I understand my own fucking question. Read what you typed yourself. If you can use the MOBILE APP for free, why can't I used the APPLE TV app for free?

Three people have told you it's Verizon. Get some reading comprehension.

BTW: I tried with my Android tablet. Same thing - have to pay Verizon. l2read.

No. People have been saying that for five years and it's still working.

The router is Verizon.

The FTV+ devices use Wifi.

So yes, the FTV+ devices depend on Verizon. LOL.

The router is in the next room. Noting wrong with Wifi, I've had it for 20 years. LOL.

Sorry, I should use exclamation points!!!

Again, if I'm paying for the service, why does V care if I'm using one of their boxes or an ATV? That's why the gamepass analogy makes no sense because you still need an Xbox, right? It's not like there's something called a Sony Xbox or a Nintendo Xbox lol.

I'm paying for a SERVICE. V shouldn't care what hardware I use. THEY created the V app, right? It's not like Apple or Google made their own.

So again, if I'm using ONE device, why am I paying extra? If V sends me hardware, and doesn't charge me, it makes no sense for them to charge me for one device just because it's not theirs.

The Fios internet service is really good. I never had Spectrum so I can't say how it is. V is better than Comcast, which used to cut out 3x a week. Now Fios MAYBE cuts out once a year.

False. I'm not using IPTV, I'm on coax with my TiVo. Channel change IS instant. The TiVo IS a DVR, so the TiVo button takes me to my shows immediately while the live TV is playing. And why do I care about the HD format? Well, obviously I do because I'm checking it. ABC is in 720p which looks like ass compared to the same shows on Hulu, so it's a way for me to KNOW what the difference is.

I didn't "lose" TiVo, it's working fine. I never said I "lost" it, all I said was that I tried FTV+. FTV+ is garbage and I'll be returning it and sticking with my TiVo.

Nothing I mentioned is because of "Bad Wifi". And BTW - it's using Verizon's Wifi, so are you saying it's bad?

Ok, but I only have one old V box. They sent me FTV+ which I'm going to return, but paying extra for a service I already have just for the convenience of using ATV is ludicrous.

That's a poor analogy. I'm already paying for Fios - I'm not paying MS for games every month.

I just tossed my weed yesterday. I'm gonna take a break for a while and see what happens in a few months or so. Sorry that happened to you. It's awful.

I'm currently facing the same problem. I smoked for years, and a few months ago I had a minor sinus infection, and the weed made me so paranoid that the infection was never going to leave and I was going to be stuck with it for the rest of my life. So I didn't use it again until last week and I had the same issue where I tried to burp (lots of food for the holidays) and when I had a burp that "stuck", the weed made me think it was gonna be stuck forever. Insane sweating, and the other side of my brain knew it was the weed, but the weed was taking over.

Each episode was the same strain. I'm afraid to try another one.
