    The PlayStation Vue Thread

    On my roku that works with the new interface, I can hold down the fast forward button and see the minutes elapsed in the show count up. So I can say watch it pass 3 minutes in a few seconds and then stop.

    How are you liking Sling TV?

    Today I canceled Dish Network satellite service. Been using OTA and Sling for almost 3 months now and my wife agreed she could live with what we have. I had been with Dish Network for 15 years the retention specialist said. We use a Roku for the service and it has generally worked pretty good...

    Fox and Sling

    Precisely. AMC got hammered by DISH during negotiations because of their basically making most of the content available through other means. AMC doing that gave them other streams of income but devalued their content with their normal distribution group. Fox is trying to avoid that arguments...

    ESPN and Sling

    If espn went away I am sure there is a set of subscribers that would simply go back to cable.

    Outage?

    Hmm, might have noticed a problem but can't recall. Wife generally watches OTA during primetime on weeknights. I've had a couple times where various channels seem to freeze up where the show stops like someone had pressed a pause but no one did. That's the Roku app. Closing Sling and going...

    SLING ON SAMSUNG SMART TV

    Personally I lay that at the feet of Samsung. All sling can do is make it available. Samsung actually has to push it onto the TV's. Asking Sling to let you know when it will be there is like asking Google for when a Verizon Droid phone will get the latest android update.

    SLING ON SAMSUNG SMART TV

    Yes, I can see the value of having everything in one place. While a universal remote can take care of the multi-remote issue, the acceptance factor of one integrated system can be pretty high. i.e. if the Roku had an OTA adapter, it would make learning easier for my wife, i.e. not having to...

    Sling TV

    I had the Roku connecting to my 2.4ghz wifi network. While watching sling tv the quality was fluctuating. Then my wife noticed her internet connection being weird. My computer connects via the 5ghz network in my home and my wife and Roku connect via the 2.4ghz network. So I knew the internet...

    Sling TV

    Dish is now on pause and I did the roku 3 deal with Sling TV. Wife is living with it right now. So far it's working well except for one night when someone was overdriving their wireless router nearby and it clobbered my network.

    Sling TV

    Ordered sling.tv for our trial last Friday. My wife is definitely giving me a frowny face about no TLC or Game Show Network. I can maybe see her point on GSN as they do have some fun shows. But TLC? Exactly how many times do you need to watch someone shop for wedding dresses?

    Sling TV

    I have my wife grudgingly allowing a test of cutting the cord for June. I'll put Dish on pause and get the trial for Sling.TV. The channel line up works well for her generally but she will miss the DVR of local channels (I'll get those OTA) and she won't be happy about about Game Show Network...
