    Spectrum goes all streaming

    What's stopping Charter and Comcast and any other big cable TV operator from just creating a Roku app to expand their TV subscription footprint beyond their physical cable footprint? Not saying I would subscribe to it, but neither Charter or Comcast is available where I live. But I have high...

    More Cable Channels are about to end due to cord cutting

    I guess this is a compliment on my writing skills?

    More Cable Channels are about to end due to cord cutting

    You have to remember that streaming didn't exist in the 1990s or really even in the 2000s. Broadband Internet was not as prevalent. Most households accessed the Internet with dialup modems lucky to get 53kbps. Back then cable/satellite TV was necessary to fill out TV during the day, probably...

    Suspend Service

    Thanks for the responses. Well that sucks. I have trouble understanding people over the telephone. And especially if the person on the other end has an accent that I'm not used to. I guess if these companies can live with numerous "What?" "Huh?" "What did you say?" "The what?" to extend the...

    Suspend Service

    Can you suspend your Dish Network service over chat or does it have to be a phone call?

    Youtube TV - ESPN3 and SEC+

    That's kind of what I thought. Thanks for explaining.

    Youtube TV - ESPN3 and SEC+

    Does Youtube TV include ESPN3? I'm finding where other websites say that it does, but can't find anything on their website that says it's included. I guess maybe you have to authenticate through the ESPN app? And does Youtube TV include SEC+? It includes SEC Network. I assumed any provider...

    NBC/Peacock/Hulu - what's on what?

    I know NBC is pushing their Peacock service a lot these days. My first question, will NBC continue to allow next-day streaming of their shows on the authenticated NBC app? Or is all of that moving to Peacock? Secondly, I know NBC is pulling a lot of their material off of Hulu to prop up their...

    Paramount + is Slow to Load

    I think it's probably the Paramount+ app. Or at least the Paramount+ app being built on expecting newer hardware to be used. I have the same issue with Paramount+ on my Roku 3. Very, very, very slow to start a show. Often times so slow that the initial ad that runs before the show starts (I...

    Bally Sports OTT

    Any news on when/if Bally sports is still going to launch their OTT streaming service? Last I heard, I thought it was to be ready for the start of the 2022 MLB season. But I'm not aware of anything, and haven't really heard anything about any launch. I know there was some discussion on just...

    Bandwidth Saving with DirecTV Stream STB

    I tried to look for this reading through the manuals online for the DirecTV Stream STB, but couldn't find anything. Probably means that it doesn't have it, but I thought I'd ask here. I know my Roku device has a Bandwidth Saver that functions to automatically turn itself off if I haven't...

    DirecTV and AT&T Internet combined bill - unlimited Internet?

    With DirecTV Satellite and AT&T Internet (copper/DSL Internet ... not fiber or wireless) if you combined those two services on the same bill, then they gave you unlimited Internet. Does that still apply with DirecTV Stream? Can you even combine a DirecTV Stream and AT&T Internet onto one bill...

    DirecTV Stream / Local Channels / Cellular based ISP

    This is probably true for DirecTV Stream as well. But I thought since DirecTV Stream is marketed more as a DirecTV Satellite replacement with the added benefit of being able to be viewed on a cellular device, it MIGHT stick more to the billing location locals.

    DirecTV Stream / Local Channels / Cellular based ISP

    It would be either Verizon Home LTE Internet or AT&T Fixed Wireless - currently weighing the pros and cons for each and trying to figure out what might work best at that location. But it would be a "fixed" wireless setting as opposed to a mobile cellular signal (phone), although I don't know if...

    DirecTV Stream / Local Channels / Cellular based ISP

    I know a lot of times, the GeoIP location of assigned cellular IPs can be way off. You might live in Georgia and your cellular IP would say you live in Dallas. How does this relate to local channels with DirecTV Stream? Are your local channels tied to your billing address? Or are they tied...
