I might have just won. Just got my final two units I have more than I could possibly want. 10 - 60233 Ospreys!

These last two were a bit scary as they booted to an AT&T logo! They updated just fine and no auto login either!

I have a second ENC5-V2 coming and wanted to use those two extra ports. My ENC1-V3 units are going to be used with an old PC I have and CH4C which works very well with DTV, I would say CH4C works better with DTV than a regular android tv box in terms of tuning time. I'll post pics of the entire rig once the ENC5 arrives from China!

Okay, I thought my stack of five was overkill. I had only three for the longest time until the multi view came along. But I must ask. Does your family really love TV that much? :slight_smile:

I know my 4 tuners are all busy some nights, and I'm just me.

It's become a hobby. I've been contributing code to ah4c lately so I'm having some fun. I also may use the capacity to help my mom out since she is mostly homebound. Multiview is something I'm using for the first time tonight. 8PM on a weeknight I could easily have 3-4 tuners going so when she finally agrees to try Channels the capacity will make sense! Regardless I'm just having fun building out an overkill setup and contributing some code back when I can!

FYI prices are going up ~$8 or so for each package. Switch to YTTV and then they'll go up too, it's just how it is these days.

at least it's not per device like the old days :satellite:

At least I'm locked in with YTTV for a while. Their sports only pack is good enough for me...and I don't have to pay for Peacock

After that deal is done, I may consider a Sling Blue + Disney bundle hybrid (unless they jack up their prices too or Sling gets ESPN Unlimited) or NOW TV Latino + Disney Bundle + Max

You know, I had a co-worker on Sling and he could not stand the picture and audio quality. So just keep that in mind when you're looking into that.

He ended up going with a genre pack from DirecTV just for the better PQ.

I used Sling before, the PQ is fine. Not too sure what that coworker's connection and device setup is like but Sling works fine with my AppleTV, Firetv and my ONN devices and the PQ is fine.

Yeah, I never really used it. I just know he's big into home theater and told me that it looked terrible. And DirecTV doesn't with the same line, so it's just his experience, but everyone's perception is different so.

As long as it works for you, that's what matters! :slightly_smiling_face:

I think this is relevant to share in the other thread as it's more LinkPi related. But it's all of my Ospreys lined up!

in my experience directv always has the best picture. others might match it, and blueray used to beat it, but it's the one thing you can always count on with them. :satellite: :satellite: :satellite:

I didn't mind sling when i had them, but both airtv's sucked. much prefer hdhr + channels + dtv

I would agree. DTV, especially with Osprey, gives me a nice picture. YTTV is not far behind though, especially if you can enable the enhanced bit rate option.

I came from YouTube TV. I was with them for five years or so, and while it's close, DirecTV is noticeably better.

Good news, everyone!
