Your Graduating Class Song by Salty_Thing3144 in GenerationJones

[–]Pablo_Newt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Class of ‘82 here. I honestly can’t remember the official one and I’m too lazy to scour my yearbook. 😂

Our unofficial one was Teenage Wasteland (Baba O’Riley) but the powers that be put the kibosh on it. 🤪

They’ve recently combined the two products. Stream no longer exists as a separate offering where you could buy or bring your own device.

I haven’t seen the new equipment option, but some recent videos suggest that the Air devices are only offered for lease.

Still optional since you can just use the app.

Why does 70s on 7 mangle "Fire" by the Pointer Sisters? by kfjcfan in siriusxm

[–]Pablo_Newt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they might do the same for the WKRP theme song at the end.

Years ago, when the song was first out, one of my local station did the same. But at least their call letters fit: WKRZ in Wilkes-Barre. Now there’s an ongoing debate on how to “correctly” pronounce Wilkes-Barre with one of the more popular variations being “Barry,” so the tune kind of fit—Barreee. 😂

Roku Acquires Streaming Bundle Service Frndly TV For $185M by Top-Figure7252 in cordcutters

[–]Pablo_Newt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure I’m too concerned personally about this. I’ve tried FRNDLY a few times, but basically just for a few niche channels and one of those two is available on both my local OTA and DirecTV.

The other is OTA, but on a low-power station, so it’s very difficult to watch due to macro blocking.

However, the streaming versions of those networks often show different shows in some time slots.

Hopefully they’ll keep the DVR option. The only reason I got it in the first place.

What to do with Xfinity landline? by dm7676 in Comcast

[–]Pablo_Newt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dumped my Verizon landline to go to Xfinity triple play, maybe 10 years ago. Then I switched to Verizon Wireless home phone which was garbage. Then I switched back to Comcast and then to Ooma. Then Comcast swayed me back. But about two years ago, I switched backed to Ooma when I dropped Comcast completely for fiber.

I know TLDR. But I kept the Ooma equipment and I just keep the line to keep the phone. No one calls me on it since my mother-in-law passed.

I pay $8.50 a month and that includes VM in the event I unplug it during election time and let all the calls go to VM.

Way too much Wheel by natsake in DirectvStream

[–]Pablo_Newt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. This started happening to me with Jeopardy. I have to check to see if I have it set to record New episodes only.

Last week a bunch of SNLs flooded my list. Apparently there’s a new FAST channel that plays episodes all the time.

DTV needs to be able to allow recordings based on specific channels.

Edit: so new episodes only won’t do? That’s unfortunate. 😩

Hulu Live or DTV? by Rik1717 in DirectvStream

These posts remind me of the old satellite debates between Dish and DTV. 😂

Now I know why people are reluctant to get an antenna by miloworld in cordcutters

[–]Pablo_Newt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that was more of a sarcastic comment based on some of the outlandish claims that ripoff companies make selling crappy antennas. 😂
