    DirecTV and AT&T Internet combined bill - unlimited Internet?

    AT&T Fiber now has no caps regardless of bundling with any other services. This does not necessarily apply to DSL-based services which may still have caps

    Hopper Plus new hardware??

    There is precedent for how a merger of Dish and DirecTV would work. Two different ways, actually. DirecTV bought Primestar in 1999 and eventually moved every subscriber (who didn't get poached by Dish) over to DirecTV. I don't think that would be a bad idea, especially if they have an army of...

    OWN West SD 279-1

    U-Verse has a lot of west coast feeds and has for a long time. I suspect DirecTV adding them is a consequence of that

    A lot of us are still wondering why you think this behavior is caused by excessive fragmentation on the hard disk

    defrag DISH EHD

    Why do you think defragmenting the drive will help with that?

    Meredith announced they put TV Stations for sale

    Turner (part of Warner) and TWC were both based in Atlanta, which probably helps fuel the confusion

    ATSC 3.0 Coming to Hartford in October

    4K is what they'll advertise to consumers to get them to buy new TVs, but the quality of that 4K video will be garbage. They will cram as many subchannels, or, paid content, into their allocations that there will be no bandwidth for a quality 4K HDR signal The actual reason they want people to...

    ATSC 3.0 Coming to Hartford in October

    Not sure if you're ignoring my point about the TV makers not ringing the bell marketing wise until ATSC 3.0 actually delivers something interesting on purpose or not. Eventually when you can do "cool new stuff" with ATSC then the TV makers will have an excuse to push it. Before that, they risk...

    NBCSN Shutdown

    I suspect if they had any immediate plans to do that, they'd have done it at the same time as NBCSN. Obvious candidates are Oxygen and Bravo, but reality TV seems to be what is keeping non-sports cable alive so they are staying put for now

    Streaming Radio

    There's a lot of content on SiriusXM that is exclusive to the service, and if you have a subscription for a car it almost definitely has free streaming included. A lot of people say the same thing about television content, to each their own, I prefer SiriusXM to anything "free" which usually has ads

    Hopper Apps Wish List

    Funny that you guys think customer input matters. The only thing that matters here are the providers paying Dish for placement

    Comcast Rates going UP

    So I don't have any linear TV services anymore, so I had no idea what my local fees were. Comcast in metro Atlanta is charging a whopping $23.45 broadcast TV fee and $12.55 for an RSN fee. Charter in metro Atlanta is charging $17.99 for a broadcast TV fee, and does not list an RSN fee on their...

    Streaming Radio

    Not completely true. SiriusXM does have models that are internet-only. This is the most current model, although it is out of stock at SiriusXM, it may be available from other retailers: Shop SiriusXM - Save more with exclusive offers on radios for your home and car.

    ATSC 3.0 Coming to Hartford in October

    TV makers will want to get on board because it's an excuse to sell someone a new TV even if they don't need it. You need the stations up and running, possibly with higher quality content, though. They don't want to get bitten like they did with 3D so they'll want demonstrable content on the...

    Meredith announced they put TV Stations for sale

    Well, this year is the first year that Meredith made more money on "digital" vs. traditional publishing (meaning their magazines' websites made more money than sales of the magazines) so it's not like the other side of their business was 100% old school magazines. Those brands all have big...

    Comcast Rates going UP

    I remember in the early 90s when my family moved into town and we finally got cable it was $30 a month for everything except premium channels. That broadcast channel fee plus the RSN fee is $30

    Bally’s Sports

    I'm not sure where you came up with this cockamamie ATSC 3.0 scheme but that is nowhere in the conversation with the RSNs. The number of subscribers that would be willing to jump through all those hoops is tiny, not to mention how long away we are from ATSC 3.0 being widespread in any form. Also...

    AT&T completes DIRECTV spinoff.

    U-verse had just a few million subscribers. The initial thesis was that combining U-Verse and DirecTV would get them even better synergies with programmers. This was before cord cutting really took off, AT&T got DirecTV at the very top of their peak, and the execs at AT&T were and are...

    ballysports with Dish

    To watch Bally's Sports on a Roku, you need a login from a pay TV provider. Your internet provider is irrelevant, so it doesn't matter if you use AT&T or Comcast or Charter or anyone else for internet access. What matters is who your TV provider is. First, you have to have a TV provider like...

    Why doesn’t a DTV subscription give you access to directv stream?

    Both Comcast and Charter. The two largest cable companies in the country accounting for a majority of cable subscribers in the US

    Why doesn’t a DTV subscription give you access to directv stream?

    But I can already do that with a DirecTV login and Channels DVR which will aggregate TV Everywhere authenticated streams into an on screen guide and DVR. And I could do that with an actual DirecTV Stream account

    Why doesn’t a DTV subscription give you access to directv stream?

    This is actually the biggest head scratcher of AT&T's video strategy. With DISH and Sling it makes sense because they are targeting different markets and different contractual obligations around the channels they carry. But with AT&T, they actively wanted to consider U-Verse, DirecTV, and Stream...
