That's the best thing I'll read all week!

The horrible trend toward a dumbed-down tiled, picture-focused UI has been going on for over a decade. Computer OS, websites, set-top boxes, etc. I can only assume that the developers got lazy or cheap and decided that a single cell phone/tablet UI was good for everything. I hate looking for...

In addition, name any cable or satellite service that allows the customer to not pay for locals, PTAT, AutoHop commercials, add or drop mini-packs at anytime at a prorated price with the Flex Pack. In order to provide these options, serious negotiatons had to occur and continuously occur with...

Don't let facts get in the way of a good rant.

Someone must be really triggered to be blanket posting in multiple threads. Take a breath.

Feed the greed!

I get my local Jacksonville Fox over an antenna for free, so no need to pay the pig ransom.

Still no list view on the Hopper? Blasphemy! :D

Went through the disconnect procedure again this morning and now the signal appears stable (2 hours and counting). I fear it may have been water intrusion that eventually evaporated away.

International Basic $15 + $7 DVR...just so that I can get through the 100s of hours of backlogged DVR content stored on my EHDs. Still is nice to have trick play and DVR capabilities on my OTA channels.

My 722 lost signal during a thunderstorm (typical Florida cloud cover event) but didn't come back after the storm passed. After multiple reset attempts and checking the point dish screen (all zeros on both 61.5 and 72.7), I discovered that if I leave the point dish screen up and unscrew the coax...

And it could have been that one employee clicking on that link months ago, downloading the malware that silently propagated throughout the entire network for a long time before activating the ransomware. Thus, simple recent backups would not be an option, and going back too far in time to...

That, and sports channels. Both went up multiple times the rate of inflation.

Ok, fine. The website is more useful than the app for the vast majority of users. :)

Yeah, I found the app to be useless compared to the website. And the website is a lot less useful than it used to be. I'm talking about long before the hack.

You mean like what's already being done with the bots on Facebook and Twitter?

I already did, and am trying to forget that pointless "discussion"

I love this place. This thread has an entire page of posts devoted to banking regulations and now a long string on DNS. :)

And for the non-technical, TTL stands for time-to-live.

I called a few days ago to drop the Latino Bonus Pack which I planned on doing during the outage. I was given the option for a callback instead of waiting, and an hour or so later I got the call. Everything went fine and I got confirmation that the pack was removed, but she couldn't back date...

Stupid question, but how would you miss them? Couldn't you just catch up on them once you had access again? Isn't that the point of streaming?

My autopay just went through, right on schedule.

Yep. it made no financial sense to keep feeding those ever-rising sub fees and forcing them onto everyone. It was a long time coming. The bloated bubble finally burst.

I'd say it's more about gross fiscal irresponsibility. Overbloated revenue from record TV contracts, payrolls and spending rising exponentially, expecting that viewers will continue to foot the bill no matter what. I think I brought this up at least 10 years ago before streaming was even a...
