Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 5008825, member: 12414"] It switches to cable now so you keep the picture but for some reason you cannot record when it switches from the dish to the internet/cable during storms. I have had Direct TV since it came out in the 90’s. Mostly for the sports. I remember the day it was installed and I was able to get all the UConn games. Other than the birth of my children that may have been the happiest day of my life. This was the early mid 90’s no internet and when I initially left CT in July after the dream season one of the biggest factors I had to get past to take the job is how I was going to follow UConn. At that time the best solution was my best friend recording all the games on vhf tapes sending them to me with copies of all CT newspapers. Wow life was much different back then. It got worse once AT&T bought it especially with the installers. They are Subcontractors but they were also subs back when DirecTV was a stand alone. For some reason they were better then. When I bought a house in 2012 in FL the DirectTV installers way out performed the Comcast installers. I think DirecTV held them more accountable. Entertainment expenses are a so expensive but I have kept cable and Direct TV but just the basic packages. I work from home and my wife runs a small administrative business as her side hustle and two kids who play video games on line so absolutely need the highest speed internet so that is $200.00 month same with DirectTV basic package maybe $180 for DirecTV but we have 8 tv’s in our house and what really gets you is all the wireless boxes that you have to connect to the TV at the TV. That’s another $8-10 per tv. So we only have DirectTV and cable on two of our large TV’s. I will say after the experience with the prime games the years before last, I was suspect about how YTTV would handle the games but all in all was pleasantly surprised and the interface and how you could watch multiple games with more options than DirectTV had. Biggest issue is exiting the app to watch the games that are blacked out because they are on local tv. That becomes a pain because every time you go between the two you have to log back into YTTV so it is not convenient. With DirectTV I also have the local channels so all it that entailed was changing the channel. And because of bad mojo I cannot record the game on the same feed I am watching. So I watch the games on DirecTV and record them on Comcast. [/QUOTE]
