The problem with the guide freezing and restarting seems to have cleared up. It was probably just because it was so new. I remember that with the satellite service it took a while for the guide to be fully populated.

I came into a little extra money and went ahead and bought the Gemini Air off of eBay after returning the Roku to the local big-box store. The Gemini does fulfill my desire for a more simplistic interface, especially the dedicated guide button and the ability punch in channel numbers. I also...

Thanks so much, KyL416! I actually have had trouble with Titan in the past for just my local antenna channels. Sometimes it will freeze and will not go forward in time. I gave up on trying to keep the -02, -03 type channels correct. They would be off by one to three hours. Sometimes they...

Titantv.com has an option for setting up a new channel line-up to choose DirecTV Stream. I made it to match the favorites list I have on the TV. I like to scan through the listings for the day and see what I might like to record. Using Titan on a computer is much easier than clicking the Roku...

I signed up for DirecTV Stream yesterday. As mentioned above, I was concerned whether I would be needing to look for internet alternatives as the government funded help with connectivity ends. It appears that Spectrum is going to continue to offer a lower cost tier of service that has actually...

That is good to know. I just have to wait and see what happens with the internet situation here. It has been free for about two years in this low income and rural area. I never asked for it but kept getting mailings from Spectrum that all I had to do is go pick up the equipment. I understand...

I have been researching the possibility of streaming DirecTV. I had the satellite service several years ago. I have tried several of the "cable like" streaming services and as a senior citizen do not like all of the extra button pushing just to bring up a guide and worse yet record a single...

The last time I checked DTV stream did not include any of the Music Choice channels. That is something that I would really appreciate as there is not much variety in English language music where I live.

As a potential customer I am interested due to the fact that neither MeTV or H&I are available OTA in El Paso. COZI's picture is bit-starved due to cramming in more channels in the signal stream and there is no guide data except from the national web site. It would be beneficial to Direct TV...

Thank you.

I was able to find a member who indicated that MeTV is HD with Direct. What about H&I and COZI? If not HD, are they at least full screen 16:9?

Indeed, my memories of the phenomena are all low VHF and FM. The channel 4 mentioned above (now known as KDBC) had been urged by residents of Southern New Mexico to try and move to channel 11 which was licensed to Juarez, Mexico but unused at that time. Even cable companies in Lordsburg and...

Back in the analog days there was a lot of Tropo in NM. In the summer channel 4 from El Paso was unwatchable many days in Las Cruces, just 40 miles away due to other channel 4s intruding. In Albuquerque, I remember watching an entire concert on channel 2 from San Francisco. Also in Las...

I had to do an update to my Sony software to get the ATSC 3.0 channels to have picture and sound. Before that they were in the list but just a black screen. I don't know if that means they are encrypted or not.

Yes, thank you. Digging down in the menu to find the "real" channel is a chore.
