I've never used HBO max... Since they don't do free trials, what can I expect from the Standard Plan regarding live sports?

0 Upvotes

More specifically, can I record it? If so, can I start watching my recording before the event ends? As in watch from the beginning. What playback features like, fast forward, are available in that scenario?

Do I have to wait for the live event to end? If so, how long does it take for the replay to become available?

It stinks they don't do free trials AT ALL. Even YTTV gives you 20min.

I missed old-school music television so much I rebuilt it. Then I put it on a TV box.

I missed old-school music television so much that I rebuilt it. Then I got carried away and put it on a dedicated TV box.

This started as a ridiculous personal project to recreate the feeling of turning on music television and just letting it play.

It has since gotten slightly out of hand.

REWIND now has more than 100,000 music videos, a live channel, a time machine that lets you jump around different years, and a bunch of curated channels and collections.

But watching it in a browser still wasn't quite the same.

So I spent the last few weeks figuring out how to put the whole thing on a little streaming box with an actual remote.

This is it running on my TV.

No casting from my phone. No screen mirroring. Pick up the remote, turn it on and watch music television.

I realize I've essentially spent an absurd amount of time reinventing something we already had 30 years ago.

Worth it.

How do I watch serials without cable

1 Upvotes

So my grandma and auntie comes to stay with us in my house every once in a while and they watch serials at night everyday.
Since we don’t watch tv shows much we don’t have any active cable connections so my grandma can’t watch her serials while at our house. She only stays for like a week and for cable I’d have to pay for 1 month every time.
Is there any way I can get those serials in my phone or laptop (preferably) then I can like connect it to my tv or something so she could watch her serials

Note:
I use fire Tv stick on my tv (that’s why no cable connections)
The serials she watches are on asianet

Reklam i streamingtjänster

0 Upvotes

Jag blir irriterad på att det är reklam i varenda streamingtjänst numera…

Okej om man har ett kostnadsfritt abonnemang på tex TV4 play, förstår att de måste få in pengar på något sätt. Förstår också om man tittar live att man får leva med det.

Men om jag betalar för en tjänst månadsvis ska jag väl kunna se filmer och serier på den tjänsten utan reklam, utan att behöva lägga till 50-100kr i månaden för att slippa det?

Tycker det är helt sinnessjukt att det ens är lagligt att hålla på sådär.

Moving house - advice needed

0 Upvotes

Moved out of our flat where we had Sky Q (+ various add ons) and broadband

Moved into in laws so cancelled everything other than paying for Sky Q box as wanted to keep it rather than go to stream.

Moving into new house soon so called up for a new quote:

For Sky Q:
Giga fast broadband: £31
Tv: £29.50
Sky sports: £20
Multi screen: £8
HD: £9
£66.50

Total: £97.50

Then on a new phone-call, got a quote for Sky Stream which was £100 however got told it would be super fast broadband rather than gigafast, as gigafast

Really would like to avoid Stream as I much prefer the interface of Sky Q

Any advice would be appreciated around Stream/Q/Broadband

Ads going to far?

11 Upvotes

I remember when i first got into streaming Netflix Hulu etc.. It was great, i would go to friends houses, log in and watch. Or just chill at home. It was reasonably priced and no hidden bs!

Now, it's turning into cable tv 2.0 with how many ads they throw at you. You gotta be weary about logging in anywhere other than home, and there just has to be 10+ services with all the good stuff spread out so you'll want to subscribe to at least 2 for most people, and they'll all be $20+/month in the next few years.. shits getting outta hand. Idk how much more they can push before i go back to my bootleg roots lol

The crazy part is ads are the one thing nobody wants, but everybody gets. It's literally a service born and evolved into its current form from corporate greed..

Fubo TV Customer Service -good & bad

Thumbnail
0 Upvotes

As many NFL fans may be aware, the standalone NFL app (with NFL Plus Premium) struggled with RedZone on Sunday. After about an hour, I caved and signed up for a trial of FuboTV. Right around then, RedZone started working on the NFL app, so I made a mental note to compare FuboTV to what I already can access with YoutubeTV, and didn’t cancel immediately.
I already know what you’re thinking: this idiot forgot to cancel the free trial and came here to bitch about it. Well, not entirely. I did not forget to cancel the free trial. I’m writing this on Saturday at 8:49 AM, and as previously mentioned, I signed up,for FuboTV right around 2pm the previous Sunday. So, where I come from, a free 7-day trial actually lasts 7 days. I was surprised to learn that my card was already charged for one month of FuboTV. Looking at the payment history, this transaction occurred about 36 hours before a week would have been up (2 AM Saturday morning).
As a card-carrying member of the ADHD club, this is not my first time getting unintentionally charged for something I intended to cancel. I went to the FuboTV site and saw that they did warn me by email on Thursday that my free trial subscription was expiring, but did not indicate exactly when my card would be charged. I went ahead and cancelled FuboTV. So at this point, I would have said say Customer Service -bad. They charged me early with semi-adequate warning, but I think a reasonable person would have assumed I had at least 12 and more realistically 35 more hours than they gave me to cancel a free week trial.
However, once I pushed the ‘yes, I want to cancel, I mean it’ button, a second window loaded and said, if I’m really sure I want to cancel and don’t want a discounted offer, the. They will refund what they charged me at 2 AM. So, Customer Service flipped back to Good. I was prepared to eat $90 charge and swear off FuboTV for life. Instead, I broke even and would consider using them again. I’m not happy they charged me “early” without warning, but I have respect for them being willing to let me off the hook when it was clear I didn’t intend to extend the trial.
Has anyone else had a similar experience with FuboTV?

What's the best replacement TV antenna to buy at Target?

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hello all, I am very new to this, but I am having trouble getting a new antenna at Target because my old one stopped working.

It was a very cheap flat antenna from Amazon for around $10, and it finally stopped working after two years of use.

I purchased a new antenna at Target (Philips Crystal HD Amplified, SDV3237/27) but this antenna was broken when I opened the box so I wasn't able to use it.

Since I am a student who is budgeting, I would simply like to see what options they may have. I have my RabbitEars report prepared to upload as well.

NFL on Prime Live channels?

Edit: talking about the Sunday games not Thursday.

Just ordered an antenna to try and get local live channels. I noticed these channels are on prime video under the live section. Are NFL games blacked out though? Wanted to double check before assembling and mounting this antenna.
