reddit is shit and makes me annoyed, twitter is shit and makes me annoyed, tiktok is shit and makes me annoyed, pure news sites are boring, cracked is dead, google doesn’t work anymore, lemmy is only memes and news and fairly slow

i feel like i used to be able to sink into an activity on this machine, but now i just spend 5 minutes somewhere, the algorithm runs out of content, i get annoyed and go somewhere else, same process happens. i feel like i have amnesia, i used to enjoy this but i have no idea how.

    TV satellite of course! Watching tv over the internet(IPTV, OTT) sounds good, but satellite tv is far better IMO(so far, wont last long). Anything related to new satellites, transponders, epg, FTA(free to air) channels and scrambled channels(when they are open), also there are linux boxes like octagon and vu +, where the users create images and addons. I don’t know for USA, but in EU with a big dish you can get lots of things.

    This week at 13.0E, they added some Bulgarian channels, but the signal was low?, people started wondering why they added them, since it already in another sat. Probably tests.

      Ah second category it is. Well met!

      As a category one nerd with a susceptibility to new kinds of gadget-related hobbies I’m not sure SAT TV is something I should be getting into. Sounds like an absolute blast to tinker with all kinds of setups though.

      Do you just buy a dish and a receiver en get going? Or is there more to it?
