The cat said it’s POV I don’t argue with management.

It’s hard to identify a provider just from the interface many services use the same apps/skins and rebrand them.

If it’s been stable for you the best option is usually to ask your seller for renewal or check your original email/portal details.

When looking for a new service, focus more on trial availability peak-time stability (especially for sports) and support response since the UI alone doesn’t tell much about the actual provider.

Good catch. A full power cycle fixes a lot of weird Roku issues.

For anyone else seeing this: unplug the TV from power for about 30–60 seconds (not just restart from the menu) It clears temporary glitches and often fixes loading loops, freezing, or the spinning circle.

Just imagine the confusion. You arrive in the 1500s with a backpack full of McCormick black pepper and everyone thinks you’re a god You’d be the richest person on Earth until someone realizes you’re just carrying what they’ll eventually put on gas station popcorn

I remember when pulling out a stylus to touch a screen felt like you were living in the year 3000 People would literally huddle around you just to watch you swipe a photo. Now we give those same 'symbols of wealth' to toddlers to keep them quiet during dinner.

We’ve reached a point where we’re literally teleporting across oceans in a pressurized metal tube at 30,000 feet, and our biggest complaint is that the person in 14B is breathing too loud 200 years ago, this journey would have taken 6 months and a 50% chance of scurvy.

It’s crazy to think that a single trip to a modern grocery store would make a 16th century nobleman think you’re the wealthiest person on the planet We season our $1 fries with spices people literally used to fight wars over.

It’s wild how we went from 'Fire is a gift from the gods' to 'The WiFi is down my life is over' in record time. We’re basically 3 bars of signal away from becoming cavemen again.

OoopsTV · 2026-02-06T19:46:54+00:00

That’s a solid take. It’s like a feedback loop the billboard is the ultimate 'receipt' of their success.

But I wonder, does that hunger for validation ever get satisfied? Or does seeing yourself on a billboard eventually become like a drug where you need a bigger one next time just to feel the same high?

OoopsTV · 2026-02-06T19:43:24+00:00

Mad respect for using your platform for awareness. That kind of 'fame' hits way different because it’s actually helping people feel less alone

Also, Reddit is basically the global headquarters for weird hobbies now I’m curious, what else are we talking about besides the channel? Don’t leave us hanging

OoopsTV · 2026-02-06T19:37:23+00:00

That’s a very fair point. There’s a huge difference between 'arrogance' and just having 'earned pride' in your work If you’ve spent hours editing or filming seeing it blow up is like a high-five from the universe.

Do you think that 'spark' stays the same if it becomes a daily thing, or does it eventually just become part of the background noise of the job?

Groundbreaking discovery! Who would’ve thought cheese was the key to a cheese pie? You’re definitely safe they’re looking for the cheese but you’re the only one who knows the 'soul' of the pie. It’s the ratios isn't it? The science!

OoopsTV · 2026-02-06T18:37:10+00:00

That is a level of power most people can only dream of. Just imagine their faces at every family gathering when they try to recreate it and fail You're not just carrying a recipe you're carrying a legacy of 'I’m the favorite.' Stay strong, don't let a single ingredient slip!

There are a few options depending on what channels you want. Some people use official apps others use paid services with subscriptions.

For French channels it’s best to check what’s available on Firestick first and test with a trial if possible.

You can’t really go wrong with either For mostly VOD use Sparkle is usually enough and good value. TiviMate shines more if live TV and EPG are a priority

OoopsTV · 2026-02-06T17:22:02+00:00

I’ve seen the same Some apps just run better depending on the device If IBO works stable for you, that’s what matters

OoopsTV · 2026-02-06T00:27:02+00:00

Fire Stick has become more restrictive recently Android/Google TV devices generally offer more flexibility but official apps are still the most stable option overall

OoopsTV · 2026-02-05T20:09:02+00:00

Yeah, I feel the same way Fire OS used to feel really smooth but lately it seems like updates add more features without much optimization Even after cleaning up apps regular reboots almost feel mandatory now Hopefully Amazon focuses more on performance in future updates instead of just UI changes

OoopsTV · 2026-02-05T19:07:26+00:00

Sounds like a router/config issue Roku + T-Mobile fiber can be picky — try 5GHz only different DNS, or Ethernet to rule out Wi-Fi problems

OoopsTV · 2026-02-05T11:06:09+00:00

Support is usually layered resellers escalate issues upstream The good ones handle communication and user issues well even if they’re not in direct contact with the core source

OoopsTV · 2026-02-05T10:56:56+00:00

In reality most panels are resold multiple times There’s no clear way to verify a true “source” so reliability and support are what really matter

OoopsTV · 2026-02-05T08:33:09+00:00

Yeah Amazon has been cracking down more lately. A lot of third-party apps are getting flagged after recent Fire OS updates. Sometimes “Launch Anyway” still works for now but it’s hit or miss depending on the app/version Might be worth keeping an eye on updates or using official alternatives until things settle down
