    To add insult to injury, Apple doesn't allow location-spoofer apps in the App Store. So if you want to spoof your location you either need to jail-break your device or become an Apple Developer.

    Not that it matters so much to you but.. You'll be among the legions to learn WHY Time Warner changed their name to Spectrum.

    Customer service so reviled and hostile that the company changed its name in a last ditch feeble attempt hoping to cure the well earned perception of ingrained toxic customer service.




    still painful after all these years

    Yep, Apple leads the charge into knowing everything possible about each of us, including knowing our whereabouts at all times. They truly think that they deserve all of this data.. because they want it.

    Now if only they would cooperate with state and federal authorities more instead of creating their domain of control we could see them as the evil they represent rather than so many drinking the Apple KoolAid year after year perfectly naive about their identities being for sale 24/7.




    nothing to see here move along move along

    Same with Google.
    These companies are not taking anything that we aren't giving them.

    I need to try that, im a cheap bastard that is still on Dish network. Got pissed last year when MLBtv shut off Dodger games (the year before there was no need for VPN crap). I know its cheap but don't want to use a blocker. Damn!!! I wish they would just put them back on Fox Sports....like the good old days.

    So far this ST my fire stick has been spotty to say the least but I'm hoping it'll improve once this starts to count. Movies and TV have been alot more consistent that the sports.

    For anybody using a VPN service unlocator seems to have stopped working for me so I have sought out a new one and found "Private Internet Access" it's a little more complicated, but I found it in a few article for "Top 10 VPN services in 2018".

    AT&T prevails as Time Warner takeover gets OK from judge

    AT&T on Tuesday won a federal judge’s approval for its $85 billion deal to acquire Time Warner, prevailing over the federal government.

    U.S. District Judge Richard Leon rejected the government’s argument that a combination of AT&T and Time Warner would give the telecom giant an unfair advantage over rival cable companies. AT&T expects to complete the deal by June 20.

    While the U.S. Department of Justice could choose to appeal the decision, Leon warned that government officials should “have the good judgement [and] wisdom” not to seek a stay to temporarily prevent the deal from moving forward. The judge added that a stay would be a burden to AT&T, which has paid billions in its legal defense of the deal.

    “This decision was a sound and proper rejection” of the government’s argument, Daniel Petrocelli, AT&T’s lead attorney on the case, said outside the court building.

    ------------

    Not a gawd damned word anywhere on whether this means Los Angeles FINALLY gets to see the $#%&*@#$&*^ Dodgers!!





    but mebbe... or mebbe not.. bunch of greedy damned bastards

    They don’t give a goddamn about it.

    Essentially all the execs are smiling because they are either gonna get huge bonuses for sealing the deal or are kicking their chops for a gigantic retirement severance payment.

    The lower level people are fucked....as usual.

    They're not going to get the wide coverage they did on PrimeTicket. The Dodgers need to get Spectrum to just bite the bullet and find a different solution. The team is losing exposure, not money.
    • Offer SNLA a la carte to DirectTV. This will allow those who want to pay for the channel to get it at home and allow bars and restaurants to show the games.
    • Create a paid Dodgers streaming app for games only (no original programming) without the contingency of having Spectrum. Price it to cover the loss if people drop Spectrum in favor of the Dodgers app.
    • Simulcast 5 games per month on over-the-air television
