    https://www.thestreet.com/technology/disney-hulu-and-espn-are-making-a-major-change-subscribers-will-hate So this is what Disney said they were going to do regarding password sharing in their email. *something unspecific* Their email did include a link to the T&C... seriously! How will this...

    Auto Racing 2024

    24 hrs at Daytona is in 1.5 weeks. Should be fun. Indycar is flirting with a hybrid. IMSA's hybrid will be in its second season, so experimenting will begin. NASCAR returns to IMS "oval" as Penske opens the track to all comers... and hopefully unshredded tires. Will Sparklefarts return to the...

    What? No ODI World Cup Thread?

    It is that time again, the ODI World Cup, which is opening up as we speak with England facing New Zealand. This is a rematch of the cracker final between the two in 2019, which was just beyond awesome... a great way to get into the game. Confused by cricket? You don't need to be, it is like...

    What, no Rugby World Cup thread

    Peacock, Rugby World Cup NFL players are typically absurdly big, strong, and fast. And you put them next to Rugby players and you think OMG they look tiny. 40 minutes, on going action most of the time. Some guys with thighs thicker than trees, base muscle, not the clear trimmed muscle but...

    No Starz offer with Dish anymore?

    I grew accustomed to seeing Starz for $5 a month for the last 35 years or so, and when I was checking offers online, I noticed that the Starz one was not to be seen. All the others were there, Showtime, Movie Pack, DogTV. A carriage thing brewing there or was I just beloved by Dish, but no...

    What... no FIFA World Cup thread? ;)

    So, the World Cup kicked off yesterday. This year it is being played in a place that is the source of probably 25% of the financing of European football. Hence, why it is being played in a nation with almost no football, or even a native football team and required building a bunch of stadiums...

    What, no ICC T20 World Cup thread? :D

    Yup, World Cup is on going in Australia. India and Pakistan had a doozy in what appeared to be a sold out crowd. Crowds at this World Cup so far have been between meager to boisterous. Pakistan struggled to get the bats going initially, but finally managed a brief partnership. That broke down...

    Odd Showtime Offers

    So I was checking my offers and I saw the typical $5 a month for 3 months for Showtime. However, there is a new one now, $1.99 a month for 4 months... which is umm... a much better deal. None of the other premiums have a similar cheaper, more like a streaming only deal. I rarely ever watch...

    ESPN+ Bumping up $3 a month

    link Prepare for the online wailing. On one hand, it is just $36 more a month. On the other, it is a 43% increase. However you cut it, ESPN+ is getting more expensive. ESPN has been gobbling up sports rights again, and this is now showing up on their price. Currently, the Disney bundle...

    Indy 500 (2022)

    Well, the qualifying is complete. One thing about Indy Car right now, it is stuffed with awesome old talent, awesome middle aged talent, and awesome young talent. The front row, Veekay, Palou, and Dixon who has been racing since the motors were in the front (okay... that isn't true, but he has...

    722k OTA (missing sub channels)

    I have an odd issue (?) with the 722k OTA module. Some channels I can only get some of the subchannels. When it scans it sees most of the subs, but when turning to the station, no signal. In general, channel strengths are 90+. For instance, WVIZ has 8 or so subs. A scan shows 25-1 to 25-5 then...

    A la carte starting to consolidate

    link Yup, so a spinoff that consolidates media. I presume this means their media is never going elsewhere. $55 billion in debt... to start off! AT&T spins off a company to get money infusion, which is paid for with debt. Gotta love America!

    Ravioli anyone?

    Even with the right tools, ravioli takes time. Unfortunately double cream gouda and parano cheese is unavailable. Luckily Target sells Tillimook cheese (out of Oregon). They had a bag of shredded parmesan and mozzarella. So mix that with an egg and I don’t know 3/4 cup of ricotta and that...

    Hopper ‘channel-less’ timer?

    My MIL wants to create a timer on her Hopper 1 that isn’t stuck to a channel like Dishpass (I think) on the 722k. She doesn’t think it can be done. In other words she wants a timer to search for programs with a specific term in the title, regardless of the channel. Is this possible?

    TLC Welcome Pack?

    Did TLC just fall off of the Welcome Pack. My MIL brought this to my notice as I haven’t watched the channel since the early 00’s. It doesn’t show up anymore, didn’t know when it didn’t. Not showing it is on Welcome on their website. It looks like Flex Pack would be the cheapest option for...

    Directv has some cool tech!

    So, I had AT&T (Directv) people stop by the home. I let them know I already had their high speed internet and wasn't switching from Dish. Of course, they need to still press and I quickly tell them I have 2 TB of programming on the external hard drive I'm not going to walk away from. 'Oh...

    Nick Jr - On Demand

    Is there any on demand programming via Sling TV for Nick Jr? It occurred to me I could use SlingTV to get access to NBCSN ($25) And Flex to keep DVR access for TCM, Cooking, CN and a few other channels, as well as access to the EHD ($35) If Nick Jr. had on demand via Sling, I could hold off on...

    Is Sling TV primarily live with limited replay

    Looking at the SlingTV site, it appears that Sling, unlike Vue has limited channels that can reshow something for only 3 days, whereas Vue seems to allow a lot of replay for nearly a month. This would be a problem if I can only watch EPL live.

    Ack, HBO is on to us!

    Yup... looks like HBO figured it out. On Demand is available with the free preview, but the On Demand expires with the free previews! The monsters! Well... alright, completely reasonable, but still... they are monsters! I demand the best in premium programming for nothing! :)

    Disney Slate and HDCP?

    722k with Top 200. I'm getting HDCP errors for all of the Disney channels (everything from ESPN to Disney Jr). Anyone else having this issue?

    All recordings on 722k disappeared.

    This is what I've been told. My MIL's 722k was doing a reset. It was taking a while (5 to 10 minutes) and seemed to freeze and the MIL decided to reset again. When she looked at the DVR the following day, all of her recordings were gone. She has an external drive, and those recordings are...

    Channel Unrequest Thread - The Animal Planet

    The Animal Planet - I would like to request that during the next negotiations for this channel that Dish drop it. Their recent fake documentaries on mermaids is enough to make anyone interested in educational programming to throw an outrageous fit. If it isn't possible to immediately drop the...

    Olympics - On Demand

    Must say, I like the On Demand selection and streaming quality for this year's Olympics. I've been able to catch up on the lesser popular sports, X-Country skiing and the like at my leisure. Quite happy with how Dish has made this stuff available, especially based on how unusable the NBC...
