Watched on Netflix (or other streaming channels)

Just started watching the Sopranos. So far it's been okay... not riveting. I'm now using a Fire TV stick. It sort of combines all of the streaming services into one screen... plus you can add apps from all of the normal channels like Science Channel, History, HBO... whatever and use their On Demand feature. It a nutshell it damn near let's you watch anything that you can think of whenever you wish. Oh yeah... and it's voice activated. It only has 5 buttons on the remote. Pretty cool, but there is a learning curve. 

Most of what I watch is free but not really. For example, I watch a lot of Prime Video but it's free because I am a Prime member at Amazon. If I want to watch streaming History on demand, I have to have History as part of my Direct TV package. The same would be true if you use Dish or whatever. I have been able to watch some HBO stuff for free... 

I'm still learnng how to use the damn thing.

Cool. So you have the fire stick and direct TV? My TV i bought came with ROKU. There is a ton of stuff to watch and just like the old days. Totally fee but you have to watch commercials.
Everything I watch is recorded and now I can't stand anything else.

BTW We are having problems with our direct TV. Shows that are on our recording list just disappear.You have to reboot the box and they come back but they get lost again the same day.
We called. They sent some jerk out with ZERO people skills. He actually said they were sick of sending people out
Well if their shit actually worked we wouldn't call anyone. Plus we 138 freaking bucks a month!!!!!

I took my big dogs and went to the neighbors while he was at my house with the wife. I swear to god I would have got up in his grill.

I'm having the same problem with DTV and my recorded shows. It started after their last big update. My wife cancelled most of our DTV package when we got the Fire TV. We are like one step up from basic. When I scroll through the entire DTV guide.. all I see is a bunch of shit that I don't want to watch. Not to mention a TON of PAID PROGRAMMING. What horseshit. They promise a gazillion channels and 1/2 a gazillion are 24/7 ads. Fuck DTV.... and FUCK Costco too.

Yeah I feel the same and ditched DRTV and quickly went to Charter a while back. Then I came crying back to DRTV like a 5 year old runaway back to their mom
In other words Charter was so bad it made DRTV look good.



and FUCK Costco too.
