    Bought it when it came out and then returned it. Doesn't give me anything I care about over my roku 3 and is missing several things I do. And the plex app on it is borked and to my knowledge it's never been fixed. Looking forward to trying out the new android tv.

    I can talk to my phone to have it do stuff but I don't. I just type what I want. I don't know anyone who talks at their phone other than maybe text to speech while texting. I really think yelling at your tv isn't the way to go.

    It's not a netflix issue. It's your ISP throttling netflix traffic. Comcast, time warner, verizion, they all do it. And some others. For me netflix is always consistant.
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I think the point(for me at least) is to get rid of direct tv. Having to pay them to get this on my box that is designed to get rid of them seems kinda pointless(to me). I'd rather pay the channels directly and cut out the middle man. Why is it these channels don't go direct to the consumer...

    Wonderful time to cut the cord!

    Something I discovered a few weeks ago on my Roku 3. It now supports "casting". Like you would on a chromecast. So far youtube, netflix and plex all support it. Pretty slick. Thought i'd share for those who don't know.

    If you add the plex channel you can add "channels" to it. Basically abc, cbs, nbc, fox, HGTV, Food network, A&E, syfy, discovery and so on. It basically interfaces with their websites and allows you to play everything any provider has on their website. And for the most part the quality is...

    I got the update today on my Roku 3. Pretty damn nice!

    I'd be happier if they would work on delivery HD audio with their HD streams.

    Oh I have remotes, that's not the issue, there's no netflix or amazon or any of the other streaming service plugins for WMC. Not even for XBMC. Also needs to be usable by the wife and kids. The roku does it all with ease. The only thing I keep the HTPC around for is to play bluray rips when...

    Anything of quality for online streaming on just about any platform is going to require a separate subscription. That said, my favorite roku app is plex. I have an xbox I could stream on but don't want a gold subscription to do it. I have two htpc's in my house but getting a nice streaming...

    I just signed up for both amazon prime and netflix since getting my roku so I can make some direct comparisons. As far as websites go I prefer the layout of netflix better. However the picture quality on amazon is better and more of what I watch is in 5.1 surround on amazon whereas the same...

    It's not that a person can't afford it, nor is it about feeling entitled. They don't owe me a discount, nobody here is saying they do. It's about not paying more for something than you really have to. I look for discounts in all things. Paying more than you have to for anything is just stupid...

    Why is that? Poorly trained installers? With both dish and direct the installers here have always come on time and completed the job in a single trip without issue. Sometimes even going the extra mile. The last direct installer took down the Dish network dishes so I could return the LNB's to...

    I have had both over the years. I watch TV on a 1080p projector on a 145" screen and honestly I can't see the difference between the two in terms of HD, SD does look better on Dish but I avoid SD at all costs. In terms of signal strength it has a lot to do with your installer. Since I tend...

    Not really. One appointment every 2 years maybe? Not a big deal. I also don't memorize channel line ups. I just create a custom guide and use that to get to what I want. However since 95% of what I watch is DVR'd I don't scroll through the guide often.

    Saving money increases the value. Why pay more of it's possible to pay less for the same thing? It never hurts to ask.
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Well yes you can keep your package but why pay full price? It's always a good idea to negotiate a better deal.
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Why not?
