Dish Removal and streaming device question
I received an email from the Church titled "ACTION ITEMS: Satellite Dish Removal". At the bottom of the message is this step:
3) Determine if streaming devices will be needed in your stake. Please complete the Request for Streaming Receiver Form if additional streaming devices are required.
Before I can determine if our buildings need one, I need to know what is the "streaming device"? Is it the Teradek VidiU web streaming box, or is it a stream receiver of some kind?

Receiver. The idea is it will replace your satellite receiver.stephendoud wrote:Before I can determine if our buildings need one, I need to know what is the "streaming device"? Is it the Teradek VidiU web streaming box, or is it a stream receiver of some kind?
Note, this is only for buildings that currently have satellite. It's not for ordering devices for buildings that don't have a dish. I believe they'll be made available separately for stakes that wish to buy some to equip their other buildings.

Re: Dish Removal and streaming device question
Point 7 of their FAQ page indicates it's a receiving device.
Edit: Looks like you beat me to the punch, Russell.
Kind of interesting, because I didn't know receiving devices, typically an inexpensive Android TV device, had been issued to each stake yet.7. If stakes already have a streaming device, do they need to purchase a new streaming device?
No. If stakes already have a streaming device for each building where broadcasts will be received, there is no need to spend additional funds for additional devices. Those stakes that do not have a streaming device already can request one by completing the Request for Streaming Receiver form before the end of 2020, and a receiver device will be made available.

Re: Dish Removal and streaming device question
Thanks for your reply Russell, but it does not answer my question. I found the answer - I clicked the link in item 3) to "the Request for Streaming Receiver Form" and it states, "Stakes that already have a streaming device (e.g. Roku, Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Android TV, or laptop) that supports a web browser or apps like the Latter-day Saints Channel or YouTube should use those apps and not order devices here."russellhltn wrote:Receiver.

So the streaming device is a web stream receiver, not a streaming web-caster.

They haven't. But some stakes went ahead and got some on their own.Mikerowaved wrote:Kind of interesting, because I didn't know receiving devices, typically an inexpensive Android TV device, had been issued to each stake yet.

Re: Dish Removal and streaming device question
I guess this means the different modulators in our a/v rack are now unnecessary...

Re: Dish Removal and streaming device question
The operative word being "different". I'm hard pressed to think of a use for multiple modulators. But I'd want at least one, and perhaps a spare for transmitting stake conference to the different rooms.bphilli7 wrote:I guess this means the different modulators in our a/v rack are now unnecessary...

Re: Dish Removal and streaming device question
In our Stake Centre we have two modulators. One for Spanish and one for Portugese used to distribute these languages, in separate rooms, during General Conference.russellhltn wrote:I'm hard pressed to think of a use for multiple modulators.

Re: Dish Removal and streaming device question
Just to clarify, multiple modulators had their use for multiple languages, but once the satellite receivers have been removed, I can't think of a use case for having more than one.

Re: Dish Removal and streaming device question
Two questions about this
1. Where has the official information about satellite receivers being withdrawn been published?
2. Or is it on a country by country basis?
