I don't quite understand how to access digital subchannels. Is it because I have Satellite, or do I just have no idea how to work my TV? Over the Air (OTA) Digital Television (DTV) does not transmit analog pictures and sound. Since 1999, TV stations transmit data, the content of which happens to be...

Apple likes to take too many features away: iPad 86's the keyboard. No generation of iPad ever had a keyboard to 86. Touchscreen user interface in a single-unit form factor is kind of the point of the tablet concept. You can use a Bluetooth keyboard if you need to. Keyboards are alive and well on d...

I'm not sure who made this decision but I applaud it.

The weekend movies are satellite-delivered from syndication services, so you will never know who programs the feeds. Nobody local, for sure,

The Re Floor jingle is basically the Hi Ho Song from Snow White, which saves some money because the song is more than 75 years old and thus in public domain. Fifty-Floor is a not the same outfit as "ReFloor"(which you brought to our attention in an earlier thread) with its own, differently annoying...

It's still fun to call out incorrect place name pronunciations by those who should know better. Loco4 11p Sat., Priya Mann reporting on a homicide-related event connected to "LEE-ma" Ohio, with mention of the "LEE-ma" police. Lima (Lee-ma) is the capital of Peru. Lima (LiME-a) is the town in Ohio, n...

I also miss Art Bell and his show. He had a knack for gracefully fielding oddball topics and crackpot callers, and would sometimes call out BS but, in a way that was still respectful of his guests. Besides owning KNYE in Pahrump NV, Bell had an awesome ham radio station, including a H*** loop antenn...

My wife has latched onto some shows on FeTV. My issue with it is that Comcast does not format FeTV in the correct aspect ratio. FeTV's apparent 4:3 is stretched out to be fake 16:9 on the X1 box. My TV has a "wide" and "stretch" setting but not a "squeeze" so I can't correct it on my end.

A brand new add to local spot rotation, to annoy the hell out of you: 877-50-FLOOR "Call 8-7-7 Fifty FLOOR and we'll come knockin' at your door" This jingle sounds like it could be from the same house of musical art that birthed "My Pillow dot com" Flooring outfits, all with bad sing-jingles: Empire...

There is no "old WWJ tower" there, not for many years. A couple of the stations on the Big tower have been on their repack channels using a temporary "community" side-mount. Obsolete antennas on the candelabra will be removed and their replacements mounted. After a testing period, they'll be put int...

Speaking of Scanners, or WX radios, Anyone else notice the NOAA VHF WX channel has gone down. It's not just my several rcvrs since I still hear the Canada WX broadcast from Sarnia on 162.475/ Just nothing on 162.55 and the few other US WX freqs in range of my antennas. Any reports ? Reported last w...

Yeah if you're within a mile of the city's transmitters or have a tripolar antenna with quadrangular phrase harmonics. Otherwise not so much. Perhaps some modern, appropriate receiving equipment might take care of that issue for you. Works pretty well (but no, not always perfectly) for most of us, ...
