Milwaukee HDTV Programming / Both Hurting
Monday Sep 09, 2013, 07:52:16 PM
While both are hurt a little by the dispute in how much money each gets to keep. TW is in a way better position. JMO Almost nobody reads the paper. AM radio has a small market and profit margin. And more then half of there TV audience doesn't get  there shows/content.:bang:

Milwaukee HDTV Technical Issues / Dill bit

Just use a bit the size of the cable and put a new end on it. Makes it easier to thread and makes a much smaller hole. Of course I have a installer cutter and crimp er.

On/Off Topic Chit-Chat / $1200
Wednesday Aug 28, 2013, 06:06:24 PM
Price is really not that bad. I talked with a friend who owns his own plumbing out fit. He said if all you have to do is disconnect the pump and hook up the new one .that's too much. But most installs are not that simple. Also he is going to mark up the pump not sell it to you at cost. If he runs into trouble it could take 8 hours. witch is about 700 in labor alone. As well as a trip charge. I guess the key is. Is if the only problem the pump? If so you could buy the pump and I could put it in. lol If there are issues then it gets expensive. JMO

Milwaukee HDTV Programming / Dish OTA
Sunday Aug 25, 2013, 08:53:57 AM
Dish still does have the inputs. Some times it is a extra cost when it is setup. On the VIP722K or the Hopper, it is a tuner that can be added. The rest of them it is part of the receiver. I like it because it adds as many as two OTA tuners to the DVR. :)

Milwaukee HDTV Technical Issues / Thanks but.

Rabbit ears is great but it does not tell if they are UHF or VHF. The reason this is important is, some of the best Antenna's are UHF only. I thought I read a while ago that two of Milwaukee's HD channels are VHF? Now I don't care if they are.  But I have to know which is, and which is not. Thanks.

Milwaukee HDTV Technical Issues / Quick question on UHF /VHF
Saturday Aug 03, 2013, 07:25:26 PM
I am shopping for a Antenna to put in the garage rafters. Looking for a good antenna and wanted to know which Milwaukee stations are UHF and which are VHF. Can't seem to find that listed. I am about 30 miles from all towers in Oconomowoc. And am going to have to go thru the roof. It is a new roof and the wife says if I can keep it inside. In the garage better. It will be about 20 feet up in the peak over the doors. any help would be great thanks. :)

If a broadcaster elects retransmission consent, there is no obligation for the cable system to carry the signal.[2] This option allows broadcasters who own popular stations, such as CBS, NBC and ABC or Fox to request cash or other compensation from cable or satellite providers for signals. These networks have usually attempted to gain further distribution of cable services and/or co-owned low power television stations in which they also hold an equity position rather than direct cash compensation, which cable systems have almost universally balked at paying. In some cases, these channels have been temporarily removed from distribution by systems who felt broadcasters were asking too steep a price for their signal. Examples include the removal of all CBS-owned local stations plus MTV, VH1 and Nickelodeon from DISH Network for two days in 2004, the removal of ABC-owned stations from Time Warner Cable for a little under a day in 2000, and the removal of all Hearst Television local stations from Time Warner for more than a week in 2012.

In the U.S. retransmission consent has often been chosen over must-carry by the major commercial television networks. Under the present rules, a new agreement is negotiated every three years, and stations must choose must-carry or retransmission consent for each cable system they wish their signal to be carried on. Non-commercial stations (such as local PBS stations) may not seek retransmission consent and may only invoke must-carry status.[3]

On/Off Topic Chit-Chat / Speed
Friday Jul 12, 2013, 12:22:31 PM
I do not have RR any more I have Charter. But some times as said before, modem has to be restarted. And if modem is too old it will not push the higher speed thru. But the rep should have know what hardware you had. I would start with a restart then call and ask the to adjust your bill and either tweak your settings or send a new Modem. Good luck. :)

Did you run a speed test? Try, speed Test.net. I think it should be like 30 down 10 up something in that area.

Quote from: ddeerrff;59413IMHO

As I probably posted last time something like this came up.  We should be paying TWC for the transport of the content.  Advertisers should be paying WTMJ (or whatever) for content itself.

Making a deal with TWC is in the best interest of a commercial content provider without regard to any carriage fee.  If WTMJ decides it does not want TWC to carry their programming, then they get nothing.  If they allow TWC to carry their signal for free, they still get wider distribution, and ostensibly more viewers, so they can charge advertisers more.  If TWC wants to pay them a small fee, that's just a bonus.

For WMJT to withhold their signal would be just *stupid*.


There is a law that says each station has a right to negotiate a rate for retransmission. If I can profit from something of yours buy selling it. Basically you deserve a piece of the action. How much that is worth is were we are now. I agree with you through. If the stations need more money, raise the advertising fee's, which they most likely have anyway. Kinda of a double dip if you ask me. It's like they work for the State. ;)
