  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Thanks for the info, Rich and Brian! Guess I'll stick with PS Vue even though their recent price hike annoys me, it's still cheaper than D* after all those extra fees and in ease of use I actually prefer PS Vue.
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have been pondering coming back as well. So when the deal says I would get the Choice package for $30, is my bill actually going to be $30/month or are they still adding $20 or $25 a month for HD and DVR fees? That kind of nonsense is why I left in the first place. Will I do better if I...

    CraigT1, I noticed the exact same stuttering issues you did when watching PSVue on the PS3. Like you said, Netflix/Amazon Prime play just fine on my PS3 but not PSVue. I then tried PSVue on my Roku 2 and it works great, stuttering is gone and I get a solid 720p/60fps like other posters here...

    Thank you, that is exactly the information I was looking for! Sucks about the no DVR, but it's still better than HBO Now by itself.

    Does anyone know if you can watch HBO live on the PSVue app and also through HBO Now if you subscribe to HBO through PS Vue? I looked on their web page and it looks like subscribing to HBO through PSVue gets you access to HBO Now but it doesn't say if you also get the live channel.

    That's not true anymore, PSVue has every sports channel I want (NBCSN, Fox Sports 1 and 2, ESPNs and even the SEC channel) in their lowest package. I now pay $30/month for what D* was charging me $95/month for before I left. I am not in a position to do a head to head picture quality...

    The DVR is different: it's better than DTV in that you have no storage concerns whatsoever. It is also easier to set a show to record, e.g. you say I want to add CSI to My Shows and you can then call up CSI episodes on any channel that it airs. PSVue also has ondemand and login authorization...

    But my eyes are all I have :) I can tell a definite difference between watching PSVue on Roku and watching on PS3. Roku looks better and has better framerate (looks very smooth to me) but no guide.

    I was missing my UEFA Champions League too much so I started the free trial on PS Vue a couple of days ago. I was watching on my PS3 and the Fox Sports 1 stream definitely didn't seem to be 60fps, it was watchable though. If it matters, I was watching it on the cloud DVR and not live. My...

    I had this stuttering problem a lot with hockey games on various channels with my old HR20. One of the many reasons I cut the cord, I watched GoT on my Roku2 with HBO Now Sunday night and it looked fantastic.

    So are you suggesting I should remove the card before sending the receiver back? There was only the big envelope for the receiver, no smaller envelope for just the card.
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    To add to whatever knowledge people are keeping track of on this topic, I cancelled last week and was told on the phone that they only wanted the card from my HR20. Today I get a plastic envelope that says to put the receiver in it and mail it back with the prepaid postage sticker on it. If I...

    I think I'm cancelling too. I have been a part time subscriber for the last two years but if I read their website right, it would cost $95 a month after HD and DVR fees to get the minimum package that has NBCSN for the NHL playoffs. I'd swear that figure was $80 last year. I have been getting...

    I certainly hope so. The days of ESPN and friends bidding ridiculous sums of money for contracts and making up the difference by raising everyone's rates need to end ASAP. They've been playing that game too long.

    There's not enough time in the day to watch every TV show, that's why reviews exist.
  16. DIRECTV Programming
    When I got Primestar in 1995, I just had to sign a paper that said I couldn't receive my local channels and I got all of Primestar's East/West network affiliates, no test required. After D* bought out Primestar a couple of years later and my account was transferred to D*, the networks were...

    Does anyone know the free preview dates for the middle of the season?

    So I take it a regular PS3 user can't get this, it's only for Playstation Vue which is like in 3 cities or something right now? Would get this if I could. EDIT: To answer my own question, according to the Playstation Blog, Showtime streaming at $10.99/month is now available nationwide via the...

    So what does Hulu Plus have that regular Hulu doesn't? Their own website does a terrible/nonexistent job of explaining this.

    I finally got it figured out. The hoops they make you jump through to get HBO Now are ridiculous. After much trial and error, I finally got my tablet upgraded to Android OS version 4.2 so I can use the HBO Now app and sign up. Wish Showtime would do something similar instead of going through...
