Great to hear, thanks for the feedback.

How is the new 2021 Apple TV 4K as a Stream box?

Having tested other services for the first time since moving from Dish to YTTV (which was meant to be a temporary switch during a cross country move, because we greatly preferred the Dish interface, DVR system, basically everything except the two year contract and the flexibility of not having...

The HDR on YTTV 4K, such as the British Open ("select holes") does have an issue with being dim and muted compared to HDR on other content providers (e.g. Netflix, etc.) Tested it on new Sony Bravia TVs on their native app, a buddy's OLED TV with native app, CCWGTV and Shield TV. All settings on...

The DVR is a huge deal for us due to the way we watch TV. We record almost everything that we watch and watch it later, other than competition shows and sports. We will sometimes have an entire season of a show recorded and only watch it once, say, summer reruns start. So we need a lot of...

I've been tempted to move to AT&T TV. After decades of Dish and Directv, the interface of YTTV is maddening, the loss of the RSNs (them having the RSN for my area was a reason I picked them to begin with) plus we have to also have Philo to get the channels we want. However, I read that I can't...

When did this become a thing? But we'd need a Hopper 3 and a couple of Joey 4Ks (that's what we had when we left Dish when we moved here in Aug 2019.)

No I realize that. So many people have dropped the RSNs, as a Royals fan I listened to the Royals owner talking about how upset he is that they have priced themselves out of so many providers, and a lot of local Royals fans no longer have access. From everything I am reading including some...

Yeah, I remember thinking how much better it was than the Genie system I had from Directv. But when I moved to streaming, I realized the Hopper 3 hardware and interface is light years beyond any live TV offering in streaming.

When we moved cross country a little over a year ago, we were in an apartment while looking for a house. We had a higher end Spectrum cable package in the apartment. It was simply horrible. I was so used to the Hopper 3 system. The speed for the Spectrum system was SO slow. Only 4 tuners, which...

I'm thinking about going the other direction. When we moved a bit over a year ago, we got YTTV for the temporary apartment we were in, then kept it in the new house. I love no two year contract; if something better comes along, I can cancel with no charge in literally a minute. My wife loves no...

The two things that keeps us from trying AT&T (we had Dish and Directv from 1995 until 2019, and since then we have had Youtube TV) is what we read about the lack of a good pause, REW, and FF with live TV, and the 90 day limit on DVR recordings. The way we watch TV is often to record a series...

For years as we moved across the country I'd have to change my email address as we changed internet providers. Then gmail.

We had satellite (either Directv or Dish) since 1995, with Dish being our provider for the last 11 years, and overall Dish has the best DVR system and UI of anything we've used. Had a cross country move and switched to Youtube TV (+ Philo) to get all the channels we wanted (including the RSNs...

But do each of those heads represent a profit or a loss when you figure in all of the Directv baggage? I have to believe more a loss if AT&T is being pushed to dump it.
