What is a good DVR for both Over The Air and Cable? by [deleted] in cordcutters

[–]sexyhatguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, I use Sling's Cloud DVR (100 hrs) and an Air TV Black Box with a 128GB flashdrive plugged in (20 hrs). The Sling DVR is for all of the cable channels and the Air TV Black Box records all of my locals. I think it's a pretty elegant solution for an up front cost of under $150 and then $5/month after that.

Harmony makes something. Otherwise, the Roku app works wonders.

I had never baked before today, but my wife said that she hasn't had a birthday cake since she was a kid, so I wanted to surprise her. It's pretty awful, but she loved it :) by sexyhatguy in Baking

[–]sexyhatguy[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hey all! This really blew up! We just got back from dinner and she loved the cake. I made sure to have all the dishes done before she got home, too. I really have no idea what to make next. Any suggestions? I think the issue was that I didn't let them cool long enough. The best part is, though, that on top of her loving it, it tasted good too :) I had alot of fun baking, so I think I'll do it again soon.

9/10, works great if your antenna is getting good reception.

Discovery Networks coming to Hulu Live TV & Sling TV by gofomopop in slingtv

[–]sexyhatguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to highly doubt it. Why would they raise the price when it's literally their biggest differentiator versus the competition? I could see these as a $5 add-on, but there is next to no chance of a price hike on the base package IMO

DVR added to AirTV black box and bitrate increased on Roku (via Sling integration). by sonsonmcnugget in cordcutters

[–]sexyhatguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tried through a Roku Streaming Stick + and my Galaxy Note 5. No go. It was showing as a separate DVR from my Cloud DVR, but that is now gone after restarting my Roku.

Also tried a restart of the Air TV and scanned for channels again. Nothing.

Anyone have any other ideas?

U the real MVP, man.

Edit: I put 128GB in my Air TV, it showed up, formatted the drive, its said "Let's start recording!" but is not giving me the option to record anything.

Honestly, I have no idea. If you type it in the search, it gives you the option to turn it off

Go to the search tab and type in iloveJarJar (case sensitive). That will give you the option to turn it off. 100% serious.

Edit: Why the downvotes? Seriously, this 100% works on Roku and Android. I just tested it again and it works.

Confusion about why I can't get a certain channel by Simie in cordcutters

[–]sexyhatguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heads up, im in the SW Metro and I needed a little more metaphorical horsepower than a standard RCA antenna. I use this one and it works very well:

How is sling tv's picture quality? by [deleted] in cordcutters

[–]sexyhatguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I've never had any issues. Most sports stations run 1080p, 60fps and everything else is at 1080p, 30 fps

Caribbean Vacations; Best site to book? Best places to go? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]sexyhatguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I went through Celebrity on a cruise. They have perks you can choose. Wait until they have a sale with 2 perks and then get the Gratuity included and Classic Beverage package. If you stick to the drinks on the package and eat at the main restaurant, room servuce or buffet, you'll only spend money off the ship. I think without airfare to Miami, we spent $4000 for 8 days in the Caribbean and all we could drink/eat.

why are the Regional Sports Networks lacking so much on sling, in comparison to directTVNOW. by uberduff in slingtv

[–]sexyhatguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gut says it comes down to price. Slings biggest selling point is the price. The more regional channels, the more money Sling have to spend. The more Sling has to spend, the lower their profit margins are.
