    Cable And Satellite Providers Required To Disclose “All In” Pricing Under Newly Passed FCC Rules

    If people think that the parking fee makes moral or logical sense, then that's the problem right there! (If you're worried about non-patrons using the parking spots, make them show a ticket to get into the lot. It's not rocket science. But then again, apparently rocket science isn't even...

    Cable And Satellite Providers Required To Disclose “All In” Pricing Under Newly Passed FCC Rules

    You were supposed to be able to do it, by federal law. But I don't think there were a lot of options for receivers ever made, and I don't know if any cable company was ever penalized for not complying. But at least they tried. I don't know if the law is still in effect (I have a feeling that...

    Cable And Satellite Providers Required To Disclose “All In” Pricing Under Newly Passed FCC Rules

    I said a long time ago that they should've been held to the same standard as cable: you could buy your own receiver and get a card from the programing provider.

    anybody else having audio dropouts on AXS TV?

    Mark just sold his basketball team, so hopefully he has the time and money to take care of his TV channel if that's really where the problem is coming from.

    anybody else having audio dropouts on AXS TV?

    I emailed the old address that used to get stuff like this fixed, even though people have said it doesn't work anymore. It didn't bounce, but nobody answered it either.

    Edision OS Mio 4K firmware/OS

    I use timers very rarely, but I've never had a problem with them. I did do a clean install of version 5, versus importing my settings from the old version. I seem to remember all sorts of problems doing that in the past. And it lets me get a fresh scan of all my satellites anyway.

    Republic Wireless shutting down as Dish moves customers over to Boost Infinite

    The bring-your-own-phone pages say that hotspot is available as an add-on. They don't say how much it costs.

    anybody else having audio dropouts on AXS TV?

    It's been happening for a few weeks, and seems to be getting worse. I know my dish alignment isn't fantastic, but there are no breakups on any other channels, and more to the point, there's no break whatsoever in the video, just the audio.

    H365 has arrived

    I have something very similar to this on my Hopper 2 on H264: does HWS H264 have a bug with watching a recording in progress? I think it's updated to H265 since then, but I haven't been brave enough to test it. And tonight I had an absolutely ridiculous glitch. I started watching Andrew...

    Multiple LNBs

    You're not going to be happy when 103 shuts down. I don't know when that's supposed to be, but I imagine it's not too far off since most of what's on it is duplicated on 101.

    H264 in Hopper/Sling erases settings

    No such issues here, just the watching-a-recording-in-progress issue I posted about.

    how much would it cost to get this disgusting pole mount fixed?

    If I'm not mistaken, there's no flex pack that has MTV Classic, which is the only MTV channel we watch. The package lineups would seem to be deliberately designed to be useless if one wants anything other than the most insipid basic channels.

    how much would it cost to get this disgusting pole mount fixed?

    I don't have the protection plan, as I'm giving Dish way too much money as it is for what little I use these days. (Of course, their plans are arranged such that we need the Top 250 or whatever they call it now to get the channels we *do* watch.) I could install a dish myself, including aiming...

    how much would it cost to get this disgusting pole mount fixed?

    A local retailer put this dish in, I think about 10 years ago. I don't remember how long the pole was, but as you can see there's 4 feet above ground, so I'm sure there's no more than 2 feet underground, if it's even a 6-foot pole and not 5 feet. More to the point, the ground was very rocky...
