5 days since I got the third satellite dish, and I can't get any channels, only to find out that that input 1 on splitter is not working correct!
Ordered a new one!

Update: splitter at its new location, the middle goes into the receiver and the others are coming from the LNBs.
Second photo is dish 1 with its new LNB base, which gives a better singal.

Ps: I'm gonna change the far left cable

📺 Turns out even a $1 TV dinner costs too much these days! DirecTV backed out of buying Dish Network when that dollar store deal came with a $9.75B side of debt. Curiosity killed the deal when bondholders said "no thanks" to losing billions. Another plot twist in the great streaming wars! 🍽️ #TVMysteries #SatelliteTV

I reduced my DirecTV package last night (saving us $100 a month!) but there's no good way to remove all the channels I no longer get from the guide. Selecting "Channels I get" included *700* channels on a package that "only" gets 140, which is just stupid. I had to go through by hand with an empty favorites list and add all the channels that we do get, checking the list on my computer. 😒

#FCC bans #cableTV industry’s favorite trick for hiding full cost of service

#Cable and #satelliteTV companies must start advertising "all-in" prices instead of using hidden fees to conceal the full cost of video service, the Federal Communications Commission said in new rules adopted last week.

The US government has issued its first ever fine to a company for leaving space junk orbiting the Earth.

"The Federal Communications Commission fined Dish Network $150,000 (£125,000) for failing to move an old satellite far enough away from others in use.

"The company admitted liability over its EchoStar-7 satellite and agreed to a "compliance plan" with the FCC."

And in Germany, the telecommunications division of the German Post Office (later Deutsche Telekom) was in charge of laying cable networks and relaying programmes through them.
The channels relayed in the Hannover area, apart from the obligatory ARD/ZDF/NDR, also featured other "third programmes", RTL and SAT.1, the East German stations, and Sky Channel and Music Box. And also BFBS!

Decided to finally remove the #Freesat #satelliteTV box and #bluray player, both being added to the "obsolete" AV equipment pile that I can't quite part with! Neither have been used for probably a year now.

Sign of the times - TV is primarily on-demand, with the remaining bit of #Freeview streamed via #Emby which also handles Blu-rays, DVDs, and music. Saying that, I might think about an OTA aerial feed direct to the TV, just in case!
