Is out of home streaming a scam?

Advertisements

First off , I did not start this thread . Secondly , all of the premium channels I subscribe to I cannot play through the TiVo app .You can blame the cable operators for this all you want but Tivo has been promoting the " watch your Tv anywhere " very heavily but it my case I really can't . As the
premium channels are what I wanna see, TiVo
Ooh streaming is pretty much worthless to me .

The ooh streaming I can do , is horrific video and quality . Laughably bad .

So let me just say instead if using the word "scam " ,let me rephrase what I mean .


TiVo ooh streaming is complete , utter rubbish and the alternatives like Slingbox are far superior .

I was so disappointed with TiVo ooh that I bought 2 Slingboxes after fiddling with it . I would have bought a Roamio basic if I had known it was going be this bad.

 

Everything is amazing and nobody is happy

Here's my Slingbox & my attempt at Tivo Ooh this morning on a strong wifi Fios network at my daughters house .

Typical for me .

 

That's amazing!!

If rotary dialing wasn't bad enough, I grew up in a rural area and found it great when our phone line was upgraded and we didn't have to worry about being on a party line (Google party line for those younger crowds who don't know what that is....).



Yes, now in 2014 I was po' ed because the virtual keyboard on my Android tablet didn't have a stock keyboard with arrow buttons and and to "buy" a third party app to add that function... . "this is crap man"!

Then on top of that I get mad mad when I type on a PC keyboard because it doesn't auto correct like my tablet does as I type......

Yeah we all know now about this limitation too .

If course I I record this premium channel I still won't be able to stream it either

 

I see the problem here. That news is all fake and the TiVo app is smart enough to refuse to play it.

 

Ha . Maybe .

 

It would also then have a similar behavior for MSNBC, no?

 

Isn't Chris Matthews on there?LOL

 

Horrible picture - ooh streaming

 

Why don't you just use hbo go etc for the premium content ooh? Why bother with tivo or slingbox for that?

 

I do but not all premium channels like Starz are any good .

 

Tivo ooh streaming is still garbage .


Lots of " error connecting to your device " messages .Terrible picture .

This Tivo feature stinks .

 

we get it... your Stream experience bites and you got a Slingbox, it's not going to magically get better.

But I'm keeping my vow that every time you play this song I will come in, speak up, and let folks know that I'm perfectly happy with my stream experience and that it streams everything I record in a manner that I find perfectly acceptable.

 

Yeah ok . Next time your away from your house post some screen pictures like I have . Let's see
your Tivo quality experience . Don't post a in house streaming picture . We all know that quality is fine .

 

It won't

 

Sorry, but I have no interest in dancing for you. Plenty of other users have said that Stream does what they want.

 

Let's see the picture quality of your stream away from home ,

I'm interested in seeing how your picture quality
differs from mine .
