  1. Sirius XM General Discussion
    I'm tired of always having to threaten to quit to get to the "real" price of a subscription - and I don't mean just SiriusXM (that's not an issue with me since I bought a lifetime subscription in 2006). I signed up with a newspaper on a 1-year special for $15 or something like that. Renewal...
  2. Sirius XM General Discussion
    I'm buying a Tesla Model 3 and I have had a lifetime SiriusXM subscription since 2006. I've yet to transfer the subscription. Tesla appears to have NOT put a SiriusXM tuner in their new Model 3 so I need my own solution. Streaming from the phone would work but: 1) I do drive through some...

    A few days ago, Elon Musk filed the paperwork for permission to launch 4,425 satellites into orbit. Some highlights: - The first wave of 800 satellites will provide North American service. - More waves will go out at 3 different altitudes. - The satellites will not JUST communicate with the...

    Comcast is rolling this out where they have no competition. Here in NH, they don't because I get TRULY unlimited internet from Fairpoint - and it's fiber right to my house. I will NEVER deal with a company like Comcast who charges twice as much for less than half the speed as you get IN...
  5. TV Show Talk
    My wife is crazy about this show as she's VERY much into All Things Scottish (she's even a certified instructor of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society). I merely "really like" this show :) That being said, the 'perversions' are not exaggerations. I had the good fortune to visit Scotland...
  6. TV Show Talk
    There's an old axiom out there that 90% of everything is crap. Finding that 10% when there are only 3 major networks is fairly easy. Finding that 10% in today's universe of choices is a lot more difficult. I kind of agree with him on that point. But there's never been a time where more...
  7. TV Show Talk
    I've been a baseball fan since about 1970. I only heard about this show because they interviewed a former ballplayer who was involved and talked about all the cooperation they got from MLB and all the work that the star of the show put into being realistic. He didn't say it in words, but his...

    *If* I remember correctly, net neutrality primarily deals with WIRED access. Wireless is a different beast since there IS a finite amount of spectrum out there. If you run out of bandwidth on a wired connection, you can lay another cable. If that happens in the wireless arena, you can't just...

    Best to do this in September when the rosters expand to 40.

    Hey, F-35s nearly fell out of the sky because they couldn't handle crossing the International Date Line. I remember doing my first Y2K project. *In 1994* - the hospital where I worked was rather forward thinking.

    Unfortunately I can't help much. I had a Kindle Fire HD (until I gave it to my daughter recently) and it ran MLB At Bat and the aspect ratio was spot on. Now I'm only running it on iOS devices (iPhone 6+ and iPad Pro) and not having any trouble.

    What kind of tablets are you running?
  13. Gaming Fun - The Other Reality
    Tell the writer that Pac Man came out in 1980 in Japan so those arcades were NOT in the 1970s.

    But Tony will still be out $35,000.
  15. TV Show Talk
    There's an old saying that 90% of everything is crap. Not every show in the 1950s was "I Love Lucy" caliber. It's just that, if the 90% figure still holds true, with all the channels and other distribution sources, there's a LOT of 90% to wade through!
  16. General DISH™ Discussion
    I don't think it's a coincidence that AJA went away after the price of oil plummeted and was then forecast to pretty much stay there for quite a while. When your other income is down for an extended period of time, you have to look to where you can tighten your belt.

    It was nice to have a network that didn't ONCE mention the word "Kardashian"

    The article I read suggested they'll either make their own equipment or team up with Penske since the Penske cars are the only Fords running up front.
  20. TV Show Talk
    I watched the premiere and I'm certainly interested. There was really only one dialogue between the two main characters that I wished had happened - but that's nitpicking and I won't spoil it here.
