    Traditional Providers Losses, 1st Quarter 2024 Edition

    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...

    Traditional Providers Losses, 1st Quarter 2024 Edition

    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...

    Traditional Providers Losses, 1st Quarter 2024 Edition

    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...

    Who can you call if you have problems with the satellite TV system on your boat?

    When we hear from our customers, the most common thing they say, right at the start, is “This thing almost never gives me troubles, but…” It’s true. Satellite TV systems for boats are incredibly reliable. When you consider the combination of sensitive electronics and sea air, add in the huge...

    Traditional Providers Losses, 1st Quarter 2024 Edition

    As I said before, I am in a Rural Area, where they did not have Broadband till 2018 ( moved here in 2020), the only reason why it is available is Charter took the money from Florida and the US Government. I do wonder how many new towers are going up with the grants T-Mobile and the rest of them...

    T-Mobile has expanded out into rural/small town areas a lot the past few years. I think a decent chunk of their fixed wireless subs are rural folks who had no other option (aside from maybe DSL, as you say). Some of those are getting T-Mo's fixed 4G and some are lucky enough to get their fixed 5G.

    Buyout bid for Paramount

    Not a big deal for myself either, as I have explained before, took her a couple of weeks to get used to it. here- YTTV is now the gold standard for Streaming Paid Live TV, lot better then most Traditional Providers also.

    Buyout bid for Paramount

    Yeah, this pretty much jibes with what I'm reading too. I always figured that whoever buys Paramount would keep Nickelodeon, which has a valuable content library (kids love to rewatch shows and it's perpetually "new" content to every kid just turning 3 years-old) as well as IP that can fuel...

    Buyout bid for Paramount

    Yeah, the original guide layout was my only real gripe, but even that wasnt a big deal to me personally. Otherwise, it worked and worked well. Perhaps I am remembering it through rose colored glasses looking back, as I know YTTV has added features that have surpassed the others in many ways.

    Buyout bid for Paramount

    It became better, but before it had a real guide ( remember clicking on the tiles ) it was not that easy for some to use.
