When I was growing up in the Philadelphia area in the early 1980s, we were able to pick up what was then known as WNBC 660 AM from New York with a standard antenna as well as WABC-TV 7 from New York, albeit a bit fuzzy, also with just a regukar pair of rabbit ears.

I don’t recall, but I ended up just creating a new gmail.

I use GoDaddy for domain registration and Deluxe for web and email hosting.

I have had my business email addresses denied by both Apple and Sony Rewards multiple times, as recently as two months ago by Apple.

No sooner than I posted the above statement, Vudu has corrected The Tin Star so that it can be purchased once again in HDX, but for a higher price of $12.99 (apparently the $5 sale price only applies to SD).

Something very odd is going on with older Paramount films on Vudu. Movies like Tin Star and Hannie Caulder were once available for purchase in HDX, but are now only available on Vudu in SD. Even more strange, Tin Star shows as available in HDX, but according to one of the mods on Vudu Forums who...

Agreed, although I have run into situations where my personal domain was not accepted for a personal account with Apple or Sony Rewards, for example.

Our Ace Hardware store has had issues with AT&T over the years, but I think the straw that broke the camel's back occurred last November when their service went out at the store for several hours, basically shutting down all internet orders, phone orders, and credit card transactions. When I...

When we first moved to our current home in 2015, AT&T had the fastest internet (18 Mbps down, 1.5 Mbps up) and Spectrum had not begun offering anything other than TV service. Three years later, Spectrum began offering additional services, but we decided to give them some time and to hear what...

I get fliers all the time from Choice Wireless, HughesNet, and one or two others whose names escape me at the moment, all offering slower speeds at higher prices. Strangely, whenever someone asks on one of our community's Facebook pages who has the best internet, there are customers who either...

Spectrum may be pretty close it it already. They have already begun the process of phasing out cable boxes and providing Comcast's XUMO steaming devices instead to its internet/TV bundle customers.

In my area, Spectrum has been advertising symmetrical internet (where the upload and download speeds are nearly identical), but are only offering it to new customers. Worse, they are even getting a lower price for that service, even AFTER their promo ends. I found that rather irritating...

I plan on doing an episode of my video podcast Streaming News and Views that goes into this more in-depth, but what the companies are discovering is that the cost of running these services and producing original content is just not sustainable on subscription fees alone (duh!). What they are...

I had contacted Amazon regarding this, and after several hours of their laughable and so-called tech support (nearly every agent wanted me to go into the Audio settings on my FireStick to change the Dolby settings even when I reminded them that this was a video issue and NOT audio), I gave up...

Curious how you were able to redeem at Google, since Sony only allows MA redemptions at Movies Anywhere or Vudu.

Today, I dropped the first two episodes on my new YouTube channel, Streaming News and Views! This is a new video podcast series of my own creation, not affiliated with Home Theater Forum, but the owners have graciously given me permission to promote the show on their site (Thanks, Jonathan and...

What it sounds like to me is that the node Comcast has you on can't handle the influx of internet traffic during Thursday Night Football, since this seems to only occur during the streaming broadcast. You may want to ask your neighbors if they are experiencing the same issue, and then band...

Like I said, it took me about 15 minutes the other night, and both had longer than usual on-hold times. All I did was ask how I can get the Duo Premium bundle, they told me that both accounts needed to be completely cancelled (or turned off, basically), which the agents did rather quickly once I...

Switching to the Duo Premium bundle took about 15 minutes including on-hold time. I had D+ support on the phone and Hulu support on chat at the same time.

They are reportedly beta testing that next month. https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/disney-hulu-merged-app-launch-december-1235784927/

It can be done over chat as well.

I was able to sign up with no problem once I called in to both services and had them cancel my subscriptions. They even walked me through the sign up process once the final cancellation was processed on their end.

I’ll be switching to the Disney+/Hulu Premium bundle next month (there are a lot of movies we would watch on Hulu but don’t care for the ad breaks). Once I see an announcement that my monthly Netflix bill will be increasing, I’ll probably drop that down to the next lower plan, which is included...

That is nearly twice what our last annual renewal price was ($79.99), and I think later in November it actually goes up to $199.99.

I have come to the conclusion that it’s just not worth complaining about aspect ratios when it comes to subscription services like Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, Prime Video, etc. They quite often never get fixed, mostly because the content was part of a package the service purchased from a studio, and...

Amazon Executive Customer Relations has been keeping me in the loop on this, and Amazon developers are trying to fix it on their backend, but it may take more time. Apparently, when Disney sent them the version with the Family Audio track, someone changed the Movies Anywhere mapping from the...

If you have Avatar: The Way of Water on digital, double check what version you now have on Prime Video. Back when I reviewed the digital release, I was given the theatrical cut in UHD across all Movies Anywhere retailers. Last week, I noticed that this movie reappeared at the top of my "Watch...

For the most part, I use Roku devices when streaming at home and when I am travelling, and generally don't have any issues once they are set up. The apps can be sorted into any order you like, and that is true with other devices as well. True, some apps are better at sorting content than...

Pluto and Tubi could be having issues loading locally targeted ads for your area.

I have received codes that came back as invalid when trying to redeem back when UV was still around. After contacting the studio, I was informed that the code was for Canadian customers and therefore invalid in the US. After some convincing, the studio provided me with a new code that was...
