    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    Because the value and deal is worth more to Google than just getting people to sign up to buy Sunday ticket. It's a vehicle for both brand value and subscriber growth for their pay tv service and a partnership in other areas.

    Spring Cleaning?

    Maybe hidden for logged in users? I had wondered about that so had checked via incognito before I posted.

    Spring Cleaning?

    Now that it's visible at the top level, it looks so random that a satellite discussion site has a member exclusive subforum for EVs lol.

    Auto Racing 2024

    Just finished watching the F1 race. One heck of a first lap spectacle followed by a real snoozer of a race. Not as into the other motorsports but expect whatever does happen in that weather will be on the TVs at my brother's today, so hopefully a little more entertaining.

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    Typically they have their foot down where they are going to place the ball, or have established a point of reference. Sometimes it's also because they're swapping the ball out for the K-ball to kick, etc. There's so much that goes into this stuff, I have no interest in baseball but ask my...

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    I think this is routine because you don't want it moving under any circumstances, and there's a lot of people around the ball, the chains themselves, the stick, etc. A lot of circumstances where someone could stumble, etc. I think most systems are probably better and more precise than how...

    Star Trek Discovery

    Yeah, not sure how I feel about this last one. Felt too clean somehow. Enjoyed the ship porn this season though, the shuttlebay stuff was spiffy. I don't see how the Breen don't just annihilate them though. That's some awfully thick plot armor. Moll would have also just kinda headshot both...

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

    The thing I can't get past, is what a viable pay TV service looks like, because we don't know. Regardless of their financials all traditional services are losing subs at an unsustainable rate. Red Lobster will attempt to retool and come out of bankruptcy with a plan to move forward in a...

    How things have changed

    It's called discussing your posts. If I said everyone who didn't like streaming is just old and because they grew up without the internet they lack the intelligence to grasp how the industry is changing, would you just agree or make your case that you don't fall under those broad claims /...

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

    Right. And in the interim the banks interest is ensuring Dish doesn't play a shell game with assets to devalue their investment or diminish the plummeting value of what collateral they have left. “Through a brazen series of related transactions,” billions of dollars of assets were transferred...

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

    Dog will write it off and move on like it's any other Thursday. (not a great analogy in the first place IMO) Doubt the banks are overly concerned here, just doing their due diligence. It's Dish trying to find a way to be viable going forward without a very clear path to doing so. The dog...

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

    Strip it for parts and move on, continuing to do business as usual? The real question is what will happen to the car.

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    They're doing what they feel will maximize revenue. None of this is surprising and I'll be happy to subscribe in the short term to access the content I'd like to watch as long as it makes sense financially when the time comes. Whatever doesn't work out, doesn't. They'll pivot and find another...

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

    What I don't see coming however, is those content providers closing up their direct to consumer shops and sticking with the middlemen. They will adjust, bundle and merge to find the right mix to create a sustainable business model. They aren't going back to only the middlemen, and as a result...

    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.

    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'

    Think this remains to be seen. For the pay TV business in particular, it's not clear what a sustainable service looks like and at what point providers will stop losing customers and return to a manageable level of churn.

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

    They have cards to play, but it's not a pretty hand and most probably won't be happy with the result.

    Vegas, the sports town?

    The same type of people who would have rather not seen Allegiant Stadium or Terminal 3 at LAS lose in court for perhaps a final time to prevent the A's from receiving their tax credits (if the project even happens). There is no schools bill that wasn't funded because of the effort to bring the...

    Latest CME causing issues with satellites?

    It's the most significant solar storm in more than 2 decades. Some interreference, at least in the form of lower tolerances for faults is to be expected. That being said, operators of all things vulnerable to this kind of thing have been spending the last 2 decades preparing for just this kind...

    Google Scores NFL Sunday Ticket Package

    Yeah, passing on any discounts and just keeping YTTV off until the fall. Will come out ahead just turning it all off/on every 6 months, reassessing the best option for local/ESPN access each cycle.
