They updated the blue bar at the top of the TV Promise page. However, anything you click up there just gives a 404:
What would you do in Nexstar's position?Reads like Nexstar trying to get as much as possible from the turnip while it is still around.
They already suffered back in December 2020. I’m not sure how long the new agreement is with them, but if it’s only a 3-year, then yeah we might see them suffer next. However, if it’s a 4-year, they should hopefully be able to renew without their stations getting pulled again.I fully expect that DISH will suffer as well.
What difference would an extra year make? Do you really believe that Nexstar's greed and pride are likely to diminish?However, if it’s a 4-year, they should hopefully be able to renew without their stations getting pulled again.
Why can't they use an outdoor antenna?I fully expect that DISH will suffer as well. This has become Nexstar's business model.
If only DIRECTV's Digital Antenna solution worked better (or worked at all in the case of the Genie 2) and was much more widely available. Uverse customers are relatively screwed unless they can get by with an indoor antenna.
Because their coax is typically being used for other purposes.Why can't they use an outdoor antenna?
I have no problem picking up WBRE or WYOU 26 miles away from Penobscot with a basic pair of rabbitears I got from the dollar store 20+ years ago. It literally is just a 300 Ohm twin lead soldered to the dipoles connected to a 75 Ohm transformer, it doesn't have anything extra like fine tuning knobs or variable amplification.Heck some areas you can’t even get Nexstar with an indoor antenna, like at my home near Scranton PA I cannot pull either WYOU or WBRE with my RCA indoor antenna.
This is the antenna I use.You're likely either using an antenna with no real VHF elements or put it in a spot near noisy electronics that can interfere with VHF reception, like cheap LED bulbs or poorly shielded power adapters.
BS. They can run another line just like anyone else.Because their coax is typically being used for other purposes.
I think you may misunderstand the market we're discussing (the typical Uverse customer).They can run another line just like anyone else.
I didn't misunderstand anything. How does their service provider make any difference how difficult it is to use an outdoor ota antenna?I think you may misunderstand the market we're discussing (the typical Uverse customer).
If their service provider uses their existing cable, how many cable subscribers do you think are willing and able to install an independent cable. We're not talking about self-installing satellite or FTA users here.I didn't misunderstand anything. How does their service provider make any difference how difficult it is to use an outdoor ota antenna?
