I hear you with the football.
As long as I get the local games, I'm a happy camper. My Dad does the package because he watches a bunch of teams play.

I was thinking about prime though I never got it. Tried Netflix for awhile and ended up dropping it. I like TV more than movies. That's why SlingTV and Hulu worked out perfect for me. Also at night I just like to channel surf not watching anything in particular, SlingTV is prefect for doing that. They have a 7 day free trial if you want to give it a whirl.

Yea, I could see the cable providers complaining if they started to see people moving to internet based services in mass.
I think Apple collecting taxes has to do with California. I know in PA I have to report on my State taxes what I bought on the internet so that they can tax me.
I'll guess we'll have to see what happens. All that I know is that right now I'm saving a crap ton of money with SlingTV. Not sure what you have, but it's worth a try. I've got the Roku stick 2016 edition and it's great. SlingTV combined with Hulu and I haven't missed anything.

I realize that. But tax implications if the gov started taxing broadcasts over internet would affect the Prime subscription rate along with other broadcast providers normal rates. Amazon, along with other services, would have a vested interest in preventing the gov from taxing such services IMO.

Cable cutters everywhere who purchased the SlingTV service woke up to a surprise this morning. SlingTV added NBC and a bunch of other channels. One of my biggest complaints about the service was the lack of main broadcast channels. Now with the addition of NBC, real change is here. Now I can get NBC, ABC, and FOX on the service. CBS is the only holdout.
I was paying $170 a month for cable TV. Of that $170, $27 was taxes. When I cancelled my cable my monthly charge dropped to $50 a month for internet.
My plan on SlingTV costs $35 a month. There a no taxes.

What do you love about Jamroom 5 right now?
Off Topic
Everything. Jamroom is the best price for features you can get in a CMS. Added, the developers are open to ideas and fix issues quickly.

Thanks!
jimmyk:In regards to the ACP multi-language - might want to bump that up because the Chinese, Russian, and Indian markets are huge.
Just to be sure - I'm only talking about the dashboard - not the ACP. The ACP has literally thousands of language strings, so there's no plans to change that. It would also create a support headache on this end.jimmyk:For what you offer for the price, you'd be a hit in those regions - especially with Proxima. Which is something that should be promoted more because it's a mobile app centric world.
Yep - there's a couple of things we need to get into Proxima and the plan is to begin advertising/promoting it, as it has a very clear target audience and value proposition.Thanks!
Yea, I guess that would create a support mess! I was thinking the ACP, but I guess you could work on that down the road when you had so many users that people from non-English speaking countries started to complain.
Proxima is so huge. That's one on the golden gems IMO. You were smart to make that part of JR's ecosystem and once developers learn about it, you're going to be very popular.

Would it be easier to have the option to just to kick out 1 generic error for all errors in the public view. Honestly, that's all I would need. Have it display a site maintenance page. I think most people would opt for a site maintenance page over translation of every error. A site maintenance page / string is what I'm going to use for every error anyway. IPB has a html file they include in the root that just displays that the site is offline where there is an error type that prevents the site from being displayed... that method works for me.
That's not a bad idea - we'd just need to make sure the error is logged somewhere so we can assist if needed.Would it be easier to have the option to just to kick out 1 generic error for all errors in the public view.

I thought all errors were logged? Anyway, just having that simple page would work perfect for me.

Since core is open source, people in those regions could totally start using JR as their core for simple sites which just need a login system, etc. Look at the top script sales in the PHP script category on Codecanyon.net
1. AJAX Contact Form 6888 sales @ $4
2. AJAX Contact Form 6293 sales @ $6
3. Contact Form Generator 5469 sales @ $14
4. Booking System
5. PHP Login & User Management 4259 sales @ $27
Focusing on those features could be key to getting people into JR.
