    At&t's future plan for Satellite service?

    25mbps is not going to be enough for the average household to go all streaming and still be able to do other internet activities at the same time without noticing any slowdowns most households have at least 2 or 3 tv's on most of the time so at 8mbs for hd that's already 24mbps without...

    At&t's future plan for Satellite service?

    nobody is denying that the future is heading towards tv over IP. just that it will be a lot longer than 5 years until that happens. There is still a large portion of the population even in suburban areas that do not have fast enough/reliable connections to replace their entire cable/sat system...

    At&t's future plan for Satellite service?

    don't take it personal. it's just a portion of the city slickers who live in their own little bubble and think every american has access to the same 100mbps connections they have

    NHL not showing up on Scoreguide

    it showed up the day after I made this post. better late than never I guess loads up almost instantly for me. it's just convenient being able to check the scores of games and being able to quickly flip to the channel of that game rather than trying to surf through the guide trying to find it...

    NHL not showing up on Scoreguide

    anyone else not having the NHL show up on their scoreguides? I use it all the time to easily view the scores of games and flip between them quickly. so i find it somewhat annoying that it's not there anymore

    Price Increase coming in February

    yes they are all asking for more but sports is the biggest culprit imo and the reason why more people haven't ditched their cable/satellite subscriptions. If we can ever manage to get rid of the local market rsn blackout rules (which i think are illegal and wouldn't hold up in court), i think...

    NFL 2015-16 Season

    the refs must really really hate the lions for sucking all these years. they have been screwed over so many times this season. not that I feel sorry for them considering how dysfunctional that franchise is

    Price Increase coming in February

    surely people aren't so naive that they actually thought the costs would go down after the merger price hikes are going to happen every year because the cost of programming has spiraled out of control thanks mostly to all these mega sports contracts. Eventually the current pay tv model is going...

    DIRECTV Announces Third Quarter 2014 Results

    The only thing saving tv providers right now is sports. Plus, there are still going to be those who do not have viable internet options for streaming and satellite is the only option to watch cable tv

    Just a stupid rant about "cord cutters"

    i can see where the op is coming from. The general attitude i've seen among cord cutters (not all, but a good chunk of them) is that they are somehow better than non cord cutters because they are no longer bound by their cable company, when in fact most of them are still using their cable...
