Is anyone else seeing their channels freeze after amazon prime ads?
the ad runs then the screen goes black until I restart the stream

RichC2

Nope. What device are you using?

I get a freeze (rotating loading circle) on my Roku Streaming Stick+ often when it goes to that YouTube TV screen saver thing during ads. Basically the local ads that aren't being fed in by service. It usually gives me an HDCP 2.2 error too when it does it.

Chromecast Ultra
casted from an IPhone XR

Interesting. Definitely bug Google until they respond. I haven't run into any such issues but that'd drive me nuts.

Gotta work today and tv at work isn't working. Solution? Get YouTube tv to watch the game on my phone and cancel tomorrow before the 5-day free trial ends.

But you know what? I've kinda been enjoying it. I also installed it on my tv. I might decide to keep it.

Deftones

Outside of a few gripes like no 5.1 DD sound, it truly is an awesome product. I am glad I ditched DTV for it.

RichC2

Yeah, I'll keep it for at least a few more price hikes. I have no real issues with it, my favorite of the streaming cable services.

I just switched last week after Sling hiked their subscription cost. Have been enjoying it. Unlimited DVR is awesome!

I'm digging watching YoutubeTV on my Fire Stick 4k. You can push the Alexa button and tell it to FF/Rew any amount of seconds/minutes that you want.

Deftones

I wish Roku had that feature.

John Richmond

You can pick up a Fire Stick 4k for $25.

The Fire Stick also controls the volume on my AVR whereas the Roku does not.

Note: I thought I bought a Roku Stick+ but apparently I have the 3800R. Maybe the Stick+ controls the AVR volume...I don't know.

Starting in March, you won't be able to sign up for YouTube TV via the Apple store. Apple apparently takes a 30% cut of the sales.

To make it funnier you already can't sign up for it via the app, come March they're cancelling any accounts that were signed up that way.

YouTube TV to carry HBO Max, HBO and Cinemax

Deftones

Sweet. But shit. Bought a bunch of cheap HBO cards at BB at Christmas. Gonna have to burn those off before I go through YouTube TV.

Bacon

How can I fully manage my account on mobile( ios)?
I can cancel the account but I can’t add any add ons or pause the account
I go to manage account and it sends me to the set up tv page

RichC2

Unfortunately you cannot due to.. reasons:

Shit this sucks. Losing Dbacks and Suns is gonna suck ass

DJariya

Not surprised. Sling also dropped the FOX Sports RSNs months ago.

Apparently they are just too expensive and would likely just drive up the prices. That's why DirecTV charges the BS RSN fee.

I hope for your sake and others that they do come to a deal.

Deftones

At least I have backup login from my in laws, now that I think about it. Still sucks ass

DJariya

In reality, the prices that Sling, YTTV were simply not sustainable if you also want to cater to sports fans.

Deftones

Hope here is everyone ditches them, and Sinclair has to come back to the table to renegotiate

RichC2

Sinclair is the worst, so maybe as an add-on.

DJariya

RSNs cannot be locked as an add-on for local markets. They lose money. It only works that way if you want to watch out of market content. But even then you need to subscribe to the NBA, NHL or MLB packages.

It's one or the other, you either take them or you don't.

YTTV also doesn't carry The Marquee Network, which is the new Cubs home. They can't lock that network in a higher tier and try to force people in Chicago to cough up say $5 per month extra to watch it. You lose money and people will drop the channel when Cubs season is over. The sports networks want their channels to be accessible year-round for those local markets.
