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...

I guess this is a compliment on my writing skills?

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...

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...

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

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

Can you purchase second hand Osprey boxes (Is that what the $5/mo or $120 box is that you can get with DirecTV Stream called?) from eBay or other retailers and they work? Or do all of the boxes have to be provisioned by DirecTV Stream? I know satellite DirecTV eventually stopped allowing third...

Well, even with just two, that's still halfsies.

Looks like it's really only two - unless you're using a tablet or something: https://www.directv.com/support/stream/article/KM1354360/ Keep in mind: Only two streaming devices connected to a TV can be accessed out of the home. For example: one DIRECTV STREAM device and one Firestick.

So if I ... spent a lot of time at my folks house, so I used a Roku there to stream DirecTV Stream with my account. And I also had DirecTV Stream on my Roku at my house, this would be OK? And um... if sometimes I "forget" to turn my Roku off at home while at the folks house, so I may TOTALLY...

I've been using Sling TV for almost two years now. I don't have any complaints about it. During the pandemic I found myself watching more streaming on demand shows and that I didn't really watch a lot of "live" TV. Still, I like college basketball and wanted a way to get ESPN and Sling TV was...

Probably not any more - not sure if it ever was. Is DirecTV Stream sponsored data if you access it through AT&T - specifically AT&T Wireless, or even more specific AT&T Fixed Wireless. I was thinking at one time - one of the many iterations that "streaming DirecTV" had when AT&T owned it all -...

I tried running a connection check and then trying the live Paramount+ feed, the problem persisted. The Internet connection came back as 65Mbps - so I don't think that's the issue. As long as I use a 720 resolution on my Roku the issue is not present. It's only if I set my Roku resolution to...

Anybody with Paramount+ seeing their local live TV feed getting the audio and video out of sync on their Roku? Problem takes a few seconds to show itself, probably less than 30 seconds, but within 30 seconds I'll see the video start to lag out but the audio is fine and then the video starts to...

I would agree with you (and really I do). But my experience with Mediacom and reading other user's experiences in various forums, nothing tells me that there's any incentive for these telecom companies to build out their network. They are all content with just the customers they have now. And...

I agree. But the government isn't actually known for speeding things through. If the FCC mandates such a thing, then MAYBE in 50 years some areas will start to see cable companies running lines in the area.
