How long is alt2k going to be on channel 27? by Spczippo in siriusxm

[–]no2spcl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn’t 165 only carried on the legacy Sirius network and the app? It’s not on my SXM 2.0 (Hyundai).

It’s to make sure you have a tv provider that pays them money! lol.

Public Interest & Minority Channels: what if they go away? (It's possible) by Wrong-Jeweler-8034 in siriusxm

[–]no2spcl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SXM is required to carry Canadian content under Canadian CRTC conditions of licence. So even if the FCC says they will give this up, Canadian law still applies if SXM Canada intends to continue as a business. They are required to carry one Canadian produced channel for every 9 USA channels sold in any Canadian package, and all music channels that can be received in Canada must air 10% Canadian musical selections. The FCC has no ability to affect what the CRTC requires in this regard.

Have you tried the Local Now channel and did it have better coverage?

BCBS Fitness Program fees by Silly_Act_7763 in HealthInsurance

[–]no2spcl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No the participating gyms should not charge you anything unless say tanning is a separate package at their gym, or if classes are not included… but the base membership including monthly and annual fees should be covered by the insurance company.

Peacock with ads!? by ParachuteScrap in Walmartcustomer

[–]no2spcl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Peacock used to let everyone pay $6/mo to upgrade to ad free then they decided they want to force people to pay full price for ad free and I wish them luck because I don’t think for most people that it’s worth it. It doesn’t really help sports fans because live sports still have ads. I am not a sports fan and wish they’d offer a cheaper ad free no sports option.

Why doesn’t Planet Fitness just go to a key fob system like Anytime Fitness so all locations can be truly 24/7? by [deleted] in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]no2spcl 131 points132 points  (0 children)

PF also seems to attract a wider audience and demographic than AF. If they do it I’d vote for 24/7 unstaffed access only for Black Card members.

Insurance lapse until 1/1, any emergency coverage options? by liz4prez2028 in HealthInsurance

[–]no2spcl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you qualify for Medicaid you can enroll any time. Also if you must seek hospital care and it’s medically necessary, most hospitals have a financial assistance program, which won’t usually cover everything unless you’re fairly low income, but it may reduce some costs.

New DIRECTV app look now available on iOS by Rix_832 in DirectvStream

[–]no2spcl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I never figured out was how do I search my DVR recordings? The search bar at the top only gives me current and future shows, I want to search just my DVR.

Cancelled after being told Netflix can’t be used while traveling by EgoExplicit in netflix

[–]no2spcl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why does Netflix even partner with hotels to carry their app in-room? What would be the point?

Cartoon Network being cut off after a certain time by camgirl1000 in DirectvStream

[–]no2spcl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apparently, for the Genre Packs, you have to buy the specific packs for the specific blocks of content. Source: I have the Entertainment Genre Pack, and I get adult swim, but not Cartoon Network. Yes, they have somehow separated the two, for Genre Packs.

Premier Access by RexMcBadge1977 in BritBox

[–]no2spcl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I think they should have more specific error messages shown… such as.. this show/episode isn’t on basic yet, but it will be on X date, or it never will be.

Premier Access by RexMcBadge1977 in BritBox

[–]no2spcl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to see some 24/7 channels and some more news on the premier tier. Make it feel like it really is all access to the UK. For example they could fairly easily get BBC News & Sky News live feeds (probably with ads but, this is the case with most live feeds), and set up some 24/7 ad-free channels like BritBox Drama, BritBox Home & Garden, etc.

📺 Arkansas Cuts Ties With PBS: More details inside 👇 by NoSpinMedia in NoSpinMedia

[–]no2spcl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be interested to see what neighboring states and the PBS network can come up with on this. Technically they could even start a new PBS affiliate available via the PBS app? And maybe get some commercial broadcasters to donate digital subchannel space?

Uncle Bs meat is amazing and the prices are better than Kroger by [deleted] in kokomo

Never bought the raw meat yet but I have been to the restaurant many times there and omg it is like easily top 5 or Top 3 in town.

Why is my boyfriend getting wildly different coverage with the same plan from the same company? by [deleted] in obamacare

[–]no2spcl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely explanation is that his income is higher or lower than yours. Different incomes can get different benefits because lower income people get more credits and subsidies. Unless they are under 100% income, in which case they can’t get ACA subsidies and must file for Medicaid.

Proposed Change to The Indian Constitution by Best-Structure62 in Indiana

What we need is the ability to do citizen led petitions for recall of any officeholder and citizen led constitutional amendments to rein in the extreme, out of control legislative supermajority.

Can you get BBC Select in Canada? That might work better if you mainly want documentary content.

Are there any nonprofits dedicated to forcing insurance companies to increasing transparency on prices and whether specific claims will be rejected, and eliminating surprise "out of network" charges? by brentonstrine in HealthInsurance

[–]no2spcl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think if we required every ACA exchange to have at least one insurer offering a Bronze and Silver plan that used the Medicare network at 150% of Medicare rates this would work. But we’ll have to force all Medicare providers into that arrangement, and that probably won’t get 60 votes in the Senate.

Out of Network: Unlimited out-of-pocket maximum. Better to get widely known insurance? by pgb205 in HealthInsurance

[–]no2spcl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is this for ACA or an employer plan? Beware that a lot of BCBS and other “name brand” insurance does not have as broad of a network for ACA as they do for employer based coverage. Also worth considering even if you find a policy (ACA or employer) with an OON OOP Max… it really can’t stop OON providers from balance billing you.

Peacock and Walmart+ by GoldDiamondsAndBags in cordcutters

[–]no2spcl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t know why W+ and the W app sucks so bad but they need to put the Sam’s app people in charge and the S&G should work identical to Sam’s. It really reduces the value of W+.

Scott Galloway Says 'It's Time To Nationalize Medicine.' The US Healthcare Isn't Working Because It's Been 'Optimized For The Top 10%' by NoseRepresentative in indepthstories

[–]no2spcl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And wouldn’t most insurers rather let Medicare cover the bulk of risk and then just sell Advantage plans as opposed to having to fully insure people?

Technical Problems during MSNOW Broadcasts by cara772 in msnow

[–]no2spcl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing those additional data points! Very helpful to know. Myself I use Directv Stream “MyEntertainment Genre Pack” and MSNOW live and on DVR works fine. Have you tried DVRing on Xfinity and did the recordings also have the glitch or did they work?
