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!
