    I’m still not convinced that the League is going to get quite as big a payday out of any deal for it. We already know the Sunday Ticket package is a money loser and that has to affect any deal going forward.

    Yeah, voice channels is doable on the AppleTV, but it is somewhat inconsistent. Voice trickplay (FF.REW and so forth) doesn’t work at all on AppleTV but i think it does on Fire and maybe Roku.

    For the couple of days they had it working for me on the ATV I noticed no problems. Well no problems until they turned it off. :(

    Even so, implementing 5.1 isn’t brain surgery and there is no valid excuse for not having iplementing it. They even had it working on AppleTV for a very short time.

    The 5.1 audio is there on ATV, Roku, FireTV and probably others. As to using a Harmony and selecting channels with keypad, theoretically it should but I’ve not seen any reports of someone trying. It is a question asked a fair bit, just no answers that I’ve seen. REW and FF and pause all work as...

    Well that ‘extra cash’ isn’t just getting me RSN’s I don’t watch, it is getting me the excellent Osprey box, the best PQ on any live streaming service and 5.1 audio on nearly every live channel. And for all the *****ing I’ve done about Stream, I always seem to come back to it. I think it is the...

    At the speed they do upgrades it will be next year, right after they get 5.1 audio done.

    no. I’ve had YTTV a few times. From a channel standpoint it should be the one. But the UI just sucks especially the DVR portion. Hulu & Fubo just don’t have the right mix for me.
  9. Internet Streaming Services
    Yeah, the cost differential is about the same as RSN cost, which is irritating since I’ve never watched an RSN. :( I would prefer more of the national sports channels and no RSN’s, but alas, they don’t have that.
  10. Internet Streaming Services
    Yeah, 2 tiers would make more sense imo. Now it is 4 tiers, pretty much all of them at a premium price considering what’s in them. Adding Golf to Choice makes it very close in channel count and mix of types to YTTV’s base sub, but at a $25 penalty. Switched to Choice which renews the end of...

    I think you are right, ‘new in your library’ is just a mess with little value. On the D*Stream side of things, seems there is some movement coming for some channels to be added, subtracted and moved to cheaper sub levels...

    That’s a year old article

    I think the algorithm is just to look at recorded date and put newest first regardless of whether or not the episode is the newest. If Google would get off their asses and get 5.1 audio out on all the streaming boxes, I could live with the other shortcomings.

    Yes i have the same thing with the peacock app, but since it works fine i don’t worry about it,
  15. Internet Streaming Services
    Yeah I can deal with it, just really don’t like it, or much else about their UI. From purely a channels for dollars standpoint, YTTV is an amazing bargain. But poor UI and lack of 5.1 audio support on most devices just turns me off. Stream @Ultimate level fits me better though it has many more...
  16. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    That’s a plus for me since I have no interest at all in going way back to D* DBS. :)
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Yeah, working from memory it certainly seems like the Osprey is a much better box than any I got when I had D* satellite. The only complaints I have is that you can’t install some 3rd party apps on it, like Apple’s TV+ and AMC+ app is very twitchy on it, but to be fair AMC+ app is not very good...

    Still not getting 5.1 w/YTTV on AppleTV 4K. Stats for nerds shows MP4 stereo. I guess my biggest complaint with YTTV is how they handle their unlimited DVR. In Library on the app, it has a selection of ‘new in your library’. Common sense would make you think that would be the most current...

    In another forum it was stated that the 9 month retention is in some sort of beta for a few people, but will be extended to all at some point
  20. Internet Streaming Services
    They didn’t actually have a free trial before. You would be charged at some point and if you cancelled before 14 days, they would refund. IOW, a convoluted way to do it.
