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

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!

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.
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.
I saw that.
Has anyone had their boxes just refuse to tune at all whatsoever?
I had this happen today where they just wouldn't tune, and I went in and went to the profile picker and, like, signed out of my profile and back in, and they started tuning again, like all of them. Super weird. And at the same time, the website stream.directv.com stopped working. I logged out of that, logged back in, it started working again. Again, super weird.
I'm just curious if anyone has come across this before and if it's just some weird one-off glitch or if there's some sort of issue with my account
not seen that, but the last few days my internet will drop for everything including my router saying no internet, but the ospreys keep their signal. lol 
(even the catTV running youtube)
interesting. on the web (I use dtv web site a lot to watch TV while working) and over the past few weeks I would be "logged in" but nothing would play as you described. if I log out and back in, it works, for a little while, but I keep having to login for it to actually work. I suspected a drm/expiration issue because the channel won't play, but i'm logged in and can do everything but play a channel.
They seem to have made a change that broke tuning for me with ah4c. What's been happening is the boxes have been freezing when trying to tune and just getting completely stuck. But what fixed it for me was adding a sleep 2 in the prebmitune.sh.
main() {
adbConnect
adbWake
sleep 2
}
I’m not seeing any issue with my Osprey’s on ah4c using deep links.
Where do you look for when an Osprey receives an update? Maybe I didn’t get that update.
Seems like this is rolling out to people. I just happened to notice yesterday I couldn't tune. The rollout is server side so it may be staggered.
