Medullah posted:Hulu is included free with a few Sprint plans too, with no real option to upgrade to the ad free plan discounted. Spotify just rolled this out for anyone with Premium. It's nice I guess, but it sucks that you don't have a way to go ad free. I didn't even know Hulu had moved away from a free tier of service.

I recently noticed that our Sony Android TV had the option to add Sling as a channel source, similar to Google Play Movies & TV and Haystack TV. It's been there for a few months now, but any time I try to add it in I get an error about the feature not being enabled. I've done some looking around, but haven't been able to phrase the query in such a way that google results aren't useless. Does anyone know anything about this? Edit: Naturally I found this right after posting. Warbird fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Mar 20, 2020 |

Is that just included in the usually subscription of HBO Max or is it an additional fee like Disney is doing?

Sling has had a thing for integrating as a “channel” input for our tv for like a year and a half and they haven’t enabled it yet. Drives me goddamn nuts. Our former roommate works for Dish or whoever owns them and hooked us up so I can’t really complain. Though goddamn I wish they’d get that going and fix their Oculus app.

Apparently the new season of good eats is a d+ exclusive. Idk about the rest of that stuff but that’s about enough to get me to try it alone.

HDHomerun has “free” DVR by way of Plex. Assuming you have Plex Pass that is.

Sling having floated the option of integration into AndroidTV as a channel source and never actually doing it drives me batty. Meanwhile the Chromecast TV does it don’t and it’s great. Dammit.

Enos Cabell posted:If you have any outlets in the attic you could hook your network tuner into a powerline adapter and leave it all up there. It bears mentioning that attic temps and humidity ranges are usually well outside the recommended range of most power line adapters and HDHomeRuns. I’ve been thinking about doing something similar for a bit but that’s fairly expensive tech to risk ruining. Frankly I’m thinking about getting a exterior antenna and running to coax down to a lower level and hooking that into a HDHR.

Agreed. Always always always get the call ID/ticket/incident number or whatever when you talk to them and note it down somewhere. Then if things get a bit different than agreed upon you call/email back and provide receipts that will usually make them hop to whatever they were supposed to do. Telecom IT is a nightmare so it wouldn’t be beyond the pale for someone to have screwed up and the whole business got memory holed. Some years back I got a similar runaround with Comcast and a router upgrade. Kept the ids and used that “Email the Vice President” thing they had at the time and said “You all said x, y, z on calls q, r, s. What’s up?” and it was sorted within 2 days. Got the direct line to the local repair tech as well which was nice. Remember, flies with sugar and so forth.

Our Sony TV outsources the OTA guide info to some company they don’t own anymore and the guide experience is just rear end now. You’d think that something could be tweaked to use a different provider since it’s all just android but apparently not. Do any of the manufacturers have a decent OTA interface?

So you can run an adblocker at the DNS level but that won’t be much help to you as most ad serving video providers pull their ads from the same DNS as the actual content. Browser based ad blocking doesn’t work the same way and is thus able to work as you’d expect.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an IPTV viewer I can toss on my Sony Android TV? I've been playing around with services to stream out my local content and while I'll likely use some proxy nonsense to get it all bundled together into Plex with my actual antenna stuff I'd like to be able to toss it on without being assed to type in URLs into VLC. Bonus points if they can be hooked into the "live" section like you can with SlingTV.
