    Technically its a "go to the quoted post" arrow, but that takes too long, so "Up Arrow" works for me haha It's the highlighted "up" arrow.
  2. The Movies
    That's cool!! Maybe I'll take my son tomorrow night, thanks for the post!! Princess Bride would be awesome to see in Oct too!
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I agree, and was one of my main reasons for going to PSVue. I have a TV in my office upstairs that I haven't turned on in MONTHS, just because I'm just not up there enough. But to have access to the channels I pay for on DirecTV I had to pay $7 a month just for that privilege. Now I have an old...
  4. Home Theater Audio
    I saw this 5.1 soundbar in the Best Buy ad on Sunday. Seems like it would be perfect for a bedroom or even a den setup where a dedicated AVR and speakers aren't needed. Wireless subwoofer and the rear speakers are wired to the sub so if you place the sub near the back, definitely less wire to...
  5. Tech Talk - Gadgets, Gizmos and Technology
    Well this was a fun little experiment and project. Could be helpful to anyone else wanting to do something like this in their own setups. First is the 21v SWM power supply WILL power the DECA adapters: Secondly this works GREAT! Got it set up in my living room and while the Netflix speed test...
  6. Tech Talk - Gadgets, Gizmos and Technology
    Awesome, looks like I have a little project for this weekend :) Going a little further, would I be able to use the CCK I have that looks like this: and be able to use the other 2 DECA's to do this for internet at 2 coax locations?? Also when you mention power supply for the DECA, how would I...
  7. Tech Talk - Gadgets, Gizmos and Technology
    This thread got me thinking....I've disconnected my DirecTV service and sent everything back....but I do still have a few DECA boxes and a wired CCK laying around. Would I be able to make those work to send an ethernet signal to my main TV over coax since I don't have any CAT5 to that location...
  8. Internet Streaming Services
    I have yet to break 300 gb of my 1TB cap on Xfinity and I've been streaming only since Oct. Granted I live alone except when my son is with me so I could see how a bigger household could have a higher bandwidth usage.
  9. Internet Streaming Services
    I like that feature too....sometimes use it more than Pandora on my FireTV's and have come away from some songs laughing to myself that I had the lyrics totally wrong LOL
  10. DIRECTV General Discussion
    ....but they got a nickel from me! LOL And no, this isn't a "I hate DirecTV thread". It's just funny, how when I had suspended my account I had a $0.00 balance, but for some reason when I finally cancelled I had a $.05 balance due o_O Oh well, wasn't worth the headache to try and call or chat...
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    That is correct about PS Vue not having 5.1...I was disappointed too but the savings were too much to pass up for that minor (to me) detail.
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I cancelled this past weekend after having my service suspended for the last 5 months. They didn't even try to keep me, not that it would have changed my decison but just thought that was odd haha. Oh well, very happy with PSVue and Netflix on all 4 of my Amazon Fire TV's for $44.98 a month (+...
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Good to know, I'm going to be selling a couple owned HR's so I hope a potential buyer would be able to verify their owned status :)
  14. Tech Talk - Gadgets, Gizmos and Technology
    I had a 24" Insignia Flat front CRT TV that I used to have on my back patio at a former house I owned. Then it was a garage TV for a while. It took a VERY long time to sell it on Craigslist for $10 last year. I almost was starting to think I'd have to actually PAY someone to take it off my hands...
  15. TV Show Talk
    I REALLY like this show, but that scares me as shows I really like end up short lived :( I hope that's not the case with this one.
  16. Tech Talk - Gadgets, Gizmos and Technology
    I have been only streaming my TV since middle of last month and so far this billing cycle I'm at around 260gb for the month (my billing cycle starts on the 1st of the month). Granted its just me and my son half the time and we don't watch TOO much TV, but that's also with a desktop, laptop, 2...
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yeah I haven't tried that yet, I'll have to do an experiment next time I'm home....but as Aridon mentioned above you can kind of work around it...it works differently because the shows are not recording on your device, they are "recording" in the cloud and then you stream them to your device...
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    The guide, when you first start out, is in Alphabetical order, however my local ABC affiliate streams through Vue and that's first, followed by Fox On Demand, then NBC On Demand. My local CBS affiliate doesn't stream through Vue, so I don't have access to any CBS content. Once you take the time...
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Well, its been a full month of having a paid Playstation Vue subscription and 12 days since I put my DirecTV account on suspension. I thought I'd come give an update on how its been....GREAT! I'm really liking it so far. I've gotten the channels I watch in my favorites list and so far aside from...
  20. TV Show Talk
    I'm kind of leaning that way as well. There were times this season I had 3 sometimes 4 episodes stacking up on my DVR before I could get time to catch up on them. Don't know how much I'd be able to keep up with another season, especially now with baseball playoffs coming and NFL just starting haha.
