What's stopping Charter and Comcast and any other big cable TV operator from just creating a Roku app to expand their TV subscription footprint beyond their physical cable footprint? Not saying I would subscribe to it, but neither Charter or Comcast is available where I live. But I have high...

I guess this is a compliment on my writing skills?

You have to remember that streaming didn't exist in the 1990s or really even in the 2000s. Broadband Internet was not as prevalent. Most households accessed the Internet with dialup modems lucky to get 53kbps. Back then cable/satellite TV was necessary to fill out TV during the day, probably...

That's kind of what I thought. Thanks for explaining.

Does Youtube TV include ESPN3? I'm finding where other websites say that it does, but can't find anything on their website that says it's included. I guess maybe you have to authenticate through the ESPN app? And does Youtube TV include SEC+? It includes SEC Network. I assumed any provider...

I know NBC is pushing their Peacock service a lot these days. My first question, will NBC continue to allow next-day streaming of their shows on the authenticated NBC app? Or is all of that moving to Peacock? Secondly, I know NBC is pulling a lot of their material off of Hulu to prop up their...

I think it's probably the Paramount+ app. Or at least the Paramount+ app being built on expecting newer hardware to be used. I have the same issue with Paramount+ on my Roku 3. Very, very, very slow to start a show. Often times so slow that the initial ad that runs before the show starts (I...

Any news on when/if Bally sports is still going to launch their OTT streaming service? Last I heard, I thought it was to be ready for the start of the 2022 MLB season. But I'm not aware of anything, and haven't really heard anything about any launch. I know there was some discussion on just...

I've been using Sling TV for almost two years now. I don't have any complaints about it. During the pandemic I found myself watching more streaming on demand shows and that I didn't really watch a lot of "live" TV. Still, I like college basketball and wanted a way to get ESPN and Sling TV was...

I tried running a connection check and then trying the live Paramount+ feed, the problem persisted. The Internet connection came back as 65Mbps - so I don't think that's the issue. As long as I use a 720 resolution on my Roku the issue is not present. It's only if I set my Roku resolution to...

Anybody with Paramount+ seeing their local live TV feed getting the audio and video out of sync on their Roku? Problem takes a few seconds to show itself, probably less than 30 seconds, but within 30 seconds I'll see the video start to lag out but the audio is fine and then the video starts to...

Speaking of other cable carries... what's stopping cable companies like Comcast, Charter, Cox, etc from distributing their own OTT live TV option? Kind of like what AT&T (apparently?) has done with it's U-Verse TV and whatever they're calling their streaming AT&T option now. Whereas before -...

Replying because giving this post just a thumbs up doesn't do it enough justice. I agree with everything written in this post. MLB is so worried about it's decline in viewership and people that care about baseball... they need to take a look in the mirror and see how much this "local team...

Unless you happen to be lucky enough to have at least two teams in your "market" and DirecTV only gives you one of those teams unless you buy the absurd Sports Pack for $13/mo just for the privilege to watch the team that is in your "market" MLB really should clamp down on this market territory...

I would assume. But MLB likes to use fuzzy logic in determining what areas are in whose team's market... so who knows what this really means.

Right. I'm not in the Yankees' market. Nor do I really care about the Yankees. But there are a few "local" teams on Fox Sports regional Networks. I'd love to see Sinclair offer something like a: Enter your zip code (to see how many "in-market" teams you are suppose to get), then charge a...

But you can get HBO without Amazon Prime. So the question still is... why can't they offer this as stand alone? If all I was interested in was watching the Yankees, why should I be forced to pay for Amazon Prime too? I just don't see how that is all that different from forcing you to have a...

But isn't that how they all start? What is Amazon Prime now? $120 a year? What if having to carry YES increases that to $130 a year? Some subscribers balk, the number of Amazon Prime subscribers drops, and as a result the price for Amazon Prime has to increase to $150 a year. Or is this...

But if you have to subscribe to Amazon Prime in order to get this, isn't this just trading one boss for a new boss? Now you have to have DirecTV (or insert cable company name) in order to get the games. But in the future... you can do the same thing if you have Amazon Prime. Now if they make...
