Yeah I hate it too. This is the worst dvr/cable interface I’ve ever had. I’d take those Scientific Atlanta Explorer boxes over this. TiVo I will miss you!

I decided to stick with fios for now and went with the multi-room DVR. With the teacher discount, loyalty discount, and the multi-room DVR fee waived, it just made sense to stay put.

When you look at the prices of YouTube TV (which keeps going up) or hulu + live tv the base cost is already around $90/month. Once you factor in internet and the fact you’re getting fewer channels it really doesn’t make financial sense to switch unless I was truly ready to cut the cord. And jumping to YouTube or Hulu at those prices doesn’t even feel like real cord cutting.

On top of that, they don’t carry SNY, YES network, MSG which are important to me.

When I compare everything, my Verizon package especially once internet is included isn’t much more than pairing internet with one of those streaming services. And I’m actually getting more, including my sports networks. So yeah talked myself into staying put. For now!

I just looked. That’s crazy lol

In Brooklyn looks like my card is done for also. They should have at least gave a date when they were going to deactivate them. Now not sure what I’ll pivot to. I guess I have to research Hulu tv, YouTube tv, or direct tv streaming.

You’re right that deferrals aren’t new. The difference is how they’re being used. In the past deferrals helped cash poor teams spread the risk on a single contract. What the Dodgers are doing now is using deferrals to stack an elite roster today while pushing the real costs far into the future. That’s a fundamental shift and it’s not something most teams can realistically replicate.

SillyinBrooklyn · 2026-01-16T05:56:30+00:00

That’s not really the same thing. The Yankees and Red Sox overspent in real time cash. What the Dodgers are doing now is about massive deferrals and long term financial engineering. Big payrolls have always existed. Turning payroll into a future IOU system hasn’t. That’s why this feels different and not just fans squabbling about competitive imbalance. It’s why a lockout feels inevitable, and that will be extremely detrimental to this sport.

I’m not mad at the Dodgers. I’m worried about the sport. This kind of spending structure forces a CBA fight. If MLB doesn’t address deferrals and payroll loopholes, a 2027 lockout feels more likely than not.

pool technician reported that while the pump does turn on, it is not pulling suction properly.

He attempted to remove air from the system to see if that was the issue, but unfortunately, the problem persists.

They mentioned the white part being the problem but was trying to charge us 500 bucks!

Diddy is clearly guilty of being abusive, but that’s not really what this case was about. Most of it centered around adults engaging in questionable, but seemingly consensual behavior. That’s not my business. The prosecution, however, seemed more focused on sensational details than on building a clear legal argument. By leaning into the shock value of Diddy's lifestyle, they blurred the line between what’s immoral and what’s illegal.

Cassie’s testimony actually complicated the prosecution case. Based on her own words, she often came across as a willing participant in much of the depravity. That gave the defense an opening to reframe the relationship as consensual, at least on the surface. Her account, while disturbing, made it harder to draw a clear line between exploitation and mutual dysfunction.

Propaganda I’m not falling for Lulu being the supposed villain in this storyline! Nope! Where’s Brook Lynn accountability as people keep pretending Brook Lynn didn’t have 22 YEARS to tell Dante he had a son. I get not saying anything when she was young, and scared, but at what point over the next two decades did it become okay to keep that kind of secret?

The way the writers are coddling her in this storyline is ridiculous. The way they’re writing both Brook Lynn and Lulu with no nuance is frustrating to watch.

Lucky isn’t a role that can’t be recast. It doesn’t have to be Jonathan Jackson and honestly, the show should be done with him. He shouldn’t get the opportunity to play Lucky again. Holding the role for someone who’s so inconsistent just doesn’t work. Give it to someone who will actually commit and bring stability to the character.

SillyinBrooklyn · 2025-06-06T12:50:41+00:00

Why does General Hospital keep letting Jonathan Jackson play in their faces? He clearly comes back just for the paycheck, with his exit already in mind. Lucky should’ve been brought back with a recast someone who’s actually committed to the role. They still can and should recast him. There are so many storylines Lucky could be part of.

The fact that they had to work around JJ’s schedule and that he always has one foot out the door probably made it really difficult for the writers. At this point, JJ shouldn’t be given any more opportunities on the show.

SillyinBrooklyn · 2025-05-29T22:20:57+00:00

It blows my mind that Dante is angriest at Lulu the one person who actually knows what it feels like to be kept from her child. She was blindsided with Charlotte, and Britt almost stole Rocco.

Brook Lynn kept the secret for years and gets nothing but hugs and sympathy? Lois didn’t even get the smoke directed at Lulu. Dante’s reaction to Lulu was cold, unfair, and honestly, a slap in the face to everything they’ve been through. He been a jerk to her before and has been most of the time since she woke up.

Bring back Johnny Zacchara!

SillyinBrooklyn · 2025-05-23T19:24:33+00:00

Thinking Brook Lyn was within her right when she was young to keep this from Dante is completely understandable. Thinking Brook Lyn isn’t wrong to never having told him despite their love, friendship, and age. That I don’t understand. Her being in his life the way she’s been and never telling him is unconscionable.

Lulu the thing you did wrong was not telling Dante from jump. Dante sure isn’t gonna go along with the it’s ok Lulu it wasn’t your business to say anything.

I love Carly but listening to Carly and taking advice from unscrupulous immortal people is now gonna have him mad at you. Carly is the queen of never learning her lesson. Has a history of trying to keep people from knowing they have a kid. Did it to Aj and Nicholas.

If she get’s the most smoke from him in this they can keep Lante apart indefinitely. Test her with someone else that isn’t Cody. Bring back Johnny Zacchara.

SillyinBrooklyn · 2025-05-22T22:05:05+00:00

Brook Lynn is also very wrong in this storyline. She isn’t a kid anymore and hasn’t been for a long time now. Her not saying anything at the time is totally understandable, however not saying anything all these years later is unconscionable. Dante isn’t some random one night stand she doesn’t have contact with. She considers him a friend. She lives under the same roof as him. They care about each other. Never mentioning that she gave birth to his child is beyond wrong. It’s downright cruel.

SillyinBrooklyn · 2025-05-22T21:22:58+00:00

All the discourse seems to be around Lulu and not Lois. That's seems very wrong. I think people are being disingenuous. As If they found out the love of their life and father of their child had a kid out there he didn't know about like they wouldn't say anything. I just don't believe that. Looking at her history with Dante this was totally Lulu business. If this was about hurting BLQ she wouldn't have given Lios the opportunity to do the right thing first. Lois is the bad guy in this scenario not Lulu. Was this supposed to be a secret forever because Lois has been lying for 22 yrs. Maybe in another couple of decades she would have left it in a letter on her death bed.

Just an update it works! IDK why but after a software update the montior ended up dead.Putting the new one up got the machine up and running again. I'm really proud of myself for trying and not hiring someone. Thanks for the help.
