    New Roku on the way

    The Roku Express was terrible. I had audio loss and a jittery picture while trying to stream from netflix the first time I used it. I ended up returning it. I think the culprit is a cheap wifi chip as it was basically next to my router (about two to four feet, no wall in between) but was still...

    The new Mi Box is out

    Mine still get some occasional use. I actually have my Roku plugged into the HDMI in port and I use imdb and/or check my email. Because I'm smug I did netflix while watching netflix in picture in picture mode :) Not having Hulu crippled the device after Hulu blocked them but I still used...

    The new Mi Box is out

    This thing is awesome ... I've pretty much side loaded EVERYTHING onto it including DISH ANYWHERE. I can't judge on the 4K side but even with the lack of TV integration this was everything the Logitech Revue should have been out of the box.

    What do I need to get Vue?

    My complaint about the UI on Roku is it's nothing like the UI on PS3/PS4. If netflix and sling can make good interfaces on ROKU why the hell can't SONY? As for my service I made another account and activated a free trial for seven days and it activated and worked properly. The ROKU UI though...

    Netflix mocks Amazon Prime Air with hilarious 'Drone 2 Home' video

    Maybe they should do it for disc pick up instead of relying on the post office to mail it back. I watched a movie Thursday 2/20, mailed it back the same day by going to the post office and dropping it in the mailbox inside of the building and they lost it. Shame on the US government tarnishing...

    Play On worth it?

    The thing with PlayON/Hulu is that with PlayON you can access the content that is "web only" through your TV since it's basically using your PC and Internet Explorer to push content to your device via DLNA where with the Hulu+ App from HULU only lets you watch TV shows that they approve to watch...

    Break in log jam against internet TV?

    I still think without harsh government intervention a lot of people are going to be disappointed about what is going to be considered Ala Carte. What I see is that Ala Carte will not become about choosing indvidual channels but about the content owners themselves. Meaning you'll have the ability...

    New IPTV service?

    You would be shocked on how many people think that they must have cable TV to get cable internet. I have DISH/Suddenlink Internet. More services like this could bring forth lawsuits, or force a pass in legislation against data caps if new start ups cannot compete with the traditional providers...

    Yahoo among bidders for Hulu, as report says employees head for exits

    If Yahoo gets Hulu it'll be shuttered by 2015. That is what Yahoo does. Remember Broadcast.com ? Geocities? I could go on.

    Anyway to use Hulu plus on roku w/o a credit card?

    Yeah sorry about that I scrolled over the the next pages area and thought the thread was only one page long, I just went through the whole thread and read that you cancelled before I posted about RAW being heavily edited. Anyways I read an article that the next guy in charge at Hulu plans on...

    Vizio Co-Star

    This is why I would never do cloud gaming unless the company was a super mega conglomerate like Apple, Sony, or Microsoft. So what happens to your game collection when OnLive goes out of business? Well you never really owned the game, just a license so if you really enjoyed that game you would...

    Vizio Co-Star

    I'm not in love with my GoogleTV (revue owner) but I do like it. It has it's uses connected to my Hopper receiver. With that in mind I will probably pick up the Co-Star because it's an upgrade from the Revue and will more than likely support Android 4.0 when it's released for the systems. My...

    wanting to watch youtube.com on the TV

    A Google TV Revue unit will do that if you can find one. Especially if she is only interested in YouTube. If she is interested in more media content like CBS, network tv shows via hulu and other various video content you could check out PlayON media server. It would use her PC to transcode the...

    google tv and epix hd application

    It clearly states HTTP error. I'm thinking maybe something happened during the registration of the device at EpixHD.com because everything else on my Google TV works fine, netflix, dish online(through Chrome), pandora, etc. I've searched Google and nothing comes up so I guess I'll disable and...

    google tv and epix hd application

    just received my GoogleTV yesterday and tried to link my unit with EpixHD.com and now everytime I try to watch a movie I receive a dialog that saiys HTTP request failure. I recieve EPIX through the movie pass formerly Platinum HD with my Dish Network subscription. I was wondering if any one...

    Starz walks out of negotiations with Netflix over rate hike.

    I am thinking that Starz! sees higher value in licensing with Blockbuster under the Dish Network ownership. Largely this assumption is made since Dish Network actually is a TV provider and Dish Network could offer deals to Blockbuster users who are not Dish Network subscribers to entice them to...

    Anyone using Hulu Plus

    Because some of the programming is restricted to the PC, some programming is restricted to mobile, and some programming is restricted to TV. Most fall under Web, Mobile, & TV but you have some programs like most Anime that is restricted to PC only. There is a way to get around this called...

    NetFlix WatchNow using PlayOn and the Playstation 3

    I'm not sure where to put this on the board. I know some of you use the Roku device but I have two Playstation3's in the house and have downloaded a program called PlayOn that lets you stream NetFlix WatchNow & Hulu.com to your TV via a Media Server. I was wondering if anyone else used this and...

    roku question

    Thinking about buying this or should I just wait and get an Xbox 360 Elite. I guess the only question I really have about the service; Is the new announced NetFlix service on Xbox Live the same as Roku ? Or does Roku offer more titles ? The price of admission is definately worth it though. A...

    ITVN not dead yet

    Well it's the 16th, my billing date and my debit card hasn't been debited. So I think im in the clear. (crosses fingers) I know about four days ago while the website said "under construction" that ITVN was still broadcasting some things like Pulse, and MavTV while Late Night wouldn't even...

    ITVN not dead yet

    Here is what works for me still MavTV and the Pulse Channels I just tested them. Starz and SS still have the try for three days free page when i click on them but Late Night won't even go to the Parental Control screen where you enter the pin before it takes you to the late night menu...
