Well, IF Verizon is violating the terms of their contract with ESPN, then ESPN is within their rights to sue. I don't agree with the way that Disney forces ESPN on everyone, but Verizon should be held accountable for their contract agreements. I see this as the beginning of the death of ESPN...

I stated before that I am sure some people still like the programming on TWC. Personally, I enjoyed the channel when I could tune in and get weather updates. They had a niche market that tuned in regularly. I am sure they didn't grow rapidly as most programming providers want to do, but they...

By the way, I don't see how there cound any issue discussing .ts files and video info out of the .ts files. I was concerned about the thread getting into a discussion about methods to get the files off of the DVR. I don't know if admins would have an issue with that or not, but I suspect they...

I didn't even consider that he could have been using a faulty program for the data. If I had a .ts file, I would open it in VLC and get the video info from VLC. I probably made a bad assumption that everyone would do it that way.

There are ways to get the data. I haven't done it, but I do know how. It isn't hard if you are a person who builds your own computers, but it could be difficult for someone who doesn't. There are users groups online that discuss it. It does not bypass any DRM, but I don't know if site admin...

It depends on the compression also. When I watch NFL on my local FOX station(at 720), it is so compressed that the turf looks extremely grainy as the camera pans. You can see some motion blur around the players, but it is is the turf that makes it almost unwatchable to me. The local CBS...

The Weather Channel was good 10-15 years ago. Headline News was good 10-15 years ago. TechTV was good 15 years ago. They had niche audiences who actually cared about the programming. Media companies don't care for niche markets, they want to appeal to larger audiences than: People who want...

I don't believe the contracts have expired. This happened because Dish negotiated a fixed rate with one local station, and a per game rate for Fox. The Braves restructured their TV deals and removed all of the games from the local station. There was an article in the Atlanta paper that...

I agree Dish is being cheap. However, sports is a very large portion of the cost of programming for everyone, not just those who watch sports. Live TV is pretty much only needed for sports and awards shows. People who only want to watch reruns can get that elsewhere. I think the constantly...

I am logging off for a while. Those channels are working well on my system, not sure why you are missing that one TP.

Did you try to do a blind scan on Galaxy19?

I was backwards. Yes set it to 10750 and rescan.

My guess is that your LNB is set wrong. You probably have a universal LNB, but have the settings in the receiver set to a stnadard LNB. I'm tired and might be thinking backwards, but I believe that would cause the scan to take 1000 extra off of the actual frequency. Also, with that setting...

Good to see. As dfergie pointed out, the court did not address the impact of the Aereo case. The court said: "As this is a preliminary injunction appeal, we review the district court’s decision for abuse of discretion". The court decided that the lower court had not committed any legal...

That is the reason that I have been responding so much in these threads. Laws should be written so that people can understand what is legal and what is not legal. SCOTUS should interpret what the law actually says. In my opinion, SCOTUS made the law more confusing, and did not clarify...
