    YTTV is the best IMO. I added Starz but may change to Showtime. I love the NFL and NHL, but in LA we get the local Rams/Chargers and the local Kings/Ducks games. Also, since YTTV carries NBCS, they show NHL games. And, if you like free stuff to go along with YTTV, i highly recommend Pluto with...
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I was a DTV customer and more recently Spectrum cable subscriber. A couple of months ago i cut the cable cord (i still have Spectrum Internet). I was paying $180+change per month ($92+$60/Internet+$30 in fees). I had the Silver package. But they eliminated many channels but increased the monthly...

    I will be cutting the cord to Spectrum cable soon (but keeping the Internet) and planning on DTV NOW as the alternative. I used to have DTV a few years ago. I will probably use the $40 plan and get the HBO, Starz, Showtime add ons. I will probably lose a few channels that i watch on Cable, like...

    I'm confused, so that means that the top of the line "Gold" package, Spectrum will no longer carry those channels?.....or are they charging for these channels as "add ons"? I will be going to the Spectrum office soon to return my STB and it will be interesting to hear their reasoning.....if...
  5. Cable TV Discussion
    I used to have regular Directv HD a few years ago but it just go too expensive. I have had Time Warner/Spectrum TV/Internet since then and what i used to love about it is the Silver TV package had Premiums (HBO, Cin, Show) and many other channels i watch including Dodgers/Lakers. I do get over...

    My Silver rates went up and my Cinemax channels are no longer, thank you and goodbye to Spectrum TV. I will keep Spectrum High Speed Internet but i will turn the STB in. I will try both Directv NOW and PS Vue, then decide which most appeals to me. The great thing is i can subscribe to NOW for...

    I have decided to purchase a TP-Link AC2300 Router. Main reason is i want to stream 4K comfortably. Spectrum won't ever broadcast in 1080p and above like XFinity or Directv. I paid huge wads of cash for my Sony. So i plan on not cutting the cord but downgrading to the basic package for locals...

    Thanks guys......i think LOL. I think what i'll do is get a router to connect to my modem. I will make sure it's approved by Spectrum. I have high speed Internet and a new 4K TV, so hopefully it will be fine once it's hooked up to the TV, and then eventually get Netflix and/or YTTV/Roku, etc. I...

    .......i would prefer to connect my cable modem to my TV using the LAN/Ethernet port. I tried connecting my modem to the TV but nothing happens. I was told if you only use one device (Computer) that you can do this, that i wouldn't need a Router. Am i connecting correctly, my modem to TV or do i...
  10. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yes, but its better than my cable. My STB doesn't even have 1080p/60fps even though its used by Spectrum but not in my area. My area is small..........only the 2nd largest area in the country.....LOL.
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Thanks. I don't need a DVR, used to have the HD 25. Is the 44 a non dvr? The C61K is a DVR correct? So if i want 4K i must get a DVR no matter what?
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I used to have DTV a few years ago but decided to get Spectrum Cable (i do have Spec Internet and will keep that) and the TV has been great. I recently bought a new 4k TV but i found out they don't carry the latest STB (Moto DCX-3220e), which allows 60 FPS. My current receiver is the 3200, which...
  13. General DISH™ Discussion
    Now that Lebron is now on the Lakers? I have Spectrum TV and already have it, but the only thing thats holding me back from Dish is this one channel. Are there any people canceling Dish and switching over to DTV because Dish is the only carrier not on the list? I heard there is some Dish users...
  14. Cable TV Discussion
    I have Spectrum cable, have heard Apple TV is coming later this year. What does this mean? Will i still be able to keep my Silver package? I primarally watch Like TV with Sports and movie Premiums. I do plan on getting a 4K TV later this year, and Apple seams like a good place for 4K content...
  15. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    Thanks. Don't care about the Dodgers, my main concern was the Lakers. I have Spectrum cable but was considering switching over to Dish if they had the Lakers. I used to have DirecTV but they rip you off by charging just one year with the second year double. Dish shows 2 years guaranteed. I need...
  16. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    DirecTV has the channel.
  17. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    I'm thinking about switching from Spectrum to Dish (used to have DTV but they increase the fee after one year). Dish claims that i can get sports channels in LA. However, from looking at the channels in LA, Sportsnet LA (Lakers), Dish doesn't carry it. Which means no Dish for me. Will Dish...
  18. Cable TV Discussion
    So apparently if i use CC i'm stuck with half the screen with black background and white letters? Pathetic. I use Netflix and the CC is the way it's supposed to be like DTV. Also, on DTV, i used to press the red button on sports channels to keep track of the scores.........anything like that on...
  19. DIRECTV Programming
    Thanks. Actually, i'll already have switched providers by the afternoon . So when i call DTV there is nothing they could do. But the reason i'm putting DTV on hold is in case things don't work out, if they don't, i'll call DTV back in a few months to resume service. But in the morning i'm...
  20. DIRECTV Programming
    When i call DTV tomorrow (Monday), is it a recorded call or is it live? I want to suspend for 6 months, if the person is live do i tell them the reasons? I don't want to be haggled to try to talk me out of it, i just want to suspend my subscription for 6 months to see where i'm at in the Fall.
