    Peacock TV

    I'll be dumping them asap. They've made it too difficult to find the shows we like to watch on a daily basis. Not to mention having a month off between episodes on several shows. Plus cancelling MOM which is considerably improved now that Chritsy is gone.

    MLB 2021 Season

    So where is everyone planning on watching their teams on TV? Here in Arizona and I assume everywhere else, Bally Regional Sports Net (FSNs) has the exclusive rights via Sinclair. And only ATT, $84.99, has signed a contract with Sinclair. No cable companies, no Dish Network, DirecTV, YouTube...

    Disney Plus +

    I'm not sure that it doesn't offer much for adults. The Star Wars movies on Disney and the different offerings from Marvel are adult oriented. Two other things to consider. Quite a bit in 4K and it's only $69 a year. I mean come on. Two people can go out for a nice dinner and easily drop $69 in...

    Cord cutting on the cheap!

    When you say that young adults care nothing about live TV you are not considering live sports. Sports in general rule the TV landscape. There would actually be very little demand for cable type service if it weren't for sports. Especially when looking at the world wide market. Live sports and...

    Disney Plus +

    You most definatly do not just hear from fanboys at AVS Forum. Quite the opposite actually. You will mostly read from owners complaining about their new toy. Especially TV's. Also great information on how to set up your equipment and how to fine tune it.

    Disney Plus +

    One place we sometimes ignore when it comes to gathering information on TV's is good old Google. If you're looking at a specific size range just type in 43 inch TV's, then look at several heading referring to what grabs your attention. You'll probably see reviews from rating.com, CNET, Sound and...

    Disney Plus +

    There are several good sites to read professional reviews of many new TV sets offered. They use sophisticated testing equipment that look at components that deliver PQ. Choose a couple of sets and exact models that look good to you, then price shop among your top choices. Keep in mind that...

    price hike and no relief for a customer fo almost 10 years

    There is a difference between griping and sharing a experience. Posting here may not solve anything for him but it allows others having the same or similar experience to realize that we may all eventually be caught up in a disturbing trend.

    Disney, AT&T in Carriage Dispute Impacting ABC, ESPN

    Let ESPN go dark and see what happens. You want to see a reaction from the subscribers, take away ESPN. Forget the other Disney channels. Losing ESPN for sports bars alone this time of year would be devastating to "D".

    Disney, AT&T in Carriage Dispute Impacting ABC, ESPN

    Once upon a time I would agree with you Tampa8. But today Sports and especially ESPN is so ingrained in our TV culture that I think ESPN holds the cards. Of the millions of "D" subscribers, sports is either the only reason they subscribe to "D" or more than 50% of the reason. Not just for live...

    Disney, AT&T in Carriage Dispute Impacting ABC, ESPN

    Sports programming in general rule the airways. If it wasnt for ESPN and the various other sports channels there would be no cable or satellite TV. The profits are so high that it's really hard to fathom.

    2 years and..........

    They have no reason to compete with their only rival? They absolutely need to compete with Dish. 90% of their advertising over the last 25 years has been against Dish. One commercial after another has them directly comparing themselves against Dish. It's just that DirecTV is gone and ATT is a...

    Technical Nightmare

    I'm not exactly sure what you mean. The freeze lasts for 2 seconds then continues on. Sometimes happens once an hour sometimes only a couple of times a day. But it always happens. Especially annoying during a sporting event. I've hit the back button to see if the freeze is still there but it...

    Technical Nightmare

    The last tech told me that the last thing any tech wants is to have another tech called out for the same problem. Apparently it is a bad thing for them. Three techs in four weeks. Each new one knew this was an ongoing problem and exactly what the previous tech did. I understand that Even though...

    DirecTV Intro price rockets up $25, or 71%

    They probably raised their price so we could watch the PAC-12 NETWORK. Oh wait.

    Technical Nightmare

    In my case they ran a new cable and installed a new splitter. I had a c61k for awhile but the freeze frame problem was not improved. Any insight as to why the freeze frame could not be duplicated by rewinding and playback? It seems like if there was some kind of interruption to the sigal that...

    Technical Nightmare

    Jimbo, I may be wrong but I thought that the hs17 required the c61 to operate at all. I had the problem with old c61 and hs17.

    Technical Nightmare

    Three different techs visited in a 5 week period for this problem. I am experiencing a 2 second freeze frame a dozen or more times a day. When I rewind 10 seconds the freeze frame does not repeat itself. HS17 and C61 connected directly to a 1 year old high end Samsung TV. After replacing every...

    “THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL” GAMES OFFERED IN 4K ON FOX

    It's difficult for many of us to see that big a difference because some 720P and 1080i broadcasts are not created equal. Some shows, even on the same channel, look better than others. Look at a rerun of an older Law and Order. Superb PQ compared to some of what we see now. Different studios use...

    “THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL” GAMES OFFERED IN 4K ON FOX

    Yesterday I had to swap out my (2 week old) replacement c61k for my old c61 (bedroom) because of daily sound stuttering problems. So I guess no more 4K watching for me.

    Upgrade Advice

    I switched from the Hopper to the Genie2 for two main reasons. The first and by far the most important is the superior picture quality with DirecTV. The difference is very noticeable on my 82 inch Samsung. The second reason is the ability to watch 4K. I'm watching the US Open right now. But for...
