Sad news indeed! I liked Locast, and I think they provided a valuable service for many who could not get local channels with an antenna or couldn't afford an expensive live TV option[Cable, Satellite, or streaming]. Sadly, I knew from the start that the "Forced donation" by interrupting the...

I will be anxious to review the available content at release. I have no interest in content from the Food channel, and very little from HGTV, but I might be interested in the content from the History Channel. I miss the old History Channel(Along with the travel channel, Science and National...

Looks like the service is exclusive to T-mobile and Sprint customers, and no Roku at launch.

Thanks! I did get a email from Sling yesterday about BTN. Was under the impression that this would be added to the Blue package, but you also have to add the "Sports package" to receive the channel. Still, it's a cheaper option then Hulu or Youtube TV to have access to the channel.

I wonder what happened to Sling's deal with FOX for the Big Ten Network that was suppose to launch before the start of the college football season. Big Ten play starts on October 24th, and the college football season started 7 weeks ago.

I think you missed my point! I have OTA in my area and I don't need Locast, but if I did, I would gladly pay the $5 monthly donation/price. What I was saying is, they advertise their service as being free, but without donating each month it's an unwatchable abomination.

I got an e-mail about this.....and they are still claiming to free! Locast would be great if they just asked for a donation once when you first open their app and then allowed to watch without interruption.

Without Roku or FireTV this new service will not be a major player. Yes, I realize people watch on their phones, but without the two biggest streaming devices it will severely limit viewership.

Sling is a pretty good deal relative to its competitors in terms of price and value. I have Sling Blue, it doesn't have every channel I like, but it has most of them. Picture quality is perhaps a notch below YouTube TV, but it seems reliable. The price guarantee is a nice thing as well.

Interesting! They add the Disney owned channels including ESPN, but drops Time Warner channels including TNT and TBS. I would take that trade, but I think they'll still increase the price to match YouTube TV.

Wow! Hard to justify that type of increase in a year with essentially no live sports. I think Youtube TV and HULU need to look at offering an additional bundle of channels without the expensive sports channels. Philo is pretty good, but it also lacks news channels and local networks. Give people...

I'm trying Disney+ for a month. Looking at the content currently available, it would seem like a very compelling option for households with children. However, for older adults the selection is more limited. Yes, they have a decent amount of classic movies, but most of those movies are either for...

Update: I installed the 1TB external HDD and activated the OTA DVR functions. So far, it has worked flawlessly in both scheduling recordings and with playback . Yes, it lacks the the auto commercial skip functions you get with Tivo and others, but it gets the job done. Also, the dual tuner OTA...

What does the premium give you? More shows and original programs like CBS All Access offers? Also, is there a waiting period for new/current shows on the free version, or will they be available the next day? I like CBS all access, but I find their library of vintage shows to be rather lacking...

I've purchased the AirTV player in 2017 with the OTA adapter. It works pretty well and I like how it integrates OTA channels into the Sling guide. I've decided to order a 1-TB external HDD to try the DVR functions. Anyone else have experience using the Beta DVR on the AirTV player?

Well, I'm glad they are adding BTN next year for Football season. The price increase was inevitable, but they are adding some value to the Blue package.

I'm glad they are making progress with the legal battle, but Locast is still a problematic proposition. Yes, they need donations to keep operating, but they should not limit access or disrupt viewing to members that don't actively donate each month. Also, they claim that the viewing restrictions...

These streaming companies are still not getting it right. Skinny bundles are not skinny enough and try to satisfy the old cable/satellite TV customer. Sling has a better model, but they need to change "Orange and Blue" to "Sports and Entertainment". Offer a bundle with all of the sports...

hope they win the lawsuit against the networks. Low income individuals who don't have access to an acceptable antenna or can't receive a good signal need an option. Locast recently added service in my area(Phoenix) and it allowed me to receive a couple additional channels. The service is a...

I'm a little surprised by this decision. Vue was a solid option for customer's looking for options to cable and satellite. AT&T is apparently trying to price themselves out of the competition and now this! I think the problem is that "Skinny Bundles" are not skinny enough for potential cord...

Pretty nice! Decent streaming quality, don't know the technical specs, but I'm able to get a few extra channels that I'm not able to receive with my antenna.

Good for them! Hope they are successful, I don't mind companies making a profit, but AD revenue is still a major component of how these TV stations make money and the higher the viewership the more they can charge for advertising. Many people across the country are not able to receive free OTA...

So will this mean that all NBC owned programming will be exclusive to this service? Will NBC's prime-time shows leave HULU?

The problem with "Hallmark Movies Now" is that there is no "Live Stream" of Hallmark channels and the movies and programs available with "No commercials" don't include current movies and current episodes of their original programming(Good Witch, When calls the heart, etc). If you are a fan of...

Well, it does give cord cutters another option and if you are a fan of Hallmark Channel(s) its probably a better option then Hallmark Movies now.
