    I know they have sent announcements sometimes, but I honestly don't remember seeing anything about these last two. I suppose it is possible that it could have been overshadowed by news of the Disney carriage dispute.

    One of the shorter channel outages during a dispute that I can remember... and I too got the $15 credit already on my bill which came about a day after all this transpired... only negative for me was having to go back to the computer to re-add my local ABC channel to the custom guide after it...

    I'm surprised it actually went this far. The similar dispute with NBC/Universal earlier this year got renewed at the eleventh hour. I guess Disney wanted to see if they would blink and they didn't. This is the slow point in the season so I can live without the ESPNs for the moment, aside from...

    Yeah, shortly after I noticed and posted about it, someone was able to fix it.
  5. Internet Streaming Services
    Holy crap! I love that the forum is censoring the name of NBC/Universal's streaming service!

    Way too many! Youtube TV HBO MAX Amazon Prime Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ Bundle AMC+ Peacock+ Netflix Apple TV+ Full disclosure on the above... the Disney bundle I get "free" via Verizon. Same for AMC+. AMC+ I am full well dropping after the 1 year free offer... but the Disney bundle is with me free...

    Streaming was always going to end up at the same place here... Either individual services charging whatever they want and if you want them you have to pay OR streaming versions of the cable/satellite services that offer combinations of more options that then will have the same carriage...

    Even if you find it annoying as a consumer, it isn't a thing you should want the government to mandate. Governments can unite around one system of measure... they don't need to try and dictate what private companies do. There's no reason why every company couldn't have their own proprietary...

    People talking about bitrates... I have seen bitrates as high as 70Mbps on my YouTube TV feed with the Nerd-stats enabled. That surprised me. I didn't think anything approached that on streaming, certainly not for HD... I haven't heard people mention that even for 4K streaming. I'll add, that...

    I'm not too bothered by the loss of the "FOX" RSNs... I actually wonder why they are still called "FOX" when they are no longer owned and operated by FOX... but that aside... I'm in NC, so ACC country. I really only care about college football and basketball and then I watch the NBA and NFL for...

    Yeah, the trick to Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals is... sometimes they do come out with special models of the bigger appliances, like TVs... and sometimes those models are more cheaply made than their regular counterparts... so you might save money but you might sacrifice a lot of quality...

    I would also add that IF CBS All Access was hinging upon the success of Star Trek... even if Star Trek was awesome... the numbers they got in the beginning before people had watched much of their first new show, was not the kind of numbers they would need to sustain a streaming service longterm...
  13. Internet Streaming Services
    Yeah, depending on how things time out I might very well still be looking/shopping by Thanksgiving... and if I get close, I'll probably wait to see. It's also possible I might find a good enough deal in the next month that I'd be happy with and jump on that. I have no real solid plans and am...

    I read elsewhere today that unfortunately, not so long ago a bunch of Paramount content was sold to NBC/Universal and is now on their Peacock channel... so, this Paramount+ on some level is kind of going to be Paramount- as a result of not having the foresight to keep some of that content for...
  15. Internet Streaming Services
    I'm still shopping around... seeing what goes on and off sale. I'm not rushing to buy a TV until I get a good handle on things. I'm basically trying to not pay a lot for the muffler, so to speak, and since I'm looking for what might some day become my good second TV whenever I can afford a...
  16. Internet Streaming Services
    Thanks! Yeah, I've found a lot of good free services and services that have a lot of free content even if they also have a paid tier. Basically I had a few years where I kind of couldn't afford anything really, and dropped completely out of all the paid TV stuff... now I'm starting to dip my...

    I happen to like football and basketball. They aren't end-all be-all for me, but I like them... and the thing is, if you are anywhere from a sorta sports fan to an uberfan... there really is no substitute for live sports. I mean, you can record or pause it to skip commercials... but you need to...

    About the only real gripe I have at the moment is... viewing on my computer... when I go from watching Live TV to wanting to scroll through the EPG, intermittently the mouse cursor changes focus from the EPG to the volume control... and instead of scrolling channels with my mouse I'm lowering...
  19. Internet Streaming Services
    True... or I could also spring for Disney+ and still spend less than that $10. Mind you, I'm not mocking the package for people who watch other sports covered by channels within it... but literally RedZone would be the only thing in there of interest to me and if I mostly watch the games I can...
  20. Internet Streaming Services
    I just signed up for YouTube TV right as this was all happening... like that NFL Network is in the main package... don't like that RedZone isn't... didn't see anything else in that add-on tier that interested me, so for now I'm fine not having RedZone.
