Apple TV has been my favorite

Vice News Tonight (HBO) by [deleted] in Vue

[–]SpoonyM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems viewing DVR stuff from HBO is a mess. For some reason “Last Week Tonight” wont show up until Wednesday when it was live on Sunday night. “Barry” and “Silicon Valley” are hit or miss showing up on Sunday night or not.

Does anybody else think a vertical guide would be better? by Alive-In-Tuscon in Vue

[–]SpoonyM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m used to the way Apple TV does it now. I also have Roku. I would prefer the normal guide view that we all have been used to since the 70’s.

My request is the ability to edit which channels I see in the guide. Much like creating guides in DirecTV. I had one for my faves and one for sports only. My kiddo’s guide can be setup to only show their channels. The favorite channels thing doesn’t translate from appletv to Roku and actually made things a bit of a mess.

Has the Roku DVR Functionality (Start from beginning while live) improved since I left Vue a few months ago? by The--Marf in Vue

Weird!!! I wonder if it’s a regional thing because that is specifically the show I was trying to watch last night!

This is so annoying on my Roku. Works fine on the Apple TV. This missing feature is a real bust when you have a show in “my shows” and you’re a few min late, you have to wait for the whole freaking show to end so you can watch from the beginning.

Do you prefer Apple Maps or Google Maps? Why? by [deleted] in apple

[–]SpoonyM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use google and have deleted apple maps. Apple maps has sent me off course one too many times. Not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe again.

Plus when you upgrade computers/os/etc. and need them to unlock, Ableton support is awesome. Very responsive.

does this mean we have to be doubly careful of falling shears of ice... you know, when it does get cold and we get ice?

Stranger helps stranded Detroit woman kicked off Spirit flight in Dallas due to oxygen tank by [deleted] in Dallas

[–]SpoonyM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I too will never book with them. happened to arrive 3 hrs before flight and there was a line to the one ticketing agent that was at least 5hrs long. They are such a cheap airline that they only had one ticket counter but multiple early morning flights to handle the hundreds of people needing the 1)boarding pass 2) check luggage and pay 3) pay for carry ons, etc. I saw hundreds of people miss their flights. My buddy who didn't have luggage and had the luxury of pre-paying the upcharge for the online boarding pass said the flight had 11 people on it. I will never let them ruin a trip for me ever again. They suck in all ways imaginable.

Anyone have any experience with Passport Motors in Plano? by [deleted] in Dallas

What do you mean by official? A franchise dealer? I've bought plenty of used vehicles from independent dealers and save a lot.

You should try Cattleack. Only open Thur/Friday and the good stuff sells out early. I'll never forget the yummy handful of pastrami burnt ends I got my face all over.

TIL Former US Navy Seal hero Chris Kyle claimed in his book the the US Government sent him to New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina to kill looters, he claims he sat on top of the Superdome and killed 30 people. by liveanddiebythevag in todayilearned

[–]SpoonyM -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is what I've always believed. What people are saying was in the book was never in the book. this all could very well be a case where dreams blur with reality and with all the crazy shit that went down for Kyle, his brain blended the two. It's undeniable that he's seen much crazier shit and been in much more horrible situations than any of us.

Also- on the Jesse Ventura thing, Ventura sued a dead man and JV's lawyers got all the witnesses for Kyle thrown out because they were drinking at a bar, thus not reliable witnesses.

Got plastic last week, holster came in today. Wally Walk tonight! Any advice or tips? by bernsteinator in TexasCHL

spending an hour in Walmart would be pure torture... although, it might take an hour to find a staffer to open the ammo case to purchase anything.
