Re: Tablet Advice Needed
Doing that update or any others along the way isn't that big a deal, as long as you have decent net connectivity, since some of the downloads can be large. At the outset, you have to set up a user account no matter what, just follow the "Getting Started" step-by-steps.

Re: DECADES IS COMING BACK THIS FALL!!!
Anyone who wants to watch the offerings on Retro network, or the quirky crapshoot of never-identified flicks that is the "Classic Drive-in" movie channel, or, something that's not Decades.

Newscast euphemism
Noticing lately that street reporters are telling us, from crime or accident scenes, that victims "Pass Away" from their injuries. No. They don't "pass away." They DIE. They are KILLED. Use the correct words to tell the story. We can handle it.

Sat, Jul. 13- Someone please tell the WXYZ anchor on TV20 that "Moross" on the east side is not pronounced "Morris," or, "Moe-rose." Thank you.

Re: Tablet Advice Needed
Now, I have to find somewhere to hide it until Christmas time. If you bought this one recently, and it's a new unit, it probably has iOS 12.3.1 installed. Between now and Christmas time, the all-new iPadOS will be released, so you'll be wanting to do the Operating System upgrade early on, once you'...

Re: The atrocity known as AM HD radio
HD-TV = success HD-Radio=failure To nit-pick, there is no connection between the two uses of "HD." "HD" in television correctly signified "High Definition." "HD" for radio in its beginning never signified anything, just capitalized on "HD" as a buzz term, letting unknowing consumers infer whatever ...

Re: SHortwave pirate stations
IIRC I believe that scheme was tried out early on, decades ago, as a method for AM stereo. Fails miserably at first sign of selective fading and pretty much any MW and SW propagation effects.audiophile wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2019 6:33 amToo bad they didn't run left channel in LSB and right channel in USB.

Re: The atrocity known as AM HD radio
That goes back to the overall failure of whatever PR campaigns have been used for HD Radio. When iBiquity owned the whole setup and had the patent claims to the IBOC standard, they initially had Clear Channel, CBS, Citadel and a few other groups run PSAs for HD Radio as often as possible. That only...

Re: SHortwave pirate stations
A FIRST! Today, I heard two pirates sharing the same frequency, one on lower sideband, one on upper. In AM mode, all you heard was static from lightning. Flip to LSB - Radio Gaga, flip to USB, Amphetemine Radio. How bizzare! How about "sharing" the freq(s) of these. I'd be interested in hearing the...

Re: Helping someone get WJBK OTA in SW Wyandotte
WHNE-LD is a low-powered digital station broadcasting from WMYD (My TV 20)'s tower in Oak Park on UHF 20. they're sandwiched between WUDL-LD (at the Renaissance Center) on UHF 19 and WMYD's former location (and WWJ-TV's future home) at UHF 21. WHNE-LD is moving to VHF 3 in the very near future, so....

Re: Why can't WHNE go to UHF 30?
"WTVI" refers to an old amateur radio term when hams mainly used HF bands exclusively and not VHF bands. Been licensed since 1961, had never seen nor heard the term "WTVI." 8o Used to get accused of TVI (never my fault, seriously), and never considered operating 6M from Detroit area until WJBK move...

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 . 3.0 allo...

Re: Why can't WHNE go to UHF 30?
...The problem is they can't stay on Channel 14 - WLAJ and WLNS will be there. ... WHNE is now on RF20, not 14. WKBD was on 14, now vacated, ready for the new occupants in January. WTVS will be on RF20 in March. I'm guessing that WHNE's consultant engineers have reviewed the possibilities available...

Re: OTA channels MIA
[...]Unfortunately, someone else (FAA?) disagreed, and they were condemned to a short tower. "Condemned" is hardly the appropriate description. At 331.3M (1090') it is by no means a "short" tower. Shorter than they wanted, but comparable to others (actually very slightly taller) in the market. WKBD...
