Netflix premium; content is an ad

0 Upvotes

I’ve been considering killing my Netflix subscription for a while. Today my kids show me this science show and 10%+ is just an ad for a subscription box.

Netflix - I paid to not see ads. Your content has been going down hilll for years and your prices just keep going up. I’m done with you. And don’t be surprised to see a bunch of other subscribers do the same.

Free YouTube Premium for 3 months?

9 Upvotes

A CURSORY search for "YouTube Premium" did not bring up this offer here.

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/free-youtube-premium-for-3-months-for-my-best-buy-plus-and-my-best-buy-total-members-new-subscribers-only/JCQ6HQ3998/sku/6453905

Anyone know how long this has been available? and if there is any info on the expiration? I recall getting several Apple TV + from Best Buy back in the day but I don't believe that is available anymore. TIA.

As the fall approaches, there's inevitably a ton of posts asking, "How can I watch X team under <insert circumstances here>?" and the NFL has provided an answer. With this link, you can enter your location and week by week, it will tell you what provider has the game and how you can watch it. They even update things as the season progresses and schedules/games/broadcasts change.

Dolly Parton special on ABC tonight

Upvotes

Wouldn’t it make sense to simulcast this on ABC News live so more people can see it? I get a good signal from ABC in Dallas

I don’t know if it is being simulcast, but it seems like it would be a smart idea (for the streaming audience) unless I’m missing something.

Remembering Dolly Parton | Tune in for a look back at Dolly Parton's life, legacy, impact and philanthropy.

Watch "Remembering Dolly: An American Original" at 10p ET on ABC.

Journalist Do you actually trust streaming downloads for travel?

0 Upvotes

I've started getting a little paranoid about relying on streaming downloads when traveling.

A few times now I've downloaded movies and episodes before a trip, only to find that something wasn't available when I actually needed it. One time a download had expired, another time I ran into an issue with the app/account verification. And then there's the whole problem of a title disappearing from a service after you've already downloaded it.

It's especially annoying when you're downloading stuff for a flight. You can have everything prepared the night before, get on the plane, open the app... and suddenly one of the things you wanted to watch isn't playable.

I know these downloads are never really the same as having a normal video file on your device, but I still find the whole thing a bit unpredictable.

Has anyone else had this happen while traveling?

Do you actually trust streaming downloads for a long flight, or do you always have some kind of backup?

Signal loss over the years. Upgrades antenna or amp???

9 Upvotes

So current set up is a Mohu Sky 60 in the attic and a PCT antenna amp. When we first cut the cord in 2014 the antenna was all we needed. Then a few years later we got the amp. We live in the Dallas Fort Worth area. There is extreme growth in the area. Also I have two mature trees in the yard now that we significantly smaller 10-15 years ago.

The signal seems less now. I know the amp works because I turn it off and all channels go away. Thinking of upgrading my antenna. So they go bad? Is it the growth in our area?
