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.

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...

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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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.

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.

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...

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.

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...

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.
