00:17:00 <electrohead> o/
00:17:00 <gee_man> ey
00:18:00 <electrohead> modulation is different yes, but over the air signals are for antenna, whereas if you have the ability to input a coax line, just use that
00:18:00 <electrohead> simple
00:18:00 <electrohead> anywho
00:18:00 <electrohead> good morning
00:18:00 <electrohead> err, good night, for you guys
00:18:00 <electrohead> :p
00:19:00 <gee_man> can you give me google search word clues where i can learn about this specific antenna frequency changing?
00:20:00 <electrohead> I may have been wrong about that, my apologies
00:20:00 <gee_man> yes, but there
00:20:00 <gee_man> 's no rebroadcasting equipment that i can find on google
00:20:00 <electrohead> that said though, you have the different bands, and I was referring more to UHF/VHF
00:21:00 <electrohead> for what you keep bringing up - "rebroadcasting" ?
00:21:00 <electrohead> you want to spend thousands of dollars on something that only technically exists for cable companies and such?
00:22:00 <electrohead> you are way overthinking this
00:22:00 <gee_man> i was hoping there was a cheap $50 device that does it locally
00:22:00 <electrohead> you would be breaking laws and regulations as well
00:22:00 <electrohead> think about it
00:22:00 <gee_man> yeah i realised that recently
00:22:00 <electrohead> lol
00:22:00 <gee_man> could make literal fake news
00:23:00 <electrohead> I'm out
00:23:00 <gee_man> ok seeya
00:23:00 <electrohead> I'll be back soon, after my shower
00:24:00 <gee_man> no worries
00:25:00 <electrohead> oh, for the difference in frequencies I originally brought up - there *are* differences, per region/protocol
00:26:00 <electrohead> I confused myself apparently, as you kept asking odd questions lol
00:26:00 <gee_man> my confusion is infectious, it seems
01:36:00 <gee_man> i shouldn't have clicked that aliexpress link that ldog and doggyrat posted, did strange things to my bios and firmware across my devices
01:44:00 <electrohead> no it didn't
02:08:00 <gee_man> paranoia
02:14:00 <electrohead> yeah I see that lol
03:25:00 <gee_man> hi Smolletts
03:25:00 <gee_man> are you a bot?
03:27:00 <gee_man> i'll take your lack of coincidence and say yes
03:39:00 <gee_man> is your name petr Smolletts?
03:42:00 <gee_man> well, fuck the police comin' straight from the underground

20:29:00 <Spartanis> k
20:29:00 <gee_man> i can never spell that word
20:29:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> i do mispell sometimes to annoy electrohead
20:29:00 <Spartanis> im the same with Ridicolous
20:29:00 <gee_man> also i mix up affect and effect all the time
20:30:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> wanna know the biggest fuck up word ever
20:30:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> than and then

20:33:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> do you like camping grem
20:35:00 <grem> not the biggest fan
20:35:00 <Spartanis> heh.. my best ever witty comeback: one day at work, i was giving the job of customer service in the yard to load trucks with pallets of goods they purchased, you know.. to cover the guy that got sickie. One of my pet peeves is that customers always say "Keeping you busy?" .. after a while.. i kinda snapped and replied calmly, politely, with "Oh mate.. its so bloody busy, i could not find
20:35:00 <Spartanis> the time to commit suicide"
20:35:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> holy shit i need sleep lol
20:35:00 <Spartanis> shuts them up for good.. lmao
20:36:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> oh dude should work where i do
20:37:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> we stand outside in the elements as grem knows and when its raining we get the members coming through saying "dont get too wet" and here i am thinking "fuckers stop coming up to my gate and i will"
20:37:00 <Bonny> lol
20:37:00 <Bonny> yeah fuckers

20:37:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> good as gold
20:37:00 <Bonny> great to hear
20:37:00 <Spartanis> some people just not bright enough lol
20:39:00 <Spartanis> Had a young kid.. well relatively to me.. he's about 25ish.. he was assigned to me for the day.. he quizzed about my hearing aids.. wondered how it works. I sighed.. and replied: It picks up chinese porn via satelite.. and then translated it into morse code.. where it helps the ear drums do the african mating ritual beating" ..
20:40:00 <Spartanis> the dickflute actually bought it.. i excalimed "god help us all"
20:40:00 <Bonny> rofl
20:40:00 <Bonny> I wear hearing aids too
20:40:00 <Spartanis> one? or pair?
20:40:00 <Bonny> pair
20:40:00 <Spartanis> same.
20:40:00 <Bonny> I was born partially deaf

20:41:00 <Bonny> ok
20:41:00 <Spartanis> no.. i dont know sign languages.. 'except the usual rude gestures :)
20:41:00 <Bonny> lol
20:42:00 <Spartanis> you ever get people walk up to you and loudly enounciate the words slowly to you?
20:42:00 <Bonny> no cos you can't see my hearing aids
20:42:00 <Spartanis> cos i had this customer did that to me once.. i turn to my workmate and said "Is this guy retarded or wot?"
20:42:00 <Spartanis> lol
20:42:00 <Bonny> yeah it would have pissed me off too
20:43:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> i want hearing aids so i can turn down my wife
20:43:00 <Bonny> lol
20:43:00 <Spartanis> didnt piss me off.. it just golden opportunity to provide witty comebacks lol

20:48:00 <Bonny> yup
20:48:00 <Bonny> lol
20:49:00 <Spartanis> People used to go on about how the Cina Olympic Opening Ceromony in 2008(?) i think? was like.. the best ever.. I said "pfft.. try Athens 2004.. that kelpstryda scene blows my mind
20:50:00 <Bonny> yup
20:51:00 <Bonny> I reckon both sydney and athens had the best games
20:51:00 <Spartanis> opening ceremonies? yeah
20:51:00 <Bonny> yup
20:51:00 <Spartanis> Britian did came close tho.. only cos they used John Lennon's IMAGINE" correctly.. and Mr Bean's "CHariot of Fire" performance lol
20:51:00 <Bonny> yeah lol
20:52:00 <Spartanis> China's like.. overused robotic clones designed to bedazzled the crown to sleep
20:52:00 <Spartanis> lol
20:52:00 <Spartanis> crowd*
20:52:00 <Bonny> too true
20:52:00 <Bonny> what did you think of tokyo's opening ceremony last year?
20:53:00 <Spartanis> a typical Communist thing.. Soviet Union used to do that alot
20:53:00 <Spartanis> never saw it actually
20:53:00 <Bonny> ok
20:53:00 <Spartanis> any good? worth the time to watch?
20:53:00 <Bonny> wasn't much and they had restrictions and everyone wore masks
20:53:00 <Bonny> nah
20:53:00 <Spartanis> meh
20:54:00 <Bonny> tokyo lost a lot of money
20:54:00 <Spartanis> they shoulda cancled it to 202.. er.. whens the next one? lol
20:54:00 <Bonny> lol
20:54:00 <Bonny> 2004
20:54:00 <Bonny> 2024
20:54:00 <Spartanis> i mean... they skipped ww1 and ww2 so why not the p[andemic?
20:54:00 <Bonny> true
20:54:00 <Bonny> it was meant to be done in 2020 but was done in 2021
20:54:00 <Spartanis> yes.
20:55:00 <Bonny> all their stuff had 2020 on it
20:55:00 <Spartanis> which is fair enough
20:55:00 <Spartanis> but to my mind.. mights well postpone it to 2024
20:55:00 <gee_man> i keep thinking technology improves faster than it does; i thought paralympics were going to outdo the olympics
20:55:00 <Bonny> true
20:55:00 <Spartanis> lmao gee
20:55:00 <Bonny> paralympics is great
20:56:00 <Spartanis> ah yes.. sprinters with no legs will have running prosthetic legs with v8 engine outboards
20:56:00 <Bonny> that's real courage
20:56:00 <gee_man> one day paralympics will outperform olympics with crybernetic implants or exoskeletons
20:56:00 <Bonny> lol
20:56:00 <Spartanis> nah... Paralympics would outdo Olympics with abled Transgenders competing.
20:57:00 <Bonny> lol
20:57:00 <Spartanis> why not? if they can identify as disabled.. more power to them! O.o
20:57:00 <Bonny> well a mental illness is considered a disability
20:57:00 <Spartanis> lol precisely
20:58:00 <Bonny> I think I might go for a short nap.. catchyas later
20:58:00 <Spartanis> k
20:59:00 <gee_man> nite
21:03:00 <gee_man> the problem with my position is that people gaslight me when i am in the process of figuring stuff out
21:03:00 <gee_man> people purposely don't tell me information, so i try to figure it out myself
21:04:00 <gee_man> often i'm wrong, but when i'm right, it's at the expense of secrets being unveiled
21:05:00 <gee_man> it's because of the gaslighting and hiding of information that this happens
21:08:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> fuck a duck
21:10:00 <doggyrat> hello
21:10:00 <doggyrat> hello Bonny
21:10:00 <gee_man> ey doggyrat
21:11:00 <doggyrat> hello gee_man how was your weekend
21:11:00 <doggyrat> did you solve your problem with the tv signal
21:12:00 <gee_man> not sure yet
21:12:00 <gee_man> so far, so good
21:12:00 <Spartanis> yeah ... he trew the tv into the bin.. lol
21:12:00 <Spartanis> i kid i kid
21:12:00 <gee_man> still dunno why the quality drops for recordings and not live tv
21:12:00 <doggyrat> Spartanis: hello
21:13:00 <doggyrat> hello
21:14:00 <doggyrat> do you watch on your computer and where do you record the tv program
21:14:00 <gee_man> yes, recording with a usb tv tuner to my ssd
21:16:00 <doggyrat> so basically you are using two different devices and the stick does not provide the quality you do expect correct
21:16:00 <gee_man> sorta. what doesn't make sense is why there's perfect quality for live tv but not for recording
21:20:00 <doggyrat> but you are using two devices pagehaupt tv card and a usb tv stick
21:21:00 <gee_man> no, it's one device, it's just a dual tv tuner
21:21:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> this searching for a new car is fucked
21:22:00 <gee_man> sometimes you gotta wait 2 years for electric cars
21:22:00 <doggyrat> you are not living that far from work, you could take a bicycle to work
21:23:00 <doggyrat> Snoopys_Gunship: you do buy an electric car
21:24:00 <doggyrat> gee_man: did you try switching the receivers
21:25:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> fuck that
21:26:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> diesel is the way to go
21:26:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> no doggyrat when i work at the army base its 47km
21:26:00 <doggyrat> what is also possible that the memory or the cpu of the tv card is not powerful enough , because it has to store it before writing it to ssd
21:29:00 <gee_man> doggyrat i've tried a different tuner, just a single tuner, and it does the same thing
21:31:00 <doggyrat> what is wrong with the quality , does it store with a lower resolution do you have jitter
21:32:00 <gee_man> no jitter, any channel regardless of sd or hd
21:32:00 <doggyrat> hello Bonny
21:32:00 <doggyrat> hello ^pHANTOM^
21:34:00 <gee_man> well, i suppose there is jitter, if that's what you'd call low quality signal
21:35:00 <doggyrat> but it does store the tv signal on the hdd (ssd) and what is wrong with the stored video
21:35:00 <gee_man> Snoopys_Gunship you need a battery and solar panels, then you can just charge your car overnight, then you won't have to worry about recharging because it'll be charged every morning
21:36:00 <doggyrat> cloudy day i can not come to work
21:37:00 <gee_man> cloudy day still gets uv light
21:37:00 <gee_man> also, when you use solar panels and a battery, you can also use the grid
21:40:00 <gee_man> Snoopys_Gunship i suppose if you go camping, you'd want to be able to recharge, there are portable solar panels for that
21:43:00 <gee_man> petrol goes off after a year, solar panels last like 10 years
21:51:00 <gee_man> with diesel you might get another year, but it'll go off eventually
21:52:00 <gee_man> petrol could go as high as $6/L in australia
21:56:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> oh ffs im not getting a electric car
21:56:00 <Spartanis> i can imagine the roads be emoty by that time lol
21:56:00 <gee_man> ok i won't push it
21:57:00 <doggyrat> sorry there have been three dogs outside where i do live
21:57:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> plus ive got solar panels on my house already
21:57:00 <doggyrat> that was a lot of fun playing with them
21:57:00 <doggyrat> Australia is perfect for solar panels
21:58:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> i got 18 of them on my house
21:58:00 <gee_man> getting a battery? they're cheap enough now
22:01:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> wait
22:01:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> you call 10K cheap
22:01:00 <Spartanis> lol
22:01:00 <Spartanis> i was gonna say
22:01:00 <Spartanis> i got 12 panels on my house .. and i did look into batteries.. and im like.. fook dat
22:01:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> yup no i agree Spartanis
22:02:00 <gee_man> what i mean by cheap is that they'll eventually save you money
22:02:00 <gee_man> wasn't the case 3 years ago, but now it is
22:02:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> 10K every 10 years nah fuck that
22:03:00 <Spartanis> triple fook dat indeed
22:03:00 <gee_man> 12k saved in electricity bills every 10 years
22:03:00 <Spartanis> but then again.. in 10 years.. the price might reduce..
22:03:00 <Spartanis> or remain the same but the tech improoved
22:03:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> unless they can make batteries last more then 10 years ill buy into it
22:04:00 <gee_man> quantum dot batteries are making progress, but it's a bit of a pipe dream
22:04:00 <gee_man> lithium is where it's at
22:06:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> lol its funny ive had 4 hours sleep since 2pm yesterday and my wife had a good nights sleep and its her thats asleep right now snoring lol
22:08:00 <gee_man> there's a way to never need to lie down to sleep, and be literally half awake most of the time, then fully awake for 4 hours every 24 hours
22:08:00 <gee_man> basically you make half your brain sleep like whales
22:09:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> like security guards lol
22:09:00 <gee_man> security guards actually get sleep tho, and are generally more sane because they don't use this technique
22:10:00 <gee_man> you and i both know you're not that crazy at all
22:10:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> yup nah i am lol
22:10:00 <gee_man> lol
22:11:00 <Spartanis> to at least ONE person.. we're all insane :P
22:12:00 <gee_man> insanity is only ever relative to what is misunderstood
22:14:00 <doggyrat> gee_man: you still did not tell me what is wrong with the recording
22:14:00 <gee_man> i don't know doggyrat
22:14:00 <gee_man> it's a software problem
22:14:00 <gee_man> must be related to bandwidth
22:22:00 <doggyrat> that is what i thought memory or cpu power is not enough
22:25:00 <doggyrat> why do you not take a hdd tv receiver , if you can afford one
22:26:00 <gee_man> can't afford one
22:37:00 <^pHANTOM^> hello doggyrat
22:51:00 <doggyrat> hello ^pHANTOM^ sorry i had lunch and was distract because of doing some drawing
22:52:00 <doggyrat> hello cryptexx0
22:52:00 <doggyrat> where have you all been earlier
22:53:00 <doggyrat> i do enjoy the chat but now it is already time for my nap before work
22:54:00 <doggyrat> because of my exhaustion problem i need to sleep before leaving the house , otherwise i will not get over the 6 hours being away

23:34:00 <gee_man> electrohead i read the entire wikipedia article and followed a link or two but i still don't understand why i can't rebroadcast the same signal from the roof antenna
23:58:00 <gee_man> as far as i knew, there's no modulation or modification occurring between the coaxial wall socket and the antenna
23:58:00 <gee_man> or is there electrohead?
23:58:00 <Bonny> electrohead isn't on atm
23:58:00 <gee_man> ah ok
