The UK (and Ireland also?) participates. I think a lot of English-speaking people use VPNs to stream the BBC. It was carried by Logo, MTV's gay-themed channel, for a few years, but I'm not sure they still do. It was also on Peacock, the NBC/Comcast streaming platform, for a few years, but...

The semifinals are May 7th and 9th, and the final is May 11. It appears that RTPi will be carrying it live at 3PM EDT on the 7th, delayed to 5:30 PM EDT on the 9th, and live at 3PM EDT on the 11th. BVN is carrying it, but I can't find a way to get their website to tell me what timezone the...

If people think that the parking fee makes moral or logical sense, then that's the problem right there! (If you're worried about non-patrons using the parking spots, make them show a ticket to get into the lot. It's not rocket science. But then again, apparently rocket science isn't even...

You were supposed to be able to do it, by federal law. But I don't think there were a lot of options for receivers ever made, and I don't know if any cable company was ever penalized for not complying. But at least they tried. I don't know if the law is still in effect (I have a feeling that...

I said a long time ago that they should've been held to the same standard as cable: you could buy your own receiver and get a card from the programing provider.

Mark just sold his basketball team, so hopefully he has the time and money to take care of his TV channel if that's really where the problem is coming from.

I emailed the old address that used to get stuff like this fixed, even though people have said it doesn't work anymore. It didn't bounce, but nobody answered it either.

I use timers very rarely, but I've never had a problem with them. I did do a clean install of version 5, versus importing my settings from the old version. I seem to remember all sorts of problems doing that in the past. And it lets me get a fresh scan of all my satellites anyway.

The bring-your-own-phone pages say that hotspot is available as an add-on. They don't say how much it costs.

It's been happening for a few weeks, and seems to be getting worse. I know my dish alignment isn't fantastic, but there are no breakups on any other channels, and more to the point, there's no break whatsoever in the video, just the audio.

I'll take it if you haven't sold it already. I can pay by PayPal.

I have something very similar to this on my Hopper 2 on H264: does HWS H264 have a bug with watching a recording in progress? I think it's updated to H265 since then, but I haven't been brave enough to test it. And tonight I had an absolutely ridiculous glitch. I started watching Andrew...

You're not going to be happy when 103 shuts down. I don't know when that's supposed to be, but I imagine it's not too far off since most of what's on it is duplicated on 101.

No such issues here, just the watching-a-recording-in-progress issue I posted about.

If I'm not mistaken, there's no flex pack that has MTV Classic, which is the only MTV channel we watch. The package lineups would seem to be deliberately designed to be useless if one wants anything other than the most insipid basic channels.
