  1. Gotcha. Yeah, get a FireStick and you'll have your traditional guide that you're used to. Makes it so much better.
  2. Ah gotcha. I can't remember if the Apple TV has the guide update or not. Once they updated the guide, it made it much more user-friendly, IMO.
  3. What do you watch Sling on? The Guide on the FireTV and FireStick looks just like a regular TV guide.
  4. Are those part of the Movie Package?
  5. I'm about 50 miles South of DC. So it's tough to pick up much with an antenna where I am. I've looked into some that are good for a 75 mile range, so I may give it a shot and see what I can pick up. There's definitely plenty of options now. I've been following along with YouTube TV because they do have all of the major networks, but they don't have as large of a channel selection as Sling. There's really no reason to keep shelling out $100+/month for cable or satellite anymore.
  6. Do you just have Sling Blue or Blue + Orange? We have Blue + Orange. It's been really nice. When I cancelled DTV, my bill was $82 and going up to $130. They offered me $100 to stay and I said no thanks. So I'm basically saving $45/month on what DirecTV was charging me and I'm getting a few channels that I lost with DirecTV when I downgraded our package. Also do CBS All-Access. It's nice, but the thing that bothers me is the picture quality isn't the greatest. Every other app has great looking video, but CBS is lacking. But for $6/month to have access to local CBS that I can't get with Sling, but a ton of shows on-demand, it's worth the cost. I've been looking into getting an antenna to pick up all the local channels. The only local I can't watch live is ABC, but with Hulu, we can watch all the shows the day after they air, so no real issue there.
  7. Yes, Sling uses your billing address for local channels. I would imagine the NFL games on local channels would not be blacked out. And a nice bonus is that you can get the RedZone channel on Sling. I've been using Sling for about a month now and outside of not being able to watch MASN, I haven't really missed DirecTV.
  8. I have the Echo Dot and think it's pretty useful. Haven't used to full potential yet, but I like it.
  9. So where's the uproar over the guy holding the flag during the Anthem last night while texting?
  10. Wow that's gotta be the lowest he's ever graded him!
  11. But it seems like whenever people disagree with him, he gets so upset and goes on a rant. I mean 90% of the people that call into sports talk shows are idiots anyway, but Cooley needs to not freak out when people don't agree with him. Curious to hear what his grade is for Cousins if anyone is listening
  12. Hope you do it at home when you're watching TV and it's on
  13. Heard Cooley got upset with callers yesterday for criticizing the Skins' play and wanted to stop taking calls. Why is he still on the radio?
  14. Your freedom of speech only applies when it coincides with what I believe in, got it? As for the "O" during the Anthem, I agree. I only yell it at O's games. Seems silly to hear people yell it during a Redskins game. It's just funny to me that people get so uptight over this. Kap gave a great response to Trent Dilfer's ignorant crap last night. Dilfer basically said that Kap should be quiet because he's a backup QB and they're job is to be quiet. To which Kap responded perfectly: “I just heard briefly about it. But I think that’s one of the most ridiculous comments I’ve heard. The fact that you say, ‘You’re a back-up quarterback, stay in your place’… that’s an issue. To me, you’re telling me that my position as a back-up quarterback and being quiet is more important than peoples’ lives. I would ask him to really have a conversation with the families of people that have been murdered and see if he still feels that way. Because I’d bet you he doesn’t. Just because he hasn’t experienced that type of oppression.”
  15. This is interesting and something I've thought of lately. How many people that don't like what Kap is doing also say "O" or "Red" during the Anthem at the local games?
  16. Steinberg still saying the Skins have no plans to wear a Color Rush jersey this year
  17. Sure why not. What's the difference? The Anthem is the Anthem.
  18. My point is if you're criticizing the players for not standing, you better be standing.
  19. They showed the Anthem before numerous games yesterday. Including SNF. So everyone that's taking issue with the players not standing and what not, I hope they stopped stuffing their faces and stood for the Anthem.
  20. I hope all of you were standing during the Anthems yesterday
  21. This is an interesting article about the use of the Anthem at sporting events. I'm not sure how I feel about it. On one hand, I do think it's odd that we play the Anthem before every sporting event, but at the same time, it's tradition at this point. I'd be fine if they just resorted to only singing the Anthem before big time events like the Super Bowl, World Series, NBA/NHL Finals, etc. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/31/sports/football/colin-kaepernicks-anthem-protest-underlines-union-of-sports-and-patriotism.html?ref=sports&_r=0
  22. That's where I am on this too. I think he's gone about it the wrong way, but I don't fault someone for standing up (or sitting down in this case) for something they feel strongly about. It's his right as an American to be able to do something like this.
  23. I don't think beating good teams or bad teams really matters. You can only play the teams on your schedule. Sure, we were 0-3 against teams with winning records, but look who we lost to. Panthers (15-1), Patriots (12-4), and Jets (10-6). Those games were also all on the road, and those teams were a combined 20-4 at home. Also, take into account there were only 12 teams with winning records in the entire league.
  24. So this one is for ix, who just loves callers. Was listening to the Junkies on my way in this morning and they were taking calls. This is pretty much word for word what this guy said: "Kirk Cousins prepares for every football game like it's a football game." What the hell does that mean? I guess I'm glad he's not preparing for football games like they're baseball games. That would be weird.
