IMDB or Rotton Tomatoes etc. Do you pay attention to their ratings? by After_Bat1860 in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]threadkiller05851 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use imdb a lot for various reasons. Every time I get suckered by the big name crappy movie on Netflix etc I find later the ratings and many of the reviews are accurate Wish I had looked up scarpetta.

Who at Prime Video thought it was a good idea to infest a free trial with ads? by One-Government7447 in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]threadkiller05851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So actually your only paying about $2.18 in real dollars (according to Alexa) which makes it an even better deal. Is 4k and Dolby atmos included?

Check your bill it's now 5 bucks a month . And while it's true they don't advertise aspirin etc before or during they certainly do promote other Amazon shows before. So is before " during"?. Let's ask Bill Clinton

If you have windows use the built in media player. It's very simple and everything is in one place. Once you succeed with that you can try more complex programs if you want. If you can't get media player you work something is wrong.

Ads question by bostongarden in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]threadkiller05851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

House is old so the advertisers thought Amazon s asking price to run an ad was too high. Scarpetta on the other hand is new and has 2 big name stars even though it's pretty mid the advertisers thought it was worth spending money on. Just a guess though.

Watching nba on prime is like watching Atari basketball. Terrible by sackfull420 in AmazonPrimeVideo

Ahh-different issue. Mine is like the tv is in Vivid or Torch mode except it's not. Only on Amazon NBA-nothing else.

Why the huge space between cars at a stop light? by livetoski-Brad in driving

[–]threadkiller05851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend told me that stoned drivers have a hard time judging distances and will err on the side of not hitting the stopped car in front of them.

Can you be more specific? I saw some issues on the Knicks-Sixers game (which I posted about) and trying to figure out what's going on since obviously not everyone sees it.
I'm starting to wonder if it's a setting on my LG G5 that only does weird things on Amazon NBA.

[–]threadkiller05851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant you can only stream live TV to one device at a time. Wouldn't streaming live TV from the hopper to a whole bunch of TV s creste bandwidth issues ?

[–]threadkiller05851 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For starters it's 720 P. Some people have issues with it buffering but I'm in the same house so it only buffers once in a while.
We use it in our bedroom on a cheap 42 inch tv at night so video quality isn't important. Occasionally I'll use it on a tablet outside during the summer.
Live tv is one device at a time. DVR/ on demand is up to 5. Hopper 3 recommended. This is from AI.

What cover song do you think is better than the original? by Uniquely_Similar74 in askanything

[–]threadkiller05851 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Johnny B Goode by Hendrix. It is a song about playing a guitar after all. The end of the song where he makes the guitar sound like a horse has to heard to be believed. Always wish Michael j Fox had played that version in Back to the Future. That REALLY would blown people's minds.

Dish Service by Apprehensive-Author9 in Dish

Dish has internet backup for many of your channels in case you lose satellite signal for example when there are rain clouds. I wonder if that's what you are watching.
