Just a silly joke I was trying to make. That being said Maslo's hierarchy of needs is one of those ideas I believe people should be exposed to.(Don't have to agree with them but know what they are). Similar would be 5 stages of Grief.Otherwise how would we get the joke about the river in Egypt?

As a long time Radio Shack store manager I really empathize with you installers .When I began one of the things we were trained on was additional add on sales.Some suggested add ons were easy "here's some batteries for your portable tape recorder along with some blank tapes" then "that tape...

Yeah that $30 Xfinity deal with no eligibility requirements,no contract and modem/router included(normally $15) is pretty attractive.I'm guessing it's partially a response to T Mobile.

Similar aged MIL also has no problem with YTTV and really likes the price compared to Xfinity's live tv pricing. She also qualified for the ACP for her internet.With that subsidy ending we found Xfinity offered internet for only $10/month (including modem/router).Granted it's only 50 mbps but...

That did the trick-thanks Although I'm sorry to report I don't see ANY ads.

No matter where I go on the forum I get this screen nag.As you can see by attached photo I have deleted my adblocker and I am logged in. Also I am NOT seeing any ads. I'm wondering if there is a privacy browser setting for this or not. I'm having this issue on more and more...

It's a very old forum joke.Some people want a light on the front of the Hopper to come on when it's recording.I was jokingly propositioning it come on when using the backup internet.I'm sure we can come up with so many uses the little red light would be on constantly.I'll add IVOD to the list.

So just watching channel 152(MLB) when storm passed through.Lost signal and got familiar signal loss screen.After about 3 seconds the screen said"Live TV". and game was back. I have no idea if I am watching internet or satellite-there should be a little red light on the front of the Hopper!

I once had a Hari krishna tell me their book of illustrations(beautiful for sure) was free but there was a required donation of at least $25.I passed.

Read?Book? Like seriously who does that anymore? (To be clear I'm only half serous).

Too bad.I guess they figure everyone has a smart phone and too bad if you don't. It's the way of the world.Not a deal breaker for her-I'm just trying to help her out.

TCL 43S325 43 Inch 1080p Smart LED Roku TV (2019)

85 year old MIL has YTTV but does not have a cell phone or a tablet.Checks her email on a laptop about once a week. Dish has a nice technology that tells you when a game involving your favorite team is about to begin and offers to take you to that game . Researching it appears that choosing a...

Just curious-did at any time did anyone tell you or did you ever read that return of the LNB was mandatory? Or were you an informed consumer(by hanging out here of course) and knew you could ignore any such instructions? :)
