Update: JohnH is fine. He was never really in bad health but he needed to make some changes in his life and has moved on. He no longer owns satellite equipment or a computer so the uplink reports are pretty much at an end.

We are working behind the scenes to continue the uplink reports some time in the future. No promises but we will do our best.

All the best to JohnH and thanks so much for years of dedication and service to DBSTalk!

I'm curious if Dish fabricated lawsuit against him and force sign pre-trial agreement to kill his activity for his lifetime.

Worst thing is we will never know it because such agreements are confidential and sealed by court.

Thank you JohnH for your dedication to this hobby. Without the uplink activity reports you published and helped develop, keeping the EKB charts accurate and complete would be a virtual impossibility.

Thank you. Without you, the EKB wouldn't be half as good as it is today.

I am okay, but will not be doing uplink reports for quite some time, if ever. I had a disagreement with my employer and departed, leaving everything behind.
Thanks for the messages. This one is coming via Blackberry Curve and TMoble.

What would one need to produce the uplink reports? What type of hardware and software would be needed?

That's unusual - employer's liability for a hobby.

Recalling long history of your contribution at Lyngsat I thought you have whole nine yard of dishes at your home. Those reports covered C-band also, some of your info came from your Dish subbed receivers as you explain here a few times.

[Sounds your employer was your wife and when you left her your home/computers/receivers and those dishes left behind ]

A dish pointed to any Dish sat, DVB-S card (PCI/PCIe/USB) and PC with Windows and TSReaderLite SW.

Glad to hear you're doing well, JohnH!

I was worried there for a while when we hadn't heard anything. I always looked forward to your uplink reports, and I appreciate all of the effort you must've put into them.

We'll get along fine without the reports. The important thing is that you are healthy and still with us!

Any what you like and fit into your expenses plan. In case of doing same reports for DTV, only one PCI card - TH1020a.

Chris, do you have any news as if/when we might have an uplink report here again?
