    Its TEAM SUMMIT week!

    Never bet against Charlie. I’m hoping he has an endless supply of rabbits and a very big hat.

    Auto Racing 2024

    Saw this at the BBC. An interesting article on medical safety development in F1 as well as the relationship between the guy who made that happen and one of the greatest racers ever, Aryton Senna. https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/c1ejpl7k2lqo

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    I'd think a large pool of Dish customers are older and don't know how to stream or pay bills online.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Very funny/sad. I'm not young, but in 2024 I just cannot imagine calling some company to pay my bill.

    Directv rewards ripped me off

    Final update. Never got an e-mail from this company. I tried through the wallet page again on Directv rewards and it actually worked. I just used the 100 bucks towards my Directv bill that's coming in a few days. I decided to get rid of it quick so I didn't have to keep up with a virtual...

    Could the US go to Freeview Satellite instead of local over-the-air TV?

    In Europe, most countries have only a handful "local" stations all in. The same probably goes for much of Asia and Africa. Drawing parallels isn't reasonable.

    Seeking Advice on Installing FTA Satellite Dish for International Programming in RV

    Another thing to consider, to increase the number of foreign channels available. Get a Roku device and connect to WiFi reception. There are many hundreds, if not thousands of channels available from around the world, and many are free of charge. It will supplement your satellite reception and...

    What is a modulator?

    And more than likely shouldn't.

    Auto Racing 2024

    ESPN is only paying $75-90m/year to broadcast F1 on ABC/ESPN though 2025, which includes more than each grand prix, as the lead up to each race is several hours of content over a few days.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    For a while, but once 2000 hit the yearly price hikes and assorted fees started coming every year and haven't stopped yet.:smug

    Vegas, the sports town?

    Yes, regardless of the outcome of the effort for the Athletics to build a stadium, Bally's will be doing something else w/ the Tropicana site and that hotel is done. Bally's and the Athletics are still hashing out many details about the footprint and layout of the site while the Athletics...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    My son bought his first used car when he was in Florida in the Marines. He has been getting emails and phone texts and now snail mail from XM over and over again for the last 4 years. The other day I delivered his mail under his door in his room and I put the Sirius XM mail on top and I went...

    Could the US go to Freeview Satellite instead of local over-the-air TV?

    If you go to Europe, you probably won’t be spending a lot of time watching TV in the room. But if you do, you’ll probably notice that it’s a little bit different. Even today, you’ll see fewer over-the-air channels than we have in the US, and the ones that are there are more national than local...

    Seeking Advice on Installing FTA Satellite Dish for International Programming in RV

    I think you are giving the US government way too much credit here. I doubt very much that they care about those small motorized dishes, if they even know what they are in the first place. Instead, I think it simply comes down to the market. True legit FTA in US/Canada is mostly a hobby, and the...

    Maybe if they dropped the charge to pay your bill over the phone would be a good start

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Actually he started in 1980 with Jim well before scrambling/hacking, and his infamous VC deal involved a one-time sale of 50,000 untampered modules that were meant to go into his IR/Ds but were of a type that had been cracked and so had become market-valuable. But there are plenty of people who...
