    Google Scores NFL Sunday Ticket Package

    In the same boat, no YTTV right now, just do not need it since everything I watch ( and way too much more) is available on the streaming services. Just need it for Football Season, but hopefully we will have a choice for services. The plan for the new sports service is start service the end of...

    Streaming Is The New Cable

    Finally took the time to do an internet search on the topic and found this: https://www.businessinsider.com/heres-how-the-tv-business-actually-works-and-why-its-going-to-take-longer-than-you-think-to-disrupt-it-2010-4?op=1 Specifically: For the longest time, the major networks were not part...

    Traditional Providers Losses, 1st Quarter 2024 Edition

    It is at least worth calling them up to ask. My parents were getting only 100Mb on their Spectrum connection, despite paying for 300. After they complained, Spectrum sent out a tech with a new box, and things got a whole lot better. Part of that was the upgrade from N wireless to AC for...

    Yeah, passing on any discounts and just keeping YTTV off until the fall. Will come out ahead just turning it all off/on every 6 months, reassessing the best option for local/ESPN access each cycle.

    Streaming Is The New Cable

    One day, but just like if I still had a DVR, it would be weeks or even months before I get to it. I can tell the difference, my Sony Z9K up-converts everything to 8K, so I rather feed it the best signal possible, 4K Blu-rays look amazing on it. My tablo is in a closet right now, never use it...

    Does it make sense to schedule a service call?

    Streaming Is The New Cable

    You are just using the programs that are already recorded by Paramount on their app but you have a days worth of delay for the better p/q . I like watching when it is live or slightly delayed at home. I can't really see much difference between 4k and HD anyway. Just like I don't see any...

    My modem is the one that Spectrum sent to us in the mail. I am going to call and ask them about whether the modem makes any difference with the speeds. We also use their wi-fi tower. I can always downgrade to the lower speed and price since I am not getting the full 500 anyway.

    THROWBACK THURSDAY: When Atari didn’t go away

    Back in 2013, I wrote a story about Atari filing for bankruptcy. It wasn’t really the “original” Atari. That company dissolved back in the 1980s, and was bought by a series of holding companies. But the intellectual property rights kept following and eventually Atari, the bankrupt one, was a...

    Yep, thats me........Our cable internet is a joke, and dealing with them like a root canal! Now my T-Mobile sure isnt worth $50 because of the never knowing what speed you will get. But its the only thing that has worked semi decent.

    Buyout bid for Paramount

    ...hit the market (to the dismay of certain MVPDs like Fubo, DirecTV, etc.) And fall '25 will see the advent of standalone ESPN as a DTC app. ESPN is *the* original killer app of the basic cable bundle. Once that thing goes DTC, it's every man for himself. But, as I keep saying, if these...

    ...so they're monetizing it via fixed 5G. At some point they'll have to stop taking new subs (or build out more capacity) because they don't have *endless* excess capacity. I noticed that just this month they announced that fixed 5G users may see their speeds throttled (de-prioritized) if they...

    Just read Comcast is about to do their second price increase of the year ( which has always been fees going up), first in SF, then of course it will be rolled out everywhere else ( all at different amounts)- On April 1, 2024, Comcast released a new rate card and Cord Cutters News received a...
