    TV streaming box - best ones?

    I've had an Nvidia Shield Pro since it launched in 2019 and it's hands down the best streaming device I've ever owned. Still as fast and snappy today as it was when it was new.

    Question about the Zapperbox

    I think I'm going to reset the box to factory settings when I get home. It is connected to the internet but it keeps telling me it's not when I check for an update.

    Question about the Zapperbox

    I'm at work right now so I can't check. My Zapperbox is connected to the internet though and I thought that would decode the DRM.

    Question about the Zapperbox

    Just bought a Zapperbox M2 to try it out and it does give me a few more channels than my Mediasonic Homeworx tuner. My question is that the ATSC 3.0 channels have a blue key next to them and only show a black screen when I tune to them. Is that the DRM encryption? I thought the Zapperbox would...

    RIP DSL Reports

    It appears to be read only except for 5 minutes after every hour. I'm guessing the site is on its last legs. Many users have moved over to broadbandbulletin.com.

    RIP DSL Reports

    Was my go to site going back to the dial up days. You'll be missed. https://www.dslreports.com/comment/2170/20408

    YoutubeTV 2025 price increase

    Ridiculous. YTTV is now more than double the price from when it first launched. No wonder so many people have decided to say the hell with it and sail the high seas instead.

    Charter claims they are going to provide better pricing

    I got to enjoy Spectrum Fiber for about a year before Hurricane Helene destroyed the entire infrastructure in my area of Western NC. I've been out since 9/27 and they have no time frame as to when service will be restored. Good thing I kept my Starlink!

    Dish Price Increases (2024-25)

    Good luck with that. The Tablo 4th generation is total garbage. I've tried 2 of them and they both lasted about a week before they stopped connecting to my network. I kept having to reset them to factory settings. Both went back for a refund.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    I turned it off and reactivate my Starlink service as needed. My area is no longer at capacity since fiber came last year.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Starlink is very reliable. I've had it since beta and kept it as a backup even though I now have fiber. So far my fiber has had more outages in a year than I had with Starlink in 3 and a half years.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Amazon will probably never be a viable competitor to Starlink. Project Kuiper has only launched 2 prototype satellites and those have already been decommissioned. The only way they're going to be able to start doing regular launches is with SpaceX rockets and Bezos isn't about to ask Elon for help.

    Republic Wireless shutting down as Dish moves customers over to Boost Infinite

    Many people prefer Verizon due to their coverage. In my area T-Mobile is non-existent outside cities and towns. ATT just recently improved their coverage in these parts within the last year or so. Around here Verizon is king.

    Republic Wireless shutting down as Dish moves customers over to Boost Infinite

    ATT service with US Mobile is still in early access.

    The Acolyte - Disney+

    Nah. Star Trek TNG was quite progressive but it was done the right way with excellent writing and storylines. The Acolyte is neither.

    The Acolyte - Disney+

    Critics eat up anything that's woke.

    The Acolyte - Disney+

    I've seen the first 3 episodes and they are absolute garbage. Terrible writing and terrible character development. Andor and the first 2 seasons of The Mandalorian are the only live action Star Wars shows that are worth a damn.

    Dish Letter for outdated equipment

    Good luck powering jet planes and tankers on electricity. The oil industry isn't going anywhere.

    Dish Letter for outdated equipment

    Unless it came in an official envelope from Dish I would discard it and ignore it.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Maybe it is stereotypical, but there's also quite a bit of truth to it. I have 2 neighbors in their 80's who still pay all their bills via snail mail. They refuse to do anything online or by automatic draft.

    Comet is my last remaining good channel for movies.

    Tubi also has a ton of free movies, TV shows, concerts and documentaries. Ad supported of course, but completely free.

    Received email from Netflix about household sharing

    Nah. There are plenty of other ways to watch what I want.

    Received email from Netflix about household sharing

    LOL. I haven't had a Netflix account since the days of DVD by mail. Rent, Rip, Return.
