    Dish/Sling and INSP

    I was wondering how long Dish Network has carried the standard definition feed of INSP? I noticed on INSP's website, for Dish Network, INSP advises viewers of platforms to contact provider when not available and for Dish, there is a link to send a request form for Dish to carry the HD signal...

    fuboTV will add ESPN/ABC/Disney

    One hole in Hulu Live is that it doesn't carry NBA TV. I figured that once Disney got full control of Hulu, we'd see additions such as that channel (especially with Disney in general being a premium service - why skimp out on channels), but such hasn't happened. Has Hulu Live gone stagnant...

    Peacock TV

    King of Queens series streaming is something I might check out Peacock for later this summer. So far, I don't think Hulu, Netflix, CBS AA or Amazon Prime has ever had the full series available to viewers (excluding pay per episode if Amazon or Apple had it). I purchased the DVD set, and when...

    fuboTV will add ESPN/ABC/Disney

    Thanks, but with the Warner and Fox Sports regional sports network deletions in mind, what does fubo really offer that YTTV and Hulu Live lack, to make up for coming to about the same price? Is it more soccer or 4k picture/5.1 audio? I know it has Hallmark and History, but would be surprised if...

    fuboTV will add ESPN/ABC/Disney

    Fubo's CEO views YTTV and Hulu Live as it's most direct competitors. But I see them as more complete packages: YouTube TV - most mainstream. Has big 4 broadcast networks plus PBS, plus most cable channels with HBO, Cinemax, Starz and Showtime and Epix as add-ons. Many other add ons available...

    fuboTV will add ESPN/ABC/Disney

    https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/fubotv-will-add-espn-channels-this-summer-in-new-distribution-agreement-with-disney/ It does mention that a price increase will occur. I just hope that it doesn't go to $80/monthly, but realistically, it might be. This will make fubo though more full service...

    Amazon looking to add Live TV

    I have an Amazon Firetv Recast DVR, and have added Philo. While there is some integration with the EPG with both local channels and Philo combined in one lineup, it's a bit slow opening up the Philo app that way. In the end, it's better to just use the Philo app. I also think Amazon should group...

    Philo adds Starz and Epix

    https://cordcuttingreport.com/2020/06/09/philo-adds-epix-starz/ As a Philo subscriber, I also didn't get an email from them announcing the premium additions. Considering its pricing is promotional now, but will be more or less full price in three months, I'd expect them to carry the four Epix...

    Who here has an OTA antenna but is not a cord cutter?

    I have a FIOS triple play (internet, tv, phone). If I try to cancel the TV part, I would end up paying more as it would break the discounted bundle. The TV part is Custom Action & Entertainment. It's actually a good selection of channels while being a low economy tier without regional sports...

    Frndly Tv

    FrndlyTV added INSP a couple of months ago. That channel airs a lot of classic westerns programming such as Bonanza lost episodes. I signed up for a month, as I was keen on receiving this channel. FuboTV has it but requires an over $60/month combination. The channel is also available on Dish...

    Franklin County, PA

    Could Dish subs there actually purchase 2 local markets? Or was the price inclusive of 2 markets? If its a 1 for 1 swap, I doubt existing local subs lost channels. Or all of a sudden one morning woke up to a new set of locals from a different market. :) I know someone in Princeton with NY...

    FCC Seeking to Close Programming Access Loophole

    CSN Philly is available in HD. The old CN8 was restructured to TCN and it now reports to CSN Philly. It had an HD feed but its no longer having one. Perhaps its seasonal. From old posts on CSN Philly and TCN: Any pssiblity of The Comcast Network for Philly? - dslreports.com Comcast Network...

    FCC Seeking to Close Programming Access Loophole

    But the Flyers are big in Philly. In general for the last 5-10 years, the attendance of a Flyers game would exceed that of a Sixers game, and I think ratings were respectable as well. Higher popularity of Flyers to Sixers. I compare the two as the two play around the same season, with similar...

    FCC Seeking to Close Programming Access Loophole

    I hope that party is over. I hope they don't dilute CSN by offering it sat companies but then making CN8 / TCN-The Comcast Network, another sports network, by moving games there. Right now TCN is all paid programming, 1/2 hr. of a taped show of "It's Your Call with Lynn Doyle" and then...

    FiOS and Tivo???

    The 2 channels that I'm having problems with are 1753 and 1754, which are Zee and Sony Ent. and its only with the Tivo box. Not having problems with my Verizon Motorola digital box (not a DVR), even when I switch the Verizon box upstairs where the Tivo is usually connected. However, those...

    FiOS and Tivo???

    I have the v11.0d software and have pixelation problems on 2 international channels in the 17xx range. The problem just started, more than 6 months after owning the TiVo with Verizon service. So, I tried going through Verizon to fix the problem. Waste of time. I'll be using an...

    NICK GAS TO LEAVE DISH / Cartoon Network West To Move

    A lot of the Comcast systems that carry WGN were inherited systems. Many Comcast systems around Comcast's HQ in Philadelphia don't carry it at all, even as Comcast added channels like Oxygen to digital tiers to compete with DirecTV and Verizon. Comcast still views WGN as similar to what...

    DishFamily - a weird selection or what!

    WGN is cheap but the parent owner Tribune isn't aggressive in requiring Dish or DirecTV to keep it in any of the most viewed/low-end packages. Compare that, to Viacom/TV Land, where Viacom insists that their channels well, a certain number of them, reach the most HH, whether it be basic...

    922 + Verizon = Churn?

    Good list. If one has had an existing Tivo, one can get lifetime for $299 as part of a MSD discount. Itd be nice if TiVoHD had a better 16:9 EPG, updated UI. While familiarity is a nice thing and the UI of TiVo is decent, I don't get how TiVo introduced TiVoHD with the same UI as the Series I...

    Public Interest Channels Only?

    They show "Cheers" reruns at midnight; "Frasier"at 10-11. Other than that, its not worth much, but its an alternative to CW and MyNetwork if you already receive those with locals. I tend to keep "King of the Hill" on Cartoon Network on at 10-11, if nothing else is on, so in my case, usually...

    TV One where are you?

    It doesn't have that much original programming. Looks like mostly reruns, including most of their evening lineup. Even some of their reruns like "The Jeffersons", it comes on TV Land and WPIX. They do carry "Sanford & Son". It looks like most of their classic TV stock could go to WGN, and...

    Dish sheds 102,000 subs and reports a Profit

    Maybe Dish could just buy TiVo? The benefit could be for the name/goodwill, IP property, ending a lawsuit, marketing and competitive advantage (to DirecTV). TiVo has name and supporter loyalty and recognition. And while Dish's DVRs may be better, the average customer tends to first look...

    Tivo comparison to Dish 722 is inaccurate

    I don't know but I think OTA only population (that has money to spend too) might exist for city dwellers, esp. those who spend a lot on rent/housing and then look for ways to save. Also, cable tends to be pricier in the cities, and satellite might not be an option. Though I know ppl who...

    Tivo comparison to Dish 722 is inaccurate

    your point is valid On the point of using the 722 for OTA (and what I meant as a means of OTA without necessarily tied back to Dish programming because then the Dish service stipulation trumps), I called Dish sales and inquired about purchasing the 722 as a nonexisting programming services...

    Tivo comparison to Dish 722 is inaccurate

    It's an MCard (1 card) that you get from your cable company. If your cable company doesn't offer those, as seen with Verizon Fios in some areas, then you get 2 cards. Also, with digital OTA, which you started discussing as your intent, TiVo doesn't require cards. TiVo is a product solution for...
