Re: Cord Cutters Unit
It's not that hard at all. You select the "add" button and it gives you the option record a single episode, the entire series, or to set up other options.tree_ wrote:i read it's hard to record single episodes for shows? what does this mean?Monkey_Driven wrote:It's very similar to Hulu Live and very easy to navigate/search.

I have mine set up to record every PGA event, NBA, NFL, and Mizzou sporting event that is televised. You're not limited on space, so they exist in my library for two years. Every recording of a sports broadcast also creates a playlist of "key plays" that you can watch after the game is over. In addition, you can pause a live event and pick it up at that spot on your TV, phone, etc. at any time. I often watch games in segments due to family responsibilities, so I enjoy being able to pause games and catch up later.

Re: Cord Cutters Unit
I'll probably switch over from Directv soon, before the NFL season starts. I'm trepidatious because our internet sucks, but I think it'll work well enough for our needs. Thanks for your help, MD

Re: Cord Cutters Unit
I'd recommend testing your internet with a trial version of YouTubeTV before you cancel Direct TV. I funnily enough had way more connection issues with satellite TV over the years than I've had with YouTubeTV, but your mileage may vary.tree_ wrote:I'll probably switch over from Directv soon, before the NFL season starts.

You could! I rarely actually watch most of what I've recorded, but it's nice to have games so easily accessible if someone has a legendary game or something.bada wrote:Monkey_Driven wrote:It's not that hard at all.

No, I wasn't a fan of the team at the time (I was 4 and lived in a different state), but I'm still oddly upset about it years later.doug rr wrote:do you have the 5th down game on tape?Monkey_Driven wrote:You could!

I haven't been able to get out of my Sirius XM subscription for the past 10 years for this same reason. I just find it easier to call them every 6 months and accept their deal of only $2.99/month for the streaming only subscription.tree_ wrote:mannn cancelling directv is painful.. pulling teeth like a damn divorce from a super needy partner.. so many questions.. i just said i'm going to take up hiking and avoided all the other questions "JUST CANCELLING SO CANCEL IT PLEASE"

My wife does too but they always get us for full price one month when the deal expires. I imagine that's part of the model.Monkey_Driven wrote:Haha, I do this too.E.H.

Why can no streaming services have a rewind/fast forward function that works smoothly?

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Re: Cord Cutters Unit
My biggest concerns are how will I watch:
Regular Season MLB
Post Season MLB
March Madness
An antenna will cover most of the NFL.

Just subscribe to YouTube TV/Hulu TV for those two months for the latter two. Does your team have a local RSN that has an online pass?CopperTom wrote:My biggest concerns are how will I watch:
