Show notes

See more of my CableCARD related content: http://lon.tv/dvr2017 - The FCC lifted their requirement that CableCARDs be made available in 2020.

We Need to Talk About the Future of the Weekly Wrapup Show Jun 29, 2022

Show notes

The Weekly Wrapup show has changed a lot over the years and it's time to rethink it again based on its performance. The videos generally perform poorly vs. my regular content and I'd love to get your feedback on what you'd like to see in the future. Perhaps we stop doing it on a weekly basis and only when the right topics present themselves? I'd love your feedback.
