Got a free trial of Fubo with a new TV I bought. Renews at $107.60/month? WTF?

Needless to say I won't be keeping it.

Appears to me there's not much difference between streaming packages and "Traditional Paid Live TV" now.

At THAT price, I'd have stayed with Dish.


Calling Bruce, calling Bruce!
You were paying a lot more to Dish than that Fubo price.

True. Overall I've been satisfied with Centurylink at my house. It's just that they are no longer upgrading their equipment. At least the phone line (POTS) delivery network. My brother lives in a rural mountain location about 20 miles from the nearest town. His DSL and landline phone were always going out. With Starlink he has solid internet and WiFi calling if needed.

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....

Keep in mind, this is just the broadband service, TV increases probably coming soon-

Are you ready to pay more again? Spectrum has implemented a $10 monthly price increase on many of its internet service plans, with the higher rates now appearing on customer bills.

They've had us at $90 a month internet-only since this past February. 6 days ago, I received and email from them saying they upped our speed from 400 to 500 Mbps. Nothing about an increase in price, but they always sneak those in as often as possible.

How do you like the ATT Air ?
I got some info about them recently, but didn't really look seriously, I don't think it's available here as of now.

I could probably do better than that but I'm not sure what I think of the Air type of internet yet ... I am in a Verizon area and they keep trying to get me, they told (Verizon) they would give it to me for $29 a month for 2 years, I think, then it goes to $59 .... which is what I pay for my current set up with another local ISP.

Last time I looked into the Air stuff, T Mobile was the only one availabe .. (now it appears Verizon is too)

Happy 'Spectrum Day' to me - the day when their new plans hit for Cox customers they've acquired. Moving over to a Spectrum plan is saving me $20 out of the gate, and could save me as much as $90/mo if I move 2 of my lines from Fi over, for the first year at least.

Now paying for $125/mo for 2GB synchronous fiber, unlimited data. Would be reduced to $105 if I moved 2 lines over. Those lines cost me $25/ea per month on Google Fi.

I started with 400mb Spectrum a few years ago at a vacation house and I believe it was $39/mo with some free cell phone account which I never used. Our last bill was just about $100 so I'll be switching to Starlink @ $55/mo for 100mb speed as soon as I can figure a way to disguise one of their flat panel antennas as part of a fake spark arrestor on a chimney that is not in use. Fios is starting to install in the same town but it will be along time before they get to my neighborhood.

Dropped my R1T off at the service center yesterday for the warranty work. It was like they gave me my truck back, the loaner they gave me is a 22 R1T quad motor with adventure package in forest green with black mountain ash interior. Identical to my 23 except it has the 21in range wheels and surprisingly only has12,000 miles. Someone left their Apple Music account logged in on it, so gave Apple music a try on the way home instead of using my Youtube Music.

Took the scenic way back home on Route 66 to avoid the turnpike and possible double tolls since it would read the plate and charge Rivian the plate pay amount which is double the normal pikepass rates.

Mine should be ready tomorrow or Friday according the front office at the service center.

Thinking I'm gonna have this loaner for the next week. Service Center just called and they're behind and didn't get to start on it today. According to the book time on the estimate there is about 1.5-2 days of work. They would need to finish by noon Friday for me to have enough time to drive there before closing and they're not open on weekends.

I am on the fence right now. I am wondering if I should or should not. I am tempted, plus the fact that I feel I missed out some not getting the iPhone and waiting until the iPhone 3G to get one.

So, who is going to order one? Right now I am leaning about 80% towards risking it...

I'm not a happy watchOS 27 user. For whatever reason, my Series 11 Apple Watch is not tracking my exercise. I got done with a 44 minute indoor walk and it recorded zero minutes of exercise activity! It also said that I walked .45 miles instead of my usual two miles in that timeframe.

Now that the rains have stopped, I'm going to try an Outdoor Walk and see if it's more inclined to track my Exercise.

Rain held off today, and we got some great oval racing. Veekay... continued the pace in Race 1 - Take Two. Pit stops kept sending him back a little and he'd work his way back up. In the end, Dixon, of all people, was slowing down McLaughlin, and Veekay boldly made a move and took 3rd place. It is funny how arbitrary distinctions matter so much. Fourth is very good, but third is on the podium and incredible. Race 1, Veekay started in 24th, finished in 3rd. JHR has some soul searching to do. They have up'd the game with the car, and now that they are fighting for podiums, they need to level up the pit crew performance. That was the reason Veekay did less well and finished 7th in Race 2.

O'Ward won both races (7th driver to win two races on same day, first since some Mears character in 1981), after apparently hitting the reset button on the car setup. Malukas was better positioned to win Race 1, but a power issue on the restart dogged him and that was that. DC turned out to be good, but today was what "awesome" actually looks like, and I'm not saying that because Veekay finished 3rd and 7th. There is a reason Milwaukee is still around, while other ovals have come and gone.

Palou played the 'don't DNF' card as his car "struggled", but it did enough to stay in front of Kirkwood who really failed to perform in Race 1. From the start he sank. Palou is only the second driver to win 4 titles in a row, the other being Bourdais, and to be fair Indycar wasn't quite as competitive in those days. Only Foyt has put up results like Palou has. Andretti is an asterisk because he went to F1, so Andretti's numbers would likely be better had he stayed in USAC. Palou is looking to be a multi-generational talent. It'd be great to see him in F1, but F1 is so political, we aren't even allowed to talk about at this web board except in The Pit. ;) And the guy is super-chill, very friendly, always smiling. I remember see him after the Mid-Ohio race two years ago, when he goofed up and finished second. Smiles to the fans in Paddock.

One of the features for the Hopper Plus is:

"Google Chromecast Built-In
Cast content effortlessly. Users can beam photos, music, videos, and presentations directly from an Android or iOS smartphone or tablet straight to the TV screen."

Anyone here with a Hopper Plus able to cast to it currently? I can see the Hopper Plus in apps like Youtube but the connecting will just time out and never connect. Google Home app is not showing the Hopper Plus either. My Google Chromecast Ultra works fine for casting and also shows up in Google Home app.

Seems like the Google Cast feature on my Hopper Plus is not working as the Hopper Plus shows up as a casting device except it is unable to connect. It does disappear as a when the Hopper Plus is doing the nightly reboots. This is a Hopper 3 with H711 software and Hopper Plus with P15317 software. I could not tell if this feature is broken for me only or for others as well as no one here seems to be using the Google Cast feature on the Hopper Plus based on the non-response of this thread. My Google Chromecast Ultra on the same network is working without issues for casting.
