Can’t read comments

For OTA recording, I use HDHomerun with Plex and love it.

iptv still working

Yes; cable companies want no part of a la carte TV. They don't like people interfering with their legalized highway robbery. They have advanced to the point of strangling the golden goose. They will go down kicking and screaming on this issue. Forget 'em.

Can you tell me why there are time changes on programming from cable to like Hulu? Some shows we watched on cable at 7 pm are on at 10 pm on hulu.

Will the new programmable Roku remote work with the older ultra?

Why are the commercials so LOUD. Is it to make you buy commercial free?

I think the cable companies will win, but I'm pulling for Maine.

I want Roku to make a Roku tablet how about you guys?

Psvue is just too expensive and the stupid name. Just call it Sony Vue or Vue so it can be available on Xbox one. Microsoft will never let a PlayStation branded app on Xbox until it’s names changed.

Sony has original shows if you have a PS plus account.

Android TV exists. I'm not sure why you treat it so lowly on your website. All Rokus don't hold a candle to the Shield TV.

Why don't you ever talk about the elephant in the room? Internet The cost is more than having cable + internet. What and how to watch is the mouse, what you stream is a flowing river and ever-changing. The elephant is the one that can Crush you! Please talk more about this. Thank you.

People in the tech industry are so dumb. Facebook amazon google are all data mining and stealing your privacy. To make billions.
Paying to fill your homes with microphones and cameras. Happily help them surveil you. They are aways listening and watching into your home.
Dumb or what paying to bug your own home

The programmable buttons on the Roku remotes is something that I've been waiting for and seemed like such an obvious option for them. I've been sticking to my Fire devices thus far, but I definitely think it's time for me to try a Roku, especially with the faster processing power. Also, I think that AT&T is screwed. DirecTV Now was never anything that they seemed to seriously try to get working properly. Now with all their messy options going against higher quality services like Hulu, YouTube, Vue, etc, I think that they need to either get their act together or they are just a sinking ship.

I've been using Vue for a few months now and I think it's awesome! It's really the only service that offers all the channels we want and is, imo, the best one available for sports fans. I know that it's not the cheapest available, but I think that it's worth the price to get a service that works so well and gives us everything we want.

So telling people who purchase IPTV they could be in trouble is a joke. Something you can buy with a credit card means credit cards are in bed with these companies. So are Bank of America and Chase getting sued or getting arrested?

The reason the cable companies are freaking out is that their sports programming is subsidized through ALL cable customer fees. Sports is the main reason your cable cost increases every year. If customers can go a la carte, many of them, myself included will drop the sports channels first.

Luke … Mindhunters (2004) the movie, was also awesome!

I agree with Cord Cutter News and also Sum Dood.
Sports and sports Humans will and are bringing out the knives , they do not give a flying Fu about any one else.
There are in fact humans one this planet that will sell you and every one else out for a few coins.
The whole world is going nuts.

Here is Truth.
2/3 , Two Thirds of people are Not Interested in Sports.
1/3 , One Third of people are interested in sports.

The 1/3 One Third want the 2/3 Two Thirds to keep paying their way and will sue to get it.

The 1/3 One Third , the Sports Crazies , have enjoyed this rip off relation ship for a long time.

So keep bending over 2/3 Two Thirds and smile.
