Kstat - I chose ISO over converted content. No need to convert anything, no need to optimize. The LG upscales 1080p very nicely, I need to put a 4K card in the media PC so my 4k iso will play back smoother than the Firestick can handle. Very expensive, worth it.

Going back to Direct TV to watch Football and Hockey - from U-verse who owns them now so what a nightmare costumer service AT&T is. Almost 3 hours on one phone call....They cant seem to figure out I need two houses, one old and one new account? Is that so hard? Sending me texts and e-mails changing the dates.


'2 weeks' to get an installer out . I had my friend wait all day Thursday and they didnt show, then send me an e mail they changed the date at 5PM

I finally got rid of DTV, not because of the expense, I got rid of it because of the new Death Star (AT&T) ownership and non existent customer service.

I've spent much of my adult life trying to escape their grip from back to the landline days. Them effing up my personal email and sucking up DTV were the last straws.

Wingsfan,

I watch the NFL and NHL (all sports if I wanted) for FREE.

Ask me how.

Last I read, you need to be an existing Prime Member for the code to work.

I am not Wingsfan but, I would like to know. How?

I have direct tv now (again) and its really is great for sports. Along with At&t wifi business landline and fax machine. By the way Gonz, this change wasn't my decision (though im happy about it).

Sorry to hear that the Death Star sucked another defenseless entity into its pull.

[Panoptes]

Death to the Death Star (AT&T)... This sneaky AT&T fee will make you absolutely furious

[Fraquar]

Death by a thousand paper cuts (fees).
The price you see is most definitely not the price you pay.

No issues for a week now with this duckduckgo.com (only because they don't track you) browser links to
ustvgo.tv and sports24.club

Not working for beans today. Stuttery buffering crap.

There is nothing like the NFL Sunday Ticket Gonz - I dont really watch (or want too) much of the Lions and they can be my only choice many Sundays here.

I'm sorry if I didn't make it abundantly clear, ALL NFL GAMES, the NFLN and the NFL RZ can and are being watched gratis.

Sure beats all those years I paid stoopid dollars to DTV for the NFLST.

To each his own.
