    DirecTV dropping "Advanced Receiver Fee" for new accounts, devices now $10/month

    Why not just let people buy the boxes and charge a lower mirror fee like dish does!!! instead of adding all of these crazy fee's. at this point it's not worth it unless there going to launch another sat wich is not happening

    Comcast running fiber?

    I got Spectrum Fiber a couple of years ago in my very rural neck of the NC woods thanks to the RDOF and it's been quite reliable considering it's aerial. I did keep Starlink though on the $5 per month Standby plan.

    Getting into HAM in 2024?

    Hi WhiteBeard. Morse code is no longer a requirement here in Canada either, which has opened up the hobby to a lot more people. The ham radio hobby is so huge. Some people are into HF only, some are into digital modes only. Some people in our radio club only use CW (morse code). I...

    FanDuel Sports Networks could possibly shutter soon

    Even then, the bottom line may be cheaper -- especially if you're paying upwards of $150/month for an MVPD.

    FanDuel Sports Networks could possibly shutter soon

    Streaming can be cheaper, and that's perhaps most important.

    Getting into HAM in 2024?

    HF setups definitely are expensive. Just a decent HF transceiver will set you back $1500. Then a power supply, tower, HF antenna, concrete, cabling, maybe guy wires, VHF/UHF antennas, etc could get you to $3000+. C-band satellite isn't all that cheap either.

    Getting into HAM in 2024?

    Welcome to the "club". We don't have a morse code requirement in the U.S. anymore. I didn't get all that proficient with it but I did get to 15 WPM but then they dropped the requirement which made it easy for me to get the Extra class license. I have had a radiotelephone license since the early...

    Bally Sports and MSG RSN Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    It is a disease I apparently was born with. It could be worse though if I wanted to watch the Cardinals though.

    iOS, MacOS, etc. 26 is making me seriously consider switching

    I agree, and the mini is probably a good idea. It would make a ton of sense if I was still working and needed serious firepower. But I am in my late 70s and retired. I browse the net, use word and excel, occasionally use a videoconferencing app and do taxes. As long as those still work, I...

    FanDuel Sports Networks could possibly shutter soon

    No I don't think it is. It can't narrow if both are still raising their prices. The price increase percentage is lower for sat and cable than the price increase percentage of streamers because they are already so expensive but the dollar amounts for my DIRECTV service is more than any streamer I...

    2025-26 College Football

    They brought this on themselves when the leagues rake in billions in TV revenue and the players got nothing. Now that the players are paid employees the greed evened out. There is more parity now and it’s not just the same 4 teams winning it all. They need to change the portal rules though. It...

    Is the gap narrowing? Considering you may need 2-3 streamers. Ignoring sports to keep it simple.

    Getting into HAM in 2024?

    Just reviving an old thread here. Scott Greczkowski did you eventually get your ham license? It is a hobby that is fun and will give you a lifetime of learning. I used to be heavily into C-Band, Ku-Band satellite years ago and used to visit this site daily. Life got busy with marriage...
