    MAX Changing Names Again...

    Well, I'll see about that. *Google "are ai overview accurate"* AI overview agrees. But wait... if they can introduce errors and misinterpretations... that could mean AI Overviews are always accurate and the above is wrong. :eek:

    Prime Video ads to double

    Yeah, I pay that as well. But I wonder how much of the ad or ad-free payoff revenue is to pay for the NFL rights to one-ish game a week.

    Prime Video ads to double

    How much are these ads to finance the NFL on Prime, that one or so game a week? I'd gladly give up that NFL game for no ads.

    Peacock TV

    Internet will cut out here or there. Quite commonly. But very briefly. Willow (cricket) and Peacock suck at managing that. Most of my other apps do just fine. I think it is the App design, not Peacock's server.

    Peacock TV

    One thing that bugs me, that I thought was my internet's fault, but after streaming a 4K movie, low compression with almost no buffering, Peacock's app blows when it comes to buffering. It can't handle intermittent loss of signal like nearly every other app.

    HBO Max/Discovery+ Merger

    I don't mind, but B/R is still "free" with Max it seems. WEC starting up early this morning in Qatar.

    FOX is going to offer a streaming service

    Yes, the races are all broadcast (hopefully not NASCAR'd too badly) television, so that is good. But I got used to watching practices and qualifying.

    FOX is going to offer a streaming service

    Isn't likely available for a couple seasons. They say end of this year for the service. Personally I'd only want Indycar. So likely with the price it'll cost with all the other Fox stuffs, I'd be better off Flex'ing it for FS1.

    Sling Experience

    Egad! Makes what I pay for Flex feel much more reasonable. Price for the channels is getting up there, while the channel providers are splintering their content to their streaming portal.

    Netflix Price Increase

    For the couple bucks more a month, could they please make finding what content is available... something along the lines of possible?

    Smart TVs are like “a digital Trojan Horse” in people’s homes

    Well, if people demanded it and made it a broad priority a "Digital Bill of Rights" is within the realm of possibility. I think you are nuts thinking you are secure via a VPN. Also, do you have all those Facebook / Google Analytics trackers at most websites turned off?

    OSU Michigan State game 9/28/24 only on Peacock

    They need to pass a law that forces streaming companies to advertise the start of the stream and the start of the event. Such a first world problem, to get set for the stream at 10:30... and the screen reads, 'This broadcast will begin shortly'... like in a half hour!

    OSU Michigan State game 9/28/24 only on Peacock

    It is a mess in that they keep straddling this you must pay us for our station... but we also are going to force you to subscribe to other service as we shift content from broadcast to online. They need some level of "premium" content online to justify the service's existence, but it seems silly...

    HBO Max/Discovery+ Merger

    Forcing people that are getting it "free" to pay a lot more, effectively paying for it twice, is going to piss people off even more.

    HBO Max/Discovery+ Merger

    MLB playoffs will, in part, be on Max according to an email. The email also noted: Select games available on B/R Sports Add-On, on us for a limited time I'll take the free access for this longer "limited" time. I'm just curious when the limited time ends. The trouble they'll have...

    Paramount +

    Am I the only one having issues with P+ regarding the episode descriptions and the spoiler issues? Deep Space Nine S06 - E19 "In the Pail Moonlight" - IT'S A FAKE!!! Okay, it might not be that bad, but the descriptions included with DS9 are dreadfully spoilish. Are other programs that bad...

    Google Scores NFL Sunday Ticket Package

    Man, with my luck I'd sign up to the military for the discount and then President Biden would go on TV that night to announce we are mobilizing to fight a war against Spheron I.

    Bally Sports and MSG RSN Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    Not certain it is fair to say 'just like Dish' as the parallel isn't particularly accurate other than "debt". Dish bought a lot of spectrum on the card. But they also were trying to build out something new, create something. Dish's underlying Sat model is sunsetting due to the market, not...

    Bally Sports and MSG RSN Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    So Diamond overleverages to get the sport networks, can't pay the bills, then they are allowed to shaft debt holders and get to keep the channels, despite the model likely still not working?

    Paramount +

    From my experience in this streaming world, I haven't had an issue cancelling any service. Newspapers on the other hand... oi! Customer Service: I'm sorry, but without a notarized, witnessed, and signed authorization to cancel from one of your state's US Senators, we can't cancel your account.

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    How can Fubo win, but ESPN is allowed to go direct to consumer? The whole point of Venu was to pool enough channels together to give the appearance this was just another streaming service. If courts agree that Venu violates certain privileges, ESPN isn't going to be able to go direct to consumer...

    Paramount +

    I gave in, got a discount on Peacock to shift that money to Paramount+ for the EFL coverage last weekend, thankfully I initially selected monthly. After seeing this deal, I logged into my active Paramount+ account and saw the ability to take advantage of the 50% annual deal. I signed up and...

    Google Scores NFL Sunday Ticket Package

    They figured people spend hundreds on their watch, what is a few hundred markup on the NFL? In general, it is best to sign up directly with the service, not via a device or Apple/Google store. Avoid the Google/Apple tax. My guess is that it was a "mistake" to get a feel for how little...

    Paramount +

    I logged into my account and it provides the options for this deal for both Essential ($30) and with Showtime ($60). Now I'm paying $1 less a month and no ads.

    Peacock rates going up

    I was going to cancel to re-up on an annual plan to save a couple bucks, but then when I went to do that, it offered $1.99 a month (not including Plus) for six months.
