    Any of these IPTV offer channel up/down feature?

    Youtube TV let you scroll thru all the live channels and as soon as you stop it will show what's playing immediately. It takes about 1/4 of a sec really fast.. must have some kind of advanced buffering technology. It is really cool. With unlimited cloud recording I just started recording...

    The YouTube TV Thread

    Okay after about 1.5 week of testing, I did find shows that you cannot skip commercials. They are not airing the normal commercials but the on-demand type.. about 2 min. The same ones they show on CW app.

    The YouTube TV Thread

    I am trying it out at Los Angeles since it has 1 month free. So far I have been able to skip every show I recorded. And with unlimited dvr, you could just record every single show. The way that it sets up you cannot record just 1 episode. You record the entire show every episode (season...

    Sling / DTV Now / Vue

    Okay with the AT&T $25 off DTVN offer, I think DTVN is the cheapest of them all now at $10 a month if you have AT&T unlimited plan.

    Sling / DTV Now / Vue

    It's a cordcutter package offered to Charter Spectrum internet customer. For years I only have internet from Charter and then I started getting email about this new Stream TV package. I think their Spectrum app (on Ruku and Android) works with Charter regular TV package too, but the stream...

    Sling / DTV Now / Vue

    I think my Spectrum TV Stream Plus has the best bang for the buck. If I didn't have it, I may have gone for DTVNOW. My package costs is $20 with all locals + about 15 popular cables channels (HGTV, FX, AMC, ESPN, TBS, History, Food Network, etc...) AND HBO. And no contract with a free Roku...

    Russia 1 on Roku?

    I don't know if they have Russian 1, but Kalinka-TV has a bunch of channels in Russian. Not all of them work. Some of them just keep buffering and crash the app.. have to reboot Roku to get out.

    CBS All Access now offers commercial free plan

    I haven't watched anything on CBS for a while, but when I used to watch Survivor, it works pretty reliably. Once in a while it will detect blocking and I just have to update the Easylist filter. Somebody is always updating the filters...it maybe a few days late but usually fixed in 2 or 3...

    Just signed up for Charter Spectrum Streaming Plus

    Yeah $40 is a bit much for me for TV. BTW, it does really take 48 hours to activate the account. I was trying to watch after 36 hours... it will let me watch a few channels but not the others. Everything seems to work now although I am still waiting for the Roku 3. I am using different...

    Just signed up for Charter Spectrum Streaming Plus

    I think it is a really good deal for $20 a month. You get a free Roku 3. It has all the local channels + HBO or Showtime + 16 or so cable channels like HGTV, ESPN, Food Network, AMC, History, etc... Just HBO Go alone is normally $15 a month. After 5 years of cord cutting.. I finally came...

    Daredevil on Netflix is getting great reviews

    The series may have more violence than a PG13 Marvel movie, but it is about the same or less violence than a HBO or AMC series. I finish the season and I actually found the "bad" guys more likeable. At the end I am kind of cheering for Fisk.

    HBO Says It’s Going to Start Selling on the Web Next Year

    Wow $5 to add HBO and locals to internet only package?? I would gladly pay $10 to just have local channels, but Charter wants $39 just to add the minimum TV package.

    HBO Says It’s Going to Start Selling on the Web Next Year

    I wonder how they are going to price it? It cannot be lower than cable subscription because otherwise people would just switch from cable HBO to internet HBO. It is probably going to be like $15 to $20? That would be lot...about the same as getting both Netflix and Amazon Prime.

    Netflix streaming

    I haven't been streaming Netflix for a while. I mostly stream TV shows and Amazon Prime has a lot more TV shows than Netflix. I have been catching up all the older premium channel shows like Rome and True Blood on Amazon. Amazon Prime also got a lot more Reality TV shows than Netflix. At...

    AT&T Calls Netflix's Request for Equitable Peering 'Arrogant'

    But the problem here is not as easy as net contents neutrality. If you look at internet as a system of carrying water to the homes. The system is neutral to the color of the water, and it doesn't care if you are asking for clear, yellow or green water... it will flow the rate to the homes...

    Amazon Prime's annual fee increasing to $99 when you renew

    I am wondering that when you apply the code for the gift prime subscription, would it let you renew prime ($99 value)... or would it be Amazon credit of $79 toward renewal?

    Amazon Prime's annual fee increasing to $99 when you renew

    LOL so true. I used to think that free shipping is just fine why do I need 2-day free shipping? But once I have it... it is very hard to let go. Now when I order something (not from Amazon) that takes 5 days to get here.. I am thinking.. .geee this thing takes FOREVER to ship!

    Les Mooves Expects to add 2 Comedys, Say He'd Consider Turning CBS Into a Internet Service if Aereo

    That's how I think too! If Aereo wins, everyone wins except for the networks. There is no way the networks will go completely off the air.. can you imagine the money they will lose from advertisers? So they will be lowering the fee for the cable companies or/and offer internet streaming for...

    Where do you watch Winter Olympic?

    Right now I am watching it on ustvnow, but it seems to be working only part of the time. I think it was because too many are watching and it shuts off the free users or something. I could watch other channels like ABC or CBS but it would not connect to NBC sometime. During the opening...

    Hulu Plus Commercials

    The trick is to use the Ad Block Plus extension (with Easylist) on Firefox or Chrome browser. It blocks all the ads on all the streaming video on just about all the network websites. When the video hits the spots for the ads, it will just skip over immediate like they were not even there! I...
