It took a couple of days for the snow/ice to melt off the dish a few years back. No TV during that time. It would take some effort to kill my buried fiber line. I’ve had fiber for about 5 years… never lost access. Buried power lines as well. I think I’ve had 3 power outages in 15 years in the...

Yet today, pretty much everything is C. If it’s not C it uses C to interact with the operating system, written in C or calls a library written in C because it is too slow to do otherwise (I’m looking at you, Python, which is pretty much written in C). Your other choice is HTML/CSS/that language...

And now, Microsoft owns most of that world… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_and_open_source Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Linux is licensed under the GPL. The GPL is a virus, that infects everything it comes in contact with. Apple doesn’t want anything that touches their OS to touch the GPL, going so far as removing almost everything that is GPL’d. I think this includes emacs and why they bought Clang instead of...

Sure. What choice did we have? We paid for channels we wanted, we paid for channels we didn’t want. We also paid for equipment, fees, and anything that they could add ( and they could add anything they wanted as a separate line item, is so it seemed). Right now, you can pay for as little as you...

That is my ‘lazy viewing.’ Right now, I am half paying attention to the Roy Clark episode of the Muppet Show on Disney+. I’ll let it go to the next episode, which I think is Gilda Radner. I will probably swap over to LA Galaxy v Red Bull NY at 5:30. I really don’t want to put on CNN or other...

My question about this is how do you watch TV? Are you using a cable replacement like YouTube TV or Hulu Live, or are you using only on-demand services like Netflix, Disney+, or the like? We watch a mix of the two, but mostly cable replacement. This distinction was also missed by the article...

Basically what you are saying is not ‘I have DirecTV for sports.’ What you are saying is ‘I need DirecTV for out-of-market NFL.’ Just to be clear, streaming is a much better way to get all sports that aren’t the NFL. Those of us that don’t need the NFL don’t need DirecTV. Sent from my iPhone...

Really? No. Just the opposite. If you are into a league, buy the out-of-market pack for it... MLB, NBA, NHL, stream every game but your the home team. Soccer, you need ESPN+ for MLS and La Liga, Serie A, and FA Cup. Paramount+ for Champions and Europa League, and Peacock for EPL. ESPN+ has...

Hydrogen isn’t really an energy source. It’s more a storage option, essentially a battery. The energy to produce hydrogen needs to come from somewhere. You can use green electricity for hydrolysis, but what’s the point? Battery prices have dropped and energy density improved to where its...

If there is a potential bright spot, 3 million losses would be ~750k per quarter, but the losses in Q4 2020 were only 617k, below that pace. It may be a sign that losses are slowing and they are nearing a bottom. Or, it could just be a sign that people are waiting until after football season to...

That why I said they’d run out of customers before they run out of satellites. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

T(DirecTV)-10, launched in 2007, has a design life of 15 years. Two more years. T11, T12 were launched pretty much annually after that. The last three were 2014-2019. Granted , satellites can be in service longer than there design life, or shorter. Anyhow, over the next 5 years, all but three...

I almost left You Tube TV for Spectrum, but they want me to have a TV box, even though I could stream everything. As it is, I have my phone companies fiber 1 GB, landline and lifeline TV product. It costs less than internet alone. I’d upgrade to their standard cable offering if they ever come...

I just wonder how often he’ll have to go in and fix it. It’s sitting with wire loops in the doorway to a linen closet. People will be bumping into it daily. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You get a second streaming subscription for the price of your DVR, HD, Whole Home and equipment fees. Those fees could easily add up to the cost of a second subscription. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m guessing most of those markets are where the telephone company has installed fiber to the house. Our teleco has in my neighborhood, and they offer TV or spectrum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s easier to add live TV to Hulu. My first stop when I decided to drop DirecTV’/AT&T Now last year after they hiked their price was Hulu + Live. I’d have probably kept them if the UI didn’t totally suck. I’d have had to figure out how to get Doctor Who for my wife. I’d have come up with...

My understanding is that In-market, it’s normally the RSN. That is usually available through linear services like cable, sat, or You Tube TV. Some teams are carried locally OTA. Out-of-market is the out-of-market package, which is available through cable or streaming. Costs seem to be the same...

Sports are going streaming. All major leagues and college conferences except the NFL have an out-of-market streaming service. In market for the most part is available through cable. Directv sports pack was never worth the cost with blackout rules. Now, the strongest argument is about internet...

One thing happening on streaming devices is development of a central aggregator app. On Apple, it’s the Apple TV app. Most of the streaming service apps provide access to their content to the Apple TV app, and you can go there and open what you want in the streaming service app, like click a...

So, I stayed at the Hilton at L'Enfant Plaza in DC a couple of times in the past six months... They have a system where you can cast from your phone through their wifi to the TV. They also have mid-teir cable channels, ESPN/ESPN2, CNN, a couple of other news/sports/entertainment channels...

Neither of these are keen on Fire TVs. https://www.techradar.com/news/television/6-best-smart-tv-platforms-in-the-world-today-1120795 https://www.tomsguide.com/us/smartest-smart-tv,review-5986.html I have a fire stick on the TV in the spare bedroom. It's OK. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I forgot that my 3 year old Samsung could run apps when I got my Apple TVs about 2 years ago. When I bought the TV, I had DirecTV, so didn't use apps. I got the Apple TVs when I switched to DirecTV Now. At the time, DirecTV Now was beta testing their new app, and it wasn't available on Samsung...

I mentioned Android. Fire really isn't used by many smart TVs. I thought it was pretty much a dying platform. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
