    Charter getting desperate?

    It could be the CEP area that has allowed that? I know that I live in that designated area, and get the 30/5 internet. That being said, I have Spectrum internet at both my personal business and the non-profit I work at, and have been satisfied with the service. I am actually fine with the...

    Hulu Ups Price of vMVPD Service But Reduces Core SVOD Plan with Commercials

    While the increase sucks... my wife and I agree that Hulu has given our family the greatest all in one option of all the ott providers. For years, I have been trying to figure out how to get an all in one option going. We had Hulu prior to live tv and loved the collection of shows it has (full...

    Cord cutting still subpar

    I will say that Hulu, with even more recent developments, has and will allow us to drop other services. Movies almost mirror what is on Netflix, and if I can get all the shows that my wife and I watch that is only on Netflix, saved into my PlayOn Cloud DVR, I can cut Netflix out and save that...

    SLING TV PUSHES BEYOND THE BUNDLE: REMOVES PAYWALL BARRIERS

    As far as I know, the rate increase won't affect those who already have the Orange package. I just looked at my account, went to the "change packages" area, and noticed that my package is dubbed "Sling Orange (Legacy)" for $19.99, and there are Sling Orange Legacy add-ons, which are the typical...

    Cool Sling TV/Air TV classic experience

    I was looking to see if anyone reviewed on a total "out of the house" experience of the Sling TV/Air TV classic combo. I have finally been able to do so, via the Amazon Fire TV box. I have been "confined" to the hospital for a short term due to a chronic disease I have, so I decided to make...

    Ooyala: Growing Frustration Among OTT Viewers

    The grid guide and cloud DVR are the two reasons that I came back to Sling TV. Also the fact that soon... their Roku app will allow locals to be integrated into the guide via their AirTV2 box (two tuner local channel receiver, connected via the network). I had Sling TV for a bit after it...

    Charter Spectrum Speed Increases

    I totally agree. What is the saying, sometimes you have to reach the bottom, to get back to the top?

    Charter Spectrum Speed Increases

    My neighborhood qualified me for the Spectrum Internet Assist package (even though I am not low income, myself), because the neighborhood is deemed "low income". 30/4 internet for $15 a month... can't go wrong. Overall, the change from TWC to Spectrum has saved the business I am at, somewhere...

    Dish Soft-Launches New AirTV Box

    I haven't noticed it on our OTA ABC station, just the ABC/Disney networks that stream via Sling TV. I have been told it is an issue on their end, that they are working with their engineers on... however that has been the story for at least the last few months I have had it, and still hasn't been...

    Dish Soft-Launches New AirTV Box

    Just a quick update... I received the AirTV yesterday and started testing it out. While the instructions say that it integrates into the guide on Roku, the website states that Roku only works with the AirTV app. The website is correct, as my Roku hasn't added the over the air option to the app...

    Dish Soft-Launches New AirTV Box

    I already have the Roku set up and operating.... and voila.. Disney networks are working flawlessly on it! I wonder if those Android boxes don't play well with up-converting to 1080p from 720p, and that is what causes the issue? Not sure I get any of the Fox networks on Orange... do I? I find it...

    Dish Soft-Launches New AirTV Box

    I bit and purchased it. I received a relatively inexpensive AirTV player box from sling... and see why the price is what it is. For some reason, all the Disney owned stations have issues with that box (runs on the Android TV platform). Literally every few minutes, will go back 10 seconds in...

    Dish vs. U-Verse (AT&T Fiber)

    I have had DISH for many years in the past, and currently have U-Verse due to the package I could get with internet. I have actually been quite impressed with U-Verse. For $105 a month, we get four rooms of U-Verse, 50/10 internet, for two years. That TV package is the U-300 package, which...

    DISH Introduces Flex Pack

    It may be the fact that I already was getting those credits, so they can't apply the new offer until you get to that point. Seems odd. Did you try to see what would happen if you tried attempting to switch to the Flex Pack (go through the steps online)? Before you accept the final change, you...
