    Cable And Satellite Providers Required To Disclose “All In” Pricing Under Newly Passed FCC Rules

    Most installs are the Hopper and the Joey setup. The Wallys have been more for recreational vehicles and out door accounts and tail gaters. I have had both Hopper and the Wally and the Wallys have been a lot of trouble, at least for my parents on my second account I used to have. The Hopper...

    Cable And Satellite Providers Required To Disclose “All In” Pricing Under Newly Passed FCC Rules

    Boy when they have to post all their DVR Fees and additional receiver Fees in with the programming cost as well ,they will really see churn and a drop off of potential subs. I mean you would pay with a Hopper and two joeys : $15.00 DVR FEE $7.00 x 2 joeys =$14.00...

    Cable has no one to blame but themselves for killing the goose that laid the golden egg. Their price hikes and excessive fees made their service unusable to a majority of the people. :oops:

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

    No, I am a jock strap wearer. I don't wear underwear to the Ymca. I rarely free ball except when I sleep in my bed. I wear under wear for regular things like going out and visits to the doctor etc. :smug

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

    Personally I wear jock straps with my gym clothes. Our junior high and high school required it in the 70s. I go to the Ymca 6 - 7 days a week ,so no underwear for me. Wear it only on special Holiday occasions or when I go to the doctor. :biggrin2

    Elsbeth-CBS

    Yeah, I wonder how a lawyer from the Good Wife suddenly becomes a detective in this show? But she is funny and I do like the show. I liked her as the waitress in HBO True Blood too. They even had her co-star from that show in the first episode and he played Bill the vampire in True Blood...

    Tracker - CBS

    Just another procedural drama series for CBS the home of elderly programming. But I do like Justin Hartley so I am watching it. We used to watch him on that crazy Passions soap opera on NBC like 24 years ago. Also on This is Us on NBC, but lost interest in that show after they killed off...

    News Nation Channel Move

    That would make more sense to put it with the main news channels.

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

    I didn't think they would. Satellite TV is dying a quick death. Add to that the Boost 5g money pit and you can see why DISH can't pay it's debt. Bankruptcy is the only option. The question will it be restructured Bankruptcy or a total liquidation going out of business sale. :rolleyes:

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

    Yes, Charlie Ergen flew to Dubai last May 2023 and came back empty handed. The bank is closed right now. Unless maybe Elon Musk want's to buy in? He is already worth less since he took on Twitter at $45 billion and it's only worth $19 billion now. He is now number 2 in wealth after Jeff...

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

    I said the same thing. Boost was not a good investment since we have had cell phones for about 20 years now. Trying to start a complete cell phone network by scratch and compete with established cell phone companies was a bad idea. If Charlie is smart he will sell some of that bandwith to...

    What the hell...I have to pay to cancel

    Amen, that was where DISH went wrong. Before that, they were trying for low prices and value for the customers. Once they added Dvr fees and raised the additional receiver fees they made themselves out of sight in pricing. Especially once they added the Hopper with a $15.00 Dvr fee and then...

    Amazon shutting down it's FreeVee service?

    The shipping isn't worth it to me any longer. I wait some times for a week or more to get certain items and that is sometimes the ones that say Prime 2 day shipping. They have lost many of my items and I get refunds after they say LOST, to then find them show up a few days later. I paid...

    Amazon shutting down it's FreeVee service?

    Amazon is going to be losing subs to Prime at this rate. After forcing ads after advertising no ads for years and pushing the better video and sound to the higher pack to get it, I don' think they are making friends here. I cancelled our Prime membership after this and I only paid $6.00 for...

    What’s keeping you guys with Dish Network…

    I left in Dec. of 2021 after I quit working & retired and had 25 years with DISH. I went with Sling TV and the interface isn't as good as the Hopper was, but the price I pay is so much less now. The DISH fees kept adding up and the prices kept going up every year since 2000. My parents on...

    Walmart Seals Deal to Buy VIZIO

    I had a VIZIO TV some years back and it didn't even make it to a year before the screen had a black bar across the screen. So they replaced that one since it was under a year warranty and then it happened again with a black bar across the screen and this time I bought another TV brand and have...

    Email from Amazon about Prime Video

    It's not just the ads with Amazon. You also don't get the better 4k picture quality or Dolby Atmos sound unless you pay for the higher priced ad free pack. Something else they left out of their email. :rolleyes:

    YouTube TV is now the #4 Video Provider for the United States

    Well I am surprised we haven't heard that there will be another price hike, since they are #4 provider now. This is usually when we hear of price hikes and it will only go up each year like it did with cable and satellite.

    Email from Amazon about Prime Video

    I cancelled my Amazon prime membership. Since you can get free shipping with only $35.00 and we always order once a month more than that and the fact I have seen all the original programming I want to see I cancelled it. So I can save that $139.00 yearly membership. I cancelled Paramount and...
