    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 16

    Did you also let him know about getting another 3% off by extending the payments monthly for 2 years through Apple Pay? I buy all my Apple products now through Apple Pay because it's like Apple pays me 3% to do that and no finance charges on Apple product purchases. Not only that but I can...

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 16

    No comment on any political stuff. But, I do agree that many Apple customers are able to currently afford their products because they like the way they just work and the fact that many easily operate within an infrastructure. So if an Apple product is "overpriced" that is more likely an...

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 16

    This is what I heard earlier this year but I have not looked into it further. Apple is not only a number of products I use but also my second largest stock holding and I do see people more and more not happy with how much Apple charges for their most profitable products, such as the iphone and...

    Hopper 382

    THANK YOU for posting this - all this new "feature" does for me is bog down my (already slow) HWS's & has NO value whatsoever for me. Matter of fact when I was doing PIP & doing trick play between tuners, it ended up erroring out & locked the damn screen up! Once I switched it back to classic...

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 16

    My one Brother-in-Law had a iPhone 13 with a battery bordering on 80% of original capacity so he asked me if he should go to Batteries Plus to get it replaced (he had a $30 off coupon). I mentioned that battery replacement on the iPhone 13 is through the display panel which requires destroying...

    Last & Next Movie Watched

    “Wolfs” on AppleTV+ - it was Dinner and a Movie night, and I picked this to watch. We both enjoyed this action-comedy. Next up: “Inside Out 2”

    Dish /Direct Merger Hits A Roadblock

    A typo on my part. I looked at TPG and Echostar was not listed as one of their holdings/investments. Direct TV was listed.

    Dish /Direct Merger Hits A Roadblock

    This is a pretty good article that bottom lines this transaction. https://www.axios.com/2024/10/03/directv-dish-bonds

    Satellite Meters

    We think alike. I am not inclined to spend much for a meter since, as a hobbyist, it's hard to justify its occasional use. The V8 Finder 2 seems to do what is necessary. The other reason I need it is I don't have a TV anymore! My old analog TV blew up a couple of weeks ago. So I'm temporarily...

    Paramount +

    I now think it depends on the device. I get Chicago on my Roku, since there's no way for P+ to use GPS there, only IP. But on my phone, I get Kansas City, since the P+ iPhone app can locate me via true GPS.

    Dish /Direct Merger Hits A Roadblock

    TPG isn't buying Echostar; just the DISH and Sling TV portions. It isn't clear who will own the satellite fleet.

    Paramount +

    So, I just changed my router (went from pfsense to opnsense in the process). I went from getting Wichita local CBS station in Paramount+ to getting the Raleigh, NC local station. I checked my old IP in several online geolocation databases, and discovered it was not in several of them, while...

    Satellite Meters

    I bought one of the cheaper ones recently V8 Finder 2. It's definitely not as functional as one of those ridiculously expensive meters that gives you all the db levels or whatever and it's not smart enough to figure out which satellite you're pointed at. But it does what I need which is keeping...

    DTV and Dish Network Discuss Merger Talks Again

    It could go to 72.7W where Nimiq 5 is currently stationed. Nimiq 5 was launched a little over 15 years ago.

    Satellite Meters

    I have never used a satellite meter. I've always been able to use the wifi capability of my Edision receiver to see at the dish via my smartphone actual received SQ or similar techniques. But I find now I may need a satellite meter in my current environment. I have access to amazon.co.jp which...

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 16

    It is important to note that these "threats" may only be realized if DJT wins the presidential election. Any country outside the United States and its possessions could be subject to trade tariffs. Apple stuff has always been overpriced (other than the headphone adapter dongle and maybe...
