds true for many other Linux Live CDs like Ubuntu or

You need to mount NTFS volumes with special parameters to write to NTFS.
Merely booting a live linux distro won't give you access, Prongboi.


Wrong! You have been out of the loop too long, ditz.

They now have NTFS R/W access down in Linux, and that includes the

He's not wrong. You have to mount the filesystem with special arguments to
write to it. It's been that way since write capability was added to the
driver. You don't know what you're talking about. At any rate, XP is the
OS I was talking about, not Linux. I shouldn't have to have another OS
handy just to work on one. M$ is lame, when will you understand that?

You don't even understand the points I'm trying to make, yet you argue
on....non stop. As for DRM, how long should Mickey Mouse be denied his
rightful place in the public domain? His creator has been dead for decades.
Or don't you understand the plain English in the Constitution about "for a
limited time"?

The real problem here is that you don't have current enough technology to
see how this is being misused. Once you get current, you will see the
annoying side effects of all this nonseniscle hand-shaking going on with
equipment as it attempts to establish trust relationships at all stages of
signal processing. Do some research, check out peoples real world problems
and complaints. It is you that is behind the times.

Most receivers from real sat cos (not dish) have signal strength
meters that come up on the TV the receiver is hooked to. Most

Actually Dish has this capability too. Of course they didn't send Superman
over so he couldn't look thru the roof of the house and watch the signal
strength change as he pointed it. And he also couldn't use his super
hearing to hear the tone change. I guess that's why he brought his Sat
Buddy.

You forgot where I mentioned they have TV monitors (LCD).

installation techs have meters they hook directly to the dish with, OR

That's the Sat Buddy, but no meter, just a speaker.

No, idiot. That is "Dish brand" retards. I was talking about real
satellite techs with real meters, installing real systems, not some
lame system that wanted nothing more than to suck suckers like you's
wallets dry.

they have small TV monitors to see the built in sig strength meters in

What are you going on about there?

I knew you would be too retarded to get it.

To point the dish, they don't even need
a receiver hooked up.

Since the system I was talking about includes a signal strength
meter IN the receiver, which BTW facilitates subscriber self
installation, they DO use a receiver in such cases.

They install from the top down.

Funny, how so many dishes around here are installed at ground level.
That is regardless of the fact that I was talking about being AT the
dish with the equipment mentioned.

The first thing they
do is mount the dish and then work towards the sets.

No ****! If you were any more retarded, you'd have to be someone's
feces.

the receivers. Most dishes ARE very weather resilient as sat power
levels are higher than in the 8 foot dish days, and all it really
needs is to be pointed right to begin with to have the best resistance
to slight wind perturbations.

Of what relevance is this to anything being discussed?

You, ****ing and moaning about outages during storms, dip****.
Clouds don't inhibit the signal, dish movements do when they are
pointed slightly off to start with. You are truly clueless, and I
know that the moment you declared install techs as not knowing
anything.

Of course you don't know any of this stuff, because you don't have

I administered **** ma and pa company networks back as far as '91
when it was Cheapernet... ethernet over coax at 2Mb/s on a good day on
286s. I also wrote the OLTP systems they used to print their invoices
and shipping labels with, as well as the underlying database.

So the "nothing new" is the fact that you again don't know what the
**** you are talking about, boy. Too many shots to the head.

OMG, now you claim to know programming. You never made that claim before.
I thinks you're just lying again.

Here's one for you. I saw the first Xerox Star workstations, the first
Ethernet and networked laser printers in the early 80's. I built my first
"personal computer" in 1978. You don't know anything.

Where did Arcnet come from, know it all? That was before ethernet.

Can you even name the company without looking it up?

I never said that, you retarded ****.

I SAID that I made a product that they bought. I ALSO made products

That would be Hill AFB, and items that went to Japan, a current
ally.

My gear has gone up on several weather balloons (NOAA), and looks at
nuke warheads to see how they are doing (LANL), as well as space
shuttle experiments.

They are HV power supplies, another thing you likely know little or
nothing about, since you can't even read a Usenet post without getting
it wrong.

And it wasn't bragging, you retarded ****. It was a discussion.
Something you have been unable to do properly for years without
mouthing off, so back in your face, retard boy.

Rain certainly blocks microwaves, or are you really that dense? To repeat
myself again, it rains at rates of 8"/hour here. It does that all the time.
Believe me, the signal isn't getting thru no matter how good you point it.
And clouds can most certainly block the signal when it's a heavy electrical
storm system even though it's bright and sunny at my house. You obviously
don't have Dish, you don't live here in houston where torential downpours
are par for the course, and you don't know what you're talking about yet

Of course. I don't claim to "know it all". I never have, but I will speak

It ain't bragging when you can back it up.
