    NBC Sports in Flex Pack?

    My parents have the Flex Pack. They mostly watch the local channels and basic channels like TBS, USA, and TV Land so this works well for them. I add the National Action Pack for them for football in the fall and the Regional Action Pack for them for MLB in the summer. This saves them a decent...

    Red Dead Redemption 2 Coming Spring 2018

    I know there was already a thread discussing this game but I was unable to find it after a couple searches. Rockstar released a new trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 today. It's coming to PS4 and Xbox One in Spring 2018. There still hasn't been any official confirmation that the game will be...

    Multi-sport with Flex Pack?

    I haven't been around this part of the the forum in quite a while because I no longer have Dish but my parents still do. My dad is a big football fan so I just did my annual routine of going on Dish's customer support chat to see if I could get him any promo rates for Multi-Sport with Redzone...

    I currently have Spectrum Silver bundled with 60 Mbps internet for $113 after CableCard rental and taxes. I'm happy with this bundle but I want NFL Redzone for football season. I just called Charter support and it looks like my two options are to upgrade to a Spectrum Gold bundle and get all...

    https://www.oculus.com/en-us/ The Oculus Rift is now available for pre-order. It costs $599 and starts shipping on March 28th. A year ago I thought these headsets were ridiculous but as I heard more and more people in the games industry describe how awesome VR is I started to really want to...

    Making a Murderer on Netflix

    Im surprised there wasn't already a thread about this. Everyone is talking about it on my Twitter and Facebook feeds. It's a documentary series about a man in Wisconsin who went to jail for rape even though there was no physical evidence he was involved. He was in jail for 18 years before a DNA...

    Podcast App

    Is anyone else having problems with the Podcast App since upgrading to iOS 9? I am using an iPhone 6 if that matters. Here are the problems I am seeing. First, if I resume a podcast I started listening to earlier the volume is only about half as loud as the scroll bar says it should be. It...

    ESPN Ticker

    When did we get the ESPN Ticker added to the sports section? It's a nice touch. I don't visit the sports section as often as I used to anymore but I'm still there from time to time and today is the first time I have noticed it.

    How are you liking Sling TV?

    Now that it's looking like my Tigers won't make the MLB Postseason I'm thinking about dropping my cable subscription a couple months earlier than planned. The good thing about using Charter with my Tivo is that I can seamlessly switch between OTA and cable with the same equipment and not lose...

    Black Mirror on Netflix

    I wasn't sure if this should go in the streaming forum or here since the show is on Netflix. It seems to fit more with the usual theme of discussion here though. This show is kind of like The Twilight Zone but it's all based around technology. The name Black Mirror comes from what our various...

    Thinking about adding Charter TV

    I've been using OTA only with WMC as my DVR for the last year. I just received the 4 tuner Roamio with 2 years of service paid up front as a Christmas present. I've been perfectly happy with OTA and streaming for the last year but now that I could have 2 years with my only equipment fee being a...

    Free Game Codes

    I know that a few of us buy a lot of Humble Bundles and occasionally end up with codes for games we already own. I figured we could help out other Satellite Guys gamers by giving away those duplicate codes. We could just post our codes here but I prefer doing it via PM to make sure the codes go...
