    Are CBS, NBC, and ABC in decline?

    I believe it , a lot of network shows i liked ended, shows like superstore, and cbs moved two shows i like to streaming only. I’m watching more PBS than i used to so it’s not all bad.

    Public Interest Channels

    I noticed on a vehicle that included 3 years of xm traffic that it also got a handful of audio channels like NPR and Doctor radio. I was wondering if these were available because of the public interest channel requirements of the sirrius xm merger. I observed that once the traffic subscription...

    Poor mobile experience

    The mobile experience is terrible on this site. The changing ads cause the page to resize moving text while reading. The worst thing though is some ad is able to hijack my browser and redirect to some gift card prize scam. The icing on the cake is this site is deleted from the history so you...

    Large number of Blu-ray failures?

    The older the disc is the less likely it will play error free. TV show blurays are the least likely to play without hiccups.

    What is the better choice for streaming: Netflix or Amazon?

    I disliked having amazon show me episodes for sale when I run a search on the PS3. On the xbox it only shows the content included in the prime membership. If you purchase frequently from Amazon prime is a pretty good deal, they have several warehouses in my town and I frequently get my two day...

    Crummy Amazon rental experience

    Welcome Pack

    Thanks for the info guys. Looks like its about $9 more a month than I used to pay. The package is of no value to me without HD. Is there any chance there is an international package for less than $15? I thought you used to be able to add premiums to those. Thanks again for the info.

    Another rant- I hate Blackberry!

    If you don't want to give control over your blackberry to the IT department don't connect it to their BES (blackberry enterprise server). Being connected to a BES also allows them to read any text messaging and read phone logs. If you were getting the corporate email via IMAP they would not be...
