    New/Updated review of the big 6 OTT options

    I wish youtubetv was available in my area, but it is not yet. so for now we use hulu commercial free, amazon, Netflix and CBS All Access. the kids use regular youtube on their devices.

    new sub questions

    Thanks we weren't sure how or if they would even do it. Was worried they would try to deny thinking they were simply trying to get new customer pricing. She still has DNS FOX/CBS/NBC from before our locals went live and fusses because she would lose the West coast feeds. I can't get her to...

    new sub questions

    My parents are splitting up, actually have(tho not divorced yet) as he has lived 100 miles away for a few years. Anyway DTV is in his name, and he is going to shut it down. My Mom wants to keep it, but cannot afford it on her SS check. Will DTV allow her to sign up as a new customer and get...

    HDMI conversion to coax??

    my assumption was he would get the roku model with RCA outputs since it supports older tvs. the HDMI portion I discarded because as you say, it makes no sense to convert HDMI to composite then to RF once you figure in the needed adapters.

    HDMI conversion to coax??

    you need an RF modulator to convert the RCA to RF coax connection. under 20.00 so not that expensive at all. you may even find one in a local electronics store, but it would be pure luck. Yes you would get a much better picture changing to a new hd tv, but I can understand not wanting to go...

    good deal, I may check it out soon since it sounds like it works more like what I want.

    The PlayStation Vue Thread

    now that Vue is available for Roku I am thinking of trying it out. Does the DVR function work for all channels? and can you set it to do a season pass like most physical DVR units? Just wondering because many of our shows come on at times when we are not home or otherwise occupied and it would...

    Fox and Disney want to sell their own web TV bundle, via Hulu, for $40 a month

    i like my Hulu No Commercials plan, IF the new service gives the option for no commercials and cloud based DVR service for all channels then i may give it a try. But it would have to be worlds better than Sling for me to keep it, we drop Sling after just 3 days due to the limited fit with our...

    Something I encountered with Netflix I really don't like.

    that is odd, must be app specific for those. when I turn off auto play next episode it does not do it on any of my devices including Iphone and ipads.

    Something I encountered with Netflix I really don't like.

    you can login to your Netflix account and edit the playback options to turn off Auto Play, that should stop it. I know I don't get it on my Roku 1 which does not support auto play but do on my sticks.

    Suddenlink Data Caps

    bumping this back up, but SL now has unlimited on the top 2 tiers. costs 5.00 a month, but well worth it. We have 200/20 service and it came with a 450gb cap. With 4 people in a streaming only house that was too low. Heck my 2 daughters will each have Netflix on the tv and youtube on their ipad...

    Is the Roku stick any good?

    We have a 1 and 3 of the sticks, the sticks are better IMO. the 1 won't do profiles on Netflix but the sticks do. Only drawback to them is I can't use my Logitech Harmony remote to control a stick since they are RF. But that is what the app is for on the ipad or phone.

    Roku and run a plex server, then it will play anything. but yes it will play MKV natively as well.

    Roof replacement

    if she does not want to risk several days without service she may even want to call and request the dish be moved from the roof to the side of the house or a pole on ground before the roof work(if these are feasible). Last time we had a dish failure it took the local company 7 business days to...

    How are you liking Sling TV?

    yeah I use plex so that is how I can do it. I have not tried it yet, but looks like integrating iTunes is fairly easy.

    How are you liking Sling TV?

    yeah I know but pausing is more important to me than commercial skips. I thought about buying a season pass, and may still do that since I stream itunes to my roku and not have to plug the HDMI up directly.

    How are you liking Sling TV?

    tried it ONLY so I could watch TWD on AMC Sunday night. absolutely hated the experience so I cancelled yesterday. I'll plug my laptop up and watch the episode Monday/Tuesday each week rather than deal with AMC on Sling. IF they offered Pause/REW/FF it would have been great, with everything that...

    Billing Question

    I think you have to pay WHDVR if you use a genie. but you can drop the protection plan and save 8.00.

    Help! I need my college football!

    if you have broadband internet then you can at least use Watch ESPN app to get them until it is fixed. Take my word for it, go get a Roku or other streaming device if you don't have one, you will love it.

    Post what DirecTV retention offered you!

    after 13 years of being with D* I called and cancelled last night. once I told the auto attendant I wished to disconnect my account I sat on hold 25 mins waiting for a rep at 930 at night! the rep asked if he could give me NFLST free for a year and 10.00 off for a year to keep me, I politely...

    Genie Questions

    you can't block it so a different list shows at each mini, but you can setup parental controls so that the kids cannot watch anything above a certain rating. This can be done at each mini, so one kid can be TV-g and the next PG-13. If she goes with a genie and full dvrs then each can be set to...

    Amazon ending streaming support for LG Blu-Ray players?

    I only have one LG BR, but every TV we own has a Roku so we never use the app on the BR anyway.

    Goodbye Directv! It's been good but......

    my 2 year contract is up next month and I am seriously considering killing DTV. we pay 100.00 a month for a genie, 2 minis and a HR24. the 2 minis and the HR24 have not been watched in months. Everything we watch in the den on the Genie can be streamed within a day or so of air, plus we have...

    Extending RF remote range on an H24

    is it possible to run cables in the basement to move the RF antenna closer to where they will use the remotes, not necessarily up to the main floor but at least in that general vicinity? all you need is some RG6 with connectors on it and the adapter for the antenna plug.

    Music & Photo Streaming Missing

    it won't show unless it sees a media share on your network. So either the network settings hosed up on the HR44 or you no longer have a computer/device publically sharing media.
