  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    After reading this thread I'm glad I've been DirecTV-free for the past 10 or so years.
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I am, for the first time in I don't know how long, without any live TV service--cable, satellite or streaming. I turned off my Sling TV, effective yesterday, and I don't miss a thing. I still have access to Sling TV Freestream but I haven't even tried it in months.

    How much longer until Sinclair has a product that no one can afford to purchase?

    You do realize that "dual live buffers" is a hardware-specific feature (two physical tuners feeding a physical hard drive,) right? As streaming services are not hardware dependent, they have no way to offer dual live buffers.

    Sling TV, in response to recent price increases by YouTube TV and fuboTV, has announced a one year price guarantee, effective August 1, 2020. Prices will be frozen for all customers on that date for the next year, until August 1, 2021. They are also offering a two week free trial for customer...

    It's not whether MeTV is on a full power station, it's whether the station takes on MeTV as its primary affiliation. While I worked at Dish, a Nashville station switched its primary affiliation to MeTV. When they did that, Dish had to block access to MeTV from channel 247.

    Sling just announced a price freeze until August 2021 for all current and new subscribers who sign up by August 1st of this year. Sling TV Won't Raise Prices for Existing Customers, Guaranteed Through August 2021 | Cord Cutters News

    You could still add an external hard drive (up to 2TB) to your 222k and make it into a garden variety DVR. There's an one time $40 fee but no DVR fees after that. It would have limited series record functions, if at all.

    The PDF is four years out of date and there hasn't been an update here in over a year.
  10. General DISH™ Discussion
    Considering that Dish owns Sling TV, I don't think they're that worried...

    That's because the "Fox" RSNs are owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group now--and they have their eye on the AT&T/NBC RSNs next: Sinclair turns attention to AT&T sports nets - WSJ - Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:SBGI) | Seeking Alpha

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to this. I learned Monday, via the Cord Cutters News YT update, that while CBS only has negotiation authority for it's O&O stations when dealing with DirecTV, it has negotiating authority for the entire network when it comes to DirecTV NOW. That's why it could...

    I don't have DTV any more, but I have DTV Now. My local CBS station is NOT an O&O, but an affiliate owned by Griffin Communications--yet this morning, when I went to watch KOTV-6, all I found was the takedown page. Either AT&T screwed up in taking down a non-O&O station or CBS is overstepping...

    Funny, but I watched the Dallas PBS station for about two hours last Sunday night without any hassle. Even funnier, I'm in Tulsa, but they say that the Dallas stations are my "locals."

    I updated my DirecTV Now apps on my Rokus the day the update was announced. I got the improved guide, the Cloud DVR and... Local channels from Kansas City, MO, instead of my Tulsa, OK locals! It's a good thing I have good reception with OTA antennas.

    I've been somewhat negligent in my reporting, but I'd like to report that, as of November 1st, the Tulsa CBS affiliate, KOTV-6, was added to the DirecTV Now lineup. This means that DirectV Now is the only OTT service that offers all four major network affiliates in Tulsa, OK. I think this is...

    I just got a notice from DirecTV Now that they added my CBS affiliate to the lineup. I'm watching KOTV-6 now and it looks good. I now have all four of the major OTA networks. The only channel I wish I had from D*Now is the local CW affiliate as it carries the final hour of the morning news from...

    I have it on both my TCL Roku TV and Streaming Stick but haven't watched it as of yet.
  19. Internet Streaming Services
    Broadcast news shows almost always have atrocious closed captioning mistakes because they are mostly transcribed in real time without the benefit of a written script in front of the transcriber. Those programs that transcode via the script have their own problems--often, parts of the script not...

    I received an email yesterday that D* Now has added my local Fox affiliate KOKI, so that makes it three of the four major networks available in Tulsa. I hope that Griffin Communications will agree to let KOTV 6 be carried by D* Now and I really home that D* Now picks up KQCW, the CW affiliate...
