Please accept my apologizes for usability disruption caused by a difficult software update that began October 14. During the evening of October 16, a failed attempt to deploy a phpBB extension (i.e. feature add-on) caused the site to crash. This necessitated restoration of the site and of the database using backup copies that were approximately 36 hours old. As a result, many posts from October 15 and October 16 have been lost.

New Feature - you can edit Board Preferences --> Global Settings within your User Control Panel to increase the Buzzboard's font size on your PC, mobile device, or both! You can access your User Control Panel upon login or by visiting this link:

Is anyone experiencing bizarre error messages when trying to use the mibuzzboard.com URL directly? If so, please report the issue here:

Xfinity is offering Peacock Premium for free to certain subscribers

A place to discuss broadband, streaming video, cable, and satellite services (not programming). Bitch about your crappy cable, satellite or streaming video provider here! This is also the place to talk about channel line-ups, packages, and special offers.

Cable providers are starting to negotiate access to streaming services for their subscribers in lieu of the countless throw away cable networks that air shows on loop. A lot of these channels are on borrowed time.

It really is a wasteland. It seemed like there was more to watch when there was only 40 or 50 channels. Who knew MORE choice would be a bad thing?

Until recently, Xfinity subscribers had Peacock Premium (which Comcast owns) available at no extra charge. I didn't then (or now) find any of its content compelling enough to view when it was free, and then zero desire to pay for it. Also, the Peacock app on the Xfinity X1 box was (might still be) awful. Took a few minutes just to load, and the user interface did not respond well at all using the X1 remote. I might be eligible for this "rewards" offer, but don't think I'll bite.
