    I see that TiVo Edge for Antenna is discontinued (even the 2 tuner now), are they going to make another OTA DVR or is TiVo done?

    Monthly is the default. Annual is an option, as is lifetime Lifetime is probably as long as a cable option is available. Spectrum seems to be ready to stop cable and push streaming, which won't work with these boxes. Ultimately the boxes become useless when TIVO stops supporting guide data

    My TIVOs have been bombarded with messages offering fire sale prices on the Edge. I have an Edge and a Roamio, both with lifetime.

    Bally Sports RSNs Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    Funny, Spectrum is doing the opposite here. I was able to choose my local RSN as part of the lowest tier, Total Choice pick 15.

    Do you wear glasses or contacts or don't you?

    None right now. I have been waiting 14 months for them to do my cataract surgery. 2 weeks to go, yay. Why does it take so long for any medical procedure these days. I mean, really, 14 months from diagnosis to surgery?

    Which is better, wireless charging or wired?

    One thing the article misses is reliability. Constant use of usb or lightning will eventually cause the port to fail. I have lost equipment over that issue. Since wireless avoids a mechanical connection it is more reliable by design

    Tivo Edge Over the Air DVR Sale - $100 Off!

    I've had TIVOs for a decade. The only time I ever needed a third tuner was when I had a TIVO MINI connected. The mini would steal a tuner

    Notice: Upcoming Style Change

    I mostly like it. My big issue is that it isn't respecting default font size in preferences. My old eyes and small tablet say nope

    How Many Plasmas Going?

    Fwiw, I still use a 2008 Panny 50S1 plasma daily as a bedroom unit. Still meets all my needs for a bedroom unit

    A well-rounded embedded engineer? Discussion of Engineering and Software areas of study

    I have been trying to wrap my head around a response for several hours without success. The p r oblem is that the picture you paint is very broad. I see areas you mention as essential where an engineer in a subfield wouldn't need to know or care. At the same time I see a few holes that any...

    Whats for breakfast?

    Found this cute gadget on Amazon that makes a better McMuffin. Simple to use and takes 3 minutes. Made some today with leftover butcher bacon, mild cheddar rounds, an egg and locally sourced English muffins. A totally different and much better experience.

    Dual recording DVR for private cable systems

    Wow, that thread you quoted is 14 years old. Must admit that I haven't kept up on commercial guide services. I suspect theiy disappeared with the trend toward streaming.

    Post any unpopular opinions that you have that aren't political or religious...

    When I got my MSEE in 1977, I chose HP because they made stuff nobody else could make. When I left HP in 2001 They only sold stuff nobody else would bother with. I was on the instrument side. I looked at a Keysite catalog in 2015. Nearly everything in there was something I had worked with...

    Dish now asking if I am still watching, and shuts off if I don’t respond

    Just a bit of paranoia. Is it possible that DISH is selling viewing data and they need to verify people are actually watching.

    IBM PC Turns 40 Years Old

    Hmmm. I interviewed IBM in Boca Raton for this secret project ba ck in 1976. Took a job at HP instead worting on their desktop and 'personal' computers. HP spent over a decade trying to sell their 'better' computers until finally realizing that standard is better than better. Today I tell...

    Map shows which counties are home to the highest number of excessive drinkers in the United States

    Lived there once. As I recall, a big chunk of the drinking was sampling the local vineyards. Here in Wisconsin it is beer. Lots of beer. Tavern on every block. Beer gardens in all the parks in summer. Huge bidding war for rights to run the bar on the beach on Lake Michigan

    Home Run king, Hank Aaron has died at 86

    My dad used to take me to the MILWAUKEE Braves games back in 1956 -58. I was totally a fan of Aaron, as well as Matthew's, Spahn, and Adcock. Never forgave rhe team for moving to Atlanta, but I always had a soft spot for Hank Aaron. A class act.
