Re: Can A Statement Be Racist If It's True?

Trump attacked Cummings in response to Cummings criticism of the administration's handling of southern border issues. Had nothing to do with race. That said - I do firmly believe Donald Trump is a low life piece of shit. That may very well be true, but he still was a better candidate and has been a...

Isn’t the show just pay to play?
Yes, it seems like it's just disguised infomercials with some talk in between. At least the clients are Detroit Metro-based companies though.

I've tried to watch it several times and can never get through a whole episode. Non-interesting mostly.

Re: RF over IP: Is it possible?

According to rabbitears, WDIV uses 12.2-14.2 Mbps for its main subchannel . I'd rather have 20 Mbps so it can handle any channel; I don't want to cut corners here. Well, they also show "Me TV" at 0Mbps. Not sure how they can do that and still get a decent SD picture. But it is better to have more b...

Re: RF over IP: Is it possible?

Not sure what your "current setup" is, so no way to compare. You could definitely test any idea you come up with on your own network. If you get it to work there, then you can measure exactly what bandwidth you'd need in order to use that same system over some larger transport. You could also just t...

Re: RF over IP: Is it possible?

To send one full ATSC channel, you're going to need about 19MbPS (plus a little more for overhead) to get that channel from location "A" to location "B" with zero degradation. It would be best if you could just demod the signal with an ATSC decoder, encapsulate that stream and transport it to locati...

Re: RF over IP: Is it possible?

We used to joke about doing that, after we started doing "ATM over IP" and "video over IP", it seemed to be the logical next step! It is possible but not really practical. You can "record" raw RF (digitized) to disk, so it would not be that hard to take that digitized stream and transport it with IP...

Re: 2020 - 2024 Predictions

You obviously don't understand advertising. "Any press is good press". For Trump, or anyone else, to give them airtime just promotes their cause. Doesn't matter if it's "good" airtime or "bad" airtime, anything is airtime.

Re: And it approaches....

I think it's one thing to charge something in the area where the channels are available OTA, but different when you're going to be streaming it anywhere on the Internet or delivering via satellite. This cost just gets passed onto the consumer, so why charge local folks more money? (I know, "because ...

Re: WMYD To Host Detroit’s First ATSC 3.0 Signal

Unlike the current standard, ATSC 3.0 makes use of both over-the-air signals and your in-home broadband to deliver an experience closer to cable or satellite. I don't see the big deal about ATSC 3.0 . I have a better picture now with the current standard then I ever recieved from Comcast . Just cur...

Noticed Marielle Liu the other day and it appears to me that she's lost some weight. Anyone else think so? Kudos to her if it's true!!

Re: Am I the only one who's tired of Jimmy Fallon's format?

I used to enjoy all the late night shows, but it's pretty hard to even tolerate them now Colbert and Kimmel have obvious unfunny agendas and I think Fallon lately has just been plain boring

"refusing to condemn"... SO WHAT?? It would be one thing if he endorsed them, but picking on him because he's not giving them any more of a spotlight?? Too bad.

Re: “Be patriotic or get the f*ck out!”

1. Words matter and actions matter. You can’t separate them. 2. A leader leads by example and isn’t afraid of those under him doing what he does. 3. His motive was to act like a big man. #fail Well, #3 was about Kappernick, so I agree with you!! Some people are eloquent speakers but have no message...
