The old copper line phones don't need power in your house to work. If the power is out the phone line still works in an emergency.

@thedude5040 18 күн бұрын

Not true anymore. In many places, if they have an old copper line, the phone lines will not stay energized during an outtage.

I live in California and there are a lot more rural areas than you would think with poor or no cell reception. So landline is unfortunately still necessary and fiber deployment is more difficult in certain areas.

@maxwellerwin1824 18 күн бұрын

Yep I was going to say in big parts of Northern California ATT copper line is the only available option. It’s really a public safety concern for people to call emergency services.

@CatsaLots 18 күн бұрын

I wish I could get a wire line. Even in a large metro area VOIP is terrible and useless for emergency if cell phone and internet go out. Found that out when ATT had an outage months ago. There’s no way to communicate and get information unless you have an antenna with OTA access.

@michaelkpate 19 күн бұрын

Where I live, Century Link is still using the same copper that Sprint/Embarq ran on decades ago. I am not going to hold my breath until we get fiber.

@poppy87 19 күн бұрын

AT&T doesn't own WBD; they took the 71 percent of shares made in the new WBD company (formed as a reverse morris trust), then paid out all of their shares in WBD as dividends to all of the AT&T shareholders, so legally they're completely separate companies. Part odd the reason why WBD has so much debt is also due to the merger, as AT&T offloaded a large portion of their debt in this merger.

@Wichitan 19 күн бұрын

For those looking for an OTA receiver/streamer, Tablo is good stuff. My wife and I cut the cord a couple of years ago and we use the Tablo with an antenna to pull in local market stations and stream them over wi-fi throughout the house. Add an HDD and you have instant DVR. BTW, I use the Tablo even when our network is down, even though Tablo says it requires a network connection. If you have a functional router that it can connect to, that's enough of a network connection to trick the Tablo into working. (We live in tornado alley, so having local TV stations available is kind of a must-have. And having to re-wire between the Tablo and the TV would be a major PITA, not to mention that it would restrict us to one TV.)

@Wichitan 19 күн бұрын

@@BIGJdairyGoats I tried the SiliconDust solution, but it was a complete non-starter. Even the company; trying to get answers to questions was impossible. So when I saw the Tablo, I spec'd it out and decided to try it. It works well, albeit a little slow when tuning between channels. But that's typical of RF tuners these days.

Hey Luke AT&T does not own 70 some percent. The new company was spun out to existing shareholders. Shareholders of AT&T got 71& of the new company’s stock while discovery shareholders got the other 29%. So AT&T has no ownership or control of WBD

I did a quick review of the ATT article. I think California (and everyone) wild be okay with disconnecting copper, when there’s fiber at the address. It’s when there’s no fiber I think they want to flip everything to 5g which isn’t as reliable. ATT needs to bury fiber and sell everyone gigabit symmetrical for $50/month.

Question for Luke. Can you explain your continued emphasis on the price of the streaming devices? With the exception of Apple TV these devices are all priced in the tens of dollars. The difference in their costs is in dollars. All are great values. We all spend two or three times per month their cost on subscriptions. I consider them consumables; including gifts, I buy several a year. (I live alone, have four TVs, three with Chromecast, and one with both Chromecast and Apple TV. Much prefer the Chromecast remote to the Apple.)

I bought a Tablo 4th gen DVR about 3 weeks ago and found it lost connection to two TVs on the floor above it. One of the TVs was literally in the room above the location where the Table was situated. I even had the Tablo connected directly to a router with a Cat 6 cable. Tablo tech support had me try a number of "fixes" but none of them worked. Shipped the Tablo back to Amazon three days later for a refund. I wonder if the latest firmware upgrade will fix those issues. I'm just not ready to buy another one and try to make it work again so soon.
