  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    First I'm hearing of this. Was aware of the Rovi acquisition, but not this.
  2. Internet Streaming Services
    I used a $100 gift card for my services throughout the year with Netflix, but I find myself using my YouTube Red account far more. A rate hike will force my hand.
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Several years ago TiVo sued Echostar and won. SlingTV is owned by Echostar so I'd find it hard to believe that the two companies would be able to reach any kind of agreement.
  4. TV Show Talk
    NFL is a more valuable property to CBS than "The Good Wife" or any other show for that matter. They threw away the NFL in the early 90s, FOX snatched it up and I'm certain they'll never make that mistake again. Ditto for NBC. As others have said, DVR with 1-3 hours paddling is really your only...
  5. Internet Streaming Services
    Then what service did you cancel?
  6. Laughter Is The Best Medicine
    Yeah, neither did I. Strange describes it perfectly. Guess Dude111 has a different idea of what entertainment is.
  7. Internet Streaming Services
    That little caveat caused you to cancel? I don't want to post the particulars because the mods probably wouldn't be pleased, but if you do a web search for capturing Youtube videos you'd find out it's not that hard. So storing videos means nothing to me. The subscription for All Access Google...
  8. Internet Streaming Services
    I'm in the same situation and I look forward toi seeing how they handle it. For those who haven't tried Google Music, it's fantastic IMO. Not sure where you're pulling that from. I use Youtube more than I do any traditional TV service. The idea of paying a small monthly fee, which I do already...
  9. Tech Talk - Gadgets, Gizmos and Technology
    I have friend who works in the mobile phone business and I talked him during the recent iMadness. Since he was only hired in the Summer of this year, this was his first experience with it and he was shocked at how many people were upgrading that had no idea what benefit(s) the new phones offered...
  10. Internet Streaming Services
    Agreed. If you can't view/record the content you want, equipment is of no consequence.
  11. Blu-Ray Hardware
    My only reservation for the Lenovo is Celeron processor. I wouldn't go below Core i3 for video and the like.
  12. Tech Talk - Gadgets, Gizmos and Technology
    Well, I actually had my six tuner Ceton Ethernet-based Cable Card tuner dropped down to four tuners, lost the Epix channels that I subbed to out of the Guide, and as of this week lost the ability to view and record MLB Network with TWC. They now only allow the channel to be accessed on their...
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Too bad your merger attempt didn't go through, eh Comcast. Little bitterness there perhaps?
  14. General DISH™ Discussion
    That's what I wanted to ask celticpride, if there was an actual working display of Dish in the store. Hard to sell what you can't show.
  15. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    I find it easier just to call TWC once a year and let them know it's getting too expensive. Nothing lazy about that. Plus it spares me the possible nightmare a new install can bring.
  16. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    I'm sure he'll do it after the install. And to follow up with peds48's comment, it really is a shock to the system to learn new equipment and channel lineups every other year. I like the best price as much as the next guy, but the upheaval is more than I can bear. I first started paying for TV...
  17. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    The way you posted it originally I read it as bundled service. For me the reason I'm done with satellite service of any kind is the two year contract. As you stated, Cable Internet is why I'd stay...unless fiber comes along.
  18. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    And what Internet would that be? No. Penn Access DSL? Just curious, the number you called to setup your BRC can't be used if you're an existing customer, or did you do it over the web?
  19. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    You were good with the TiVos and BRC. I've had two providers in the last twenty years, TWC and DirecTV, currently TWC because they offer better Internet and I can bundle TV with it. Gran ted, I don't have to deal with TWC's equipment, but I'm at the point where paying for TV is starting to seem...
  20. Internet Streaming Services
    I missed this when it was originally posted, but it sums up my feelings on OITNB as well.
