    Earthcam app on Firestick?

    Could someone with a Firestick verify that the Earthcam app works and plays video? I don't currently have one. Sure wish they wouldn't have yanked the app off Roku.

    Questions about the PBS mux on 99 KU

    Just curious who this mux is intended for. I know PBS feeds the News Hour nightly to affiliates on HD03, but who or what are the "national" East and West feeds for? Are there markets in the US without a locally produced PBS station that air the national feeds? Or are they just there for the...

    Super Bowl OTA vs Tubi streaming

    Been watching via Tubi on both my 55" Insignia 1080p TV and my 42" 4K LG set. Each is drawing about 13mbps. The LG is displaying the HDR flag, but I honestly think the picture looks better on the Insignia. Fox is upconverting 1080p60 HDR for fake 4K on streaming services. The Tubi feed does...

    T‑Mobile Opens Registration for Direct‑to‑Cell Satellite Service Beta Test with Starlink

    I enrolled today using my T-Mobile $10/mo prepaid plan. Coming on the heels of FCC approval, T-Mobile has opened registration for a beta program for T-Mobile Starlink, a direct-to-cell satellite service that will help eliminate dead zones by providing coverage for the 500,000 square miles of...

    PBS app video quality vs satellite

    I've noticed the video quality on the PBS World feed is much better in their app than the satellite feed on 99 KU. There's also a 24/7 NHK World feed in the app. I guess they don't source their app feed from satellite (I always assumed they did)

    Update: FCC wants unlocked phone rules to change, but AT&T and T-Mobile have other ideas

    Unlocked phones are bad, according to carriers https://www.tomsguide.com/phones/fcc-wants-unlocked-phone-rules-to-change-but-at-and-t-and-t-mobile-have-other-ideas Postpaid Carriers (except Verizon) REALLY hate unlocking phones

    No 5.1 surround on NFL game on Paramount+

    I have my Roku set to pasthrough audio to my AVR. Other shows on P+ have DD 5.1, but the KC @ BUF game shows only stereo. I switched it over to my local OTA feed on KCTV and it works perfectly. I was hoping to compare both side-by-side, but today P+ fails compared to OTA.

    Mike Tyson fight on Netflix

    I've been watching for about 45 minutes. They seem to be having capacity issues. I'm getting blurry picture and poor quality, just now the picture froze completely. I know this is their first live boxing event, but I don't think they were prepared for the number of viewers.

    New DISH user in my 4-plex. A quick story

    For the first time in years, a new resident in my building scheduled a Dish install. I just happened to be there yesterday when the tech showed up. I didn't realize they work on Sunday afternoons. Anyways, luckily for him I never removed the old 1000.1 EA dish from the roof. I almost took it...

    Total Wireless by Verizon $25 unlimited plan

    I switched to this plan 10 days ago. It has unlimited premium data on Verizon's network which can't be de-prioritized. Also comes with hotspot and 6 months of Disney+ So far, I think it's better (and cheaper) than Visible+ (also wholly owned by Verizon)

    Philo "strech-o-vision" issue

    Have any Philo users noticed that the service stretches older 4:3 content to fit 16:9? For instance, older programs on the Military History Channel. When the program starts to play, the aspect ratio is correct, but then it stretches out to 16:9. Drives me nuts.

    Live bandscan

    I am interested in starting up my live bandscan for Rabbitears again, but the script requires an "always on PC." Currently the only PC I own is my laptop, and it goes to work with me almost every day. Does anyone know of another solution? Like perhaps a mini PC or something else that is capable...

    MST3K Roku app

    Discovered this today. It has all 10 original seasons (1989-1999) and they appear to be commercial free. The ones on Pluto have a lot of repetitive commercials. Enjoy! https://channelstore.roku.com/details/81eaa7ec7f6e956ddb4f8b199ba9b7a6/mystery-science-theater-3000
