DODGERS The TWC/SPECTRUM NIGHTMARE Thread

Umm...yeah, this is backwoods North Khakilakki, WTF is a bevmo? Where I live, they pump in the sunshine...

Thanks bud, just for the offer...you're the BEST.

 

Bevmo is a liquor store chain on the west coast.

 

Which sells a huge variety of micro brews and scotch.. Which is why I'm a member.. Haha

Even the occasional pliney can be spotted on a shelf..

Cheers fkucks!

 

MLB.tv BlueMouse updates:

ipad/iphone: the app no longer works on these devices. Instead of using your IP Address, the app now uses location services on these devices to determine location. Services like unblock-us cannot mask your location on these devices. I've read if you jailbreak your ipad/iphone there are apps available to fake your location, but I have not brought myself to jailbreak anything.

AppleTV: unblock-us works like a charm.

PS3: I set up my PS3 last night, and it was working but I kept getting a "Streaming error" message popping up about every minute. There was no actual streaming error because the game was playing just fine behind the popup, but regardless it made watching on the PS3 annoying. Has anyone else had this problem?

 

I went to a bevmo once, its complete crap, bunch of warm skunky beer.

Good prices though so if that's what matters most, its awesome.

 

? It's just like a regular liquor store except they have a shit ton of inventory.

 

You didn't know that any liquor store worth a penny keeps all its inventory at a temp of 35.5424 degrees Fahrenheit so that you can drink it as soon as you get in the car.

 

You didn't know that all beer shouldn't be served at that temperature?

 

Unblock-us.com is a service that masks the location of your IP Address.

How it works: You sign up on their website (I believe your account gets connected to the IP address at the location you sign up, so if you want to use it at home use a computer/laptop that is connected to your home router - and I think your account will only work at your house if you do this). Once you are signed up, you simply change the DNS settings on the devices you want it to affect based on the instructions at unblock-us (like your AppleTV). Finally, log back into their website anytime and there will be a dropdown to set your country. Change your country at anytime.

Cost: $5/mo

There's a 2-week free trial if you want to test it out. It works with Netflix if you want to test it on something before buying MLB.tv. Use your home laptop to setup the account, then change the DNS settings on your AppleTV. With unblock-us set to USA, open Netflix on AppleTV and search for "Spaceballs" or "Spongebob Squarepants" - neither should be available. Now set unblock-us to Ireland, close/re-open Netflix on AppleTv and do the same searches - those shows should now be available because Netflix thinks you're in Ireland.

 

You didn't know that only somebody who knows beer actually knows that beer knows what temperature it should be and knowingly chills or heats itself up?

 

Magic is full of shit. Not that it's always a bad thing but he's a bullshitter.

Staff attorneys at the Justice Department’s antitrust division are nearing a recommendation to block Comcast Corp.’s bid to buy Time Warner Cable Inc., according to people familiar with the matter.

Attorneys who are investigating Comcast’s $45.2 billion proposal to create a nationwide cable giant are leaning against the merger out of concerns that consumers would be harmed and could submit their review as soon as next week, said the people.

The antitrust lawyers will present their findings to Renata Hesse, a deputy assistant attorney general for antitrust, who will decide, along with the division’s top officials, whether to file a federal lawsuit to block the deal, they said.

Under pressure from an expanding number of cheaper online video services, the long-dominant bundle of channels offered by pay-TV companies is becoming a bit more flexible.

Verizon said Friday that it would let customers pick groups of channels that interest them, a plan that is separate from the traditional bundle that has been offered to customers for years.

The penchant for pick-and-choose online video is reshaping pay-TV. More and more people, fed up with large cable bundles with dozens of channels they don't watch and hate to pay for, are signing up for cheaper streaming services like Netflix. Amazon.com has also entered the game, as have HBO Now and Dish Network's Sling TV. Apple is reportedly working on its own version, too.

Verizon will give customers the option to buy a base package for about $55 with more than 35 channels — such as AMC, CNN and Food Network — plus two additional channel packs that have themes including sports, children and lifestyle. You can add more packs, which have about 10 to 17 channels on average, for $10 each, and swap out packs after 30 days. There's no contract required.

The above is offered as FYI and you can decide for yourself the impact of on the Dodger tv contract.

 

IMO, the TV situation is not affecting the current fanbase and technically, not hurting the Dodgers, BUT it is blocking the growth of the fanbase which IS hurting the Dodgers.

 

Agree, plus the overall tendency in today's instant gratification world is working against baseball. Kids seem to think the game is slow and boring, and don't see the beauty of a pitching duel or the drama in an extra inning affair.
