    Received email from Netflix about household sharing

    Only the subscriber numbers, they will continue to report revenue and operating margins. I am amazed they are still adding so many subscribers, in the last four quarters, they have added a tad over 37 million, Comcast, Charter and DirecTV all together has almost 40 Million, Netflix’s gains...

    THROWBACK THURSDAY: Life in 1984

    Modern color rear-projection television had become commercially available in the 1970s, so a lot bigger. We had about 40, suck then as much as it does today, just because there are 200 channels more today, does not make it better then 1984, specially since the majority of new content is on...

    Dish made the agreement with the FCC with regards to the coverage, take it up with them. But that is the end of my back and forth with you.

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    My last boss there lived in Northville, he had the choice of Comcast and WOW, would switch back and forth every time the contract was up to keep his bill low. I use to dream of having two providers so I could do the same, still wish for it here.

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    You must live in or close to Oakland/Macomb County, WOW always kept saying they would expand more into Wayne County ( my last house there was in Belleville), but it never seemed to happen.

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    The last I knew, based on rumors from the office, working on it. If it will cost extra/add on or launch at the same time as the new service, I have no idea, since I informed them last month I still plan on retiring in May, no new assignments or much of anything from the 🐁 . The last big rumors...

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

    They need more towers for that extra 5% because it is over rural areas, houses/people are not so close together like they are in metro areas. I have pointed out before, I live in a semi-rural area in Florida, I have to go out to the middle of the yard to get a 5G or any other signal (still not...

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    But you are ignoring the fact that streaming prices go up, so will Traditional Paid Live TV Providers, specially as they lose more and more subscribers ( 7 million in 2023), they need to raise revenue to replaced those who have left. So the difference in price between streaming and...

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    Because those are on the new sports service. And what is the big deal about them, the channels are nothing but reruns and sports, Warner announced they would no longer produce new content for the channels. They join so many other cable channels that are just there for per sub fees and...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    The strike really messed it up. Since it takes a year of post production for an episode, hopefully early 2025.
