    Sony Is Ceding Control of TV Hardware Business To China's TCL

    I'm going to have to agree with Lon and Tyler: ATSC 3.0, on its current trajectory with $60 TV adapters, is going to be a non-starter. The Zapperbox architecture strongly resembles an effort to resurrect the TiVo proprietary client-server model.

    Sony Is Ceding Control of TV Hardware Business To China's TCL

    Consider what TCL brought to CES and compare that with what Sony announced (they promised future media briefings).

    Paper submission will probably always be an option. IIRC, it is the free federal self-e-filing that is under pressure to be eliminated. In any case, the PDF forms for online filing aren't yet available (assuming they become available to individual taxpayers).

    FanDuel Sports Networks could possibly shutter soon

    Even then, the bottom line may be cheaper -- especially if you're paying upwards of $150/month for an MVPD.
