    Oh, and I believe streaming costs in general will continue to increase and will start going up even more over the next five years. At some point sat and cable and streaming will cost the same for the same offerings. The issue is can they solve the problem with people turning streaming on and off...

    FOX? How’s that? Because they have the same situation just less big contracts. I tracts come and go. Rumor has it they will be in on the next NBA deal…. Neither has RSNs, both have multiple national sports channels and share with their local over the air networks on FOX. FOX has less...

    Except that’s not even true for the vast majority of people in each market. Very few people have over the air roof antennas anymore. They get their tv via a provider who is paying millions for the right to carry the ‘free’ channels….

    I’ve had Iona for years. It’s excellent. The tax is all there is for basic stuff. They have the premier plan if you want more. As for robo calls I’ve found the best solution. Panasonic cordless phones at Costco (elsewhere to I’m sure) have a feature that forces the caller to press a number...

    They can swap the lnb as well if they only have h25s which is possible. They are offering the swap free of charge correct?
  6. DIRECTV Programming
    DIRECTV delivers ALL 4K content via satelites. Even the on demand stuff. None of it comes via internet real time unless something has changed. That I believe is why they do not offer it to their streaming platform. I don’t know if any streamer offering 4K. (DIRECTV type streamer not HBO type etc.

    What market are you in? These games on those channels are only available to the people who get the RSN that’s showing the games, and it’s generally the home team. So the Denver game is only available to people in Denver’s market. Lakers only to. Los Angeles market. Not sure if they open them...

    ESPN+ doesn’t offer anything that the rsns do in the way of pro sports. It’s totally different. I could not care less about espn plus but my local sports teams is important. Luckily the two most important are on spectrum not Bally…. I could see espn and Bally sports channels being spun off...
  9. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Try everything you can but be prepared for it to fully die if you are having issues already. You might want to see if you can find those things on tv again and record them on another unit.
  10. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Why do you insist on non remote units? Do you have that much to record? Are some of these on TVs that are only used once in a blue moon? My reason for asking this is if you have an appletv box or some a couple other streaming boxes you can log into your satelite DIRECTV account on the DIRECTV...

    My guess DIRECTV gets the commercial licenses they have now.

    If the subscribers between HBO max and discovery plus really are completely separate groups, they wouldn’t need to change the price of max to make up for lost subscribers in general. They’d get more money automatically just by the increase in what d+ subs would be paying. I think the key to...

    Is that why they spread their games out over five networks (Amazon counts as one now)? The nfl is not like other sports. Or anything else at all. They won’t lose bargaining power because they would set the price if multiple companies where to carry it and if they can’t get that price then they’d...

    Since the nfl gets their tv money even if no Jen watches I actually don’t think they will notice or care at all if they lose you as a subscriber to sunday ticket. They get paid either way.
  15. DIRECTV Programming
    They are getting 110 billion from five companies over 10 years.. and 10 is Amazon paying for just one game a week. I don’t think they care as much about exclusive as dollars… I’m sure they have to protect their tv partners too… be interesting to see the contract…. But I can easily see whoever...
  16. Internet Streaming Services
    If he was smart.. he’d roll everything into the HBO max app, and make the price the current HBO max price and that’s it. I’m not convinced what he is planning won’t be to do just that. Create an entirely new app that has discovery and HBO sections similar to how the max app has the dc sections...
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Any channel that can’t get more than one company to carry it is not a channel worth carrying and will die eventually. Just look at all the channels that disappeared because they couldn’t gain coverage. Heck look at Pac-12. It’s a dead duck as is! Only reason it’s still there is because the...

    Just realize hr54 is one 4K program at a time, hs17 is 2. It’s against the rules but it’s possible to swap the internal for a larger one..

    Turner networks are becoming like espn as well. They have hockey, baseball and basketball and ncaa basketball. Wait till they get their hands on college football playoffs…. And I wouldn’t count them out in a few years when nfl goes to bid again. Everyone thinks it’s all streaming…. (Don’t forget...

    The problem is it doesn’t include things like espn and tnt and such. So it’s not like you can get just this and Netflix and HBO max and be happy. You’d still need a service that provides the National televised games. That’s the big problem with streaming. It’s a non starter for me, Lakers and...
