The fault is definitely the app only on AppleTV. Also, my AppleTV is fully up to date. The app is totally disfunctional on AppleTV. I hope the developer looks into this and gets another update going to correct this. All the issues I am encountering seem to be concerning live TV viewing only. Only gripe, and this could obviously just be a current technological problem, rather than an issue specific to Spectrum but when streaming live tv, the lag can be about 30 seconds to one minute late.
I come back to the room, and i have two choices: watch it live on tv which is one minute ahead so i miss a full minute OR continue watching the app until a commercial when I can resume watching on tv without missing any plays. It does get a bit laggy here and there and when you first turn on the tv and Apple TV you have to back out of the app to get to started.
It comes and goes when it wants, sometimes staying visible for weeks at a time. It covers the lower third display used by news etc to give more info on things your watching which is annoying. To fix it you have to delete the app from the Apple TV and re-install. Then in days when it happens again you either ignore it for as long as you can bear or delete and re-install the app again Please fix this I beg of you!!
Slower speeds and pixelation here and there I can deal with but a floating prompt covering the whole lower third of the tv is mind numbingly frustrating. The following data may be used to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies:.

Size This month of March after not been on my property since January I got all of my mail, mostly junk mail as all of my payments ar done on line or with auto pay.
I got the paper statement from Spectrum which is just a confirmation of the services paid by auto pay. I hate Spectrum!
I called because they raised my rates in November. I was given a big song and dance double-talk about packages. I told her that I most certainly did and she argued with me about it.
I told her I wanted the same thing — no changes. I came home today and wanted to watch a recording in another room and no way to get to it.
Bet the billing will start at the first call of today — wanna bet? Spectrum sucks. Plus, the signal breaks up all the time or the screen freezes. Why they have all the extra moves one has to make on the remote to get to a recorded show makes TWC look good. How irritatingly is it when u are doing some important stuff and the thing freezes. As am watching a movie right now and the internet freezes literally every 30 secs.
Time to change the freaking service from spectrum. Their goes another customer who pays a lot in every bill. You know the worst part is people knocking our door trying to convince to but more stuff to add. U can tell am pissed. Like what happened???? However, I have been a TWC customer for 5 years. Any time I was late on a bill, I was always able to make a payment arrangement to avoid service interruption.
It is absolutely ridiculous that there is not a single human being in your entire organization that can help me with a payment arrangement, a credit, a pushback on my service cut off date, ANYTHING to help a customer who was with the company you recently purchased for 5 years.
Comcast sucks. TWC sucks. I hope you go bankrupt, you idiots. Hope things are better for you now. Spectrum hit N. I can say I feel your pain. We have been waiting since Saturday to have our service transferred and to this day we still have no service and just a lot of lies and lip service.
We will be switching providers and I would recommend that other due the same. There is no customer service to speak of. They are crazy if they think we are paying that much. I have had spectrum since January 27, and absolutely hate it! Hate it!!!
I spent over a half an hour last night trying to get my bedroom TV to come on. And I have this problem all the time!!! And when your power go off for like one second it takes like minutes for it to come back on.
It is a frustrating and a complete and utter pain in the neck. I absolutely hate it! It is the worst cable that I have ever had in my entire life! And the DVR…is absolutely horrible! You can only record two shows at a time and you have to be watching one of them?!
Remember the remote is as dumb as user. The remote does not know if a box is on or off. It just issues a power command. Use the individual power buttons to sync tv or bad power, then one button will work again. Spectrum stinks. Horrible service! TV has been out for days! Totally down hill since they bought out Brighthouse Networks!
Save your money! I would give 0 stars if that was an option. No Mr. Any company but yours actually honors the price you signed up with from day 1 until the end of that contract period.
Oh and I have only had them for 3 months! There is no mention of these random price hikes anywhere on their website and of course none of the agents tell you this when you call to sign up. I am quite disgusted by the BS. Oh and yea make sure you check your bills and never auto-pay because this company has not once gotten my bill right. They seem to always want to charge me more and then I sit on the phone with their customer service reps for hours every month. Sorry excuse of a company.
Never again! Holy cow how can a company screw up everything so fast? Ours went to Spectrum a few months ago and we have had more outages than in the past two years, the prices have soared with no notice or explanation and the workers who keep having to come out HATE the new rules, which make it much more difficult for them to do their job. I thought it was just local but it seems to be the same everywhere!!
Every single day the internet and cable tv drop on the hour or so and after a few min comes back. So here I am a bill increasing by the month outrageous prices for any service comparable to my current one. Spectrum lacks honesty or customer care. We the consumer deserve the proper protection against such companies that perge the consumer.
This company believes because no contracts means no rules are regulated. Now I am going to educate myself in such matters. Worst reception and equipment with terrible care towards the consumer. This company does not give fare trade of business for the almighty dollar.
Salina was my service rep and she was the most hateful soul that made me want to cancel then and there and I did and of course she would not transfer to manager or supervisor so I could lodge a complaint against her inadequate service and hateful demeanor. Today I was called at pm telling me that my cable wire was down acrossed my road and the fire department was at my house. I was just a few doors up, so I was home in a minute. The 1st responders told me that Spectrum had been called and was on their way.
The 1st responders had got the cable wire above the road and tied to a tree. The cable wire was still across my driveway. After I seen everything was ok, and I could do nothing at the moment, I left at pm. I returned home at pm and no Spectrum truck had been here. I called Spectrum and was told a work order was in and when I technichan could be found they would come. After calling back and talking to the technical supervisor and got the same thing.
There was only 45 minutes in the work day and I have contractors showing up tomorrow with their work trailer. Remember the cable is down in drivewary and workers will be here in morning.
I had a call back from another supervisor, stating what I had already heard. Whenever a tech was available they would be here. Their rates have went up, and service went down. I have lost power for over 3 hours, twice in a month.
Then on a regular basis, late at night, the power will go out or off and on several times. If I am working on my computer it will mess me up while working. In the first year, after I signed with Spectrum, prices were good. I am currently looking into finding another company.
They want a extra almost 60 dollars. For the same exact same plan I have currently. Then they wonder why people are leaving cable companies. We had a family emergency and mailed out a check late. I actually made 4 phone calls to CS to let them know and they said there was nothing ghey could do, our service would be cut off and indeed, they cut off our service phone, cable TV and internet this company could not get any worse foe providing decent customer service to paying people.
We have tolerated horrible customer service because if lack of competition. We are now cancelling our service. Do not use Spectrum! This never happened and when I called them the second time 2 days is the best you can do? She has no service and cannot call out or receive calls.
This is not acceptable. What if there is an emergency? Spectrum is horrible they keep changing, replacing or taking away channels. Replacement with some kind of home made movies for example bounce to something called TBD and also got rid of grit. They will continue to lose customers. Spectrum cable is a disaster. I cut off of my cable and phone after I received a bill with 20 extra added. My triple bundle went from dollars to dollars. I called a representative and they basically told me that my promotional price had ended and that was the new price.
They also said that I was still receiving a 40 dollar discount, which would mean that without the discount it be about dollars. And they charge a variety pass fee if you want other basic channels, which should be included in the basic channels package.
My internet service was suppose to be mbps and it was never close to be lightening fast. My netflix was always buffering. I was basically being charged lump sums of money for a service that is completely poor. Spectrum has stated that they want to give out quality service to customer, but they are not. From what I heard they are losing customers and they will continue to lose them, based on their new terrible tactics.
On June 26, , I call the number and set up an appointment for the hours of 8 to 10 to have my box and modem checked.
They never showed. When I called the local number they stated there was no record of any call or appointment being made. So, now I have to suffer and wait for another appointment tomorrow, when it should be today. As soon as I find a review page I will put on it that Spectrum customer service is not what they claim on TV. Because right now the pixels on my TV are messed up and the volume goes in and out and the internet is having thinking problems. Well it made one heck of a mistake today.
So, now instead of one day of waiting on an incompetent company, I now have to wait two days. Very bad company and customer service. But they hold a monopoly in this area, so I have to stick with this horrible company.
Their answer to every technical question is to reset your cable modem and hope the problem goes away. Sometimes that works. Most of the time, I just give up and hope the problem goes away on its own.
Sometimes that works, too. Some day we will move and I look forward to finally cancelling Charter service. I worry that the alternatives are just as bad. Like the previous posters said: Charter system is in the dark ages. The boxes and system simply are trash, it is hopeless. Please, another cable company enter my market. I am so so so sick of being called by their sales reps wanting me to add cable to my internet and phone service.
I have told them I do not and will never want to add cable service. I have asked that they stop calling me to no avail. I am trying to work people. This is NOT customer service. I encourage anyone to find the recorded transcripts of my conversations with 3 of your employees, passing me off to the next department.
Is this what Spectrum customer service looks like? One of the biggest reasons we switched is the last company we were with would raise prices without contacting the customer. Spectrum is no different. I now know customer service is the thing of the past. This is what happens when our politicians allow monopolies. I rate Spectrum as liars and on a scale of 1 to 10 — 10 being best — Rated a My husband took back our two boxes, remotes, cables and modem.
I was charged for not returning 2 modems! Keep in mind first, I had ONE modem and second, the equip was returned! I applied for service. They processed our payment and gave us an installation date.
Today was that day. I was up at waiting. At my wife call the tech says no one answered. What house did he go to. I have 3 German Shepard. Honor your obligations. New name same horrible service. Then nobody can honor the price you were quoted. Appointment set for Directv on Thursday. I am extremely disappointed with spectrum.
Paying for all the channels and then finding that perhaps, if I am lucky, I can get to see them 3 or 4 times a week.
What am I paying for. I am tired of seeing the message — this channel is temporarily unavailable. You are generous with your 2. I currently have dish, which I like but was looking for something a bit cheaper. Just wanted to add I joined Time Warner Cable and was ok with them. Merging with Charter to create Spectrum was not what I wanted. Twc customers put on a legacy service. They will hopefully not be removed as we get everything we had before. Still if I was dumped to a Spectrum package then just keeping internet and moving to Directv Now because I want the same channels I have.
There was confusion about Spectrum and services they offer and changes following merger. But I got to keep my packages. But this year it only went up less than thirty bucks from to Had it gone up further I would have switched. By next year may test Directv Now or look at UVerse if it is around. It is more about cost than customer service. I thought getting on a bundle would lower rates.
So far the cost is so-so. The taxes and fees are what kill me. Service has been great though. With Time Warner Cable we had outages a lot. With Spectrum the big issue was confusion about merger. My original bundle with phone was to be However they put me on the Internet plan. It was done to all customers. The merger came two years later. I maybe staying with tv depending on what is worked out. The competitor UVerse I had three years but the price jumped. There may not even be a UVerse service.
It all comes down to what the cost will be next year or if I can live with a modifications. Would love to be on a service where I can afford a dvr. Cable gets away with raises for what they provide. I have a choice of 1 provider in my area. You have to reboot it everyday for it to move past one episode and the reboot takes about minutes. This is a daily problem. I agree, a two is too generous for this company.
I have internet service with Spectrum cable. I no longer need the landline and canceled it today. Tell me how that makes sense? I will be shopping around and changing services. Apparently they do not care either. There has been nothing but problems and added fees. Makes sense right. I just purchased my first house and this has been a big mistake. I will be sure to recommend any other cable company but spectrum to my friends and family.
Absolute bullshit. I pay every month for services I can barely use. I am not at all impressed with Spectrum. I just cancelled the cable and phone service after only having it since April I switched from DirecTV and have just had it switched back to DTV because their service and the satellite has always worked the best. The best part of the service was the salesman who came to the door and sold me a bill of goods to switch. Run away from it! Choose another provider!
As soon as possible, I will even be getting rid of the internet with Spectrum. I just needed it today so I could leave this review! Very disappointed. I honestly was a loyal Time Warner customer as I did not experience any issue and only minimal increases over several years as a subscriber. Since the migration to Spectrum, I am very disappointed. I received a notice that my rates would change as soon as my existing offer ended. Well OK…with little options locally I waited for my expiration date to approach.
This was the last straw so I have since cancelled most services and have retained Internet and basic TV. I choose to go with a streaming packing from a competitor for premium TV viewing. I thought great, sign me up. I was told the letter was sent in error and there was nothing they could do.
Again very disappointed that I received this response and there was no effort put forth to acknowledge and honor the offer sent. We have been in Time Warner for a long time and when transferred to Spectrum, they are the worst.
They do not consider IF you are long time customer or not. They do not care about you! Worse company ive ever seen, internet goes down every hrs and stays down for 30mins — 1hr, like wth am i paying for here???? Thank you very much for being a worthless company that steals money from people and is horrible with the customer service…………… thanks a bunch………NOT!!!!! Spectrum Cable is horrendous. I recommend everyone to switch providers immediately.
Spectrum raise my bill twice in 6months. Spectrum is the worst internet company to use. They are rude on the phone and their accounting department cant do their jobs. I cancelled my service six months back and they are now giving me a bill for the difference when they told me six months ago that i paid it.
And instead of doing their job and trying to contact me in the last six months they instead put me directly into collections ruining my credit on their mistake and incompetence. Want to let all know about Spectrum. I was on the phone for over 2 hours with Spectrum and was finally told the truth. Surprise at the 1 year my fees increased. What a disappointment. I called to ask about it and the rep. She offered to cancel my service.
That was it. At least the other companies are upfront about fee increases. Spectrum app on Roku absolutely sucks! Suffice it to say it is not a viable alternative. Why the Spectrum people would not hire the proper people to make this work is beyond me. Sling TV has some issues as well but nothing compared to this.
I hate this company. The only thing I wish upon them is good competition. I will be the first to leave. Their bundle package is a joke. Been there, done that, not again. Poor, unreliable, and expensive service.
Thank goodness ATT is now in the area so I plan on checking with them…. Think its time to do some shopping for a new service! Then we would actually be receiving a signal closer to what was advertised. My area recently switched from Time Warner to Spectrum. So they will put be back to time warner pricing as long as I give up most of my TV channels.
Another night with poor cable performance while watching Monday night football. Time Warner was poor and Spectrum has picked up where they left off — poor. It is the absolute worst. We pay good money for charter, and it works probably less than half the time, we use our internet every single day. You are better off paying more for internet and having it work most or all the time, than having charter and having it work probably less than half the time. It is truly horrible.
It is all automated with some s! And then they keep playing passing the pillow with your call. They do not understand when you say you need address change, instead you will have two bills at your doorstep at each month.
Before spectrum happened TWC was good but it is nothing but pathetic now. Charter Spectrum is more than horrible. We would get such a good deal with a bundle, that was a load of crap too! They had no intention of paying out any contract that I had currently. I was lied to all the way around with this company. Do not go with Charter Spectrum, they are dishonest as the day is long! The customer service reps lie so bad and they take money from your account and lie to you about getting it back..
Do not be fooled by them, they are no good! Hi we live in the NYC area and just switched to spectrum from Fios and I have to say so far very pleased w the service. It was very easy to get done — service has been great — actually better than Fios! Just to make sure we are at the same page, lets have a quick recap before ending the chat. You will get:. Katherine P. I asked my service be terminated. They screwed us in N.
We may all have to go back to antenas attached soon. We gave up all but their internet service for this same reason They hook you in with the TV channels you watch and then start removing channels to get more money out of you every month.
I have never tested it at more than 15 Mbps — no matter what service I test it with. There are thousands of complaints nationwide about this too and Attorney Generals in a number of states are suing them for falsely advertising internet speeds. Here in NC, they own the state legislature outright, so they are protected from having to satisfy consumer complaints. I give them a I too despise them and hate paying their bill every month. Talk about false advertising!!!
We had been with Dishnetwork for more than 10years and decided to change to Spectrum based on their advertisement. The advertisement basically states they have inexpensive prices, no contracts should you bundle your services.
He worked on one tv for more than two hours, not knowing what to do. He later called in for help. Overall, it took him more more than eight hours to install the service. The tv in question I promised had no prior problems and was basically new two years old. It was only used when our daughter would come home from college.
This is the room she sleeps in when she is home,so we have no real need to use that tv being we have a tv in our bedroom and in the family room This LG smart tv was the only tv he had a problem installing and that is the one that will not work and they are saying it is not their fault and will repair or replaced the tv. When the installer left the following things were left wrong or undone. The installer could not get the tv to work initially. He later went outside and worked on something and it came on.
The tv was turned off it was off until our daughter came home. When she turned it on it was snowy and blotchy. She turned it off and went shopping. The cables they laid are not buried underground as they promised someone would return the next week to bury the cable.
We called several times requesting they be buried. They are still not buried. The incompetent installer broke our LG smart tv. I feel soooo cheated and taken advantage of. DO NOT! The staff is rude and incorrect ,they will NOT work with you nor provide extensions.
Your bill is due on a certain day ,the bastards disconnect early in the morning ,not even giving you until 5 pm. They are horrible and need to be investigated ASAP!
I went into the Spectrum store and I see just about every customer returning their equipment! Whoever came up with this shady ass service needs to be prosecuted for stealing, Ridiculous!
And so are the people who slave for them. Horrendous all the way around. Worst customer service. Less than 24 hours after making my payment I was not able to do watch anything. This would be a horrible horrible company to have for a small business. My friend warned me about how horrible this network is before getting it, so I already had a bad taste in my mouth about it.
There are times where I have to wait days for a new episode to actually show up on the listing. I will choose something to watch and then it will play the first 15 seconds and pause.
When I click out and back again it either does the same thing or it says it is unavailable at this time. If you have a choice on a cable company — count this one out. I can only say that my experience with Spectrum has been an absolute nightmare. I originally scheduled a change over from Frontier to Spectrum with the tech scheduled to show up on I scheduled a disconnect from Frontier to take place on giving me a week to work with.
I also ported over the home phone number to Spectrum. I suggested he just patch the cable for now, install the equipment, and then have the cable repaired. Have to wait a week for the cable to be replaced. A week later and nobody has shown up to replace the cable. I also found out that my home phone had been disconnected since the seventh. After spending an hour on my cell phone they scheduled someone to come out on the 16th to install the new cable between 8 and 8.
I come home from work to find the pull box by the street pulled out of the ground, the sod tore to hell, and the cable was run to the house underground like it was suppose to be, but when it got to the bushes by the house it was just laying there, on the surface, and not even terminated at the house.
Called Spectrum again and complained about this half ass install. They finally scheduled someone to come out on the 18th to do the cable right and install the equipment. They show up at at night pitch black out and replace the cable using flash lights and they did do it the right way, but broke a sprinkler line in the process. And tore up the lawn again.
Get the boxes installed and up and running and they pack up to leave. Hey guys, what about the phone? So I call my home phone from my cell phone and guess what? I get a recording that says this number is no longer in service. They never activated the home phone.
They fix that and take off. They never took the protective plastic off the front of them. They left NO instructions what so ever for any of the equipment, no channel line up, no instructions for the remote, nada. So I go online and download the instruction manual for the remote….
Only to find that I had to call them to activate the box. Would of been helpful if they told me that when I swapped the box. Anyhow…they schedule yet another tech to come out and swap the box yet again. This tech spent THREE HOURS fixing all the crap the other techs had screwed up, cleaned up the spaghetti mess in the closet, mounted the amplifier, reran the power supply properly, replaced the DVR with a newer DVR from another manufacturer, showed us how to use the remote and the boxes, and apologizes profusely for all the screw ups.
I told him I wanted to turn off the voice mail on the phone, he said you can do that online via the Spectrum website. Three hours on the phone back and forth with Spectrum I am finally able to register on the Spectrum site. All I wanted to do was log on and turn off the voice mail on the phone.
When I tried to do that it would not let me as I needed a four digit security code found on my bill. So when using their chat feature I was given an number to call to get this code. I call the number and get one sales pitch after another for everything under the sun. So now I have to wait a month for my bill so I can get the code and turn off my voice mail.
Which I cannot access any messages left without this damn code. Something that should have taken no more than a couple of hours at best. But between Frontier and Spectrum, Spectrum is the lesser of the two evils, believe it or not. On the technical side we have a better picture and a stable mbps Internet connection.
Amen again. If this shows what the country is allowing telecommunication companys to do God help us. I had Spectrum installed on Monday the 27th. Its now the 27th, three calls to tech support and 2 visits by technicians later…. My advice, find another provider. Hello,I used to have dish service but I missed all the programs on Spectrum Cable so Spectrum Cable helped me leave Dish Network and I have never had 1 bit of trouble with Spectrum as a Company always there when I call or when I need them to make a service call to my home.
Worst customer service in America. They will Short Change you in any way possible. Transfer is the only word they understand transfer you to another department. The absolute worst customer service than any company ever. Way over priced for what u get. Always raising there prices. No thanx. Spectrum are flat out liars. I had Time Warner, before spectrum bought them. So my plan was still on Time warner tier. They told me I could switch to a spectrum plan, and the cost is exactly the same.
At no cost to me. So i agreed. They said sorry but the person I talked to was wrong. So basically, they flat out lied to me and then told me to screw off. The service is terrible,internet is slow on what speeds you have. I have problems and waste half of day for them to find nothing wrong at the house. Worst cable company EVER! Cable is always going out and you never get any help from the customer service reps and price is sky high for what you get.
DVR boxes are a piece of crap. Recording a program is a joke. The boxes are constantly rebooting and they are junk. I am purchasing a streaming box and doing away with cable altogether. Goodbye Charter. No Sense. Guess I will be looking at other options. Beware, Beware, especially Senior Citizens!
On November 22, , we received a call from Bonnie, a Representative of Spectrum. We understood the deal to be one month of free service for Cable, WiFi, and Telephone.
My Husband and I asked several questions and felt that we fully understood that we would have one month free in order to decide if we wanted to continue service or not. We agreed to have a Technician come out and set everything up which was done on November 27th.
I called Customer Service, who informed me that there was no such Promotional Deal and the billed amount would have to be paid by December 16, This was 21 days after installation. I was sure that there was a misunderstanding so I called Bonnie. I had Dish previously but since I moved to an apartment, I had to switch to cable due to the satellite not reaching a signal.
Which can be frustrating at times. Cinemax, etc. I had constant trouble with Direct TV. I always had trouble getting signal, if it was raining or cloudy, forget it!
I love Dish Network! The signal is great, the prices are great, I get more channels than Direct TV and at a cheaper rate. I had the Hopper 1, and the responsive time to channel surf, search for movies, record, was extremely slow! In my opinion, I think it just depends where you live, which might determine the type of service you get as well as the customer representative.
Hey whoa.. Spectrum sucks! Spectrum is CRAP! They claim to have the best technology. Guess they have never head of the cable giant Comcast. I just dropped Spectrum TV in favor of Dish. The has been an outage for 3 days which was supposedly fixed. Charter agreed to send a technician, but in 3 weeks. Dish came in one day and installed. Spectrum is much, much worse than when it was Time Warner Cable. Internet is intermittent, some channels have so much pixillating as to be unwatchable and much more expensive!
The DVR is just about worthless. Works when it wants which is odd due to how much they charge. My problem with Spectrum is not the service. My problem with Spectrum is the lack of consideration and professionalism of customer service.
Every time I call they give me wrong information and all the agents do not give me the same information. I have been cut off twice due to lack of communication. The management and professionalism of managers is terrible. They do not care about your situation and it does not matter to them to lose customers. Decided to sign up with Spectrum Con Artists since they promise to pay off your termination fee. After I got my final bill from Direct TV I sent them all they asked for and the termination fee was approved.
I waited for weeks and finally got fed up so I called they told me yes it was their fault and they were sorry and will send out a check. A few more weeks went by and nada still, so I called again and they said again they were so sorry and they will have someone call me back that could deal with this.
Again no call nada. At this point I am really frustrated so had my wife call to help and they told her email spectrum email. Almost 10 months later I can believe the disregard like they dont give a shit. The audacity of this company. Spectrum makes me sick.
Spectrum TV are thieves, scam artists, molesters of your wallet, dirt, slime, lower than life. Do not fall for Spectrum Scam and Lies. Otherwise you will be so sorry you signed up with Spectrum Cable Television.
Have to reset my modem like i have to do at least once a week…it is beginning to become part of the routine which is a horrible thing. Spectrum cable is a rip off. Oh no, my spectrum tv service with roku is out again!!! Maybe I should switch to direct tv. I have lost service several times. Charter is aware of the issue. Another f…. Could care less about customer service. Promise on any device blah blah blah.
Then it goes out. Misleading advertising, unreliable and slow internet, over-priced. Charges much higher than advertised! I really wanted to leave a review for this company for a while.
I now have an extreme hatred for this company as they refused to install my internet. The installer gets to my apartment and opens the area where my cable line is and tells me we have no line. So I called the main office of my complex and told them apparently we have no cable line? I call the main office again and they said they could figure something out—the installer could just come to the main office and fill out a form allowing him to do whatever he needed, essentially. At this point I had been in my apartment for 2 weeks waiting for them to come out.
Which was inconvenient being a student with no internet access. But I understood it took time to get someone out there. My big problem is getting roped into a service without a DVR in So been trying to find either an alternative or a way to switch to a company where I can get a DVR. I joined as company was still Time Warner and it was super expensive the DVR and extra cost so not part of the deal I had in and it kept rising.
Spectrum is like a whole different company. But, I am a TWC legacy customer so not sure how it will affect me. Spectrum packages are worse than TWC and about the same or a little more expensive. I like the current deal I have but costs are rising but not moving to a Spectrum package. I did try the recording on PC routine with a capture card connected to cable box but it is a pain.
Since everything is HD the files are really big so GB get used up quickly when I record sports and movies and the news. So even a 1 TB storage external is not enough. I only have GB on drive C. I had to go component to evade the copy right protection. So it has become a pain in the ass. Especially having to leave the PC all the time on like overnight or when I am gone from apartment. I fried the CPU and had to change it. So looking to make changes so I have a better way of recording.
UVerse is one option but not sure about the deal listed in the mail but DVR is included. Another tempting option is DTV Now with playon to record the shows, but it will require using a hard drive, however I can use a laptop and not just a desktop. I am still learning about playon and so they have a cloud version but it is for mobile and a desktop version which records to hard drive. Hopefully files are smaller and I can run them on VLC. Not totally sure on things.
So I have questions about how playon works. Also looked at Tivo but too expensive and I would need a cable card. Right now not sure how much the increase in two months will be with this TWC legacy Spectrum service. I got a bundle in Therefore, I am fact finding different options. But the review was right on about Spectrum. At least UVerse will carry the big broadcast channels. DTV Now might not but it is based on region. So that is an extra headache. I would have to add a DVR if I can to an already increasing bill and as a legacy customer I better not lose channels and get sent to a Spectrum package.
