Thanks all!

Do they now charge monthly fees for DVR, additional TVs, etc? Asking for a friend interested. I've had mine a few years and I don't pay anything but the stated service price. I know they used to charge you for the unlimited DVR if you ordered at the store or over the phone but if online you...

Any chance they fixed the HDR issue of always on or off instead of based on whether the signal contained HDR content or not?

Does the new device handle HDR in the same manner?

They have a message to turn HDR on when watching this channel. Sure wish they'd fix the HDR to turn on only when there's HDR content since it makes everything else look weird

So you're saying if I put the Netflix app on the Osprey it'll play 4k Netflix shows, correct?

I know there is currently no DirecTV 4k streaming channels, but won't the Osprey stream 4k today? I just wish HDR would turn on and off automatically based on the content rather than manually having to do that (which I never do because it's a pain, I stream everything else through the TV which...

Seems like it's only available with the Movies Extra Pack now...

In my area, the options are Spectrum and AT&T. Spectrum offers 200 mbps, 400 mbps, and 1 Gig, at prices (after initial promo rate) of $55, $75, and $115. AT&T offers 300 mbps, 500 mbps, 1 gig, 2 gig, and 5 gig for $55, $65, $80, $110, and $180. I think my Google nest wifi router mesh system...

~50 of those satellite channels are music only non-video channels; and as mentioned, tons of shopping, religious, and 2-feed channels that show the same thing a couple hours apart (the east/west coast feeds). If you subtract all of those from satellite, the number of channels comes pretty...

How's the sound signal, is it 5.1 surround? I have a home theater set up in one room and would not want to lose that.

Right, I'm getting a ton of discounts right now but after those pretty much the same as what I'd pay for a comparable package on Stream.

They just finished in my neighborhood, said it would be 30-45 days to get it all ready to turn on.

I downloaded and compared a pdf from both, I've always found those and other listings to have errors compared to other information on the same site which has its own issues. So that doesn't necessarily surprise me. Looking back the Stream pdf was last updated 1/22/22 the other 3/10/22.

So I was bored last night and compared what I have (DirecTV XTRA) and what I'm looking at (DirecTV Stream Ultimate). Basically I'm losing a bunch of stuff I don't watch or use like the music channels, religious programming, international, shopping, other coast feeds of same programming, etc...
