Anybody else at LF trying this streaming tv service? 1st week is free,and after that it is 20 bucks a month and you get AMC and TNT,among other stations.
HBO is another $15 per month.
There are also free movies for your basic monthy subscription,as well as pay movies.
My Direct TV account was 70 bucks per month,but is creeping back up to a little over 100 bucks a month again,so I am looking for options.
I subscribed and hook up to it using my ROKU player,but you can also do both on your PC,or even on your smart phone.

Just subscribed a couple hours ago,and have mixed feelings about it. A lot of the programs I would watch on it can also be watched on my Netflix and my Amazon Prime account for free,but not all. RIght now I have am/have been watching the History Channel on it,and the History Channel is also available on Netflix. Haven't checked to see if the programming is identical yet,though.
Frankly,AMC and TNT are big draws for me and why I am looking into it.
So far MY opinion is that it works as advertised,but there are a couple of negatives. The 2 big negatives is I don't see any way to record programs there yet,and the programming is hard to figure out. Frankly,I am spoiled by my Dish Network and Direct TV DVR's and their ability to check upcoming shows and record them instantly as well as VOD shows. Trying to find and view a program in episode order is at best "clunky" for me.
I may just decide at the end of the 7 days that it's worth another 80 bucks a month to have the convenience of recording and an excellent search engine from Dish or Direct. My time may not be worth much dollar wise,but it is worth something to me and I would rather spend it watching shows than trying to find them and remember when they come on.
What say yee?
