    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    Yes, I live in Clawson (SE Oakland County).

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    I'm paying $40.99 with WOW! for 300/20 (although I am getting closer to 40 down). 123.net is now in my town offering fiber. $59 for 250/250, $69 for (I think) 600/600 and $79 for 1 gig/1 gig. My wife won't approve a switch because of the price increase. WOW! has been very stable for me since...

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    They collapsed with a terrible stretch in March. They kinda didn't deserve to make the playoffs after that. But they did get 6 points in the last four games (all OT games). Damn, just one more point from either out of the two loses and they would have been in.

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    I just watched the Pistons for the novelty of watching BSN Detroit via ota. They did win one of the two games I watched. And the Wings were in the playoff hunt. They did win their last two games against Montreal. Those games were pretty exciting. The Wings came from behind to go to OT in both games.

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    Cable is going away because it won't let you pick and choose smaller packages to bundle. Very few cord-cutters use the internet cable replacements and instead pay for various VOD services. My wife and I go through what we watch every year and drop or add these services. When I dropped cable six...

    Traditional Providers Losses, the entire year of 2023 Edition

    The loss of channels that are merely duplicates of other channels or devoid of new programming would actually benefit consumers. Most channels only broadcast three or four new series in a week filling most of the time with reruns. Combining three or four channels worth of new programming into...

    Paramount +

    Pretty clean from what I've been calling it. ;)

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    The money I saved in the last 6 years has more than paid for the tv I bought since I cut the cord. I'm currently saving $100/month compared to what I paid in 2018. Although I have only saved about $70/month in some years (we always evaluate what we watch every year). Thanks to Black Friday...

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    They can't get too stupid with pricing. It is ala carte and people can chose not to buy.

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    I'm thinking it will probably start at $40 and go up in price by $5 every year. I might be able to afford this since I'm only paying $25/month for Philo. I'll be retiring at the end of the year, so I will have more time to watch 3 hour games. My work hours just don't allow me to start watching a...

    Netflix becomes home to all WWE content, including RAW, Smackdown, and live events

    Peacock isn't a threat to Netflix. Besides look at the NFL. Games on other networks and services are advertised all the time on a game.

    NFL 2023-2024 Season

    Do you really think that it would have been that much higher on a Saturday night? I think maybe 10% higher, but 23 million is pretty impressive no matter where it was televised.

    T-Mobile Netflix Rate Increase

    If you have any doubts about how effective HDR is, watch the Harry Potter movies (especially the last two) on 4k discs. The shadows in the Blu-Rays were far too dark. You can actually see the details on the 4K discs.

    Apple TV + price increase

    Not only that but these are all ad-free with some 4K. You won't get this on Dish Flex.

    Bally Sports RSNs Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    Hulu isn't a global service due to Disney not wanting to make it more valuable and then paying Comcast more money. If they entirely owned it, nothing would have stopped them in making it global.

    Bally Sports RSNs Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    As much as I use/like streaming, I just don't see D+ being profitable by the end of 2024. They've dug themselves too deep a hole for that. I would have taken the money they used for D+ and buy out Comcast's share of Hulu and then added D+ as a premium tier in Hulu. Spending and losing billions...

    Bally Sports RSNs Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    Hey, I was born in 1956 and my wife was born in 1958 and we both have embraced streaming for the last five years! We barely use a DVR at all.

    More Cable Channels are about to end due to cord cutting

    Just another reason why my Tivo isn't doing much anymore. I was recording episodes off of METV, but I just recorded/downloaded all six seasons from Amazon using Playon instead.

    First ATSC 3.0 OTA Experience today

    This is my prediction on ATSC 3.0. X.1 feed is 1080p with 4x 720p sub-channels. Or X.1 feed (which has to be free) @ 720p with the X.2 feed @ 4K, but only accessable through some sort of up charge. This all about the money.

    AMC+ rolls out ad-support

    I've tried various streaming services on discount through Amazon Prime channels. AMC+ wasn't worth it for me. Even at 99 cents!

    Disney/Hulu News

    I have no interest In Disney+. That's why I hate the fact that I can't get a bundle discount on just Hulu and ESPN+. Disney has been making such poor decisions lately and spend way too much in creating content. This is probably the main reason they are raising prices so much. As far as losing...

    Broadcast Ratings down 9% for 2022-2023 as Cord Cutting Speeds Up

    Years ago I put up an antenna on my chimney for a couple of Tivos I used to supplement my 2-tuner 722K. They were useful when I went to cable and then cut the cord. Now, I rarely use them due to most ota programming being awful and boring. The only ota programming I record and watch is Ghosts...

    Google Scores NFL Sunday Ticket Package

    The rule itself is hypocritical since the NFL, as well as other pro leagues have close association with gambling.

    Google Scores NFL Sunday Ticket Package

    Once again the NFL has shown itself to be hypocrites. And don't tell me that players gambling make people question the leagues integrity. Associating your organization with gambling automatically lowers your integrity.
