    Over the Summer CW had some re-organization especially with Tribune, for instance WGN on Channel 9 in Chicago have lost the CW and it's now on Fox 50 which used to be the UPN channel. Looks like a similar thing has happened in Green Bay, CW has moved to channels and is now on one that serves the UP

    Discovery have signed a "long term agreement" with DirecTV for a place in the company's DirecTV Now product that launches later this year http://deadline.com/2016/09/discovery-secures-place-directv-now-carriage-deal-att-1201815198/

    Though these days they have a variation called 20/20 it's a much more intense game, though to the purists it's an abomination :grin:

    Probably more than a high-rated channel, they both take up the same space but Direct want a high rated channel on their roster more than a low rated channel

    It seems that we're finally going to get to see the World's Biggest Music Contest live this year as the EBU have announced that Logo will be broadcasting the show live. As the show is coming from Sweden this year that means it'll be on Saturday Afternoon of May 14...

    I phoned to cancel Showtime saying I could get a better deal with Amazon and DTV dropped my price. I guess I should investigate the options for HBO Now

    I guess all the fuss over the PAC-12 testing and then its subsequent non appearance caused Management to decree that future test channel names should be non-identifiable

    The Tribune/DirectTV fight was so much about Truibune but the creditors who thought DTV would help them recover some money from Tribune's Chapter 11 I had some friends who were working for Tribune at the time and were just so annoyed by the attitude of the Creditors

    Seems that AlJazeera and DTV have settled their differences http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/directv-al-jazeera-settle-75-820396

    THR have a story on the DTV/Al Jazeera dispute, seems that AJ did offer Direct TV a Most Favoured Nation option that DTV ignored and now DTV aren't paying their fees for the channel, but at least it's still on the air http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/al-jazeera-says-hasnt-gotten-813130

    Though shows in the 60's were produiced on film and can thus be remastered to HD, unfortuantely a lot of 80's shows were recorded on Video-Tape and though broadcast quality at the time don't transfer well to HD

    I don't think you'd need to transfer the file to the 2nd machine, just put something in the file to say at the end of this file go to Machine #3 to complete showing this file. Transfering the 1st part of the show to a 2nd machine would be problematic as what would happen in the 3rd machine had...

    Well it's BBC World News America, and that launched in 2007 so only 8 years :)

    I dropped Premiums in favor of a PPV or two per month + Netflix , PPV is pretty much the same date as they come out on DVD so I save the cost of films I probably would have only watched once anyway

    You should be able to ban them at the MAC level, specify which Machine Addresses aren't permitted access to the router

    Now we have BBC World on the verge of arriving, I would now like "France 24" and "Euronews" and just for a laugh "Russia Today" all of which I can get via the web but being a channel on the satellite would be so much easier

    I think your best bet would be to switch on usage monitoring on the router itself, let it run for a few days and you should start to see which destinations are consuming your traffic http://smallbusiness.chron.com/monitor-bandwidth-usage-wireless-router-58340.html Though I hate to be an...

    That's only Value Added Tax, akin to our Sales Tax except that VAT is applied to what are regarded as luxuries and so you have multiple tax rates (for example in the UK Cakes are regarded as a Luxury and have VAT, Biscuits/Cookies aren't a Luxury The main reason why many channels over here...

    I took a look :) I was soon thinking, well I'd wish you'd all bugger off to Dish then :) though it doesnae appear to be cut and paste jobs, "someones" been feeding stories of ALJE being a "terrorist" network and DTV preferring to broadcast anti-American channels instead of good-old patriotic...
