Dentist near Troy MI keeps patients of all ages smiling
There are many benefits of being in an area that knocks right on the door of one of the country's biggest metro areas. You have a choice. John L. Aurelia, DDS, PLLC understands there are many options to choose from in your search for a
dentist near Troy MI
. Drs Aurelia and Dina Khoury are happy to acquaint you with their Rochester Hills office before they see you in person, courtesy of the following answers to "Frequently Asked Questions."
I don't have tooth pain. Why should I visit a dentist?
Many conditions such as gum disease have little to no symptoms early on, when they're easiest to treat. It's important to get in a routine of visiting us for professional dental care, as we're trained to spot even subtle problems. These problems can then be resolved by deep cleaning teeth or nonsurgical periodontal treatment before they cause painful complications that may require time-consuming, costly, and invasive restorative procedures.
I'm embarrassed by the look of my smile. What can I do?
We're pleased to have many options to improve the appearance of your teeth and gums. Our team offers several teeth whitening system alternatives, including Zoom! in-office bleaching, custom take-home trays, and strips that actually work! If you have very deep or stubborn discoloration, chips, gaps, and other concerns, cosmetic veneers or teeth bonding may be recommended. Sensitive teeth are no match for today's minimal-prep veneers, as well as products to help manage or prevent bleaching-related sensitivity.
When should children visit the dentist?
Call us to schedule a pediatric appointment if your child is at least a year old or has at least one tooth. It may seem strange to bring an infant with no teeth or a single tooth to the dentist; however, gums must be cleaned well to assure teeth develop in a healthy manner. Those baby teeth help to guide adult teeth into proper position. So, it's important they aren't lost to early childhood decay. We can show you techniques to easily and effectively clean little mouths.
Children's dental care can be fun! Every child gets a toy after the visit. They look forward to visiting the dentist – no fear here. We're also pleased to offer:
Convenient scheduling – Early morning, evening hours, after-hours and emergency care
Comprehensive services – Range of preventive, restorative, and cosmetic treatments; plus, relationships with the region's top specialists for complex procedures
Budget-friendly – Flexible payment with medical financing
Additional questions? As your choice for a local dentist near me in Troy MI, we look forward to meeting you and answering those questions in person.

Visiting in Rochester Hills and had an aching tooth. A crown that had been recently replaced in FL was apparently not adjusted quite right and was giving the tooth above a great deal of pain. Since Dr. Aurelia is my daughter's dentist, I called at 8A to be given a 9A appointment. Dr. Aurelia diagnosed the issue quickly and knowledgeably as one that just needed a little grinding down of the new crown. What a guy! What a dentist! Very pleased indeed! If I move back to MI, I would use his practice for sure. Everyone was so accommodating and professional.

The staff is always so friendly and personable. This is a very professional office that has taken great care of my family and I better than any other dentist office we have been to. Dr. Aurelia makes sure to get to know his clients and gives them the quality care they come in for. I would refer anyone looking for great dental care!

Wish I could give them more the five stars. This is the best practice I've ever been to. After I moved out of town I searched for a local dentist, needless to say I drive almost an hour to go see Dr. Aurelia still. On top of have a great staff and being a great dentist, Dr. Aurelia is kind enough to return messages over the weekend and do what ever he can to help even when he is not working.

We ran into a weird issue when we tried pausing a live stream. It let us pause our show (because when you gotta go, you gotta go), but when we tried to resume and pushed play, the app skipped us ahead to the live stream. We ran into this problem only with live streams and not with on-demand shows and movies, We're hoping this issue goes away when the cloud DVR feature launches, We'll see. Right now it makes for a somewhat buggy experience.
Allconnect.com presents information collected independently from official provider websites. We regularly update the site in an effort to keep this information up-to-date and accurate at all times. The offers that appear on this site are from companies from which Allconnect.com receives compensation. Allconnect.com does not include every service provider available.
The best way to pick the right TV package is to first set your budget. Next, ask yourself which channels you'd like to be included in your package. Most providers offer a similar set of core channels for every plan. With each plan upgrade, the provider adds either more HD or premium channels to justify the added cost. Some of these channels may be foreign networks that you can't normally get in the U.S. or even commercial-free movie channels. None of us want our favorite movie to be interrupted by an annoying commercial break. Most providers also offer access to On-Demand libraries filled with hundreds or even thousands of titles for you to enjoy at any time. Make sure to check out the free perks included in your chosen package. For example, Spectrum gives its subscribers free HD channels on some of its plans. Premium packages from Spectrum also include movie channels like HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, TMC, and STARZ, as well as the NFL Network and NFL Redzone at no extra cost. Now that's what we call a deal!
Yes, Amazon Prime requires an internet connection to stream video. I recommend getting cable internet vs. dial up or DSL. DSL may be fast enough, but dial up will not be. A basic cable internet package should be enough for streaming video. Try the minimum plan, but if it isn't fast enough, then bump up the service one level, try that, and repeat if necessary. But you should be fine with the basic package. Also be sure to check how much data streaming you have to be sure you don't go over the plan limits, as that may be expensive, depending on your internet provider (many plans offer unlimited downloads, but it's still a good idea to check).
The only reasons not to get an inexpensive antenna are because you don't want to fuss between different inputs, or you can't find a suitable window or another spot in your home. Other than that, it's the best way to ensure you get all your local channels, which many streaming services lack in some form. Read our comparison of the best antennas available right now.
It's also quite possible to cut the cord and still have plenty of screen time. The alternatives to the $100 a month cable bill include dozens of services that provide some programming at a fraction of the cost. A list and comparison is beyond the scope of this blog, but the links above can get you started. I do use Amazon Prime, which gives me access to thousands of shows, movies, and more music than you could hear in a lifetime.
The pioneer in this technology is Roku, which offers several boxes and streaming sticks to choose from. Additional options including Apple TV and Chromecast. I use a Chromecast myself, which is compatible with YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Spotify, Google Play, and local media players Avia, and Plex. A Chromecast can also stream anything from a tab in the Chrome browser or any screen on an Android phone, opening up virtually the entire world of streaming video with a $35 HD streaming stick.
Cons: When you record a show on YouTube, it's with the expectation that you can watch it the way a cord cutter would want to – with the ability to fast forward through commercials. But some shows come in as video-on-demand versions – and no functionality to zip through the ads.. YouTube needs to be clearer about what you're getting, as cable DVRs don't put you through this torture.
Such stations may use similar on-air branding as that used by the nearby broadcast network affiliate, but the fact that these stations do not broadcast over the air and are not regulated by the FCC, their call signs are meaningless. These stations evolved partially into today's over-the-air digital subchannels, where a main broadcast TV station e.g. NBS 37* would – in the case of no local CNB or ABS station being available – rebroadcast the programming from a nearby affiliate but fill in with its own news and other community programming to suit its own locale. Many live local programs with local interests were subsequently created all over the United States in most major television markets in the early 1980s.
What you don't get: Live TV still isn't available in some smaller markets, and the new plans eliminate some popular networks that were available under the older plans, including A&E, AMC, Discovery, and Viacom. Those who subscribed before the change are allowed to keep their current plan and channel lineup, but are subject to the $10-a-month price hike.
In second quarter 2011, Comcast lost 238,000 television customers, compared to 265,000 a year earlier, though the company was making up for these losses with increases in other services such as Internet. Moffett said the slowing rate indicated that online sources were not making people drop cable as quickly. On the other hand, Time Warner Cable and Charter Communications lost more customers in the quarter than in 2010.[9] Time Warner Cable lost 130,000, while Dish Network lost 135,000; by comparison, DirecTV gained 26,000 subscribers, compared to 100,000 the previous year. Nielsen Media Research estimated that the number of households with at least one television set had decreased from 115.9 million to 114.7 million, while also estimating an increase in program viewing by computer, tablets or smartphones. Services such as U-verse were increasing their subscriber numbers by offering special features: U-verse's "My Multiview" option allowed people to watch four channels at once, while Cablevision's "iO TV Quick Views" allowed the display of up to nine channels at once.[10]
This week Apple announced a new subscription TV service that will launch this fall. This new service will give you access to original Apple-created content. For now, we don't know the cost or even the lineup of content that will launch with the service, but that has not stopped cable TV supporters from pushing the idea that cord cutting costs more than cable TV.
One included feature -- Tablo Connect -- lets you watch live TV and your recordings from your smartphone wherever you go, as if you were sitting on your couch. After a free 30-day unlimited trial of Tablo, there is an optional, small subscription fee -- ranging from $5/month to $150/lifetime -- that gives you all the features. Or you can opt to still use the device for free, with just its basic features.
Different Internet Service Providers, known as I.S.P.s, have different tiers. The various streaming services make different recommendations — typically available on their individual sites — as to the minimum requirements that allow their content to look sharp and run smoothly on different devices. Averaging their recommendations out, you'll probably want to make sure that you have a minimum 4 Mb/s (that's megabyte per second) connection, which, be warned, isn't available in some of the more rural areas of the United States.
FuboTV is a live online streaming service that specializes in providing sports programming. Though they also offer a selection of regular TV programming, they provide live streaming of games in the MLB, NFL, NHL and NBA, as well as major college sports and international sporting events. For $34.99 per month the service offers access to 68 channels. FuboTV is also offering a one-week free trial so that you can check out the service.
Did you know that there are over 300,000 home service providers operating in neighborhoods across America? Our system searches hundreds of millions of rows of data to calculate whether or not each service provider will be available in your area. We examine every street, city, and zip code in the country, so that we can display the most accurate results and you can make the most informed decision. Whether you need to find the fastest internet in your area, save money on your cable bill, get a home security system, or set up utilities at your new place - we've made it our mission to bring you the best results. Sit back, relax, and let us do the heavy lifting for you. All you have to do is choose which provider you prefer!
Even your wireless router can affect video performance. Older routers may be slower or use only one frequency band, which can lead to interference from baby monitors, cordless phones, and even microwaves. Newer dual-band routers have two bands—2.4 GHz and 5 GHz—to provide you with a second option. If there are dead zones in your home where WiFi doesn't reach, routers that create a mesh network could help.
An HD antenna won't give you all of the channels you would have access to if you purchased a cable subscription. However, it will increase the number of channels you can watch on local TV. And the one-time cost (as opposed to an ongoing monthly fee) means you'll save money. It can be another attractive feature of using antennas to expand your viewing choices.
When we went through the ordering process for Spectrum and got all the way to the check-out, we realized we never got to choose which DVR we wanted. Spectrum offers both Motorola and Cisco DVRs (neither of which stand out from competitor DVRs like the Genie or Hopper 3), and as far as we can tell, you get whichever one Spectrum decides to send you.
Their ESPN and ESPN2 are already available with their CHOICE package and above, but if that's not enough, you can subscribe to their Sports Pack add-on ($13.99/month). This gives you access to 30 regional sports networks, like the MLB Network Strike Zone and Outdoor Channel. You also get specialty sports channels that cover fly-fishing and horse racing, as well as international soccer.
These days, premium channels availability is one of the biggest perks of having a good cable TV subscription. Ever watched some of the blockbusters shows on HBO®, SHOWTIME® or CINEMAX®? If you have, then you know what we're talking about! These 'screen treats' can keep you hooked to your television for hours on end. And that's a pretty solid guarantee if you put much stock in them. But not all TV vendors provide premium channels in their plan catalogs. So before signing up, you need to know the right kinds of cable companies in your area. The ones that won't let you down when you're really craving that upcoming episode of Game of Thrones. Or whichever TV series that you're currently infatuated with.
Most cord cutters seem to focus on TV as cord cutting and not home Internet. Yet there is a growing trend toward not only cutting the cable TV bill but also the cable Internet bill. Almost every day someone asks how to lower their Internet bill or if they can use their cellphone for home Internet. The good news is there is a growing push to help you cut the cord on home Internet.
Although early (VHF) television receivers could receive 12 channels (2–13), the maximum number of channels that could be broadcast in one city was 7: channels 2, 4, either 5 or 6, 7, 9, 11 and 13, as receivers at the time were unable to receive strong (local) signals on adjacent channels without distortion. (There were frequency gaps between 4 and 5, and between 6 and 7, which allowed both to be used in the same city).
Depending on the service, you may find that not everyone in your household will be able to use it at the same time. Every streaming service we've reviewed has some limits on the number of separate devices that can be streaming content at the same time. For example, Sling TV's Orange plan, $20 per month, allows for only one user at a time. The pricier Blue service, $25, allows access for three simultaneous users; adding a fourth user boosts the price to $40.
A TV package may be cheap, but if it doesn't include the channels you want, is it worth any money at all? To sift through channel line-ups, we set a base level expectation for what we should receive when paying for standard packages. We compared available channels in entry-level plans, highlighting when a provider doesn't reserve popular channels for upper-tier packages and giving bonus points to those that offer customizable programming or deals for bundling with other services.
We ran into a weird issue when we tried pausing a live stream. It let us pause our show (because when you gotta go, you gotta go), but when we tried to resume and pushed play, the app skipped us ahead to the live stream. We ran into this problem only with live streams and not with on-demand shows and movies, We're hoping this issue goes away when the cloud DVR feature launches, We'll see. Right now it makes for a somewhat buggy experience.
Some of AT&T U-verse's channels may not be what you expect. With almost 80 music channels and a smattering of lesser-viewed channels, like Hot Buy and Jewelry Television, the listed number of channels feels a little overhyped. But this doesn't mean you can't get your favorites: Carefully compare packages to ensure you're getting the programming you and your family want.
With the online service, students get most new titles simultaneously with their premiere on the networks; the ability to create a "Watchlist" that keeps track of bookmarked content for later viewing; bonus content including interviews, recaps, and behind-the-scenes extras; and customizable views showing titles in slideshow, grid or list format. In addition, HBO GO® can be personalized through a "Series Pass®" capability which automatically alerts viewers to new episodes of favorite HBO programs when they arrive on the service.
Since it's your hard-earned currency on the line, this question is important. You shouldn't go subscribing to just about any of the cable TV providers in your area. Because believe it or not, that's how some of the biggest scams take place. With clever 'service' people taking advantage of their customers. And charging great sums for the most basic of TV packages. On this site, we only deal with the most credible cable TV, internet and home phone vendors in America. And so if you make your subscriptions through us, you can remain assured of fully secure service. One which delivers on quality, reliability, and high levels of value at all times. And every time! But if you're a little skeptical, why don't you pick up the phone and call? The time to have some 'TV fun' is now!
Some seven years ago, we ditched the typical landline phone line. Cut that cord right in two. Being a physician on call about 10 to 12 nights a month, I didn't want to be without a backup to the cell phone, and we don't love giving out our cell phone numbers for everything, so we kept our home number. We picked up an Ooma box, ported the number, and have kept that number to this day, despite moving to a new state twice in the interim.
If you don't feel like paying exorbitant cable or satellite fees, but still crave the sweet pablum of basic cable programming, you can always try a cable-replacement service. These online streaming subscriptions deliver live (and on-demand) channels over the internet, and while they're not cheap, they're not as hellaciously expensive as traditional cable or satellite fees. If streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Video aren't enough for you, read on to find out how you can reintroduce live TV into your home without signing your life away to an onerous cable contract.
If you're purchasing satellite TV, a professional will come to your home and set up a dish on the roof or balcony. This installation process tends to take longer than it would for cable or fiber TV because of the large equipment that's required. You can expect the installer to be at your home for several hours, whereas cable installation typically only takes 1-3 hours. Take advantage of that time by asking any questions you might have about how your new TV connection works. The installer will be happy to help! DIRECTV installation comes free with all of the provider's packages. Many customers can even opt for next-day installation. However, if you want to start watching your favorite shows before your installation process, with DIRECTV you can! As soon as your order has been confirmed, you can log into the DIRECTV app and start watching from your mobile device. The installation process for cable or fiber TV will be relatively easy if your home already has a cable or fiber connection from past service.
Many plans include extra fees in addition to the monthly price of your TV package that are either one-time or recurring. Some, like installation and equipment fees, are pretty standard, while others, like broadcast or HD fees, are a little more unusual. Always check with a sales representative and review the fine print so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Now there are some things about Tablo TV I need to get used to. When I bring up the app on the Roku box, I oddly have to remind it every time which Tablo TV box I'm tapping -- even though I only have one. And when I go to watch live TV, it takes a good 20-to-25 seconds to load each channel. This makes channel surfing rather impossible, especially when I have to return to the Live TV menu first before selecting another channel. And I've also had several scheduled recordings not record because the reception was too weak, according to the error message. As I mentioned, that's a problem with our home and not Tablo.
Sometimes, a simple street-block or city-intersection can present a challenge. Because when you look at your location closely, you may not find your favorite company listed there. But that doesn't mean that you can't get by on some decent service! In fact, it's in tricky situations like these that we truly become your knights in shining armor. And we take a great deal of pride in dishing out some much-needed TV satisfaction to our callers. By getting through to us, you'll discover all the cable providers in your area. Not only that, but you'll also be told upfront of any short-timed promotions that you can avail. In this way, you can take comfort in the fact that you've been connected with the best TV deals. The ones that fit all your entertainment requirements just perfectly!
One of my personal favorites is Amazon Prime, which gives you access to thousands of free TV shows, movies, and documentaries, and there are thousands of other movies and shows available on a pay per view basis. There is a monthly fee to use Amazon Prime, but it is much more than just a TV subscription as you can also get free 2-day shipping from Amazon, borrow Kindle books for free, and more – all for less than $8 a month (Amazon Prime is one of the best deals in the tech world, in my opinion!).
Most of the time, it's not difficult to find deals on TV packages. Common deals providers offer include discounts on services, Visa® Prepaid Cards, and free premium channels. Though most deals are advertised on providers' websites, it's a good idea to call and ask a sales representative if there are any additional deals not offered online. On the other hand, some deals are online exclusives and might not be honored if you order service over the phone.
There are now only two choices—down from five—for new subscribers: The $50-a-month DirecTV Now Plus plan has about 40 channels, and the $70-a-month DirecTV Now Max has about 50 channels, plus Cinemax and a number of sports channels, including regional sports. Both plans now include HBO, which had been a $5-a-month add-on. You get a free cloud DVR with 20 hours of free storage, and two users can stream at the same time. You can get a third simultaneous stream for an extra $5 more a month.
When you get home after a long & tiring day, nothing cheers you up like some quality TV-time, right? This is important if you want to get back on your feet again, fighting & strong. But to attain this service, you first need to list down all the cable TV providers in your area. Because how else would you know where to turn to? Or which company suits your budgetary requirements the most? Well fortunately for you, VisiOneClick does away with all this hassle! By using this web platform, you can easily learn about all operational TV service providers in your area. And what's more, you'll also get 'best fit' package and vendor recommendations fully customized for you. So if you want to start your cable TV subscription journey the right way, CALL NOW @ 1-866-200-9222!
If sports is your primary TV watching concern, FuboTV is a name you'll want to remember. With FuboTV, you'll get 90+ live entertainment and sports channels starting at $44.99 a month with access to their niche sports selection and sports local programming. If you choose this cable alternative, you'll get free Cloud DVR and three-day replay for nearly any game or recently aired movie. Plus, for an additional $6 a month, you can add Family Share so three people can watch different channels at the same time. There are tons of other add-ons available, but these are FuboTV's most basic packages:
The different types of television available to you will vary by location. For the most part, cable TV can be delivered through 3 different types of connections: wired, satellite, or online streaming. A wired cable connection delivers all of the shows that you love through copper and fiber-optic cables that are strung along telephone poles or buried underground. The second option for cable TV delivery is a satellite connection. This is a great choice for rural residents, as telephone lines and underground cables are limited in remote locations. Satellite TV is also a great option in highly populated areas, thanks to its widespread availability, diverse channel offerings, and competitive pricing. The last option for watching cable TV is through online streaming. TV streaming has become popular due to the rise of streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Now. Many of the nation's top cable TV providers now offer streaming services in their packages, so you can get all of the shows that you want. Whatever it is that you need, we're here to make sure you find the best TV provider and plan that fits your budget and preferences.
It's not just the price of the DVR that bums us out—the total price of Cox's TV service is higher than other cable TV providers. By the time we got to check out, we were looking at monthly DVR service fees and receiver fees, as well as an installation fee.. And that did NOT include the broadcast surcharge, regional sports surcharge, or "other fees." We didn't even get any of the add-ons ("paks"), which range from $10.00 a month to $15.99 a month.
Most of these plans have different levels and options, depending on which plan you sign up for. My personal favorites for movies and documentaries include Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. If you want to watch more on-demand network television, then you may be better off going with Hulu. Hulu Plus and Hulu Live allow you to stream live network shows, including sports and other live events. You can compare Hulu and Hulu Plus in this review.
Another major advantage of the PlayOn app is the DVR feature, which comes with the paid version of the app ($69.99 for a lifetime license, $7.99 monthly, or $30 annually). The upgraded version allows you to record and save videos from any of their channels, and the saved content can then be watched offline, or streamed to media servers and other devices compatible with the PlayOn App.
A TV package may be cheap, but if it doesn't include the channels you want, is it worth any money at all? To sift through channel line-ups, we set a base level expectation for what we should receive when paying for standard packages. We compared available channels in entry-level plans, highlighting when a provider doesn't reserve popular channels for upper-tier packages and giving bonus points to those that offer customizable programming or deals for bundling with other services.
I've found Sling TV to not offer competitive package. I was an early user and subscriber for a couple of years. However, I felt that I was able to get a basic cable package with what Sling offered. I also had major buffering issues with Sling, especially when a season premiere or big episode of a popular show was being shown. This year, I searched my options for alternative streaming options. I tried Playstation Vue, but, I found them price-y and did not offer Viacom channels. With a majority of channel apps offering episodes of new tv shows within 24 hours, I do not feel it is really necessarily to have a DVR option. Currently, I am with Directv Now and I've been extremely happy with them. I have not had the buffering issues other people have had. I only had buffering when watching NBC. Other than that, I save money on the cheapest package and a movie channel (Live a Little package and HBO) with more channels than what's out there for $40. I was fortunate to sign up when they were offering free, latest Apple TV. Looking forward to when there is an app on Roku so I can watch tv in bed! Btw, in case anyone is wondering, I do use Comcast for internet services on the cheapest option available with no buffering issues.
Some people make the assumption that cable or satellite TV limits you to watching live programming from your television set at home. However, most of the nation's largest TV providers offer SO much more than that. Seriously, the perks are endless. Let's say you're Drew. Drew watches all sorts of different networks: sports, reality TV, sitcoms, HBO, you name it. He also hates dealing with commercials. Every Friday Drew has a movie night with friends and family, so he wants lots of on demand options. He travels often and likes to watch TV on his tablet in the hotel room while he's away. Sometimes he misses his favorite premieres while he's on the road. So what can a TV package do for Drew?

Most cable companies require a set-top box to view their cable channels, even on newer televisions with digital cable QAM tuners, because most digital cable channels are now encrypted, or "scrambled", to reduce cable service theft. A cable from the jack in the wall is attached to the input of the box, and an output cable from the box is attached to the television, usually the RF-IN or composite input on older TVs. Since the set-top box only decodes the single channel that is being watched, each television in the house requires a separate box. Some unencrypted channels, usually traditional over-the-air broadcast networks, can be displayed without a receiver box.[1] The cable company will provide set top boxes based on the level of service a customer purchases, from basic set top boxes with a standard definition picture connected through the standard coaxial connection on the TV, to high-definition wireless DVR receivers connected via HDMI or component. Older analog television sets are "cable ready" and can receive the old analog cable without a set-top box. To receive digital cable channels on an analog television set, even unencrypted ones, requires a different type of box, a digital television adapter supplied by the cable company. A new distribution method that takes advantage of the low cost high quality DVB distribution to residential areas, uses TV gateways to convert the DVB-C, DVB-C2 stream to IP for distribution of TV over IP network in the home.
I have been thinking and talking about getting rid of cable for years. Initially the motivation was to have more time, but when I started watching my expenses and saving for retirement, the $50/month bill started to bug me. Every time I try to do it, however, a show that I like to watch starts a new season – Master Chef, Top Chef, Survivor. (Clearly I'm a reality tv fan.) I think I might have finally accepted that I'm just always going to have tv, and that is okay.

We think it's worth the upgrade to the Hopper though, because along with all the other awesome Hopper features, DISH has integrated Amazon Alexa voice commands into its DVR experience. No longer must you sift through the couch-cushion chasms to find your lost remote. You can simply tell Alexa to turn on This Is Us and cry your eyes out with the rest of us.
By comparison, traditional TV providers face a huge risk in diverging from the status quo. Just look at what's happening with DirecTV and Dish Network: Both companies dove headfirst into streaming with DirecTV Now and Sling TV respectively, yet those services aren't drawing enough subscribers to compensate for the hundreds of thousands of customers now fleeing satellite TV every quarter.
Satellite providers like DISH and DIRECTV host service in all 50 states. The only clear differentiator between satellite and cable TV, is that satellite requires a dish on your roof. Unlike the slow speeds that come with satellite internet service, there are no restrictions on your television service. In fact, both DISH and DIRECTV offer a vast range of channels and exclusive sports packages like NFL Fantasy Zone and MLB Network Strike Zone.
Diagram of a modern hybrid fiber-coaxial cable television system. At the regional headend, the TV channels are sent multiplexed on a light beam which travels through optical fiber trunklines, which fan out from distribution hubs to optical nodes in local communities. Here the light signal from the fiber is translated to a radio frequency electrical signal, which is distributed through coaxial cable to individual subscriber homes.
Cable, from providers such as XFINITY, Spectrum and Cox, is likely available in your area. DSL is another commonly available internet service, from providers including AT&T, Verizon and Frontier. Fiber technology is available primarily in select metro areas and include providers such as CenturyLink and AT&T. Rural areas will likely have the fewest internet options and may only be eligible for satellite internet providers such as HughesNet. Use Allconnect to find out which internet options are available in your area.
Cox : Similar to Xfinity, Cox offers several bundled Internet + TV packages that are constantly changing, so it's best to visit the official site and see what's available. Plans start from as low as $44.99/month, to $129.99/ month. For that price range you'll find packages with internet speeds ranging from 15 Mbps to 300 Mbps, coupled with TV plans that have 75+ to 250+ channels.
Yeah, I just realized this MNF is Saints and Falcons, and being a Saints fan, I'll "have" to try and make it out to at least see the first half of that one. CU Buffaloes are about as close as I could get to having a "big NCAA team" to root for in football. Although, WKU has gotten some tv time recently albeit only to get walloped, but I did give them a fair amount of money before transferring to CO. And Mines – well they're great at engineering but Division II doesn't get much air play, lol.
Streaming: If you have a smart TV, media streamer box or stick (Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Google Chromecast, Apple TV, etc.), or smart Blu-ray Disc player, and subscribe to an internet service, you can access TV program and movie content without an antenna or cable/satellite service. Popular streaming services include Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Crackle, Vudu, and YouTube.
There are two major types of antennas - indoor types, which are placed inside your home next to your TV set, and outdoor antennas, which are mounted on the roof. Generally, outdoor antennas will have better reception and give a clearer picture. However, if you live in a strategic location close to the broadcast towers, you can still get a good signal even with an indoor antenna.
A LATA (local access and transport area) is a term in the U.S. for a geographic area covered by one or more local telephone companies, which are legally referred to as local exchange carriers (LECs). A connection between two local exchanges within the same LATA is referred to as IntraLATA. A connection between two exchanges within different LATA is referred to as InterLATA. Nebraska currently has four Local Access Transport Areas.
Usually, the apps themselves are free. However, some networks offer paid subscription options to access certain shows or old episodes. But that doesn't mean the cost isn't potentially reasonable, depending on how many shows you may watch. For example, CBS All Access is available for as little as $5.99 per month (plus tax), which isn't bad in comparison to the cost of cable.
Cable, from providers such as XFINITY, Spectrum and Cox, is likely available in your area. DSL is another commonly available internet service, from providers including AT&T, Verizon and Frontier. Fiber technology is available primarily in select metro areas and include providers such as CenturyLink and AT&T. Rural areas will likely have the fewest internet options and may only be eligible for satellite internet providers such as HughesNet. Use Allconnect to find out which internet options are available in your area.
DISH also has the best DVR available. The Hopper 3 Smart DVR lets you record up to 16 shows at once, and you can record 2 ½ times more HD content (500 hours) than the Genie from DIRECTV (200 hours). However, keep in mind that the advertised package price doesn't include the DVR price. You'll have to pay an extra $10 per month for the Hopper and an additional $5–$10 per month for each added receiver.
Sling TV is one of the better value options out there, because you can get a lot of the most popular channels for only $25 a month. However, if you're a binge-watcher, you'll love Hulu with Live TV's huge on-demand library, which currently has 10 full seasons of Adventure Time (aww yeah homies!). YouTube TV is great, but it may not be available in your area just yet.
By comparison, traditional TV providers face a huge risk in diverging from the status quo. Just look at what's happening with DirecTV and Dish Network: Both companies dove headfirst into streaming with DirecTV Now and Sling TV respectively, yet those services aren't drawing enough subscribers to compensate for the hundreds of thousands of customers now fleeing satellite TV every quarter.
The comments about Spectrum DVRs are not accurate based on our experience. We have Spectrum (previously Time Warner) and our DVR allows us to record 4 channels simultaneously (not 2) while watching a fifth channel. Also, our DVR can store substantially more than 21 hours of HD content as the review claims. I'm only guessing, but I'm sure we are able to store at least 100 hours of content. Overall, we've been satisfied with the Gold package. There are lots of channels including premium channels (HBO, Showtime, NFL Network, etc.) and there are decent mobile viewing capabilities. The Spectrum app allows you to watch all content and manage DVR settings when you're connected to your home Wi-Fi. Substantially fewer channels are available on the Spectrum app when accessed via the internet; however, this is shortfall can largely be made up by downloading the apps for individual channels such as HBO Go, Show Anytime, Max Go, etc. On the negative side, Spectrum is expensive and the internet speeds never measure up to what they advertise. Instead of getting 100Mbps we get about 50 down/35 up. In fairness, most people I talk to all seem to have the same complaint about their service provider. And, of course, the customer service generally stinks.
Clearly, the current model of inflicting higher prices on a shrinking subscriber base is not sustainable, but it's hard to see the traditional TV business—including both cable providers and networks—changing their ways until they have nothing left to lose. I can't say exactly when that's going to happen. But if history's any guide, it'll probably be sooner than they expect.
The abbreviation CATV is often used for cable television. It originally stood for Community Access Television or Community Antenna Television, from cable television's origins in 1948. In areas where over-the-air TV reception was limited by distance from transmitters or mountainous terrain, large "community antennas" were constructed, and cable was run from them to individual homes. The origins of cable broadcasting for radio are even older as radio programming was distributed by cable in some European cities as far back as 1924.[citation needed]
Internet speeds vary by type of internet, location and ISP provider. The fastest internet speeds come with fiber internet from providers such as AT&T, Verizon and CenturyLink, and can reach up to 1,000 Mbps or higher. Unfortunately, these speeds are only available in select markets for now. That means cable internet and DSL internet providers are the best choice for most internet users in the U.S. who need high-speed internet plans.
Before you buy an antenna, use this tool from the FCC to see where local stations are broadcasting from. This will help you know what kind of range you need to look for with your antenna. If you don't purchase a strong enough antenna, you might not be able to watch certain channels. Also, these are only broadcast channels, so be warned that you won't be able to watch your cable favorites with OTA TV.
Chromecast: Android and Chrome Browser users will love the easy streaming options provided by Chromecast. This $35 HD streaming stick hides behind your TV and has native integrations with Netflix, YouTube, HBO Go, Hulu, and many other services. A 4k version is available for $69. In addition to natively supported services, Chromecast can be voice controlled with a Google Home. You can stream literally anything that works on the web with the Chrome browser "cast" button. Also cast your screen from modern Android phones right to your TV. I personally use a Chromecast on both of my TVs.
Streaming TV service Sling offers an impressive list of channels without cable on your TV, SlingBox, Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast, Xbox One, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, laptop, phone, or other internet connected device through Sling Television. The $40 per month Orange + Blue plan includes ESNP and NFL Network, along with many other channels such as Fox, Fox Sports, NBC, NBC SN, and ESPN2.
The best way to pick the right TV package is to first set your budget. Next, ask yourself which channels you'd like to be included in your package. Most providers offer a similar set of core channels for every plan. With each plan upgrade, the provider adds either more HD or premium channels to justify the added cost. Some of these channels may be foreign networks that you can't normally get in the U.S. or even commercial-free movie channels. None of us want our favorite movie to be interrupted by an annoying commercial break. Most providers also offer access to On-Demand libraries filled with hundreds or even thousands of titles for you to enjoy at any time. Make sure to check out the free perks included in your chosen package. For example, Spectrum gives its subscribers free HD channels on some of its plans. Premium packages from Spectrum also include movie channels like HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, TMC, and STARZ, as well as the NFL Network and NFL Redzone at no extra cost. Now that's what we call a deal!

Don't buy a robot floor cleaner that has smaller batteries in terms of mAh.

Vacuum cleaners with HEPA or (High-Efficiency Particulate Air Filter) are perfect for those who have pets in their homes. HEPA filter grabs all the allergens, hair, and the small dust particles like a PRO. Check for a filter before you buy a vacuum cleaner.

Can't see it myself as PNG is a de-fecto standard file type
@ogreofwart. In several threads, and at the Meetups, it has been confirmed that 24 bit and 32 bit PNGs will be required file format.
It is also worth mentioning that for those of you who have a Mac, you already have the app Preview.
Preview can open and manipulate over 28 file formats, many of which can ben converted to PNGs. When you choose Export hold down the Option key and all the file format options will be revealed. If the original is a vector-based logo or illustration the vectors will be retained, so you can resize without loss of quality.
The list is too long to post here, so I put it in a separate thread so others may find it too: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/76342/convert-graphics-to-png-on-mac-with-preview?new=1
Thanks for that info, its good to know were not all constricted to one particular format for our game usage.
I myself use Windows but can bear this knowledge in mind in the future.
I am now just looking forward to seeing the new Marketplace and us all being bigger and better.
The new Graphene project is also very intriguing and I will be looking forward to seeing what that will do too.
Yep. Lots of money going other places right now.
Blip... waits for reboot.
This is odd!!
I got an email about an hour ago saying I that uploading onto the Marketplace has stopped.
This as far as I know has been the case since December.
Is it an incredibly slow notification or does it mean somethings happening with MarKet II ?
Has anybody else had this message?
The upload process is the biggest problem I think. It takes way to much time and it's just painful uploading to the marketplace. I hope you guys took feedback from sellers. Also finding what your looking for can be difficult. If you guys fix these problems I think the marketplace will thrive.
Previously they announced that they were not taking new Market Place members. Now they are not currently taking market place member submissions. It's on hold for everyone.
I think the latest email is a tell-tale sign that we are about to see an update. That being said, I hope the update planning was well in progress before the announcement. Nothing I dislike more than a "please stand by" update that takes months. We bust out system wide major site updates each week (tied to a huge live database tied to audio, video, billings, the works). Not using that as a way to belittle GS, but somethings are taking so long it is making my head hurt.
We will just have to be patient @RP the powers that be know best.
Calm yourself now, and take one of those special tiny pills the doctor gave you. Stop Growling!!
Yeah I think things might be moving too, lets hope its soon, my fingers are itching to get some more artwork up for grabs
I'm here again with money trying to look though the marketplace.
Please ban sellers who abuse the tag system. (LIving in the Cloud LLC im looking at you)
Please put in a better tag system. I say look at the GameMaker Market Place and do better.
2d tags, Animated tags, 3d, topdown, etc, etc....
Please please junk the sloppy stuff thats filling this marketplace up. There is good, decent and sloppy spam. The Marketplace would do well to lose the fluff.
I'll be back in a few weeks if I don't find anything (get sick of looking) tonight.
Looking forward to this feature as well...
Any set date for the new marketplace to be back up,i have so much great art assets to post!!
Any update is appreciated. I would like to start selling assets.
According to "The State of the GameSalad"....here is number 7
"New marketplace. Nothing new to report here. Work is still being done on this front and I'll let you guys know when I hear more!"
Dear GS....market place has been down for months now....any progress? There has been no real updates on this for so long.....please help us. Thanks
Nothing new. Very sad((
It's strange the MP couldn't have been going on as usual...I mean it's still up and running so it's not like it's shut down to be making changes to it. I would think they would be giving us ideas on how the new MP will function or maybe there is no plan other than to just shut it down and reboot. Which would not entirely be a bad thing there is way to much stuff in there that appear to be assets for the sake of the seller.
I'd personally like to see something similar to the enveto market. Now that's a real marketplace. Ratings...categories...new release by dates. It's not like a burst balloon on a floor. Lol.
Look forward to it cuz with no 3rd party advertising allowed unless you know...you don't know.
Hope its got all the bells and whistles and is going to be worth the wait because we made DBM in a day :P

Yep, it's taking an phenomenal amount of time !? If you go far back as early September 2014 the message is 'New marketplace. Great progress still being made here' - and that was 8 months ago !! I'm sure the Marketplace might be a little more complex to set up than some other websites, but I can't see how it could take a year !
Maybe the drawn out delay of the new marketplace is nothing to do with an actual code implementation... Maybe it's that ugly old GS issue of internal company politics holding it up. Maybe Mr Felter can't decide, chose a half arsed system or keeps changing his mind on which marketplace model to choose.. Wouldn't be the first time decisions from the top cost GS a lot of time or money, only to be scrapped or re-implemented.
So it might not just be a simple case of the coders/web team knocking out a competent marketplace in a reasonable time. I'm guessing there's more to it behind the scenes.. that's responsible for the lengthy delay!
I can't see why png is considered defacto. CSS could be used with much more efficiency, due to it not having any 'weight' and next to zero load times. Unless all CSS is converted to png upon export? But I can't see a company making such a horrible decision in regards to their customer base.

I'm rather confused. PNG is an image format. CSS is a stylesheet language for web pages. Why (or perhaps a better question is "how") would we make CSS the standard image format for GameSalad assets?
If this is truly HTML compliant, CSS shapes can be used instead of a lot of the images used. A lot of games made through this are 'basic' with 'basic' images. For example, take an endless runner with 2-3 colors. 1 color for floor and ceiling, 1 color for character, 1 color for spinning gears. Backgrounds too. Those could be created using CSS instead of png, freeing up that much more space and load times. I don't know 'how' to make it easy to use, but I did come across a template recently that utilized CSS for color and shapes (just like a website, since every device is HTML compliant). Maybe put out a call to advanced users to see how it was done.
Yes, CSS is a style sheet, technically, but has become the way to create shapes and most colors for HTML instead of PNG. It has greatly reduced loading times and site sizes.
Just wanted to point that our engine and most native engines do not (except the html5 engine) consume html/css and that html is slow to parse compared to lua or other formats for shape data.
