HBO is another $15 per month. There are also free movies for your basic monthy subscription,as well as pay movies. My Direct TV account was 70 bucks per month,but is creeping back up to a little over 100 bucks a month again,so I am looking for options. I subscribed and hook up to it using my ROKU player,but you can also do both on your PC,or even on your smart phone. Click for Full Text! Poster Comment: Just subscribed a couple hours ago,and have mixed feelings about it. A lot of the programs I would watch on it can also be watched on my Netflix and my Amazon Prime account for free,but not all. RIght now I have am/have been watching the History Channel on it,and the History Channel is also available on Netflix. Haven't checked to see if the programming is identical yet,though. Frankly,AMC and TNT are big draws for me and why I am looking into it. So far MY opinion is that it works as advertised,but there are a couple of negatives. The 2 big negatives is I don't see any way to record programs there yet,and the programming is hard to figure out. Frankly,I am spoiled by my Dish Network and Direct TV DVR's and their ability to check upcoming shows and record them instantly as well as VOD shows. Trying to find and view a program in episode order is at best "clunky" for me. I may just decide at the end of the 7 days that it's worth another 80 bucks a month to have the convenience of recording and an excellent search engine from Dish or Direct. My time may not be worth much dollar wise,but it is worth something to me and I would rather spend it watching shows than trying to find them and remember when they come on. What say yee?

To: sneakypete (#0) Seems to me like you're wandering back into sat subscription. You may as well just do it. I don't see that the TNT/AMC combo with CNN and a few others is an especially good value. AFAIK, you can get the ultra-cheapo package on Directv or Dish for only a little more with higher reliability. I saw something today at Ars Technica, an article on the best of the WiFi range extenders. Ars is a huge techie site if you aren't aware of it. ArsTechnica: From the Wirecutter: The best consumer-grade Wi-Fi extender The winner is this Netgear, currently showing at $120 but you can look around and find it for $100. Amazon: NETGEAR AC1200 High Power 700mW Dual Band Wi-Fi Range Extender - Desktop with 5 Ports (EX6200) It's dual-band, supports wireless printers, has a built-in DLNA media server if you plug in a USB hard drive with a bunch of movies (compatible with all your TV boxes like Roku and with computers and smartphones and tablets). My thinking is you could try one of these Netgear range extenders. Put in in front of a window that faces your outlying metal shed. This Netgear has different modes for 2.4GHz and/or 5GHz so you can set it only to rebroadcast 2.4 or 5 or a combo. So you might choose 2.4GHz for the house but use the 5GHz band to transmit to your shop. (Naturally, you have to have 5GHz-capable networking for this, check your Roku 'cause it might be 2.4Ghz-only). Anyway, if you could use one of these to boost your shop WiFi to work, it would still probably be cheaper than hiring someone to dig a trench for you to bury some cable. And if it didn't work, pack it up and send it back to Amazon for a refund. And it should work at that price and over that range because that is a very pricey WiFi booster. A pricey Wifi booster had better deliver what it promises or it should be returned to the retailer. Amazon's top reviews provide some experience with using it to cover a entire backyard well enough for 1080p streaming without buffering.

While it shows a lot of promise and may be the future,it ain't there yet. From what I have seen so far,it's not worth 2 dollars a month and I will cancel before my free 7 day trial is out. Primarily because I can get the same content from Netflix cheaper,and the service is MUCH better. No,I can't record the streaming video from Netflix either,but I don't have to because it is there for me to view anytime I want. On Sling I have to pick a viewing time and remember to go there while it's playing. Plus there is no memory. If I stop a play to answer the telephone,I have to go back to the start of the program again. Plus I have already had instances twice of the streaming video dying,and had to start viewing at the start of the show once I got it to start loading again. Maybe I am wrong on some of this and just don't understand the Sling format yet,but I have another 5 days to try. I definitely need to check out other avenues for betting AMC,TLC,Sundance,etc before I make the final decision,but it's not looking good for Sling so far. I am sure it will be a much better service a year from now than it is now because streaming video IS the future of tv and movie viewing,and the Big Sat company that owns Sling no doubt sees the end of their almost monopoly coming up soon. They have the bucks to invest to make it better,and and they have a reason to do just that. Big Sat is dead,and just waiting around to be buried. ArsTechnica: From the Wirecutter: The best consumer-grade Wi-Fi extender The winner is this Netgear, currently showing at $120 but you can look around and find it for $100. Thanks,but I already have 200 feet of ethernet cable,all the ends and crimper bought and paid for as well as the plastic tubing and connection boxes,and I can get the trench dug for less than 100 bucks to bury it and not have to worry about ever buying anything else. Plus,I like the idea of a dedicated connection that I KNOW will work and can bury and forget that can't be pulled off the air by anyone passing by. My thinking is you could try one of these Netgear range extenders. Put in in front of a window that faces your outlying metal shed. I have no windows facing my "metal shed",which is actually a 35x50 metal building with a 18 foot ceiling and 14x14 insulated commercial garage doors at each end. I do appreciate being show an option,though. I would almost certainly have given that a shot if I hadn't already bought everything necessary for a buried dedicated connection.

Also you can record Netflix. I read about it somewhere a while back Here is the best choice. Everything. No cost. www.thepiratebay.se www.thepiratebay.cr A K A Stone  posted on  2015-07-05   12:17:39 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #9. To: A K A Stone (#6) (Edited) Also you can record Netflix. I read about it somewhere a while back I never doubted there was some way to do that. I was only certain that I didn't know how to do it. IMHO,for a commercial service to be successful,stuff like being able to record their shows should be so simple to do that anyone who casually streams video should just be able to click on a button and do it. If they make it hard to do or so complicated that only a techie can figure it out,they are going to fail. Here is the best choice. Everything. No cost. www.thepiratebay.se www.thepiratebay.cr Thanks. You have used both of those services and have never had a Trojan worm it's way into your system? The app you have to download doesn't have any hidden secrets? BTW,what is the difference between those two sites? They look identical to me. sneakypete  posted on  2015-07-05   12:23:16 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #13. To: sneakypete, A K A Stone (#9) Thanks. You have used both of those services and have never had a Trojan worm it's way into your system? Video and audio streams don't lend themselves to malware and viruses. The one main exception would be those special Sony CDs that caused such a public outcry. They would download an extra codec from Sony for Windows Media Player and it would take a lot of bandwidth and CPU power to monitor whether you were playing a genuine Sony CD or a pirated version. It also spied on what you were listening to, sending the results constantly to Sony. Sony pulled it from the market quickly and now pretends it never happened. By their nature, video/audio streams are just data. They aren't loaded into memory in buffers you can easily overrun to activate a malware payload. To infect a machine via streams, you'd need instead to attack the video player software. For an outfit like NSA, they could identify and intercept traffic to/from the video player and attack it, most likely as part of a player software update. There's very little upside to trying to infect machines via streaming. If they're already inside your network, they can attack software on the major OSes much better than to try to attack via streaming.

Thanks. That has always been a concern of mine when offered the chance to view movies or tv shows from sources not known to be reliable and safe. To infect a machine via streams, you'd need instead to attack the video player software. What about the apps you have to download for sites like Pirate? Any danger of that having malware in it? sneakypete  posted on  2015-07-05   12:41:47 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #23.
