WatchTCM not working on android or ROKU in WI now, is this permanent?
Speaking of ROKU, my Paramount + no longer works on my ROKU TV. However it does work on my phone. I tried several times attempting to talk to ROKU, but was not successful . I don't know what to do. Thanks.
Yes I watch more YouTube than anything else. Then it’s Prime since I pay for Amazon membership and it’s convenient to add/drop subscriptions
NO DOUBT about it. I watch way more YOU TUBE Premium than any other platform. 70% to 30%
Sports, sports, sports, the cash cows of streaming. Everytime sports get involved prices go up, channels get blacked out when sports owners get cranky. Athletes are way over paid. Glad there are services like Sling where we can cut out sports in line ups.
Dood, you hype the minor news like it's major. Now concerned about the magnesium in my bowels, wow, you are big time!!! FWIW, either memorize your script or make a homemade half-assed teleprompter by taping your script to the camera. BTW, I LOVED the mail program and never wanted to get away but you are an internet guy, pining for IRC on this broadcast is pitiable. I am surprised t your big biz acumen considering how lame this show is. If it isn't't already I could be a HUGE moneymaker
@cordcuttersnews what device is that in the background you are using?
There need to be "Know Your Customer" to be allowed to have a phone calling system to access the U.S. telephone system to limit these scammers. If KYC is required for bank accounts then the same for the phone system.
I prefer getting cord cutter emails… lot less painful !
