I am a bastard child SBC / Ma and Pa Bell.
Is the weather channel local on the 8's bar national or local weather? Meaning if you're in DC is the weather DC (local) or other cities from different states (national)
I wish there was a way to make the guide menu disappear once I'm in my desired guide view. This annoys me, but I'm otherwise very impressed with DirecTV and Gemini Air.
We have YTTV. When watching Football and skip back 10 seconds with Roku TV it takes tóo may button presses. One to stop, one to skip back and one to play. All while waiting for the delay for signal to catch up. Is DTV easier or quicker ???. My old cable TV I could hit one button it would skip back 10 seconds and begin playing without any delay in picture stream. May go back to Cable just because of that.
Just left YTTV for DirectTVP went with the sports pack plus add on for Red Zone… Get news, locals, and sports, all I want and more. Like interface and live guide much better compared with YTTV. Love I save money and get only the channels I want and no other BS I never watch!! My guess is YTTV will wake up and soon upgrade their guide and begin offering mini packs like DirectTV.
I will never go back to Direct Tv every time I turn around my cable bill kept going up
One third thru and I found it confusing.
Why do they always insist on giving

Which is better direct tv stream or uverse?
Just be careful there are two streaming services. One is internet one is not
