    DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 5/15/2024

    We haven't even seen them shut off all the MPEG2 SD local markets. It appears all they're doing is getting rid of enough markets to drop spot beams and serve whatever is left using the 6 tpns that used to be spotbeams, similar to what they did at 119. Both for the same reason, the satellite...

    Disney Is ‘Pretty Dramatically’ Reducing Spending on Traditional TV Content

    Then why pay. I get the majority of content from paid Live TV, all the streaming exclusives, Netflix, Apple TV+, MAX and Showtime, all in the highest tiers(except Peacock), no commercials and 4K. All for under $75 a month. And yes, I get Live News, CNN via MAX.

    Except that with streaming, the content purveyors can essentially charge a "DVR" fee for no-ad shows in a way they couldn't with service provider DVR.

    Disney Is ‘Pretty Dramatically’ Reducing Spending on Traditional TV Content

    Dish Hopper 4 with much larger Hard drive???
