[00:02] so that must get mixed in somewhere up [00:02] hmm cds is an interesting company; seems to be anything which you want to connect to a cable [00:03] yeah i remember the client declining to have it from the satellite guys, and having them remove the antenna [00:03] they should probably fix the 'Outlet Pates' in their menu :-) [00:04] bit o' paté whilst you terminate your cables [00:10] 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 [00:11] 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 [00:12] that was good advice from some UK seller that has since disappeared [00:25] probably won't be long before Sky are online only :) [00:26] a skyless sky [00:27] subscriberless would be the real dream (: [00:43] I sort of want a Tivo [00:43] i thought i'd read those were practically dead [00:45] They're probably an old people thing at this point. [00:45] At least over here. [00:45] that's how i view broadcast TV xD [00:46] over at my folks for the holidays, see them living their lives to the schedule of what's on TV [00:46] Tempted to spend $80 on a TV aerial [00:46] Should get one station with two or three streams on it. [00:51] reminds me of the 4 channels of the 90s [00:51] Not quite Freeview. [00:51] daftykins: I grew up with three ;-) [00:51] woot [00:52] BBC1, BBC2 and HTV [00:52] H o0 [00:52] Then Channel 4 or S4C, depending on where I lived at the time. [00:53] Though thinking about it there were years when we didn't have a TV [00:53] Then you get Countdown or Bananaman [00:53] My son liked Bananaman and Danger Mouse :-) [00:54] classics [00:54] for when Eric eats a banana... [00:54] 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 [00:55] I was gone before 5 was a thing. [01:06] In the UK each transmitter broadcast all of the channels, I think. Over here that doesn't happen. [01:07] ...and they still have VHF TV. [01:07] ...so their aerials represent a significant wind load. [01:07] It is possible to buy UHF-only but they're few and far between [01:07] (and expensive) [01:12] yeah very pay-TV orientated continent [01:14] The U.S. might be.
