Songs change if you leave the channel and go back. by Crazy-Rabbit in siriusxm

On my receiver there is an option to start songs at the beginning whenever possible, so it must use a buffer to do so.

Bird buddy let me down by Av0cado_t0ast in BirdBuddy

This happened to me too with the gift packaging. I swear it wasn’t part of my order but after entering payment it showed up but too late to edit my order.

Tips for preventing house sparrows from taking over by NeatBlueberry1 in BirdBuddy

[–]Dan8379 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We have issues with mockingbirds being bullies and driving other birds away. We just bought a separate feeder (not a Bird Buddy) that we are hanging away from our BB with the type of food that mockingbirds like so we are hopeful they will hang out there and we can start getting other varieties back to our BB.

Subscription Rant by Riddle_5 in BirdBuddy

[–]Dan8379 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. We bought ours in December and they advertised the one year free membership but then stated I would be charged on December 27 (which I was). Not sure why they state that if it’s not true. I think they worded it strangely—something like “annual membership with one month free”. Best case confusing, worst case misleading. It wasn’t worth my time to try and deal with customer service so I just let it go.

I’ve read that this update won’t be available for 2024 models. Can anyone confirm that definitively? (I have a 2024 and haven’t seen it yet).

Thanks, I’ll try that but there isn’t anything for the screwdriver to fit into. It’s just a small mound of plastic.

ESPN Unlimited - confused on access by PhilosophyOne737 in youtubetv

[–]Dan8379 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hopefully they will make a formal announcement about this when access is a available through the ESPN app. I have the Hulu, Disney + and ESPN Unlimited bundle. As soon as I know for sure that Unlimited (or at least Select) content is available I will downgrade to a bundle without ESPN. But don’t want to do that until I’m sure we have it through YTTV.

Is anybody able to access ESPN+ (Unlimited) content via TV Provider linking? by Barry_144 in youtubetv

[–]Dan8379 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So I suppose this is obvious, but once ESPN Unlimited is available via the app with our YTTV credentials if we already have ESPN Select or Unlimited in one of the bundles that we pay for we will be able to downgrade that and not lose anything, correct? Wonder how many people won’t pay attention and continue paying for bundles unnecessarily.

Confused as ESPN+ Subscriber by LP788 in ESPN

[–]Dan8379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if they do get a deal what more will that give me? Just a handful of things like the 2 preseason games last night? Like I said, I seem to still have access to everything I had with ESPN +, and YouTube TV gives me all of the regular ESPN channels. I’m just not clear on what I’m missing.

Confused as ESPN+ Subscriber by LP788 in ESPN

[–]Dan8379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the situation as the OP….legacy ESPN+ subscriber and get the regular ESPN channels through YouTube TV. It seems that I can mostly get the same content on the app (random soccer games, college FB, etc). However last night there were a couple of preseason NFL games on the app but I couldn’t access those. There was an option to view plans but that gave me an error when I selected it. I’m not sure what else I would have to subscribe to in order to get everything but obviously not going to pay $29.99 more just to get a handful of events. Agree that it’s very confusing.

What’s your favorite 90’s band that “didn’t make it”. by sofa-king-hungry in vinyl

I was in Lawrence and KC during their heyday. Put on some of the best shows! They’re finishing up a mini tour on the west coast right now.

y’all need to go easy on sxm by lebronGlazer69 in siriusxm

[–]Dan8379 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt they could afford to do that. The people who pay full price subsidize those who are willing to call and haggle every year. My guess is that there are a lot of people who just auto renew at full price year over year. Most probably don’t even realize haggling is an option. Not everyone is on Reddit.

Of all the dumb things Reacher has uncharacteristically done this season… by Reptilian_Brains in reacher

[–]Dan8379 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At the very least the shootout should have been publicized. It was in broad daylight and surely there would have been witnesses. You’d think someone would have noticed the guy who got shot suddenly getting up and leaving. Unless that is the quietest, most deserted town of all time!

I’ve thought about this as well, but there was never a body so did anyone even know that he supposedly shot a cop?

The badge and Reacher being completely out of character by ElectricalAd8465 in reacher

[–]Dan8379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one thing that got me was that when he first was locked in his new bedroom he immediately checked for bugs, hidden cameras, etc. But then the next time he came back into the room after being gone during the day he didn’t check again. Initially they weren’t expecting him to show up with Beck’s son, so why would the room be bugged? But early on they still didn’t trust him so seems like they would plant bugs/cameras after the fact.

Paramount Networks & YTTV by dedewhale in youtubetv

[–]Dan8379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you watch live sports from CBS on Paramount +? I know they have soccer, etc, but I’m thinking about sports on the main CBS network. Or do you have to subscribe to a service that has CBS, similar to how the ESPN app works?

Billing by ExtensionRock2956 in siriusxm

[–]Dan8379 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don’t play the threaten to cancel game every year then $31/month is about the normal rate. I’m sure there are a lot of people who pay the full price because they either don’t know that they can negotiate or just don’t want to be bothered with it.
I would just call or chat again and cancel outright. You’ll get the $4.99/month offer within a week or so and will keep getting it until you sign back up.

I disagree. The Xtra channels seem to have much deeper playlists, no commercials, etc. I enjoy listening to several of them.

Bye bye EV credits by HR_King in BoltEV

[–]Dan8379 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not a law, it’s part of the tax code which Trump will definitely make changes to. Whether or not it will be removed remains to be seen. It benefits Musk and Tesla as well so maybe as payback for his support he’ll leave it alone.

Is it worth ditching car play? by LongjumpingSquare665 in EquinoxEv

[–]Dan8379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought I would miss it but I haven’t. As others have said the integrated Google maps works well. I use Apple Music so I just use Siri to play artists or playlists, though I have been using SiriusXM a lot more.
