Hopefully they grasp that YTTV straw then. Fuck Sinclair.
Who knew not allowing any providers to show your channels would lead to no revenue?
Good. Burn.
I'm not cutting the cord but want to get my own router for Spectrum. My wife just upgraded us to Spectrum Internet Ultra. It looks like and extra $20 per month to get "up to" 500 mbps. We have an upper floor and finished basement with spotty coverage (router on main floor) so I want to get a Mesh system (currently looking at the TP-Link Deco AX3000). If I do this my question is this: Is the 500 mbps coming from the street to my modem or is the router generating that speed? If I swap out the Spectrum Wifi router with a new one does my speed bump down too? I'd like to keep the new router below $200.
Yes, I'm old.
Appreciate any feedback or suggestions.
Speed is set on the modem. As long as the router you plug into the modem can handle the max speed it doesn't matter where you get it.I'm not cutting the cord but want to get my own router for Spectrum.

Typically, one of them is a little different and serves as the router. This set looks like 3 identical satellites and one auto-detects that it's plugged into the WAN uplink and acts as the router.So using this: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tp-lin...bAg1ANLoc6NcsIRQh9xoCeVkQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
I'll still need a router? Does the mesh system take the place of my existing router or is it in addition to my existing router?
I think your right this video shows just plugging into the modem.Typically, one of them is a little different and serves as the router. This set looks like 3 identical satellites and one auto-detects that it's plugged into the WAN uplink and acts as the router.
The Pac-12 is nearing dire straits right now. There’s no other way to put it. The New York Post’s report Tuesday that Apple TV+ is a potential landing spot for Pac-12 sports landed like a lead balloon among fans, and for understandable reasons.
It doesn’t mean the league is about to fall apart or that it can’t still secure a good enough TV deal for the short-term future. It will probably be OK. But the Pac-12 may be the canary in the coal mine for college conferences outside what is becoming the Power 2 of the Big Ten and SEC.
Streaming won’t be the answer to saving college football as we know it. We know this because streaming isn’t saving TV.
If you’re not the NFL, Big Ten, SEC, NBA, CFP, World Series or the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, your negotiating leverage may begin to fade as the biggest leagues take up more.
And that’s the dirty not-so-secret about streaming: It’s not actually working. The boom is over.
Disney’s direct-to-consumer business — which includes Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu — lost more than $4 billion in 2022. The financial losses continue to climb even as subscribers grow. It’s a big reason Disney stock is down 31 percent over the past year. NBCUniversal’s Peacock lost around $2.5 billion for the year, and CBS’ Paramount Plus also lost around $1.8 billion. These companies planned to lose lots of money and aimed for profitability by 2024 or 2025, but there is little sign of that yet. Dramatic cuts have come across the board.
Fox’s decision not to jump into the standalone streaming game and instead focus on the biggest live sports like the NFL, college football and the World Cup, has proven to be a more successful strategy thus far. It has increased its market share in college football, and despite the loss of cable subscribers, this year’s Super Bowl on Fox was the third-most-watched game ever and the highest in six years. As Fox Sports CEO Eric Shanks put it on a Sports Business Journal podcast, speeding up into streaming also speeds up the decline of linear TV, your actual money-maker.
While more games than ever are available to watch — a certain positive for fans — all of this doesn’t even touch on how cumbersome it is to watch live sports on streaming. Broadcast delays lag behind social media and betting sites. Some can’t pause or rewind. Switching between games can be a hassle and an even more frustrating process if you have to switch to another app.
On a busy college football Saturday, will casual fans who use one screen flip back and forth to Prime Video or Apple TV+ for one Pac-12 game if their favorite team isn’t involved? If conferences move into different streaming apps, the sport will be even more fractured.
“No one streaming sports service can fulfill what a sports fan needs,” Shanks said.
The Pac-12 may still come out of this OK. It might sign a good enough deal with ESPN and a streamer and provide schools with money similar to the Big 12. Linear TV for sports is still in a good place. But the next round of college media deals in six or seven years is the moment when industry leaders believe major change will truly come. I dread the future of conference realignment, but if you’re not in the Power 2, it’s impossible to predict where you’ll be as the top conferences take an even larger market share.
Fwd: help.roku.comIs the Roku remote ever gonna get the switch back and forth button or are they just gonna ignore this forever?
