    BBC News Moving to Streaming Only

    Most likely DISH got it cheap, if they're paying anything for it, now that it is streaming. Since it is ad supported BBC can claim the Dish subscribers as viewers to potential advertisers.

    BBC News Moving to Streaming Only

    So it sounds more like in reality what happened is Dish didn't renew their agreement to carry the linear version of BBC News (unless they didn't give them that option), but did agree to carry the "Free" streaming version I'm sure at a much lower rate.

    D11 outage 2/27/2024 (Resolved on 2/28)

    Can we tell yet if they're coming back on D11, or are they moving them to other satellites?

    BBC News Moving to Streaming Only

    I still say it is deceptive. The wording implies this isn't a Dish decision and isn't their fault, when in actuality it clearly is their decision at this point in time. There are no references anywhere to BBC News switching to streaming at this point on other providers, and the BBC statement...

    BBC News Moving to Streaming Only

    Is it really though, or is this just Dish using that as an excuse? I have BBC News on Spectrum and DirecTV, and neither have made any statement about the channel changing or going away. I've searched Google as well, and the only reference at all to anything along these lines is a statement the...

    FOR SALE 2019 NVIDIA Shield "Tube" Streaming Media Player

    I have available one of the 2019 edition of the NVIDIA Shield "Tube" Streaming Media Players. It's about a year old and has had very little use with no signs of wear. Based on Android TV these have to be some of the best streaming devices I've ever used. We recently switched to a TV with "Fire...

    FOR SALE Apple Mac mini, 3GHz Dual Core i7 "Late 2014" New 2.0TB SSD $300 shipped

    Price reduced to $300 shipped. Really need to get this gone. It would make a great Channels DVR server for HDHomeRun devices, or a Plex server.

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    For the time being I played customer service roulette with Spectrum today and switched to their "TV Choice" package. It gives me 15 channels of my choosing plus locals and I saved $54 a month. The really sad part is I had a hard time picking 15 channels I would watch on a regular basis...

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    All of these providers already have infrastructure in place to stream. My guess is they'll do like the NHL did when they partnered with MLB AM for their streaming operations. They'll most likely pick whoever has the best infrastructure in place (personally, I would choose ESPN if it were me...

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    $40 is a good price point. Right now we are streaming service poor at our house as it is. We have Paramount+, Disney+, ESPN+, MAX (promo rate for 6 months), Hulu (bundled with the Disney stuff), Netflix and Peacock (picked up a $29 promo rate for a year prior to the Wild Card game last month) so...

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    This is a game changer for me for sure. I'm definitely kicking Spectrum to the curb soon anyway. I was just waiting until after March Madness. They're making changes and forcing TiVo users like me to quit using TiVo, so at some point in the not too distant future I would either have to rent...

    FOR SALE Apple Mac mini, 3GHz Dual Core i7 "Late 2014" New 2.0TB SSD $300 shipped

    I bought this Mac Mini from OWC Mac Sales in December planning to move my Channels DVR server to it, but I decided to stick with the NAS for the time being so I'm offering it for sale. It is still in the original packaging from OWC, and hasn't been booted at all. This is how they described it...

    My House is Under Attack! What’s that you say? The Calls are Coming from Inside?!??!!?

    Do you have the "Limit IP Address Tracking" option enabled on your iOS devices by any chance? (To see, click on WiFi in settings and then tap on the "i" symbol on the right side of your active connected network. If I had to guess I'd say it is connected to that.

    Two great games, no blowouts this year in the Semifinals at least! It will be interesting to see how Michigan and Washington works out.

    2023-2024 NCAA Football Thread

    I agree with this. Or they should start writing these NIL deals to say the kids don't get the $$ unless they complete the ENTIRE season, including bowl games. The NCAA could help by not opening the portal for transfers until the bowls are over too. But the real problem is all these schools...

    How many use Dual Sim?

    Just curious how many of you out there are using the Dual Sim functionality of the more recent iPhones? How well does it work as far as switching between data signals, etc? Where I am Verizon has the best coverage overall, but their 5G is lacking I've been considering adding our old landline #...

    2023-2024 NCAA Football Thread

    Exactly. All the conferences are about the same in reality. You have a couple of consistent teams at the top, with an occasional upstart team making some noise. The SEC just gets all the hype.

    2023-2024 NCAA Football Thread

    FSU and Clemson have been carrying the ACC on the football front since the conference expanded and started having a Championship game. Of the 19 ACC Championships the two have combined to win 14 of them, and one of them has appeared in 16 of the 19 games. Beyond that there isn't much consistency...

    FOR SALE ViewSonic 15.6inch Portable 1080p Monitor w/ USB-C, HDMI & Case

    I bought this portable monitor during the "Work from Home" era, but honestly only ended up using it once or twice. It is in like new condition with all the original cables and protective sleeve. Currently sells for $99 on Amazon, but I'd sell for $75 shipped. Full specs can be found at...

    In the process of installing 30' tv antenna tower

    I wish I could talk my wife into allowing me to put up one of those. We have access to two markets, but to pick up the ABC station from the one I really want I need to be at a minimum of 22' on that antenna per rabbitears because of obstructions along the way. With the roof line and shape of our...

    Level News-10 news channels for $5.99

    This one was short lived, sadly. Got an e-mail earlier in the week that they're shutting down as of September 30th. It was a good idea, but not having the big boys (CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, etc.) made it difficult to gain subscribers.

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 15

    I picked up my 15 Pro Max at the UPS Store this morning. I most likely won't mess with switching over until the weekend though. Verizon wouldn't accept my phone on trade in, so I started checking Amazon and eBay for phones that were on their list. I was able to pick up an excellent Android 5G...

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 15

    My case from Supcase (their UB Pro case with Magsafe capabilities) arrived yesterday, so now all I need is my phone to arrive and I will be set. Their cases are very rugged, and affordable versus the others (Otterbox, etc.). I high recommend them for someone looking for that type of case. Knock...

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 15

    That makes sense. I honestly don't know what GS was thinking in the first place though. It's always been said that the Apple Card had really high approval criteria versus other cards. If you're only approving the best group of consumers and they're using the card to buy products that cost...

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 15

    Apple must have some really odd criteria for their card. I applied and was denied. Makes no sense, I literally have a 780 credit score. Who do they give these things too?
