Re: [AFMUG] OT cynical
This article (and a previous one at theverge.com) makes me want to use my old
Panasonic 42” 720p plasma dumb TV forever, and not hook it up to any streaming
devices either (too late, I’ve got a Roku connected to it). Even so, I’m
probably screwed because it’s connected to an AT&T cable box which is probably
collecting and monetizing the same data. At least none of them have cameras
(AFAIK), although Google, Amazon or Facebook would happily sell me devices that
listen to everything I see and also have cameras.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone, but I wonder if people really know that TV and
streaming device manufacturers don’t really make a profit selling the hardware,
their profit comes from data, ads and crapware.

Yes, we pipe the HDMI through the AVR.
Our DVR+ is hardwired. Don't know if there is a WiFi option.

They do have another box, the AirTV Player (which is basically an Android TV

Re: [AFMUG] OT cynical
The Amazon thing seems to be the only one that looks like it does
everything right, and doesn't have any subscription fees. The only things I
don't like (without having actually used it) are that you have to use a
Fire TV to connect to it, and it's a bit on the pricey side.
The AirTV does almost everything I want, but not quite... Tablo also looks
pretty good, but it's got monthly fees.

This page has a comparison of the Stream+, Romio, Fire TV Recast, and
Tablo. Romio has 4 tuners, but requires a subscription.

Re: [AFMUG] OT cynical
Similar to the DVR+. It has 2 tuners, which works great for us. If you're
watching live TV, you can pause/rewind/fast forward. You can record two
programs while watching a pre-recorded show. It also has several "streaming
channels", but we almost never watch them through the DVR+. If we want to
stream something, we go through the Roku. Roku connects us to pretty much
anything we're interested in; Netflix, Prime, Hulu, Vudu. There must be 30
or 40 different streaming thingies.

Re: [AFMUG] OT cynical
So, the AirTV does have an ethernet port on it, and it works fine to just plug it into the lan instead of using wifi. After it's setup, the over the air channels show up in the Sling app, just like the Sling streaming channels. They do give you the option of signing up for a free account if you don't want to subscribe to Sling. The biggest problem I see with it, is that you can't pause and rewind live tv... you can start recording something and then go watch the recorded program to be able to pause and rewind, but that's a bit of a pain. They do have another box, the AirTV Player (which is basically an Android TV box with a USB tuner that plugs into it), that does let you pause and rewind live TV, but it only works for one TV, and you need to have an antenna connected to it.

If you want the extended guide (more than what downloads automatically)
you need to subscribe to that. But it's a lot cheaper than TiVo. I
went ahead and paid for the lifetime subscription, so now I can ignore
it totally as a sunk cost.
