When we were on Lifestyle at the Brownwood villas this March they had xfinity by Comcast on TV that not only had few channels but very low definition etc we did not really have the proper remote either but it was the worst TV we have ever had. Also the screen had the wrong aspect ratio. It was certainly set up to show how bad it can be. Roku and Netflix were not accessible. My hubby was beyond frustrated. When I was in Hawaii I usually watched what we recorded on our PVR at home up North. I hope that we can do better than that in TV. Any ideas are welcome. We are at Mallory just south of Sumter Landing.

and we have 2 Roku TV’s, 2 laptops, Simplisafe doorbell, 2 Smart phones and a couple of IPads connected. Plus a Nexia wifi controlled thermostat. And many operating at same time. A good up to date router is very important! |

Does anyone know if one YouTube account will work in two locations? We have a house in NH and one on TV, both with DirecTv for services. When we leave one for a few months, we still have to pay a vacation rate to temporarily suspend services until we return. We were told we could not have just one account and swap service back and forth. (We are, however, able do this with Serius Radio in our cars because we leave one in TV).
We have Rokus in both houses for live streaming, but record most of the television programs we watch because we hate having to endure those endless commercials. This would require a lot of recording with whatever service we go with, which I believe, after reading about several, would be YouTube TV. Anyone with the same issue?

We actually like YouTube tv better than directv now but only recently switched as there was a special of $20 off per month for three months and we want to watch the final season of Game of Thrones. HBO is included in the base directv now package. I expect at some point, probably after the 3 months, we’ll switch back to YouTube tv.

Well, I finally had enough of my cable service. With an internet speed of 20 Mbps and basic cable for ~$180/month, I was tired of being fleeced. So, Century Link is now my ISP at 80 Mbps for $45/month. I am also a subscriber of Netflix and Amazon Prime for a couple of years and that won't change for the near future. It only made since to go with Amazon Fire Sticks since I was a subscriber already. So I purchased 4 Fire Sticks. Two for 4K TVs and 2 for TVs that have lower resolutions. Along with that I subscribed to Hulu Live at $44.95 not counting taxes and fees. I couldn't be happier. All of those coaxial cables are gone and so is the company that abused me for so long. OH, one last tidbit. I still work from home as a DBA and must connect to my servers over VPN. It works great. The cable companies equipment that is used for bundling TV, Phone and Internet has crippled firmware, making a VPN connection impossible. The bottom line is: I have more to watch (or cruise when I am bored) plus internet that is 4 times faster and essentially 1/2 the price. It felt really good kicking cable to the curb.
