How is it working?

Is it all LIVE content or is there any On Demand that is part of the $5 offer?

THANKS!

Exactly, I don't watch channels, I watch shows and movies.

Very cool!!

I still have my old "Footsteps On The Moon: The Epic Flight Of Apollo 11, July 16 To July 24, 1969" LP that I listened to when I was a kid. I played that album over and over...

Re: Everything to Look Forward to in watchOS 5

garylapointe — Thu, 07 Jun 2018 12:28:43 -0000

I read it because I was looking for a "Release Date", there is no specific date ("mid-to-late September watchOS 5 release is a good guess" is pretty vague).

With "WatchOS 5 and when we might see it" as a title and I'd expect vagueness. But when you lead with "Release Date" and you don't have anything specific, it feels more like clickbait...

When the title says I'm going to find out a release date and you don't have a release date, that's pretty lame. It's even the first item that you list that I need to know ("Everything You Need to Know about watchOS 5: Release Date, Compatibility, Top Features & More").

A "huge advantage over moviepass"? How many subscribers do you think that Juneau, AK is good for?

One of my favorite comics out right now. You can't just read one issue though, you have to stick with it to get a feel for it. It's a story about a young woman with powers, it's not always about about fighting villans. I think Marvel has some plans for her...

Right now, with comics I'm all about the new kid heroes, Riri / IronHeart and Miles / Spider-Man, I'm even liking bratty Lunella / Moon Girl. The new Nova isn't doing it for me. I was loving the younger time-displaced X-men (transported here from the past, but not since the they ended that run and started back over with #1.

I've been reading comics for 40+ years.

Re: watchOS 4.3.1 suggests future support for third party watch faces

garylapointe — Sun, 15 Apr 2018 12:11:53 -0000

No, I mean the Siri watch face, which changes based on what she thinks you need/want to see. (for example Shows appointments and alarms, IF you have them, but doesn't waste the space if you don't have any).

https://9to5mac.com/2017/09... It does not require the Siri icon that is on all these examples.

I just want a clutter of complications on my screen. Or maybe the Siri screen and I can prioritize some complications...

I'd like it smarter, when I look at the watch, I don't need the time on there for more than a second, it could disappear and show me some complications (power and rings?).

$39.99 for 100Mbps/10Mbps for WOW in Detroit area. It's my third year with them and I'm very happy with them.

I committed for 2 years to get that price ($10 more with no commitment).

I love DND, but I'd like to see an addition of something like:

"Siri, turn on DND for 3 hours"
or
"Siri, turn on DND until I leave this location"

That would be great for class, meetings, movies, church, etc.

Re: App Shopper: Infuse Pro 5 (Photography)

Did they pull Infuse 4 the same time that Infuse 5 came out?
Or did they do updates for a while?

Do you know how long Infuse 4 was out originally before 5 came out?

Re: Sling TV Announces New OTA Bundle Deals

garylapointe — Wed, 13 Sep 2017 16:05:15 -0000

I'm reading it as you get all the extras for $70. I really like the way the one box integrates Sling with the OTA channels. (Still have to prepay)

(I believe they previously they had the same offer for $50.)

Re: Sling TV Announces New OTA Bundle Deals

garylapointe — Wed, 13 Sep 2017 12:49:02 -0000

It says "and a Winegard indoor antenna for $70".

Unless they just fixed it in the 3 minutes since you made your post...?

Re: CinemaNow Suddenly Shuts Down Leaving Users Unable to Access Their Movies

garylapointe — Thu, 07 Sep 2017 23:39:56 -0000

My mistake: All my Target Ticket movies transferred to UV (and they were all promos), I didn't realize they were doing non-UV content.

I don't buy non-UV movies for that reason. I'm hoping UV survives.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a legal issue about these services going under. When DIVX DVD went under, someone somewhere decided to give everyone $100 refunds (I believe the difference in the cost of the player that supported the DIVX rentals).

It seems like these services would need to do more to make sure your digital library stays alive. From a bankruptcy standpoint or something.

I feel like this story is reporting something that happened a month ago and somehow doesn't mention that Flixster Video also shut down (10 days ago), it seems pretty relevant.

And not much mentioned about accessing your "lost" content on http://MyUV.com

Re: CinemaNow Suddenly Shuts Down Leaving Users Unable to Access Their Movies

garylapointe — Thu, 07 Sep 2017 18:52:21 -0000

Didn't *Cinema Now* shut down a while ago?

While *Flixster Video* just shut down 1-2 weeks ago??

Re: CinemaNow Suddenly Shuts Down Leaving Users Unable to Access Their Movies

It didn't "transfer to" Cinema Now, CN just linked to your UV account. Vudu and FandangoNow can also link and access the same content that Target Ticket put in your UV account.

>But it just shows that even buying a VHS tape is more secure than buying into this digital nonsense, no matter how hard the industry pushes it.

I disagree, this is showing that multiple services can serve as a backup for you.

While your VHS player is wearing out and your tape is degrading, your content IS STILL ALIVE at http://MyUV.com

Re: CinemaNow Suddenly Shuts Down Leaving Users Unable to Access Their Movies

garylapointe — Thu, 07 Sep 2017 18:47:53 -0000

Go to Vudu and link your account to your UV content, if you do NOT see it make sure you don't have 2 UV accounts, I had two (one with a user name one with an e-mail and I think they both had the same e-mail).

I'd go to http://MyUV.com and log out and back in to make sure you have the right ID and password.

That's pretty awesome! Letting the non-customers use it too I'm sure is a great help.

It's limited in that most of these spots are probably in people's homes (and have limited range) and if you're in such a home, they'll probably let you on the WiFi...

This means you're not going to get any texts if they're sent to you either, right? (Unless you have WiFi calling enabled and manage to connect to wifi)

At some point those texts will expire (with some carriers) and you'll never see them.
