In case anyone loses their cable on or around May 23 for a while, this may be the cause. All I can say is "Oops, our bad". 🙂 Intelsat has confirmed that Galaxy 15 is still transmitting signals to Earth and it’s slowly but surely entering the orbit of AMC 11, a satellite owned by SES World Skies, that handles […]
Read moreIt would seem that ABC and Cablevision are have another lover’s quarrel. You know what that means… That’s right, Cablevision’s paying customers will probably be made to suffer! The dispute centers on whether Cablevision should start paying fees to carry WABC-TV as part of its basic package. The dispute has been festering for two years, the station said, and it’s […]
Read morePretty sure this is the first time I ever wished I was a Cablevision customer, but kudos to them for going against the norm. This seems like a cool idea, but I will withhold judgement until I see it in action. Multichannel "With our PC to TV Media Relay service, we are putting an end to the need for families […]
Read moreWe just heard of the launching in limited markets of HBO’s online offering, which requires you to be an HBO subscriber. So if HBO is a subscription-based provider…and you have to be a subscriber to access their shows (which have no commercials)…then their online offering should be pretty awesome right? Wrong! What a shame. Hope this improves over time or […]

Pretty cool offering here from HBO, currently only for Comcast and Verizon Fios HBO subscribers, but still a great sign as companies continue to believe in the online digital world. I don’t even mind that you need an HBO subscription, since it’s a great and fast way for subscribers to catch up or be introduced to shows they maybe missed […]

Read moreIs this thing on? Hehe… my 1st official news post. Let’s see if I can’t mess this up. It’s good to be the king. No, not me! That’s what Cablevision has been shouting at Verizon for a while now, touting their "exclusivity" to HD regional sports content. Well, thankfully, the FCC has finally come to the rescue and all you […]
Read moreI’m not sure if I would feel comfortable always having my Xbox 360 on 24/7, but the concept here is fantastic, allowing you to use it as your set top box as well. I have a hunch cable companies would still find ways to charge you extra for this, but Engadget’s video below is pretty seamless. Not close to as […]

This cable card fiasco sure has been one for the ages hasn’t it? I bet we look back 10 years from now and this sticks as one of the worst implemented technologies ever. It’s good to see TiVo and Sony involved in trying to make a change. Now the wait to see if anything comes of this. EngadgetHD The […]
Read moreI caught this bit of news the other day and meant to post it sooner, if only because I’m not at all surprised by the results. All the money that was spent for the whole transition was absurd, but hey, at least those that did redeem it didn’t have to go a day without television! CrunchGear The government mailed out […]
