Movie Gallery (Hollywood Video, etc) circling the drain

As reported here. Actually, this is an optimistic article, as others I've read expect them to disappear entirely. Keep an eye out for a big sell off sale at your local Hollywood Video.

I think what hurts Hollywood is the lack of a backroom for the discrimnating porn addict aswell as a majour lack of advertising wich if it wasnt for the fact that I happened to stumble onto the one around the corner buried in the back of a poorly designed strip mall I wouldnt have known there was one here in Athens. Thinking more about it the only one I see doing any local commericials besides netflix blockbuster is vision video wich has five locations in the area and boasts a larger than life collection of overseas and obscure films.

Too bad indeed. I had a MVP deal with Hollywood and only switched to Blockbuster a couple of years ago because BB didn't restrict the new releases. Last I heard, HV had a plan on MVP to eliminate that restriction too. Now both companies are ready to disappear, at least in Jacksonville, FL where nearly all BB stores will be closing in November. Movie Pass and MVP was a good deal for people like me who do rent more than 6 movies a month.
For customers, the loss of these DVD rental stores is too soon since DVD media is just about to get a new life with HD-DVD and BluRay becoming a main stream product. Many will claim that this loss will be great for the small mom&Pop rental businesses, but I disagree. While it may appear to increase their business at first, they will still suffer the same old problem of not having enough inventory for the demand. With increase demand, and still not having the volume buying power as a BB or HV chain, the frustration will cause a snow ball effect in the entire media rental industry.
Is the online rental business the answer?
I don't know about you but from personal experience, I know that online for me was a dismal failure. I tried it and again, inventory was the issue, With BB, I could order the worst unpopular movies online and when they came in, I took them to the store and exchanged them for new releases. It accomplished the same thing as movie pass so I dropped it. YMMV.
People say Netflix is better, with HV and BB gone, I will try that next. It will be my last hold on to a rental market bye gone era.

Since I don't like to own media, rental is the perfect solution. I like the extra features on the DVD too. That rules out PPV or HDPPV. I have said that I won't jump on the HD DVD or BluRay bandwagon until they are ubiquitous in the rental stores. Looks like that day may never happen.

What its really all about is what gets my movie watch time. Looks like DirecTV and DishNetwork adding all these new HD channels is right on time for loss of the media rental market.

I cant agrea that blue ray and hd dvd will be as mainstream as you think simply because the cost for a player is far above the regular dvd players now wich can be gotten for the price of two tickets to the movies in NYC. Maybe in 10 years when the prices get to be more realistic for the common person but even thats being optimistic seeing as how long dvd's were around before the prices on the players came down to something comparable to vcr's.

But the local mom and pops I think will actually thrive with the loss of the national chains and I think that the customer will actually benefit with the loss as some of these shops will have offerings for niche interest's and groups such as one that I checked out back in Ann Arbor Michigan that carried nothing but Asian films and another that had a strong focus on foriegn films and art films wich has for as long as I remember done very well.

I guess no one watched the 2nd season? I thought they had a couple of good episodes, but some were way out of left field like, "Huh?"

Veterans Day and business closed, so movie day and some tv on the patio. Watched several Chewed Up episodes on YouTube out on the patio until lunch time then came inside for the surround and movies.

Raise The Titanic (1980). Great musical score by John Barry of James Bond music fame.

America’s Fastest-Growing EV State Isn’t California—Not by a Long Shot

New data shows electric vehicle adoption is increasingly driven by state policies, electricity prices and charging access—not federal incentives
www.autoweek.com www.autoweek.com

The number-one US state for EV growth, according to the June 22 Yardi report?
Oklahoma.


:eek


It has no ZEV mandates and "minimal" incentives, Yardi says, but also has cheap electricity, high multi-car household rates (so, for example, a non-Lightning Ford F-150 pulls their trailers), and a consumer base willing to switch.

As it is, most consumers buy trucks as comfortable transportation rather than commercial utility. The Cybertruck approach to that goal was way out in left field. It turned out to be more of an austere sedan with awful daily-driver attributes (visibility, parking). The expectations regarding truck durability were dashed early on.

EV owners could face a new $130 annual federal fee as soon as December.

  • Congress is considering a new annual fee for electric vehicle owners to help fund road maintenance.
  • The proposed fee would start at $130 for EVs and $35 for plug-in hybrids, potentially increasing over time.
  • This fee aims to have EV drivers contribute to the Highway Trust Fund, which is primarily funded by gasoline taxes.

Too little too late.

I can actually shed some light on the corp attitude towards call centers.

2015-2017 I was on the Viasat Dealer Council. They would fly us out to CO or CA and wine and dine us. Pretty cool but I was there to give my input because I was a top retailer and I wanted things to improve.
Anyway, at one of the meetings I brought up the fact that customers constantly complained about the overseas call centers. The VP of the company told me that I just didn't understand....those people cost something like 25% of what US employees would cost. Well, as usual when I went out to these meetings, I was loaded for bear....ie facts. I gave them an example of a customer who spent over an hour with one of these call centers and still never got her issue resolved. She called me the next morning after we opened and I had her situation fixed in 2 minutes. I told him "So you guys paid this overseas call center X amount but the customer still wasn't taken care of. I on the other hand, and a US call center probably would have as well because there wouldn't have been the language barrier, had her taken care of in 2 min. so your savings just went right out the door because a US call center would have taken care of her and MANY other customers while your overseas call center did nothing more than PISS off a customer.
Blank stares was all I got.

And THAT was when I realized just how incompetent most of the people are who run these companies. It WAS an enlightening experience.

He bought that for $50,000. What he bought was originally called QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System) from Seattle Computer Products which was designed to be similar to CP/M - an OS for the Intel 8080. Seems like a decent investment. ;-)

There have been claims that the original developer of QDOS stole CP/M code and according to legend there is some command that you can type into MS-DOS that makes it print the name of the developer of CP/M, thus proving theft, but no one seems to know what that command actually is. ;-)

ATT used to be non-existent as well in my area except in cities and towns. Verizon was king and also Carolina West Wireless, a small regional provider. A few years ago I started noticing that ATT's coverage had improved dramatically and since then has overtaken all the others as far as coverage is concerned.

This is what Google Search AI says:

No such command exists. The idea that typing a secret command into MS-DOS or 86-DOS will display Gary Kildall's name or a copyright notice is a long-standing urban legend. [1, 2, 3]

The Legend vs. The Facts
    • The Claim: A popular story (often attributed to writer Jerry Pournelle) claimed that Gary Kildall personally demonstrated that MS-DOS contained stolen CP/M code by typing a hidden command that revealed Kildall's name. [1]
    • The Reality: Forensic software analyses—including independent studies of the source code released by Microsoft—found no proof of copied CP/M source code in MS-DOS or its predecessor, QDOS (written by Tim Paterson). [1, 2]
    • API Compatibility: While QDOS intentionally mirrored CP/M's application programming interface (API) and system call numbers so that CP/M software could be easily ported, it was written from scratch in 8086 assembly using published manuals rather than direct code theft. [1, 2, 3]
But we should still take it with two huge grains of salt ;)

I think a lot has to do with what carrier was Verizon originally in that area as Verizon was basically GTE Wireless, BellAtlantic Mobility, Vodafone AirTouch and PrimeCo. The PrimeCo was basically a PCS network similar to the AT&T Orange aka Cingular Wireless networks.

Same here as even in the early days, most people went the AT&T formerly known here as CellularOne because AT&T was cheaper in costs while Verizon formerly known as GTE here was supposedly better but more expensive. At least the Venture Capital Companies on Sand Hill Road chose Verizon for service reliability for a reason.

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Disney+ will soon offer 3D movies

Starting November 10, today, Disney+ brings 3D movies and immersive environments to Meta Quest 3 and 3S devices. Watch select films like Marvel's The Avengers with immersive depth and scale on a screen as big as you want it.
To get started, update your Meta Quest headset to the latest software, open Disney+ and look for the 3D Collection icon in the app navigation bar to check out available 3D films.

To access you have to update your Meta Quest to the latest version v2.10 which was public released on Nov 9. This will also update the controllers as well. Then launch the Disney+ app. This comes with several environments. I tested the Disney 3D theater one and it is in VR180 3D. Watched the new Avengers Movie Quantumania.
The movie is not VR180 3D. It is theater screen 3D. But in a VR180 3D environment.

I last bought a flat 3D LCD Passive screen from LG but had to order it from China. The remote control is in Chinese. You might research the Chinese websites for what is offered. I only use it in my edit suite to edit 3D theatrical Video Productions.

Keep in mind, The Disney+ app I tested is for the Meta Quest and I tested so far on my Quest 3.
My home theater uses a Sony projector so I'll test that later. I'm not even sure the Disney+ app on the Apple Vision Pro supports 3D. But I have two BluRay 3D players that also have streaming apps so may need to test with that source.

I'll check it out this evening but 3d is not really something I'm overly interested in tbh.
Click to expand...
I've been excited about 3D for over a decade. Have hundreds of movies in 3D BluRay. But the image quality was never as good as with the Meta Quest or expensive Apple Vision Pro. If you have the 3 it's probably going to be the best experience of all the head mounted display. Just charge it up and go into settings and update your software over wifi. That takes about 5 -10 minutes to V2.10. If you already have Disney+ loaded you should be all set. If not you will need to install that next and subscribe.

I've been on and off with Disney+ over the years and just recently subscribed monthly based on them announcing this 3D a few months back. I'll probably switch to the annual plan Premium with Hulu now they came through with this 3D. BTW- the Dolby Atmos surround sound is amazingly good.

Wife's iPhone 15 doesn't allow her to choose LTE only for data

We were up in Pigeon Forge, TN a month ago and we couldn't get anything on our phones to work on mobile data...the Ookla speed test app couldn't even do a speed test. I have an older 13 and went into my settings and turned off the 5G, making it use LTE exclusively....did a speed test of over 300mbps so obviously the 5G bands were overwhelmed.
