So, Apple TV. I got a free year with my iPhone I just purchased. Loaded the app on my Firestick and logged in. 3 days later it won’t let me on the app saying I need to use an Apple device WTF!
Anyone else have this experience or any advice?

Making the move to YouTube TV. They’re the only ones with all the local channels. Dumping Spectrum but have to keep their internet. Also have Prime, Netflix, and my daughters Hulu account, plus the free year of Apple....

should be covered......

What's the consensus for those getting shafted by the PSVUE shutdown? My main watches are the four networks, AMC, the FX channels TCM, the espn and fox sports channels and BTN. Need a good mobile device app and DVR (vue's one glaring weakness).

Switched from Vue to YouTube a couple of days ago and I already prefer YouTube. Probably the best feature is seeing a preview of other channels while using the guide...so you can see if other channels are also at a commercial break while flipping around. Has all the channels I would ever care about...basically ESPN, BTN, Fox Sorts Ohio, FS1, etc. Has a few extra channels like the Fx movie channel and some others. Has all the channels you mentioned. Have used the mobile app on my iPad and it works great. So far I am very happy.

Been to three places in the last week who solely stream and all three have random buffering issues and outages.

I am adding a Netgear Mesh extender that I hope will help strengthen signals and minimize the buffering. So far YouTube TV has been better than the Spectrum app I had on one TV.

The other thing about YouTube TV is it works on both the Roku and Firestick, plus you can use the app on Samsung and Vizio TVs. I don’t have an LG but I believe they were on the list also.

So advanced that I barely use it. I tell youtube that I like B1G or SEC football and I never have to record another game all year. You might be able to do that with all of college football. I never have to set end or start times, because youtube records the exact length.

The space is unlimited, but things roll off in 9 months. But frankly, most stuff kept that long is clutter anyway, and the few games that I might rewatch can be found on regular youtube by then.
