I think a lot of bars here have already installed antennas or switched to Spectrum during the Nexstar dispute. Can't be without those WIVB/CBS games. Push comes to shove, buying a couple antennas or rokus (yeah they're not supposed to just show consumer Peacock, but do you honestly think the...

How did that work out for Broadband Reports? Everyone still called it DSLReports even though most people do not use DSL anymore. Hence they abandoned that idea. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I'll admit I'm shocked and I guess I was wrong. I wonder if DirecTV feels emboldened by the Spectrum/Disney dispute and dug their heels in further.

I'd be happy to pay them in full for a 2-year agreement if they gave me a significant discount for doing so. That would give them a nice influx of cash. ;) Beyond that, I think people are sometimes overlooking one of the biggest advantages in a DirecTV/Dish merger. Sure, years down the road you...

This is the sad reality of the damage these cyber attacks can do. People don't like to change things until they're forced to. OP had the perfect opportunity to try something else and was happy with the outcome. Dish lost a customer due to their inability to recover quickly or have a good backup...

If half your staff consisted of managers, layoffs are probably sensible.

That's surprising for sure. Charter loves to promote SN1 as "exclusively for Spectrum customers." I wonder if this is just super short term. Edit: Did some quick Googling and it's totally legit. I wonder who's paying who here...

Northland seems to be the biggest operator with any significant analog systems left. Here's a recent clip someone uploaded to YouTube. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLr2mk2ffII As for where I am in upstate NY, Spectrum has had us all-digital since Spring of 2018. Gotta pay 8.99 per...

Here's hoping for a relaunch!

That's fair. I didn't pose the question looking for a quantitative answer. I can only speak for myself and say I liked what Orby was doing, liked their pricing and business model. I get bulk cable for free so I wouldn't subscribe at my current home but I'm looking to move soon. I probably would...

Yes, but how many potential subscribers did they never gain due to the lack of Fox News?

I think the lack of Fox News was a big factor. That's a must have for a lot of people, more so those who may live in rural areas and not have the best access to broadband ie Orby's target customer.

MSG to allow Channel 2 to air Sabres game - Sabres & NHL - The Buffalo News Looks like one game will be on WGRZ this week, for whatever that's worth. Expect to be bombarded with "Switch to DirecTV" ads. :/

I'm in suburban Buffalo and I was getting analog 5, 9, 11, 41, and 47 from Toronto. All I'm using is a 30+ year old set of rabbit ears on a second floor cathedral ceiling beam. They were all really snowy. The VHF stations always came in a bit better. Now I'm getting 9 (real 9) perfectly, maybe 2...

Yeah, we really should cancel the landline, it's another ~$30, but old people don't like change. :rolleyes: The idea of reducing the number of recievers did make me think. We currently have 4 FiOS STBs, and I had planned to just put an antenna on my TV. I guess I could do that for another one...

That's just the TV service. $57.99 for the programming and $30 for the receivers.

The economy is hitting us pretty hard right now, and that $90 FiOS bill looks like one of the easiest things to cut back on. I could probably live with OTA alone, but my grandmother really wants Fox News and my brother really wants Nickelodeon. My parents and I have been looking at the Family...

And FiOS will only get you the Sabres in SD.

To be perfectly correct, if your TV has a QAM tuner, you do not need a set top box to receive the *basic* channels (NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX). Since you say they are old CRT's they most likely don't have QAM tuners, and you will need set top boxes.
