Yet someone in Congress decided that three carriers was not enough. It seems likely that Echostar is the only player poised to raise that number.

This doesn't jibe with your assertion that DIRECTV streaming subscriptions "are really picking up" due to the Genre Packs. Why do so many of your posts include the phrase "never wrote"?

While the Genre Packs may or may not create a surge in interest (is there evidence to suggest that they are indeed popular?), they're surely harpooning the ARPU statistic. There's more to the bottom line than reducing net customer losses. I think there's a good case to be made that as much as...

It may have been a helpful if they had taken a different approach to NFLST. Assuming they could coat-tail on someone else's deal wasn't well-reasoned. That said, DIRECTV's tardy arrival into streaming didn't make them a particularly good candidate. Trying to shoehorn DIRECTV accounts into the...

AT&T certainly put their stink on DIRECTV if they didn't begin the end. The "market" didn't materially collapse until after AT&T bugged out.

Runnin' With the Devil - Van Halen

If anything, I'd like to see the streaming services of DISH and DIRECTV given their own subforums in an attempt to avoid the confusion that often results from stuffing them in together with their satellite counterparts.

Calling Dr. Love - Kiss

Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler

PIR, Road America and Laguna Seca doesn't feature much banking at all -- some even feature some negative banking. In the grand scheme, speed = predictable downforce = more consistent control. Elevation changes that some of the road courses (especially Laguna Seca) introduce shouldn't be...

How is Indy more demanding than Portland International Raceway, Road America or Laguna Seca (as examples)? Are we talking demanding on the car, demanding on the driver or both?

If you're still using a 15 year old router with its factory software, you've got bigger concerns than this.

The title is misleading as the problem isn't with Python itself but an obscure PyPy package for logging Discord errors.

Small consolation given the nasty hop it took to begin the downward trend.

There are some important obstacles to vehicular AM support as I see it: Interference from various automotive electronic devices (especially high-energy ignition and fuel injection systems) Antenna placement options AM tuners are more costly to implement from an electronics standpoint

It has been my experience that Emergency Alerts (weather, Amber alerts) also come on commercial FM and TV stations (not necessarily the public ones). AM is used for localized rural traffic warnings according to the road signs that I see. Unfortunately, my local AM station (KBZY) goes to...

Around here, much of the talk radio is moving (or has moved) to FM.

False alarm?

Who is lined up waiting the claim the bandwidth?

Please Release Me - Engelbert Humperdinck.

While the equipment may be advanced, Xfinity's software is deplorable. You have to use a phone app to configure what little is available to configure on their routers. For those who run a dozen 4K streaming sessions on their Roku Ultras or ATVs, Xfinity's offering may be just the ticket, but...

Data caps are toxic, and new data caps are surely much more toxic in a marketplace that promises to have alternatives (whether or not those alternatives are all they appear to be). Cable companies have recently begun to bleed broadband customers in significant numbers, and that's not a trend...

Wings of a Dove - Dolly Parton

As a data point (not a "mine is better than yours" jab), I recently upgraded my owned modem and I'm getting nearly 180/85 with Xfinity. At one point, I was seeing 180/180, but that was short-lived. I'm paying $67/month and suffer a 1.2TB cap.

Those terms expired two years ago today (May 18, 2023). They applied to weasel out of the data cap requirement in 2021 but withdrew their application when it appeared that the FCC wasn't amenable.
