    What’s your complaint with T-Mobile. I use them and think they’re fine

     

    It’s their business. Just because Sprint bought them, and kept their name, doesn’t make a shit. Still the same shit company.

    It’s a long story, too much to tap out on the phone right now. But the short of it is I caught them red handed fucking people over, and they couldn’t have cared less.

  2. Is the expected voltage printed on the case somewhere, or do you know what it should be?

    Even with internal overhead (bare minimum), unless it is purposefully designed to output only 8v, it sounds like may be defective. Assuming all batteries are up to snuff, which seems to be the case.

    $20 credit emails have gone out, make sure to go claim yours if you have YTTV

    Clicked the button for mine as well.

    What would be interesting to know, although we most likely will never know, is how many clicked the credit vice how many of those were actually paid out.

    Or why you sometime here about musicians complaining that a politician is using their song in ad. 

     

    I swear I read somewhere about if the clip was under 10 seconds, it was fair use. I may have misread that, but your comment made me think of it.

    I get $20 next month... but only if I actually renew AND jump through their hoops to fucking get the credit applied. 

     

    This is where I’m at. I want to see the hoops first. If it’s click here and poof, cool. If there’s anything attached to it, I’ll pass. Renewal is scheduled for the 26th.

    Yeah no cable, fiber, or streaming service I've ever used in 45 years has come close to YTTV, & I've used pretty much everything that's been available to me. 

     

    For UI overall, I liked my Tivo better. Especially the DVR side of it.

    However, take multiview, profiles, and custom guide order over to Tivo and that would be a really good setup.

    If TV Everywhere were better supported today, Tivo could find a new market with adding those features. TVE does have fairly broad support, but the quality isn’t what it should be yet. And of course it’s local stations draggimg their feet as well.

    (TV Everywhere being referred to in this context is for the ability to use whatever UI you want, login through your tv provider, and get the channels in your package.)

    This is one of the best features of YTTV. You set it and forget it. Select what you want recorded. Texas Football. Texas Volleyball, Baseball. F1. Whatever. It will record all of that on any channel you have, at any time, and it'll record the whole thing, even when it goes long. 

     

    Definitely agree here. Only thing I’ve seen attempt to come close to that was tivo, but not near as easy or good. You had a setting for live events, and selected how much time to automatically add to the end of any live event. So not even close, and most dvr’s let you do that per recording, or per season now anyway.

    It really is one of the more thoughtful everyday type of things that is very under-appreciated in development, users don’t really think about, but yields a lot of satisfaction.

  7. IF they do work, I can’t see them working for very long. Certainly not to the length you would expect the paint to last. 

    If that were the case then wouldn’t there be something better on its own that didn’t need to be applied every 12 months or fewer?

    I use some kind of deal that hooks to your hose. I spray the house with it 3-4 times a year. Seems to do alright. The big kicker is a lot of insecticides seem to have a really short effectiveness on spiders.

    Hopefully a chemical guy pops up with some good details.
