    Worth a chuckle over morning coffee to see HARSH still pisses folks off…by his very presence on Earth, sometimes. Har!

    Small digression: Every few years, I return to experimenting with voice control of video...and leave it for others. The (small) reduction in satisfaction with the process (of watching TV) is sufficient to maintain button pressing as a lesser distraction.

    Signed up the 2nd or 3rd month they were advertising. Never looked back.

    Ditto...and screw 'em all. Suggestions on the latter are always welcome.

    That is a bargeload of posts, Harsh. My wife even comments from the kitchen... Harsh is still there, eh?

    Y'all never worked in traffic management. Answer to question "Do we have anymore HR44s in stock?" ..."Yes' but, it's the wrong production run/" ..."Close enough - send 'em somethin'."

    Dunno if I'm describing really great HD or 4K; but, soccer fans all know the first match of the day, Saturday and Sunday, from a few of the services offering Euro/UK footie send us that match in 4K. Always looking better than anything else the rest of the day. I realize I could be wrong on the...

    Also preordered ATV4K. But, I've been using AirPlay to stream Amazon Prime Video all along. Need it for my Bluetooth headphones because my 4K TV doesn't Bluetooth. Expect Amazon to bite the bullet sooner or later and join in. Meanwhile, VUE improves every month. Still waiting on DirecTVNow to...

    A few months experience, now, sat-cutting and specifically when cloud dvr well designed and implemented, no problem with FF Cloud dvrs. Watching Vue and a bit of Sling, shared between households w/3-5 screens simultaneously. Apple TV and Harmony 650 remotes, and I ff and rw easily most times...

    I have the smallest pkg = $30/month Most expensive pkg is 90 channels + HBO & Showtime = $65/month

    Love the crawl and sidebar because investors need real news and I'm a news junkie, anyway. Handle investing slow and patiently, my own research mostly, through many sources. Get real-time quotes through my broker's website.
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Been a pretty good 22+ years with DirecTV. Both of us retired, now. Close-to-fixed incomes. Smaller tastes, as well. Tired of negotiating a year's worth of discounts requiring a two-year contract. Called the mothership on Monday and signed off. We experimented over the weekend with...

    Just got confirmation from a CSR on eligibility Select and up. Says they only get software content upgrades monthly so he had to ask higher up the food chain for confirmation. Haven't been around for a spell. Been working at reducing video expenses. BUT - considering Comcrap went by the...

    ATV app shd be out soonest. They used an ATV for the dog-and-pony show. The Go Big pkg was announced with the $35 early adopter price grandfathered in for life. Not fixed price forever; but, bottom price forever. For 100 channels. I watch <35. Only one missing from cheapest pkg for me is...

    Up to a week ago I was ready to do the same. Can't get a small enough and affordable package for what I watch nowadays. Been with D* 22 years. Xfinity looked to be a sound technical choice - especially with fibre to the house which goes back to TCI just before Comcast bought them. Then...

    Sorry; but, half the functionality of DVRs is setting recordings in advance of an event. Just because sales and marketing decides to make life "easier" doesn't justify a lack of functional understanding. "Better handles" what for whom? Eliminating a convenience doesn't better handle anything...

    This is the kind of crap I was afraid would start with AT&T. I doubt if they even have a marketing department other than folks still trying to sell landline subs. Meanwhile, between AppleTV apps and ComCrap and DISH both starting to offer comparable tech - even with mediocre GUI/apps/software...

    32-64gb SSD in the AppleTV current gen and cloud storage available for whenever they decide to switch on DVR capability. I don't think my system is especially hot; but, with 80211 a/c, 50mbps min download speed in my neighbrhood, 1 year-old Vizio P series TV, I stream HD upscaled to 4K...
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Happy with a Vizio P series which I believe is now the M. If I have the competing option, I'll watch sports via AppleTV - 1080p is better upscaled than 1080i to my eyes. But, D* works fine for everything for me. Love it. We rearranged the LR furniture...moved everything closer. :-] Sent...
