  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    When I read articles about Directv and them dropping subs at an alarming rate, nobody seems to consider IMO the real reason why, beyond the "oh, they want Netflix and such". How about, people are tired of the bait and switch pricing where the 2nd year is a fortune compared to the first and they...

    This is exactly the way i feel, even after reading several articles. This is a hail Mary by TW. They are in desperation mode at this point and I feel like someone within TW pulled some strings to make this happen. What's sad is, if they really want their channel carried, simply LOWER their...

    Apple TV 4 supports multi game viewing too(2 at a time).
  4. DIRECTV Programming
    So for anyone who has NHL.TV currently, I noticed that after the Kings/Flyers game last night the feed stayed active for the ENTIRE post game show, which was an additional half hour. As soon as that ended, the feed went off with (the game has ended). It seemed pretty deliberate that it was left...

    Just an update for those that have NHL.TV(Streaming), the NHL updated the ATV4 app and it looks to be fantastic, well beyond the MLB app. It not only allows multi game viewing, but also 3 different Mosaic multi-cam views are available, as well as 3 different alternate angle views, at least for...
  6. DIRECTV Programming
    As it stands now, it still won;t happen. As I mentioned in a prior post in this thread, the difference with MLB.TV streaming is that it is significantly cheaper than the Extra Inning TV package. So to make up the difference, they offer streaming of the home team's feed only. With the NHL...

    A quick update on this. The NHL app on ATV 4 currently does NOT have mulyi-game view so not sure if they are fibbing in that email from above or if they are going to update it yet again for the regular season.
  8. DIRECTV Programming
    The NHL app updated on my ATV4 last night and it made me log in again but it wasn't taking my credentials. It turns out that they required me to change my password at the NHL site. Not sure if this is global for anyone else, but it said due to update security measures, they required me to update...
  9. DIRECTV Programming
    Sad to say but I can see the NHL being stingy like this. With the NHL, the TV and streaming packages are the same price so they would have a hard time justifying offering both to the TV people, while not offering both to the streaming people, yet they pay the same price as TV. MLB does it right...

    That didn't work for me, but followed a link elsewhere and it offered me the $55 price, so I went for it.

    Where are you seeing this? I had MLB.TV last year but cancelled for this year.

    HAHA, that and I guess the young Americans also are quite impotent, since I see Viagra and Cialis ads all over the place :rotfl:

    So you tank your viewership ratings to satisfy the advertisers... who aren't going to stick around if your viewership tanks anyway. Maybe, at some point while your ratings are free falling, you realize, maybe it's time to look for different advertisers.

    And here was the result: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/david-mckillop-as-a-e-777082 Unfortunately, the new guy(s) still don't get it and continue the same trend McKillop started.

    It's the morons driving A&E these days. They are completely and overly obsessed with the 18-49 age group. So much so, they were willing to not only throw away one of their most popular shows and over 6 MILLION viewers in Longmire, stating they felt the viewer's age group was "too old", but now...
  16. DIRECTV Programming
    The problem is, the NHL network is just lazy. They don't do their own telecasts and just simulcast what other networks show. Basically, the league, as a whole, doesn't put a lot of effort into many things and it is reflected in their network. I'm hoping now that MLB is running the show with the...

    Even just comparing the NHL app on Roku to the MLB one on Roku. The MLB one is a lot nicer and faster. Hopefully they will revamp the NHL app on Roku and get away from the side scrolling tiles... bleh.
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    While this issue wasn't the main reason we ended up switching to cable, back in August, it was one of the main reasons we started looking at cable in the first place. We just couldn't take the agonizing performance of our HR34 anymore. I had it for several years and it just got a little slower...
  19. Cable TV Discussion
    You can always buy your own Tivo and use a cable card. A Roamio Pro has a 3tb drive already installed and gives you over 400 hours of HD recording time. If you want to go bigger, you can easily swap the drive with up to a 6tb drive.

    A&E has become completely obsessed with the 21-49 demographic over the last couple years. I know other networks have too but when you throw away programs like Longmire, which had over 6 mill viewers because they felt the age of the viewers was "too old", you are going way overboard. It sounds...
