    Recommendation for a cell phone for a senior with dexterity issues

    "Smart Dvr"???????

    So as a former Dish customer and current cord cutter, I receive the typical "please come back" mailings once or twice a month. It's been over a year, we are reasonably happy with OTA and streaming, and it is certainly a big cost savings. I usually take a quick look at the mailings on the off...

    OTA question, eastern Massachusetts

    I cannot seem to consistently receive WLVI channel 56.1 or WBPX channel 68.1. All other Boston channels come in 90-100% of the time. Any words of wisdom? I live in Ayer, Ma. Antenna is 20 ft up. I have a basic understanding of the difference between digital broadcasts and analogue. I guess...

    DISH & RSNs a positive comment

    So none of us are happy with the part time RSNs, the late STARTS, and other issues. But we stay right where are... Yesterday, during the Redsox game it was announced that there would be a day-night double header played today. Obviously this has to do with Irene and MLB scheduling. So this...
