| penguin42 | so that must get mixed in somewhere up | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| penguin42 | hmm cds is an interesting company; seems to be anything which you want to connect to a cable | 00:02 |
| daftykins | yeah i remember the client declining to have it from the satellite guys, and having them remove the antenna | 00:03 |
| penguin42 | they should probably fix the 'Outlet Pates' in their menu :-) | 00:03 |
| daftykins | bit o' paté whilst you terminate your cables | 00:04 |
| daftykins | can't quite work out how a 5th feed enters the picture with that specific model multiswitch, there are other 5 input ones where you can clearly see the antenna input | 00:10 |
| daftykins | there was a much chunkier unit at his previous house, non-dSCR that was just a maybe 8 output satellite feed, i bought a box that converted 4 feeds into the 2 x dSCR then since the local sky Q installers were trying to lie to us saying they needed a cherry picker to get up to the dish | 00:11 |
| daftykins | that was good advice from some UK seller that has since disappeared | 00:12 |
| daftykins | probably won't be long before Sky are online only :) | 00:25 |
| penguin42 | a skyless sky | 00:26 |
| daftykins | subscriberless would be the real dream (: | 00:27 |
| ball | I sort of want a Tivo | 00:43 |
| daftykins | i thought i'd read those were practically dead | 00:43 |
| ball | They're probably an old people thing at this point. | 00:45 |
| ball | At least over here. | 00:45 |
| daftykins | that's how i view broadcast TV xD | 00:45 |
| daftykins | over at my folks for the holidays, see them living their lives to the schedule of what's on TV | 00:46 |
| ball | Tempted to spend $80 on a TV aerial | 00:46 |
| ball | Should get one station with two or three streams on it. | 00:46 |
| daftykins | reminds me of the 4 channels of the 90s | 00:51 |
| ball | Not quite Freeview. | 00:51 |
| ball | daftykins: I grew up with three ;-) | 00:51 |
| daftykins | woot | 00:51 |
| ball | BBC1, BBC2 and HTV | 00:52 |
| daftykins | H o0 | 00:52 |
| ball | Then Channel 4 or S4C, depending on where I lived at the time. | 00:52 |
| ball | Though thinking about it there were years when we didn't have a TV | 00:53 |
| penguin42 | Then you get Countdown or Bananaman | 00:53 |
| ball | My son liked Bananaman and Danger Mouse :-) | 00:53 |
| daftykins | classics | 00:54 |
| daftykins | for when Eric eats a banana... | 00:54 |
| daftykins | when 5 launched they didn't operate down here, i think it was either over cost or that their frequency would have interfered with the French | 00:54 |
| ball | I was gone before 5 was a thing. | 00:55 |
| ball | In the UK each transmitter broadcast all of the channels, I think. Over here that doesn't happen. | 01:06 |
| ball | ...and they still have VHF TV. | 01:07 |
| ball | ...so their aerials represent a significant wind load. | 01:07 |
| ball | It is possible to buy UHF-only but they're few and far between | 01:07 |
| ball | (and expensive) | 01:07 |
| daftykins | yeah very pay-TV orientated continent | 01:12 |
| ball | The U.S. might be. Not sure about Canada or Mexico | 01:14 |
