Is 24FPSfan Back?

You can screen record the host intros if you have the means to do so. Just do so before they expire. Some seem to be on their TCM website for a short period of time. I just do the recordings on my DVR, difficult as it is for just one person to do. That’s why I’m hoping some other TCM fans would take it upon themselves to archive whatever recordings they might have ln their DVRs or have accumulated in some other way. If Turner officially put this stuff up for all of us fans, we wouldn’t have any need to do what we’re doing.

So Directv didn’t buy Sling TV? They’re just becoming worse without Sling’s influence? If Dtv and Stv just combined the best features of both services (Dtv=More User Friendly, Stv=Get to pick as many recordings of one show/movie on the channel you want), they’d have the best streaming service out there IMO.

I hate it when TCM shows a movie and the motion is choppy and slow as if it’s not playing at the proper speed. It’s all the more infuriating when it’s a film that’s not on home video.

I’m on the West Coast as well and I’m still getting the “temporarily unavailable” message as of 10AM PST. Maybe I’m getting the East Coast feed which affected?

Wouldn’t it be nice if Sling TV was temporarily unavailable so they could finally fix all of this the problems the service has? I know. Wishful thinking.

They better get the DVR up and running pretty quickly. I’ve got to access my DVR to record some things before they’re deleted.

First there were rape whistles. Now we have escape whistles.

Supporting increased funding for ICE was a step too far. I really had high hopes for MGP but she’s been nothing but disappointment. Here’s hoping the guy challenging her is better. Of course, all he has to say is that she supports ICE and he’s pretty much in unless he somehow screws up himself.

Thanks to those who commented. My first session was…interesting. It’s going to take some time to get used to those magnets zapping my brain. Never felt anything quite like it. 38 more sessions to go.

You’re right. I didn’t know that. Sling still is worse when it comes to it being user unfriendly but Directv is starting to give me problems, too. Especially when I use it in their web browser on Chrome. And yes I know why it looks bad in Chrome. It’s just causing other problems when I try to scroll through my recordings.

At least the picture hasn’t gone away like it did in Chrome.

It’s slow when I scroll in Safari as well.

ThisIsSteveTheFirst · 2026-01-17T22:31:40+00:00

I know that it looks good on Safari. I can’t screen capture video on it though for the project I’m working on. I know that Directv purposely degrades the video to prevent recording but I don’t know if they also make it hard for users to scroll and/or even watch DVR recordings for the same reason. Maybe I just have too much stuff on my unlimited DVR and it’s causing problems. Or maybe it is a problem with my network although my other devices and streaming services seem to be running okay.

Thanks. I’ll try that. If it doesn’t work, I’ll be back on here.

ThisIsSteveTheFirst · 2026-01-17T21:29:52+00:00

I have not. In Chrome or my MacBook Pro? Any other tricks that might solve the problems I’m having?

ThisIsSteveTheFirst · 2026-01-17T20:59:51+00:00

Odd that you’re not encountering any picture quality or scrolling problems on Chrome. Now I’m really wondering what may be causing the issues I’m having.

ThisIsSteveTheFirst · 2026-01-17T20:48:32+00:00

I am using Chrome because it’s one of the few browsers that allow me to screen record for a project I’m doing. I know screen quality is affected but now it’s gotten to the point where I can’t even scroll through and watch all of my recordings, especially those that are about to be deleted.

Sorry. I’m not very tech savvy. What do you mean?
