    Dish Price Increase Coming - 11/16/2021

    How local TV stations plan to remain relevant as viewers shift to streaming

    History Channel relies at lot on reruns of its own material, for example. Scripps just bought a LOT of it for OTA broadcast over their new DefyTV diginet. With MeTV, Buzzr, H&I, etc, etc...a good chunk of cable and satellite’s filler programs are now OTA. That is hitting their bottom line hard...

    Attic Antenna Recommendation

    Yes. The small rectangular element near the back reflectors is the high vhf element. It will receive high VHF but the station has to be close and powerful from my experience. I have a high VHF on RF7 in Detroit that I use an old special high VHF antenna to receive and run it thru a combiner...

    How local TV stations plan to remain relevant as viewers shift to streaming

    Scripps is going to make a big dent in cable and satellite with their new diginets like Doozy and Defy TV and bringing Newsy to OTA. I think their gamble is going to pay off. I already get about 35 usable channels OTA already from the Detroit and Toledo DMA’s. I now get internet only from...

    Dish has to change. Start by telling programmers the truth. You are losing subscrivers in droves because of high priced channel bundling. EW Scripps is taking direct aim at you with their OTA push.

    OAN Plus and Newsy to launch as subchannels

    Newsy will go the furthest and fastest with the extensive OTA reach of Scripps. Scripps is going all in on OTA for cord cutters. Smart move, IMO.

    Ion Plus and Qubo to shut down

    Just curious...what channels would a deactivated VIP211k be able to view?

    It’s almost as if they turned pause into a package, crodrules. You have to be on the $5 a month pause to get it.
