What is happening to Nat Geo!?

I scrolled through the listings on Nat Geo for the next few days and this is what's scheduled (see below). What does any of this have to do with National Geographics? This is junk on the level of Discovery Channel, not worthy to be associated with the once respected name of National Geographics. Sad. I'm not seeing a bright future existence for it.

To Catch A Smuggler: (fill in any city name)
Drugs Inc: The Fix
Narco Wars
Gordon Ramsey
Wicked Tuna

Many of those shows you listed have been part of Nat Geo's lineup for over a decade. Drugs Inc has been on their schedule since 2010, Wicked Tuna and To Catch A Smugler have been around since 2012, while shows like Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted and Narco Wars were originally comissioned around 5 years ago back when FOX still owned the channel.

DIRECTV & Spectrum May Have Just Killed 30 Cable TV Networks | Cord Cutters News

Contrary to the claims of that Cord Cutters headline (where most of their articles are misleading SEO clickbait), DIRECTV has NOT signed any deal similar to what Spectrum did. And despite Spectrum dropping Nat Geo Wild, Disney XD, Disney Junior, FXX, Freeform, and others back in August, all of them still have exclusive first run programming scheduled well into next year, including 3 new shows that were announced last week for Freeform.

Also nothing was saved for the consumer by dropping them, most of those networks were only pennies per subscriber as their operational costs are tied to their more popular sister channels, so the rates of their base packages didn't go down as a result of this deal, and now Spectrum customers have to pay an extra $7.99 ($17.99 ad free) for a Hulu subscription (which wasn't part of the deal) if they want next day access to FXX and Freeform's originals, and wait until the current seasons finish airing for Disney+ to get the other originals, while Disney+ doesn't even have the rights to Disney XD's first run anime dubs. Word is the only way to take advantage of the bundled Disney+ or ESPN+ offer will be to switch to one of the Spectrum "essentials" packages where you lose access to even more channels that have exclusive first run programming, and if it's anything like other bundled OTT offers like Peacock's, they won't be able to upgrade to the ad free option.

As a Charter customer, I am soooooo happy those channels are gone. The only downside was the return of all of the other Disney owned channels. I wished they would have just gone away and never came back.

None of the channels that were removed have a valid reason to exist. Their content can be migrated to the flagship channels if Disney cared enough. FXX is an utterly useless channel. It has a grand total of three original series, all with a 30 minute run time, two of which used to be on FX. If each one of those series had 10 episode seasons that's a grand total of 15 hours (minus commercials) of unique content a year. With most new FX original content going to Hulu, I'm sure Disney could spare 15 hours on FX if they really wanted to.

Freeform's target audience is 13 year old girls, not that same demographic as cable TV viewers. From October through the end of the year, how many times can one watch Hocus Pocus and the first two Home Alone movies?

Very happy that Disney+ will only be for subscribers with the new packages. I'm on the old TV Gold package, so I won't be indirectly paying that awful company for something I will never use. It's bad enough the ESPNs came back.

All it will take is for one more of the larger MSOs to make a similar deal to what Charter did and most of those channels will fold.

Hopefully Charter does the same when the Viacom contract comes up. I saw an article the other day where the CEO of Charter made a comment about why are they paying for Comedy Central when quite a bit of the new South Park content is going directly to Paramount Plus. The programming providers are devaluing their own channels by moving a lot of original content to their streaming services and are using existing channels to run cheap reality garbage and the same old shows over and over. How many channels really need to show Friends, The Office, and Law & Order all day long?

The only thing I wish to say, Charter got rid of all those channels, made their expenses a lot better, yet did not reduce the monthly fee with their elimination of them.

If I remember correctly, had the standard two price increases in a year, just like Comcast and now, DirecTV.

So you might be glad they are gone, yet you still pay their way too high of a price for a bunch of rerun channels and a Broadcast Channels fee of over $20, for channels you can get with a antenna.

Don't understand the logic at all. This in all likelihood prevented or lessened the blow of a future price increase. Charter is still probably paying the same or more with the new deal, just not paying as much as they could have been had they agreed to carry the worthless channels that were removed. If they are not paying any less, no reason why the subscriber should be paying less.

And even with the the Broadcast fee, in many situations, mine included, Charter is much cheaper than DirecTV for as close as possible equivalent levels of programming and packaging.

Have you tried a new power brick on your Amiko? It's slim pickings out there anymore. The FTA market in the US has pretty much been abandoned.

This would likely be your best bet, and Rick is a good seller. I've never had any issues with him:

'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1

I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

Yeah, the foot stuff was just nasty. I kept thinking of how dirty her feet would get traipsing around shoe-less. Funny, I love being shoe less at home and never wear shoes indoors in my home for long, but seeing her laying on all her furniture with her bare feet hanging out just kind of grossed me out.

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....

Well, the bag can't weigh that much, right? But by law food product packaging must display the actual net weight of the product, i.e., the contents of the container, so by any logic, if not law, a store's stated per-ounce cost should reflect that figure. But since there's not any law regulating shelf statements, a store can say whatever it wants without violating any rules. So I guess the answer is more consumer legislation. Or simply caveat emptor.

I would think that the Vendor/Maker of the product would have a say in it, showing the Correct weight ...

You certainly don't want to put unbagged produce on a belt, scale, or in a clerk's hands (gloved or not).

You would be thinking wrong when it comes to goods that are sold by weight (meat, produce, nails). Those items typically go on the scale wrapped without an associated tare. The weight only excludes the sticker because it hasn't been printed yet.

Depending on the amount of sugar and sodium (don't think theres sodium in it, but Carbs probably is.)

$7.50 a 1/2 gallon, thats worse than Bryers price wise.

I'll give that a try next time, if I can find some in the right sugar areas.

What ever I get out of the Deli is put into a container when I ask them for it, they weight the container and then add the deli product, thats the way its suppose to be, if the rest of the world is screwing you, you should try the place down the street.

They are probably cheating you by swapping store brand product for name brand...those store deli's are very sketchy

They are made every day at this place ... it's a little Ma and Pop store ...

When ever I order something, they weigh the container (like everyone is suppose to) then weigh the product, so you actually get what your paying for lb wise ...

I did look into that ... the ones I get have about 65mg, which is very little ... but then I wouldn't expect much to be in Ice Cream.
Carbs are more than I would have liked ...

We're less than 4 weeks away from Voyager 1 reaching a distance of one light day from Earth

I've always been super interested in things space related so this is a pretty cool event coming up. Nov 18, 2026 early in the morning, Voyager 1 will reach the distance of one full light day from Earth. Took almost 50 yrs. I was 13 when it launched.
