Old North State Living Serenity Unspoiled Old North State Community Association Volume 19 , Issue 3, March 2020 Old North State Living www.oldnorthstateup.org www.myoldnorthstateup.org 336.461.5344 [email protected] Serenity Unspoiled Understanding Television Service Options Within Community By: Olin Giles Now that Randolph Telephone has announced that they are exiting the TV business later this year, a number of people have asked what other options are available. While I was never a Randolph TV customer, I recently switched from a satellite-based TV service (DirectTV) to a streaming TV service by AT&T called ATT TV Now (www.atttvnow.com). I March 8 made this change for cost reasons. Daylight Savings Time Begins March 17 Overall, I am pleased with the change. Today, however, I would definitely choose St. Patrick’s Day YouTube TV over ATT TV Now. I believe that YouTubeTV, a Google company, March 23 (https://tv.youtube.com) is a superior offering at a much more favorable price. Let me ONSCA Board Meeting 9 am at Clubhouse explain some of the basic concepts behind streaming TV and what I recommend. April 15 Streaming TV is the future of TV. With internet service increasingly delivered by high Tax Day speed fiber optic networks, it makes perfect sense to deliver TV channels over the same April 16—20 internet network. While Randolph provided TV service over such a network, they simply Men’s ACC Golf Championship didn’t have the customer base or scale to negotiate favorable pricing from the various TV channels/networks. Randolph did an admirable job, but in the long run, their efforts were April 12 doomed to fail. Easter April 27 The article on pages 10-12 of this newsletter provides a good summary of some seven ONSC Board Meeting streaming TV service providers that you may want to consider. One of the services is free 9 am at Clubhouse and others range from $5 to north of $100 per month. I recommend that you read this _______________________ summary and make a service provider choice based on the channels offered versus Members may attend any the price and other features. Most offer 30-day free trials, and you are generally free to regular board meeting as an switch services without penalty. observer. In order to address the board on a specific topic, you must be added to the Typically, the various streaming services allow you to stream up to three different channels agenda one week prior to the concurrently to up to any three TVs. In my case, I can stream up to three channels from meeting date. ATT TV Now to a number of TVs around the house, but only three TVs can be streamed from the streaming service at any point in time. One neat thing about streaming is that a “big box” is not required because the DVR feature or storage is cloud-based (remote storage). There is usually a video storage limit and storage duration before the video is automatically erased. To accommodate three concurrent channels, you will need an internet speed of at least 25 megabits per second (MBS). At first, I had 25 MBS, and I experienced occasional network overload warnings, so Randolph increased the internet speed to 50 MBS. This is adequate to cover three concurrent TV channels, plus NetFlix, and a number of computers during the holiday season, when we have so many guests. You will need a “Smart TV” or a high definition digital TV. Most of the new TVs in the last several years are smart TVs. With a smart TV you simply download or use an App for the service provider that you select, and for which you set-up an account. If you have an older high definition TV (one with an HDMI connector), you can buy a dongle-like device (about the size of a large memory stick) with a small remote control that allows you to receive streaming TV channels after you sign-up for a plan. ROKU (www.roku.com) and Amazon Fire Stick TV (www.amazon.com) are the leading suppliers of such devices, and their cost is in the $25-50 range. Apple offers a somewhat larger device that costs approximately MARCH 8 $100-$150. Even though I have several smart TVs, I chose to equip most of my TVs with 2 Streaming Options (continued) the Fire Stick 4K TV dongle and remote control so that all TVs function in the same manner. I also have one TV with an Apple TV device, but the Apple remote is very sensitive and more difficult to use. If you choose the Fire Stick TV dongle, I recommend that you select the 4K version. It features a faster processor and takes less time to power-up each time you use it. It also positions you for the newer 4K TVs and their higher definition displays. All of my TVs are fed over WiFi from one central point in the house. There is no need for individual coax cables or cat5 wiring to each TV location. You just plug the TV in the wall and connect the dongle to the HDMI jack on the back of your TV (if not a smart TV). If you have an audio sound system for your TV, plug the dongle into the HDMI connector on the audio system. Of course, if you prefer, you can run a cat5 cable from your internet modem/router to your TV. In my case, the WiFi approach works great. Some of the streaming services offer local channels. With my current ATT TV Now service, I have the Charlotte local channels for the main networks and PBS. In order to receive the Charlotte channels, I had to indicate that I live in Stanly County, as our zip code encompasses several counties, some of which will result in Greensboro/Winston Salem local channels. YouTubeTV will ask whether you want the Charlotte or Greensboro/Winston Salem local channels once you enter your zip code. You will have to check out the other streaming services. As I said at the outset, today I would choose YouTubeTV for my streaming service. I like the channel lineup and the cost. My ATT TV Now service just raised the monthly cost to just over $100/month, compared to about $75 just a few months ago. Compare this to about $50/month for YouTubeTV and over 70-80 channels. One reason that I didn’t choose YouTubeTV at the outset is that the Hallmark channel movies are not offered on this channel. I have since learned that you can subscribe to the Hallmark channel as a stand-alone streaming service for $5/month. Keep in mind that you are free to use more than one streaming service to get the channels you want. I hope these suggestions help you get started. (Stay tuned: Additional information and community learning sessions are being planned for the next few months.)

  • Free Online Broadcast Repeater Service Locast.Org Goes National Football Fans in Dallas Will Watch Games Without Paying a Fortune
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 2, 2018 Contact: Brian Hess, [email protected] ​ ​ Free Online Broadcast Repeater Service Locast.org Goes National Football Fans in Dallas Will Watch Games without Paying a Fortune. Three More Major Markets to Launch Soon. August 2, 2018 (New York, NY) - The non-profit Sports Fans Coalition NY (SFCNY) today launched Locast.org, a free local broadcast video streaming service currently available in New York City, to the people of Dallas, TX, and announced the expansion of Locast.org in the coming weeks to three other top-10 markets. Locast.org today also premiered a new and improved user interface and a Locast Android App, making it easier than ever before to watch local broadcast stations online. “Broadcast TV since its inception was supposed to be free and available to the public, especially during football season, when every local professional game is on broadcast,” said SFCNY Chairman David Goodfriend. “Dallas is football country and this fall, Dallas fans will be able to watch their home team online for free,” said Goodfriend. “Texas taxpayers helped to pay for the stadiums, roads, ramps, and rights-of-way that make the games possible; they own the public airwaves that carry the games on TV; and they deserve to watch their home team play, even if they can’t get an over-the-air broadcast signal or don’t want to pay for cable or satellite,” added Goodfriend. Launched on January 11, 2018 in New York City, Locast.org streams almost every full power broadcast channel in a local market to anyone with an Internet connection located within the relevant Nielsen Designated Market Area (DMA).

    International In-house Counsel Journal Vol. 11, No. 41, Autumn 2017, 1 The Future is Cordless: How the Cordless Future will Impact Traditional Television SABRINA JO LEWIS Director of Business Affairs, Paramount Television, USA Introduction A cord-cutter is a person who cancels a paid television subscription or landline phone connection for an alternative Internet-based or wireless service. Cord-cutting is the result of competitive new media platforms such as Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, iTunes and YouTube. As new media platforms continue to expand and dominate the industry, more consumers are prepared to cut cords to save money. Online television platforms offer consumers customized content with no annual contract for a fraction of the price. As a result, since 2012, nearly 8 million United States households have cut cords, according to Wall Street research firm MoffettNathanson.1 One out of seven Americans has cut the cord.2 Nielsen started counting internet-based cable-like service subscribers at the start of 2017 and their data shows that such services have at least 1.3 million customers and are still growing.3 The three most popular subscription video-on-demand (“SVOD”) providers are Netflix, Amazon Prime and HULU Plus. According to Entertainment Merchants Association’s annual industry report, 72% of households with broadband subscribe to an SVOD service.4 During a recent interview on CNBC, Corey Barrett, a senior media analyst at M Science, explained that Hulu, not Netflix, appears to be driving the recent increase in cord-cutting, meaning cord-cutting was most pronounced among Hulu subscribers.5 Some consumers may decide not to cut cords because of sports programming or the inability to watch live programing on new media platforms.

  • The Streaming Television Industry: Mature Or Still Growing?
    The Streaming Television Industry: Mature or Still Growing? Johannes H. Snyman Metropolitan State University of Denver Debora J. Gilliard Metropolitan State University of Denver This paper is about the streaming television industry. It begins by defining the industry and provides a brief history of the television industry in general, from the first transatlantic television signal in 1928 to 2018. From that point, it emphasizes the streaming television industry, which started in 2007, when Netflix first streamed movies over the internet. The main section of the paper focuses on Michael Porter’s theory of the industry life cycle to determine the current stage of the industry. The research question is developed, proposing that the industry is in the growth phase. Then, the number of paid subscribers of the top streaming providers in 2018 is used to address the research question. The results indicate that the industry is in the growth phase. The final section provides an outlook for the industry’s future. Keywords: Streaming TV Industry, OTT TV, Growth Industry INTRODUCTION The television industry is rapidly changing, moving toward “over-the-top”, or streaming, television. Cord cutting is occurring as millennials and traditional viewers discontinue and unbundle their television, internet, and landline telephone services (Snyman & Gilliard, 2018). Millennials are keeping their monthly expenses down by subscribing to streaming services that provide the content they are interested in watching, and binge-watching of serial television shows is the new norm (Prastien, 2019). “Over-the-top” (OTT) television and “online video distribution” (OVD) are terms that originally referred to the streaming television services provided by Netflix, Hulu and Amazon.

    ACM West Live Streaming A virtual Multichannel Video Provider vMVPD A virtual MVPD (vMVPD) is a service that provides multiple television channels through the internet without supplying its own data transport infrastructure (i.e. coaxial cable, fiber, or satellite technology). These services are also sometimes called “skinny bundles” as they often contain fewer channels than a traditional cable or satellite subscription. You may be familiar with some vMVPDs such as Sling TV, DirecTV Now, PlayStation Vue, Fubo, Philo, YouTube TV and Hulu Live. Increasingly, content is available as a vMVPD These vMVPD’s are most often delivered through... Some Statistics ● Virtual MVPD use is still small but growing rapidly. In April 2018, 5 percent (4.9MM) of U.S. households with Wi-Fi internet streamed a pure-play vMVPD on their television screen. This is a remarkable 58 percent increase in households from the year before. ● vMVPDs are being adopted by more than just the younger generations. In April 2017, 29 percent of households using a pure-play vMVPD had a head of household under age 35. In just one year, that percentage dropped eight points to only 21 percent, indicating a higher number of older viewers are now using vMVPDs. Also from Comscore But viewer/platform changes can benefit PEG media ● If one looks at the opportunities these new platforms offer, if not for the outdated funding model that does not include internet, there are many opportunities ● Social media is just another method of distribution, but it comes with ratings! ● These other platforms also support HD, on-demand viewing, and feedback.
