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...

I would love to sit down with the MLB commish and have him explain how the latest Dodger shenanigans are good for baseball. These kinds of business manipulations are only allowed in baseball. What a great scheme; I buy a team, I sign a number of big dollar players but defer payment, I win a WS...

Let's see if we all understand this now - as an NFL team you hire a head of security to provide, well, security. So there he is, on duty, an opposing player comes to his sideline and starts fighting with personnel and he does his job, provide security for his employer. Here's where it starts to...

Amazon has the Express 4K+, Streaming Stick 4K, and Ultra listed on their Black Friday sales promos. Roku Express Streaming Stick Ultra

Aside from the pending litigation, is Sunday Ticket in deeper trouble? When Sunday Ticket was acquired by YTTV it was estimated they needed approx 4.5 million new subs to break even. Current estimates for this season thus far is a measly 1.5 million subs. Morgan Stanley estimates YTTV will lose...

I scrolled through the listings on Nat Geo for the next few days and this is what's scheduled (see below). What does any of this have to do with National Geographics? This is junk on the level of Discovery Channel, not worthy to be associated with the once respected name of National Geographics...

Game 1 of this years World Series was the least watched game 1 in World Series TV history. Looks like this is the "who cares" World Series. Outside of Texas and Arizona there seems to be very little interest. Sad, really, but that's what this playoff format has the potential to lead to. When you...

and it wasn't good. Having finally scanned in the Philadelphia ATSC 3.0 stations I decided I'd give it a try so I turned to ch 29.1 to watch the Eagles game. The TV in question is a Sony Bravia with a built-in ATSC 3.0 tuner. I only gave it about 6 or 7 minutes and threw in the towel. The...

Disney and Charter's Spectrum cable TV service are in a blackout and it seems the intent to spin ESPN into a streaming service may be playing a big part considering Disney still wants to bundle all their channels, including ESPN, together in their cable carriage agreements. This one could get...

The NFL has issued a new team ownership, or equity, rule basically stating that no non-family member employee may have equity in a team. Kinda puts the whole Tom Brady/Raiders deal in limbo. But, the question I have is how does the NFL plan to rationalize that rule with the Packers public...

I'm getting long in the tooth so time to thin the herd in all areas. I've already gotten out of the antique car hobby, I'm selling three of my tractors, and I've decided to shut down my satellite FTA equipment. All in working condition. KTI 7.5' mesh dish (Excellent C-band and Ku) C1W-PLL LNBF...

If you take a look at the image you will see that the top most channel lists as 44-01, WMCN and displays a PBS listing. However it is actually ShopHQ, a shopping channel. This particular problem was initiated by the ever helpful (?) FCC. WMCN was broadcast out of Atlantic City NJ but with the...

If I go to "On Demand" and find a show I'd like to watch it says "Free with On Demand" but when I click on it I get a link named "How to subscribe" and it then gives me a QR code to subscribe. If it's free what am I subbing to and why?

Now here's some interesting reading. If the NFL did, in fact, not give the Sunday Ticket to Apple because Apple was planning on lowering the price this could get really nasty for the NFL and their antitrust exemption could actually be at risk. Ongoing Sunday Ticket antitrust litigation could...

So far through Spring training and the early days of the regular season MLB is bragging that games are on avg about 30 minutes quicker. Sounds good right? Well, maybe, but maybe not. It apparently is slowly dawning on some people that maybe that isn't all it's cracked up to be. Who might those...

Here's an interesting tidbit about possible free MLB game streaming. Not to be missed is the blurb about Diamond apparently preparing to file for bankruptcy on March 17th. So after all the speculation it seems we finally have a definitive date. MLB to stream games for free amid looming Diamond...

This is an interesting read. No definitive smoking gun but some concerning forensics. 6 former Phillies have died of brain cancer. New report reveals a concerning link

I never had occasion to attempt to record anything from one of Dish's streams so this is new to me. I tried to record the new waterfall Dishscape and a message popped up denying it. Is this normal? Are no streams recordable or just this one or is it just a fluke? If it matters the receiver is a...

I guess Charlie isn't doing as bad as some folks like to believe. After Dish Network Beats Q4 Earnings Estimate, Chairman Charlie Ergen Pronounces Last Rites For Rising Carriage Fees: “The Next Step In Retrans Is Down, Not Up” For you RSN complainers:

Looks like MLB finally figured out the RSN's are in trouble and Sinclair in particular. Better late than never I guess. Article dated 6 hrs ago. AP source: MLB forms economic group as regional TV in peril

I did a search and the most recent posting I found about cloning a Dish EHD is a few years old so I'm not sure it still applies. Is it possible to clone an external harddrive from a Wally and not lose the recordings? If so, what's the procedure? Best software to use? I'm looking to go from...

MLB hired a Sinclair exec, you know, the guys responsible for messing up the RSN's, to help MLB with their concerns over the, ready for this, RSN problem! :wtf2 The link appears odd but it does work. Chicago Tribune - We are currently unavailable in your region

I received an email from my ISP today and got a nice early Christmas present. As of today my download speed has been bumped from 200 to 300 mbps and all data limits have been removed, all with no change in cost. In fact if I go to Autopay and paperless billing the bill goes down $5 a month. This...

What's up with the forced guide updates today? About 4 o'clock this afternoon my Wally shut off and started to update the guide (it's set to do that at 2am) during a ballgame. The wife's Wally just now (8:30pm) shut down and started updating the guide. Her Wally is also set to do that at 2am...

Huge power surge took out one of my Wallys on Tuesday. I called Dish and when she heard what happened she said she'd send a replacement out right away. Then said hang on, give me a minute. When she came back she said there was a Dish tech not far from me and instead of sending a new box that...
