UltimateTV from Microsoft was top notch*
 Previous Message Streaming platform Previous Message Xfinity would do this fun thing where it’d skip me live for no reason and completely ruin a game for me about every 4 recordings. Previous Message I love watching football games later. I hit the 15s skip once or twice (depending on if the team is hurry up or not) after every play. With a physical DVR, the data is there, so the jump is immediate. With YTTV, there's anywhere from 1-8s of buffering. It still saves time, but it changes from a 45 minute watch to a 60-65 minute watch. I grudgingly take it to not have another hardware box, but I wish I could tell it to buffer 35s ahead for a specific recorded show, or that it would learn what I do. Previous Message Previous Message Every time I try to use Youtube TV it just makes me angry. Having a DVR is vasty superior. The only time that isn't true is the rare occasion where there is a storm that knocks out the sattelite, but that happens way less frequently than the wifi going out. Previous Message The cost savings part is definitely all gone, but all things being equal, I’d prefer no unnecessary hardware.
