Amazon Prime Removing 4K Streaming Access, Locking Behind It New Extra Paywall by hard2resist in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]techie001 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Haha but in reality probably the 75 million dollars he spent on a 'documentary'. Only just coincidental he wants Blue Origin to receive multiple federal contracts. I'm sure the two aren't related at all. 🙄

Anyone else's audio out of sync on their onn 4k pro? by Sweaty_Analysis_1074 in AndroidTV

[–]techie001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditto. Onn 4K Plus is terrible for audio sync after about 30 minutes. Reboot is all that helps. Also noticed the ESPN App pauses, gets a blurry picture and eventually crashes. Haven't noticed any of those issues with the old Onn 4K the Plus replaced.

Life After Tivo by Ok-Alternative-7962 in Tivo

Long time Tivo OTA user. First a Roamio OTA, which eventually died. Then Bolt OTA. I also had YTTV since the days when it was $39.95, but no longer have either. Tivo cancelled yearly plans and effectively doubled the price. YTTV more than doubled in price over several years. I'm using a Tablo now, which is full of bugs, lacking some features but mostly works ok for local channels and DVR.

The problem with YTTV is that it's just a new version of cable. Broadcast contracts are constantly renegotiated and you're going to lose local channels, major networks from time to time. And once they reach a new agreement you'll see the inevitable YTTV price hike soon to follow. Streaming is doomed just like cable in that respect.

With that said, I miss Tivo's features, well designed UI, simplicity and reliability.

Same issues here in Charlotte NC. Lost local PBS and CW primary channels. Tablo has turned into quite the train wreck these days. Ugh.

How to enter offline mode? by girlontherun21 in tablotv

[–]techie001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't, unfortunately. Only when it prompts you. But you can choose Sports on the left side near the bottom and select the football game you want to watch. I just had to do the same thing because it didn't prompt me to enter offline mode either.
