    IMHO, slow uptake isn't due to differences in UI/UX, it's because most people subscribe to just a single service. Many use Netflix or such as a supplement to their traditional pay TV service. Others "cut the cord" to save money, and probably think it doesn't make sense to subscribe to more than...

    Sling TV has some channels which are live linear stream only. The Turner family of channels are this way, with no VOD. AMC Networks channels are too, with select titles available via VOD, such as The Walking Dead. I like what the AMC Networks backed Shudder.tv does, offering a pristine...

    Yesterday it was announced that MLB.TV has reached a lawsuit settlement that will result in lower MLB.TV and MLB Extra Innings costs, and more. Here are the details: MLB.TV: Price lowered from $129.99 to $109.99. MLB can only increase the price per year (through 2020) by three percent or the...

    Here's the reason for the price drop: http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2016/2/11/10966352/mlb-tv-lawsuit-settlement-details-extra-innings-mlb-tv-packages-cheaper Because I've been a MLB.tv subscriber, I received an email about this yesterday. There's some good news beyond the price reductions...

    I too loved it. In particular, I thought the look of the leads fit the story-line nicely -- Gillian Anderson thin and angular, like she'd lost weight due to depression. David Duchovny haggard and jowly, like he spent decades in disillusionment. Mitch Pilleggi looked great, like no time had gone...

    I didn't say the technology was new. The application of it though is new and innovative.

    No, I knew that. "Thanks"

    That it brings its own WiFi hotspot without a monthly fee is a darned cool and innovative idea.

    I moved into an apartment several months ago. I had DirecTV service and was told by the property management company that I could have a satellite TV dish installed on the balcony, so I made sure to get a unit with line of site. It was only when the DirecTV installer came out that I was told...
  10. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Sounds good. This is worrying though: "a common platform based upon DirecTV hardware". DirecTV's hardware is utter crap. But clearly they're eying a cloud DVR service, which could greatly reduce the hardware profile. That and the other features sound high speed Internet intensive to me though...

    Granted. It could still be pretty great though with the ABC and CBS games and NFL RZ playing.
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Dish has it all over DirecTV/AT&T when it comes to hardware. I like their EPG better too, and would like it even more with a dark theme. Notice that Dish continues to up the ante annually at CES while DirecTV... doesn't. DirecTV does have the edge in programming though, clearly, especially if...

    If you could use it with an Apple TV without the need of (often crappy) hotel WiFi, that'd be very attractive to me. It seems like that should be possible, even if you're just casting from an iPad. A native Apple TV iOS app would be way better though.

    Some time ago, probably more than a year ago, I read a short article about AMC Networks announcing their intention to branch out into online streaming services. It was indicated that their original series, such as The Walking Dead, would NOT be part of such a service because of AMC Networks'...

    According to the Wikipedia page, Red Oaks was greenlit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Studios

    Yes, it is, that's how Amazon's Pilot Season works though. For instance, the pilot episode of The Man in the High Castle debuted on January 15, 2015. I was surprised that they dropped the second episode on October 23 ahead of the rest of the episodes, but they had screened it at San Diego Comic...

    No, it's just the pilot. If the series gets greenlit, the full season would drop about this time next year. I was really disappointed with Edge. Good cast, really bad script. Missed opportunity.

    Ahead of all episodes of 2015's Amazon Pilot Season standout The Man in the High Castle dropping on Amazon Instant Video, Amazon has released a new crop of pilot episodes for 2016: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1001155581 I only found one concept interesting, the...

    Yep, I'm happy with it. I'm receiving one channel from 59 miles away. Because I live in an apartment, I bought a tripod from Amazon to mount the antenna on.

    I've gone through some frustrations with indoor OTA antennas. Tried a couple flatennas similar to the Mohu Leaf and an RCA unit that was more substantial and supposedly multi-directional. I also tried combining different units with a coaxial splitter. Still no dice -- no indoor solution I tried...
