You can share it with four or five others if that makes it any better

Would Sling be the best option for getting some cable channels? I use various streaming services for the shows I watch, but there's a few things that I want to watch live: USA, TNT for rasslin' MSNBC and CNN for news It looks like with Sling that would be $25 for Sling Blue + $5 News Package for $30 a month. $1 a day doesn't feel terrible. That's $25 cheaper than the cheapest special with cable and $20 cheaper than PS Vue. I have Charter and I was using my folk's credentials since I'm only watching a few shows, but that is starting to not work in apps like MSNBC where it won't play live streams any more. I'm guessing because of their zero sign-on tech where they're matching the device to the specific IP for service or something.

I couldn't even bring myself to watch those 20 minute recap shows that get uploaded to YouTube. Especially when I still have 17 days of G1 Climax 29 to get through...

Honestly I’m more interested in TNT in case AEW turns out to be worth watching, and if I’m going to start paying for a service I figured I might to start trying to watch Raw again. But I don’t even know if it’d really be worth it.

I've jumped between DirecTV Now, Sling TV, Playstation Vue, and YouTube TV, and here's what I like most about YouTube TV: -More sports selection -Unlimited cloud DVR -Easy to share a membership with friends/family -Interface seemed better than the others We split our membership 4 ways (you can have 3 concurrent streams going at once), but it has to be with local friends.

I’ve had Sling for a couple years and the app quality has improved from totally laughable (constant crashes on 4th gen ATV, entire shows would play with that loading circle in the middle of the screen) to totally OK and stable. As far as I know it’s the only service which has NFL Redzone, so I don’t see myself switching off any time soon.

Does anyone have this issue? I think it’s new for me... I used to be able to pause a YouTube video and eventually it’d go to screensaver, and then eventually sleep, and then my TV would eventually shut off. This works as expected if I am on the YouTube home screen, but not if I am still paused in a video. Anyone else experience this? I’ve only realized when I wake up in the morning and my TV is still on and the video is still paused on screen.

Real quick, is it possible to watch today's keynote on ATV? I vaguely remember there being some kind of Events app but I also vaguely remember it being a WWDC thing?

Thanks for that, viewing was successful. It did, however, remind me that I have an Actual Problem. Video, but not sound, cuts out for about a second every ten minutes or so. This happens in various, but seemingly not all, apps; so far it’s happened in BBC iPlayer and Apple Events, but not Netflix. This is on the current gen ATV 4K. Video out is 4K60. This happens with match frame rate/dynamic range both on and off. Notably, it seems to not happen when switching down to 4:2:0 chroma, which suggests a dodgy HDMI cable, which is an explanation I’d accept instantly if it happened in Netflix too, or if audio was cutting out too like the last time I had an HDMI problem, or if the cable I’m using was something that came with some tech rather than a cable I specifically bought on the recommendation of the HDTV thread. Is an HDMI cable problem consistent with the problem described? If not, what else should I try?

ufarn posted:Sounds like a cable issue. Apple TV/tvOS has its own display test or whatever you can run that should tell you whether your cable is good or not. Had a similar issue and a new cable fixed it, whatever it was. Hrm. The test says everything “looks good” and that my cable supports the signal (with 4:2:2 set), but I have no idea what it’s actually testing or how it knows that. Maybe I’ll just buy some new cables anyway?

Their TV offering should just have been the back catalogues of Friends, Seinfeld, The Office etc that everyone is always fighting over. Hell pay stupid amounts of money for reunions. Too much good TV out there now anyway, who the gently caress can keep up.

Nothing looks very interesting to me on the service but I’m happy it’s at least cheap, maybe it’ll put pressure on Netflix to lower their prices.
