    It's terrible. They removed the +-15 second buttons and all you can do is rewind an hour. For talk channels, they don't break it out by show any more and it's just a giant 3 hour block that's too small to effectively drag the curser back if you need to hear something again (something the +-15...

    Now that Xfinity dropped it from their regular internet packages, I wonder if they are going to want their streaming box back. It's basically been sitting behind the TV for two years and the only reason I haven't sent it back to them was my dog ate the remote and they wanted the remote back as...
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Just checked it out and it looks like we are getting it. Hopefully this won't interfere with me getting my 45/month discount renewed when it expires in a couple of months. We were about to look at dropping DTV and moving to Hulu live or YTTV. So It's good timing and will put the DTV bill back...
  4. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Has anyone tested the whole home over ethernet part after the receiver has been disconnected for awhile? I know a disconnected box will work for years, and I have several in that state that I use to watch some old content. However, I thought whole home part timed if it didn't get...
  5. DIRECTV General Discussion
    As a 24 year subscriber, I'm not too far behind you. Last year I turned off 3 of my DVR's and switched to the entertainment package and it's still too much. I also look around and probably have 3 if not 4 more receivers that never get turned on. I've loaded two of them up with movies and I...

    People can argue about the interface or color or tiles, but my biggest issues with the flex box is the remote, followed by the remote, followed by the remote again. Imagine having to navigate around the device with a chicklet style keyboard. That's basically what the arrow keys are like on the...

    Xfinity sent me one of the Flex boxes as part of my Internet subscription. The box is slow and the remote is terrible. While the Flex remote has a number pad, you spend most of your time using the arrow keys on the remote and those are awful. On the rare occasion I go to Peacock, I use the...
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    +1 on Houston and +1 on them all saying Virt in the description. The first time I saw it was a couple of weeks ago when I went to add the Showtime free view channels to my custom guide list. No idea how long they have been there,
  9. Sirius XM General Discussion
    On the music side, I mainly listen to Turbo, Hair Nation and Ozzy's Boneyard. I wouldn't say they repeat the same songs every hour, but if you listen for 3 or 4 hours, you'll hear a core set of songs repeated. If you listen to them every day, around the same time each day, you will definitely...

    I’m getting it as well. The audio is completely garbled

    Correct. The last time I looked, I think what we get through Sprint/T-Mobile is equivalent to the $5.99 a month Hulu plan (now it's $6.99). Unfortunately, neither Sprint, nor Hulu, offered a way to get a non-Ad version of Hulu with a $5.99/month discount. I'd actually be interested in a...

    Subscribed to and use regularly Netflix Paramount + Discovery + - picked it up when they had a good discount for a 1 year subscription Disney + - got it back when they were offering 3 years subscriptions before the launch SiriusXM All Access Amazon Music Getting as part of something else and...

    Nope. If I’m going to go out to watch a game, I’d rather go to a sports bar/restaurant that has decent food and free refills
  14. Sirius XM General Discussion
    I tried the same website approach that I used last year and never got a decent deal. So I ended up using chat and told the agent I wanted to keep my $5/month all access plan. They said sure thing and renewed me for another year. I think it was 75ish after all the taxes and fees.
  15. High Definition Displays
    It was mentioned above, but the CX and the C1 are essentially the same TV and based on the reviews on rtings.com, the CX is a little brighter. Since the CX's are starting to get discounted to make room for the C1's, you can probably save several hundred $$'s by going with a CX. For example, at...
  16. Sirius XM General Discussion
    My twelve month, $5/month contract expires in about two weeks. I've gone in a few times over the past couple of weeks and tried the cancel my service, show me a deal to keep my service routine on their website. So far, the only thing they are offering me is XM Mostly music for $13/month. If...

    I just wish the services bundling the free tier with your mobile service would let you add-on the extra couple of dollars for the ad-free tier. We get the Hulu ad-version through our Sprint Unlimited plan (the $6 version of Hulu). However, there is no way for me to upgrade to the ad-free...

    I looked at this some more last night and finally stumbled across the right Google search that may have led me to an answer. I checked the local network permissions listed above and those were all selected (Although Chrome wasn't in the list). I flipped a few off/on just to toggle them and it...

    I looked at my iPhone again last night to make sure. iPhone 6s running IOS 14.4.2, but it was the same for my iPad running one of the 14.x variants. If I am in Chrome on my iPhone, I no longer have the ability to cast to my Sony TV through the Android Chromecast app built into the TV. The...

    For those of you that do Apple Airplay to your Apple TV's, is it stable and does it work reliably? We used to Chrome Cast a lot of Facebook live videos and other sports stuff to our TV's from our iPhones. One of the updates that hit the iPhones last year switched everything to AirPlay and now...
