Been testing it out for 4 weeks now, I've found the Roku Ultra user interface is the most friendly of devices I've tested with the exception of their own streaming box and you do get 5:1 surround on many channels if it's important. They offer channels I can't get with other streaming services...

Satellite TV will be so close to a thing of the past by 2022. Just can't imagine any kind of renewal being offered. It will be on one of the major streaming platforms with a world audience and if it's not will be shocked. I know NFL has made many dumb decisions, I hope this won't be one of...

Fingers crossed the NFL drops them and gives that awful soon to be extent dinosaur company the heave-ho. If it were my business (NFL), One of the big IT companies like Amazon, Alphabet or both makes the most sense because they have the pay services and ability to already reach most everyone...

HDR Dolby Vision is one of the few weaknesses of Sony TV's even this year's models. Look for TV calibrator and reviewer Vincent Teoh (Youtube), he covers this on some of his LG C8 and Sony TV reviews. The only Dolby Vision TV currently that works as expected is made by LG. Even HDR10 doesn't...

FYI Directv Now was by far the worst streaming experience I've had plus expensive and tiered just like the satellite service which requires near top package for the most wanted channels like sports. More channels isn't always better. UI, DVR, 1080p @ 60fps buffer-free streaming with channels I...

What I like about Sony TV's they don't abandon prior year models like some manufactures. My (2016) models just recieved firmware Android 7.0 which does support Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG for both my XDR 930D TV's. You can get killer deals on these 2016 models and they have beautiful pictures...

Once you subscribe you're stuck with it for life. ;)

I wouldn't take the advice not to return if you care about credit and don't want some collection agency tracking you down.

I've had success with dupont snow and ice repellent. You need to treat every so often however meaning being able to reach dish. This is same stuff you spray on snowblower to prevent snow accumulation on undercarriage and blade. However this warning is given which I doubt is true because I've...

Agree they've came a long way in short period. The Hopper 3 is the slam dunk however.

Not for me I had different experience after having both only because I needed Directv's Sunday Ticket. My experience the Directv receivers were slower, had audio dropout issues all the the time, receivers are married to EHD so if anything failed you lose all recordings. Billing complicated and...

I just dumped Directv after 6 1/2 years so had both services side by side mainly for Sunday Ticket over a full year for comparison, PQ was close enough I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I do have 2 Sony 930D 65" TV's and sit 9' away and don't need glasses 20-20 except for reading.

I wouldn't go. I like Dish much better, not really close for me since getting the Hopper 3 & no longer rabid NFL fan the PQ is so close it's a wash. Directv has been borderline harassing me recently about coming back, offering everything but kitchen sink. They even offered paying off my Dish...

Interesting I was offered a comeback package few weeks ago and person was insisting Directv had changed attitude so I asked how? Followed by you still don't carry HD channels I've wanted forever and started reeling off some of the channels now in testing. Anyway a little late just extended my...

My experience with 16 tuners viewing habits have changed considerably by utilizing the tuners we rarely watch live TV other than maybe some sporting event. Even the news gets recorded now. When I turn TV on now I go directly to DVR recordings for viewing. This does take a little getting used to...

I've never paid more than $7.50 on Dish. Add then drop you always get a 6 month offer 1/2 price. It's been like this for years.

First TV was in '63, us kids were the channel tuners of the 2 or 3 available channels. How things have changed with the snowflake generation.

Black listing properties is one thing (Don't agree with it) but leaving the new customer hanging with no notification is another. A simple courtesy call, we aren't coming because should of been made.

This story is nuts. If really pissed as I would be, look into small claims court suite based on missed wages or lost time. Doesn't cost anything to look into.

That I'm really not sure. The way Netflix works it throttles the data stream to work with the customer. I can see something like that working out. Netflix has this streaming thing down to a science.

True but this is about Directv Now. Directed toward those that think streaming is unfeasible. Most people can easily stream if they don't have a data cap.

You don't need fiber to stream. Last time I checked using H.264v (MPEG-4 AVC) codec Directv Now was under 3 Mbps and PSvue was almost double at 5 Mbps. Data caps is another issue however.

Haven't tried it but did give BBC World News a try and its no different than the other left leaning MSM news organizations but does cover world news better with a left slant. Fox leans far right the rest far left with no middle ground news organization. I've heard CNN is trying to get back in...

I was watching Conan last night comparing between Dish and Vue. Vue's 720p had less artifacts and was noticeably cleaner looking.

So sound was messed up on Directv also. Same on Dish H3, I thought they had reverb or echo on using Sony soundbar.
