Considering they don't play music much anymore, I wouldn't care one bit. It is from a different time like the 80s, when music videos first were popular. Now I watch You tube for those videos.

I'd go broke quick if they did. :biggrin

55 inches On the B-3 model. They were selling them cheaper late last year I think it was at the Walmart app online. Seems to be a pattern with LG. They come out with a new model and then push the older models out at discounted prices.

I "wonder" if it will be any good. ;)

Boy the lnb eyes are much bigger then the triple lnb. I wonder if the strength of signal is any higher with this one, since you don't have to see all 3 anymore?

I notice now that since I switched to an LG OLED 4k TV, my picture looks great on all devices I hook up to it. My old Hopper 3 that I use for ota recording only now, looks great on ota channels. Even METV in SD looks sharp and clear. There is no artifacts in the background on dark shots...

They are paying you to watch DISH? :biggrin

I had one of those big box tv on wheels. I was going to give it to my dad when we bought a new flat screen back in the day and my brother n law didn't lock it down with the bungee cord in his flat bed truck and it went crashing down when he stopped at a stop sign. So we ended up throwing it...

Maybe they can offer the streaming version of their service and they won't need the satellites for home service except in very rural areas with no broadband. I keep saying merge both Sling TV and DISH together for a streaming interface that looks like DISH, but keep the Sling TV programming...

I loved the 942 dvrs. I had two of them back then and they worked very well. Then they did away with them. They had name based recording and worked great with mpeg 2. The 921 pvr was a nightmare for me and so was the 811 HD receiver. Kept both of them on a surge protector so I could flip...

I have to agree they need to focus on their video business since the 4th cell phone provider company plans are now gone. I think that could include buying Directv and merging the two companies and hopefully making it attractive again to new subs like they said in the article. I guess we...

Going backwards

I do. :biggrin

We don't have any in my immediate area. Conn's Appliances was a company most in our area relied on for over 75 years and they went belly up this last year. So it's between Lowes, Home Depot and Best Buy. Sears is long gone. Between all these big stores, they pushed out any small mom/pop...

There's a guy who is all about 3.0 on You tube and he said the sticking point is that the ota channels in 3.0 will use encryption, which doesn't allow recording them. The FCC has already told channel owners if they want to go to 3.0 and drop their 1.0 HD signal they can do so. But if we...
