    AT&T Data Breach

    I think you missed the point on this one Bruce. His point is he goes thru all the "safety" procedures and it's all for nought because all they have to do is hack the server and get all the info anyway irregardless of how many authentication processes are in place for the user/customer. In other...

    FOR SALE Complete FTA setup

    Last gasp. I already started moving the metal stuff to the scrap metal pile but figured before I take the sawzall to it I'd make one last offer so here goes, $275 and haul it away. The list is at the top but here are some more pics. The big dish is 100% ready to lift off the pole. Back the truck...

    FOR SALE Complete FTA setup

    Well it happened again. This is the 3rd time in 3 different sale situations on this forum that the buyer has backed out or disappeared and as the saying goes, 3 strikes and you're out. My wife's car is now parked outside because the garage is full of gear in anticipation of a buyer coming this...

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    Pickett blew it. He let his ego get the best of him. The story out of Pitt is he threw a tantrum when told they'd signed Wilson. In Pittsburgh: He's sitting behind a 1 year rental being given an opportunity to learn to become the starter again by next season. In Philadelphia: He's sitting...

    EchoStar Completes Nationwide Drive Test for Boost Wireless Network, Completing All 2023 FCC Commitments

    Seems to me this ought to open the door a bit wider for potential backers. After all the hand-wringing over the past year declaring Charlie would never hit the commitment marks for 2024 and yet here we are. Love him or not the one certainty is,,,, don't count Charlie out.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    OK, I don't get remarks like this. Say what you want about him but he has been, as far as I can see, the only carrier who has busted his you know what to try and bring those sky rocketing costs under control and yet people constantly deride him for it like it was a bad thing. There are disputes...

    Is a cloud DVR better than a regular DVR?

    If you assume the rules are the same then a physical DVR has to be the better option. Why? Because the cloud DVR relies on the Internet, the physical DVR does not. It's that simple. If the Internet goes down I can still watch recorded content. Can't do that with the cloud. I'll give you a great...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    God I hope they can hang on. I don't even want to think about trying to teach Grandma how to access a streaming service. She has trouble just remembering how to get to the guide. I'll end up in the psych ward! :baby

    New Wally update

    Well I've checked out some things since the "update" and it's not good. Everything is slower. Push the Guide button and it's a good 6-9 seconds before anything happens. Scrolling the guide to the right is sometimes a stumbling process. It will scroll 3 or 4 programs then hang a few seconds, then...

    Amazon bricks Fire TV apps

    Not really any different than any other operating system when they update. Windows updates and some apps no longer work. Firefox updates and some add-ons no longer work. Update the forum software and suddenly some add-ons etc don't work. Nothing out of the ordinary.

    Dish Store

    I have several original Sears catalogs including a 1940 and a 1969 but the most fun is I found a beautiful reprint of the 1945 Sears Christmas catalog. It's available on Amazon for $13.76. They also now have a reprint of the 1942 Christmas catalog for $12.59. I'm 83 so between those and my...

    Walmart Seals Deal to Buy VIZIO

    A little late to the party dontcha think? Perhaps they don't understand that advs get inserted into content, not hardware. Owning your own TV mfg doesn't give you anywhere to insert advs. So, no robust in house streaming service (perhaps where they should have focused). WatchFree+ is not what I...

    What’s keeping you guys with Dish Network…

    Convenience. It's all there in one package with numbered channels (the wife doesn't want it any other way). In addition the DVR is local meaning even if the service and Internet are down I can still watch recordings and the time shifting capability is nice. I've tried the other devices, Roku...

    Commercial customers: Don’t stream in public!

    Sorry, that's not even close to true. So what if your ISP knows you access the VPN, Netflix (or whoever) would have to find your VPN first, then backtrack you through the VPN and unless you're using Joe Schmo's garage company as a VPN provider that's not going to happen. I'm not condoning...

    New Wally update

    It seems my Wallys have finally updated for the first time since last May. Version W570 is indicated. I don't notice any significant visual changes. I will spend some time tomorrow putting the tricks thru their paces and see if the skip and jump are finally working correctly. Anybody notice any...

    NFL 2023-2024 Season

    Well yet another coach who outsmarted himself. Roughly 5 min left in regulation, it's 2nd and 5 at KC's 35. You've got this! Or maybe not. Let's see, you have the best running back in the NFL, he's a candidate for league MVP. At q-back you have Mr Irrelevant who has had a good but not...

    Damn NFL!

    and then the coach out-smarted himself - KICK THE BLOOMING FIELD GOAL! This is sudden death, take the bloody points!! :rolleyes:

    Sunday Ticket litigation

    The judge has ruled the plaintiff's have enough evidence to present a case so it's already going somewhere, to court. The next step, I suspect, is we will see just how protective the NFL is going to be of it's books. Depending on how much the NFL fears opening it's books will likely determine...

    Channel Master CM-7779HD PreAmp

    Have you double checked the power inserter connections? Power In/To TV/To Amplifier. Does it make a difference whether the switch is set to Hi or Lo gain? Is the amp indoors or mounted on the antenna outdoors? I have a CM7777 mounted on my antenna for 20 years now without a hitch, they are good...

    Damn NFL!

    Here is an interesting take on NBC's self-adulation over the streaming numbers. Was the NFL's first streaming playoff game a success? We still don't know.

    Getting into HAM in 2024?

    You guys that are having issues on 2M with the Baofengs, have you upgraded the antenna to a Nagoya NA-701? Much improved. I have no trouble hitting a repeater that's several miles away.

    Sunday Ticket litigation

    The judge has ruled and it's going to court, tentatively in February. This is a big blow for the NFL as they will likely be required to, for the first time, open their books, something they have fought against for years. This could get very interesting and you have to wonder, depending on the...
