Comment Re:ESPN (Score 1) 401

i like sports too, but hate ESPN since it's mostly college sports which i don't follow

but the NY Yankees and Mets suck this year. the knicks will suck for years to come. Nets are so so. same with the Giants.

only reason i'm paying is i'm on a bundle and i ran the numbers and it's cheaper than buying a la carte cartoons for my kids that netflix doesn't have

marketing gimmick for nerds to think they have a big penis
just like giant SUV's, graphics cards that give you 10,000 FPS in some game, etc

i was visiting some family with comcast and netflix on their 5mbps service was better than my 20/2 time warner at home. same with youtube. and same result with other family i have with cablevision.

comcast has a direct connection to netflix and is youtube HD certified. cablevision has open connect. having an ISP that links directly to your content will give you better results than some number that only works on speedtest.net no matter what the network neutrality morons will say

simple rule

around July 4th you get a nice action filled blockbuster movie with a mindless plot and action
Christmas is Oscar time for movies
All other times are for the crap they expect to lose money, EXCEPT

in February when school is out you might get an OK comic or some other kid's movie
April you get some good sci-fi with older actors and an actual plot and theme
August is summer crapfest that wouldn't make it on July 4th
late july is start of summer crapfest
