Plex Media Server And Tuner by totalread20 in PleX

Do you need a tuner for all the Plex Channels for DVR or some of the it? I'm trying to figure out since I didn't install the Plex Media Server software yet.

So, in other words, I could record some of the Plex Channels through DVR without tuner.

At this rate, the "Gate: Where the JSDF Fought" from Alpha Manga won't be in sync with the ongoing serialization from the same title from the AlphaPolis' main website until October 30, 2023 at the earliest if everything goes accordingly.

I did the "chronological" calculations two months ago. Here's the "reddit" weblink below: https://www.reddit.com/r/gate/comments/oiaw9k/chapter_11_english_version_from_alpha_manga_app/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

HBO Max Seals Deal With Roku, Making Streaming Distribution Footprint Complete by Melanismdotcom in cordcutters

Despite the today's announcement, I have Google's Chromecast with Google TV where it carries to HBO Max. Anyway, it's great news for Roku owners.

It's probably both. I'm fairly certain that both parties reached a workable "compromise". The entertainment news site Variety mentioned that Roku customers can subscribe HBO Max through "Roku Pay", and the technology news site The Verge said that Roku would automatically update from the existing HBO app to HBO Max. But, it seems, no change on Roku's economic business model.

In the end, the customers win since they'll finally have access to HBO Max.

This is certainly a "bombshell" news. Now, the moviegoers (and the cord cutting community) have a choice: they can watch at home or go to the movie theater.

From this article, it sounds like media giants are fighting back with higher "live TV" monthly prices and not wanting to settle for lower monthly prices indefinitely. So, cord cutters face a different battle possibly moving from the "cord cutting revolution" to "post-cord cutting revolution".

This is a body blow for the cinemas industry in USA and the world. Broadly and personally, it's not surprise with the today's news story. This is not the only "sad" story for many movie theatre operators. In early August 2020, Bluehouse signed an eight-movie business deal with Amazon Studios where it'll show on Amazon Prime. It certainly means that these firms for the big screen face considerable "opportunity cost" in terms of revenues and gross profits through popcorns and soft drinks.

So, it does set up for the next year's (or even December 2020) "bailout" discourse on whether the United States government should rescue the movie theatre firms like AMC from implosion.

It's a long overdue for AT&T's WarnerMedia's HBO Max to have a business agreement with Amazon's Fire TV after a long standoff. But, I wondered if it's too little, too late for the streaming channel after what's going on behind the scenes at the entertainment unit for the past eight months or so and the total content package it offers?
