    Roku's VOD service

    The biggest difference between M-Go and Vudu is resolution. Vudu delivers 1080p and M-Go delivers 720p for the same money. Neither Roku or Vizio owns any part of M-Go, they both accepted money to feature the service on their products. Posted Via The SatelliteGuys Reader App!

    Upset with Directv's VOD Service.

    The title is available to rent until 2/1. Once you download it, you have 24 hours to watch it. I don't know if it's always been like this or not, but 4 years ago (or so) I got screwed on VOD rental for a djfferentand reason and have never gotten another one. Sent from my Thunderbolt using...

    SiriusXM Introduces SiriusXM 2.0

    You remember right. Lifetime subscriptions are not transferable to 2.0 devices. Sent from my iPad using Forum Runner

    SiriusXM Introduces SiriusXM 2.0

    After all the hype about Satellite Radio 2.0, this is it? Man, what a letdown. With Spotify for deep playlists and Pandora for radio like automation, I'm really beginning to question my subscription to XM. I have systematically removed a radio from my account at each price increase. When...

    Why I'm switching to Sprint!

    And that's fine for you if you do that. Not everyone can just drop their smartphone plans and go to flip phones. A $300 cell phone bill is a choice, and for some (me) it's the only choice that they can make. Sent from my iPad using Forum Runner

    Why I'm switching to Sprint!

    I gotta question the prices that you are quoting for VZW. I'm on a VZW family share plan with 5 smart phones, 5 unlimited data plans, unlimited text messaging for all 5 and a plain old cell phone thrown in to boot. My monthly cost before discount is something like $350, like $310 after...

    DIRECTV to Introduce NOMAD tomorrow

    I'm going to buy a Vulkano, but the Nomad will have a place in my media center as well. I camp a lot and end up spending time in all sorts of weird places where streaming isn't an option. Load a few movies or shows from my D* DVR on the iPad and head out to the woods? Sure, I'd pay $150 for the...

    New Customer Install: 30 Day Grace Period?

    You just got installed on 9/15 so you got Sunday Ticket for free, but you want to walk away from that because of the MNF stream on the $10 a month VZW app? You may not realize this, but that stream from VZW sucks more often than it doesn't. You're tied to only streaming on their network which...

    SatelliteGuys Review: Logitech Revue with GoogleTV – A Diamond in the Rough

    My Revue can't search my DirecTV recordings and it can't set a recording for me, but I don't blame the Revue. That's squarely on D* and what they allow to control their DVR and what they don't. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Dreamworks and HBO deals with Netflix

    Not any more. They used to have some things available, like Deadwood and the first few seasons of the Sopranos, but HBO Go has replaced Netflix streaming. Showtime also will pull their content at the end of September or October, I forget which. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    No Plan to add TruTv Hd etc.

    I'd like to have DIY, NatGeo Wild and BBC America in HD, but I'm not leaving D* to get them. I'm a pretty happy customer and as a Colts fan living in the Cincinnati market I'd rarely get to see my team play if I moved to Dish. I'd like for every channel that is available in HD to be broadcast...

    Overly aggressive D* sales

    Actually, it isn't. Best Buy doesn't pay their people commission. Sent from my iPad using SatelliteGuys

    Overly aggressive D* sales

    I walk right past the D* salesperson and don't even acknowledge their existence. It's the same thing I've done to Best Buy employees for a while. I'm sick of having one employee watch me tell another that I am fine and then walking up right behind them and asking me if I need help. I think their...
