Multiview, a picture-in-picture type feature, is nice but could be considerably better. So far I’m pleased with UVerse although it has its annoyances. Maybe in another year after Sling TV matures or other competitors offer better options I’ll try going without traditional cable TV again.

I’m trading the time consumed with having to deal with calling every year to get my expired discount lowered again, or possibly switching services back and forth from AT&T UVerse back to Comcast, for the daily time consumed with waiting for network delays, buffers, app switching, etc. When I saw that AT&T UVerse was available for a year intro price for $89 (plus $10 for HD) I decided to jump on it. We aren’t there yet and it’ll be a long time before we are.

(That’s one definite benefit of Spotify killing apps altogether.) The future of TV will be one interface to intuitively bring it all together letting you pay for various channels/products/brands/features individually. It’s as dumb as Spotify allowing apps for various bands to discover their music.

On top of that you have to deal with the hassle of having to access them all from different apps or devices and not having full DVR control.Īlso, does anyone really think the ‘app’ interface is the future of TV? It’s not as cumbersome as the above but it’s still more of a hassle than what we’ve had for years with everything accessible in one interface. The $5 add-on packs are the same.īy the time you possibly add on other paid services, Hulu+ ($8), Amazon Prime ($99 a year / $8.25 a month… which still is a pretty good deal considering what you get), HBO Go ($15 a month), Netflix ($8), you could easily end up paying more than just sticking with cable TV, as long as you have one of the discounted packages. Plus you can’t hide them from the GUI if you don’t want to see them as an option. I would likely never watch any of those yet they are mandatory in the base package for $20. You’re forced to pay for a Spanish channel, and networks like the Cartoon Network and the Disney Channel. First of all, it’s not the perfect pay for only what you watch system you may think. Sling TV is nice but it’s far from perfect. You’d have to switch from whichever app you used to pull in your OTA stream to a new Roku app, Sling TV. Switching from NBC/CBS/ABC to CNN was 10 times worse timewise.

Switching from OTA NBC to CBS took at least 5-10 seconds for the new stream to load and was noticeably a lesser than ideal quality compared to 1080p HD. However it was noticeably more time intensive and more of a hassle to jump from show to show or channel to channel. It wasn’t a bad experience and it mostly worked.

I tried Sling TV, the Roku 3, and modified the Roku to use Plex, Nowhere TV, Nowhere DVR, an unused Elgato EyeTV Hybrid I had in a drawer for free over-the-air local network TV using a Mac Mini for the DVR, Channel Pear, and Roku Media Player amongst the popular apps.
