    Apple Event: September 7, 2016

    That's the way I look at it. The phone is competively priced @$869 for the 128Gb iPhone 7+ and the wireless EarPod headset is competitive with other high end headsets. That said, I'm not ordering when they first hit the street because I want to see if any issues of importance show up. Well...

    I don't agree. If I end up getting the new 7+ I'll be getting a set of those wireless earbuds/headsets. As to improvements, well plenty of them and I was not disappointed in any way. Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

    Flex Pack & Channel Packs Coming 8/4

    BS! The base Flex Pack has almost every major cable type channel in it. I think it will become very popular. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Flex Pack & Channel Packs Coming 8/4

    You can pick whichever package you want now. What you want is to be able to define each packages makeup and I doubt that will happen any time soon. And if it did, you really wouldn't like the per channel cost. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Flex Pack & Channel Packs Coming 8/4

    You're assuming facts not in evidence. Do you think they did the Flex Pack all on their own, without some agreement with those content providers for a slim pack? So possibly he pays more per sub to the Flex Packages than he does for the standard packages. Neither you nor I actually know. The...

    Flex Pack & Channel Packs Coming 8/4

    I think you're remembering with rose colored glasses! :) I had c-band back in the day and the packages were cheaper per channel in almost all instances, but they also had the same problem, channels I didn't actually want. Al a carte allowed me to spend less, but each channel wasn't cheaper...

    Not that I've seen. It is all done from menu selection on the Hopper. Sent from my samus using Tapatalk

    52.0 Remote - How to program without Hopper.

    As Mike said, the Hopper is what programs the remote. If you don't have a Hopper you can't program the remote. Or at least I doubt that you can since the older units most likely don't have the proper software to do it. Sent from my samus using Tapatalk

    Flex Pack & Channel Packs Coming 8/4

    Correct. On a per channel basis the Flex Pack will most likely be more expensive. Just as it would be more expensive on a per channel basis if you could sub to individual channels. That's a point that has been made for many years. BUT, the idea is to decide if the channels offered at the...

    Home theater & 4K/UHD frustrations!

    I would agree, but the majority of 4K tv sales are in much lower price ranges for all the usual reasons. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
