Uh oh. Coming in the next round of contract negotiations with the majors. For the first 3 days after the airing of the program, the playback is forced to Reverse-Autohop.

No surround sound. Thats a bummer. Although TV shows usually don't make good use of it.

IP and MAC address can both be spoofed. It would be pretty difficult for Dish to know if you are using the stream within the same household.

The same way you run a Blu Ray player, game console, or set-top box through surround sound. HDMI to a reciever. Thats really a question? First does the Sling TV stream have a DD+ singal or is it stereo. If its stereo the best you can do is have your reciever apply Pro Logic to it to fake...

Live Tv. Live Sports. Programs unavaiable on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon.

What is the bitrate and is it full resolution?

That would eat into the revenue from the Joey fee. Does DA work on Google TV?

The issue I have had with the signal going out is if it was storming, like really bad. Otherwise it was stable. I remeber a long long time ago there were stories on Direct and Dish and what was called HD Lite. That the HD signal wasn't a full HD signal. What is the Dish signal these days...

It already is. I don't know what percentage I count as in the same boat, but I am most likely going to cancel my Dish service and go with Sling TV.

I believe ESPN is the only channel that disabled pausing.

So here we have Dish realizing there are people not signing up for cable. They want a lower cost solution. Why not take this same package and offer it to Dish customers for $20? It would still be a companion product to go with Hulu and Netflix. I guess this might even highlight the...

I don't know if that has anything to do with the price at this point. I am pretty sure the low coast has to do with the low number of channels and that those channels come from just two providers (ABC and Turner). Add on that you don't have DVR capability so ads are harder to skip. Can you...

Recent comments from the head of the FCC as CES seem to fall in line with regulations and a pro-consumer consumer stance. Added with those other services you have some pretty good coverage of content. Not to mention that each one of those services is a stream in itself. So if you have a...

Yeah, for sure, since it can be used anywhere, you can't confine it to a household. I think the price is still low enough that if you needed 2 streams its not very expensive. Also you could just add and remove streams from month to month. I am not sure but I assume Amazon, Netlfix, Hulu Plus...

But is that really the use case for the majority of TV watchers. I know that there is a crazy number of TVs per household but does each individual person really need thier own feed? Of course it varies from household to household I am doing the same as you and making a broad assumption, but my...

Thats my starting point too. Also I think I might get a Hulu Plus trial and for a week or 2 pretend I don't have Dish and see if I run into any issues.

I don't think it is out of possibility to have it be an added feature (more money or along with an add-on). I assume in simple terms what something like Watch ESPN does now is redirect you to a Dish login page, then Dish returns a True if the right package to allow streaming or False if not. I...

There will probably be some conflicts. If I want to watch ESPN and my daughter wants Disney then there is an issue. But if its just a situation of my daughter wants to watch Disney and the Sling TV stream is unavailable then I can stream with hulu or amazon or netflix. But I can think of...

I am leaning towards not being able to based on the add-on packages (but maybe access added with the add-ons). For instance, lets take Disney. You get Disney with the base set of channels. If they gave you Watch Disney access, coupled with the fact you are using a device with most likely has...

I am going to get it. Since I have an Xbox One I will check out the free month. Hopefully its not just a free month on the One but a free month of the service so I can see what its like on the tablet and other devices. That was one thing that bothered me about the Sling Adapter on my Hopper...

As with anything, some will benefit, some won't. Reading some more coverage, it looks like it has pause, Rewind, and FF on live. So it would seem you can still pause live TV and then FF through commercials. But with the 3 day VOD, I would think they would force commercials because they can...

But it is a live broadcast. All the channels offer a live feed. I assume VOD will be close to what Dish has already.

Thats probably right, but this isn't a DVR. I have to sit through them when I watch Live TV, for the coast savings I have no problem watching them. Different strokes I guess.

I can't tell if this is a thread about Sling TV or Sling TV for free (which seems to be incorrect). But if you are watching live TV, I don't see how you could be seeings any more ads than through cable or sat watching live. Now the VOD, or 3 day history, could be ad filled but I still wonder...

Also torrents are illegal. Using someone else's account information is against the TOS. Some of us like to stay on the legal side of things and its great that Dish is providing that to us.
