    Exceptional organization and explanation of the features. Just one recommendation...need more pauses because it may be intuitive to you who have been using this for a while but for the learner, we need time to assimilate what you just said before moving on to the next screen, especially since we are moving from the video to the tv and trying it for ourselves. Very needed for the hands-on learners. Thank goodness for rewind!!

    Was thinking about canceling my cable and moving over to RUclipsTV. After watching this vid, I've decided to stick with cable as its number pad remote allows far easier and faster access to the channels I watch. Thanks for making this an easy decision.

      Your comment is very interesting. I like Comcast because I can record "new shows only" and that is not available on YTTV. I am going to go the YTTV route though as it will save me $60 per month. I lose the one perk, however, pocket $60 in savings.

    Going to give YT TV a try...I have an older TV but I have had Amazon Firestick for a couple of years so good to go.
    I look forward to not having signal loss during rough weather (Iowa) when you need the TV the most, lol.

    On the "Most Watched" option for setting up your sequence of channels on the guide, is it based on the most watched channels by everyone, or does it calculate what you personally watch and automatically sequence the channels? I'm thinking if it's automatic based on what you personally watch, then you might have to wait a month or so for it to figure it out.

    • @MichaelSaves
      @MichaelSaves  2 года назад +5

      I'm not sure it takes a month, but I demonstrated with a new account. It is based on the email address you log in with -- not everyone in the family. The more you watch, the better the recommendations. Deleting your watch history will reset things.

    Hi Michael, I have been hanging around your channel for about 2 years now debating on going the streaming route.
    I have had cable TV for over 30 years. So simple coming home and there is an instant live channel talking to you, then you put groceries away and start channel surfing. Fast and easy.
    Then my 2 year contract with my cable provider was up December 8.
    There was no negotiating because I was an existing customer.
    The current cable + internet was going from $187 to $260 a month for the same exact plan.
    Because of you and your channel, I bought 3 Roku’s for each TV set everything up on my own, restablished my Netflix plan onto the roku’s and signed up for RUclips TV with the 21 day trial, as well as using the
    The free Pluto Tv app which has an amazing selection under their movies category.
    I owe this all to you because of your dedication to keeping us up to date on streaming. Plus I followed your How-to videos for setting up Roku and Beginning RUclips TV.
    Thank, thank you, thank you.

      @@cheveryloliver1928 No complaints. It has worked out well. I bought a Roku Express 4K and added the RUclips app (which is pre installed) then you only need to be signed in on your computer and it’s always there like cable. You only need to organize your channel lineup in the order you want to see them when you go to the live tv guide. You don’t organize on the TV, you do it on the RUclips TV website. You move them up or down the list and on the computer. When you turn on the TV and click the RUclips TV app, your channel lineup order shows up on the TV.
      Once you open the app on TV, at the top, you’ll see Library, Home, Live. Press the arrow to highlight “ Live” to get the TV Guide.
      Only thing I miss is channel surfing. Instead you’re app searching. But I do have a better selection of movies and shows through the Roku, RUclips TV, and Pluto TV, and paying $73 monthly + internet vs $260 monthly with cable

    Thanks so much, Michael, for all your videos. I finally did a RUclipsTV trial a month ago. I liked it and actually had more channels and features than my basic cable package (the DVR, on demand programs, etc.). So I got the one day NBA deal last week for $75 off the first 3 months (even after another 2 week free trial but I just had to use another Google account). I felt so good walking into my cable company yesterday with boxes and remotes in hand and telling them to cancel my TV! A liberating experience! And I have more shelf space in my TV rooms and less cords and cables, etc. For 3 months, I'll save $85 a month and then once my subscription goes to the regular price, I'll be saving about $60 a month. It was easy for me since I use Chromecast for years now anyway to stream stuff. Great job!

    A couple of questions from a long time TiVo user. When you set a recording for a sporting event, can you add time - football games often go an hour past the scheduled time. When setting up a TV show to record, can you set it to record new broadcasts only - if you said record CSI, you might get 10+ years of recordings otherwise. THanks

    We got our Charter/Spectrum bill just last week. $303!!! Way too big an increase at a time when the whole country is suffering. I dropped home phone and cable TV, keeping the 200 Mbps Internet. We decided RUclips TV and Philo to cover the missing History Channel and my wife likes the extra Hallmark channels missing from RUclips TV. We’re saving close to $200.00 a month.
    We find that the services are just as good as cable with respect to reception quality, but it’s considerably less convenient having to deal with two lineups just to get the same channels.
    The worst part is the clutter caused by the rudimentary “DVR” recording so many unwanted episodes. Seriously, having to wade through everything ever made on a series just to watch one episode is just asinine. If their developers can’t do better than that, it’s time to fire them all and start over.
    RUclips offered a free trial all right. Two days! I signed up at night, so we got a free trial of 20 hours. Keep that in mind, I wish I had known.

    This is great but I have 2 questions--when you mentioned keeping yours on auto at the HD button must you do this for each show or is there a place you can do it for all TV and if it is an HD item will it automatically (ergo the word automatic) come through in HD? Sorry for my ignorance but it makes a big difference in sports. Thank you

    • @MichaelSaves
      @MichaelSaves  5 месяцев назад +1

      When you keep it on auto, it will stay that way for all channels. But some channels are in 1080p and others in 720p -- then you can pay extra for 4K (limited content)

    The home screen seems like it's all over the place. I'd like to know how they create all these different categories that seem to change over time. I understand top picks for you and resume watching but beyond that It's all over the place it seems. If I do select one of the movies I don't see the ability to watch a trailer. Now do I see a thumbs up or thumbs down where you can tell the system you like or don't like the movie. By having the ability to go in and look at older movies, select, and the give your thumbs up or down the system can learn much quicker your type of viewing. Only have had it for a week so I'm still learning.

    Michael: What is happening with RUclips TV ?? I've been a customer for many years with very few "glitches" but recently I can no longer login. Apparently my acct has disappeared after I chose to skip viewer selection (Yes -> No) even though the existing acct should still be active and subject to price increase. The prompt to begin a 20 minute "free trial" appears CONSTANTLY for no apparent reason. Also there is no obvious way to alert RUclips or Google of this GLITCH. Apparently user feedback is discouraged. Is this any way to run a streaming service especially just before a price increase ??

    For those coming from Cable, the screen appears for me to be very busy with all of the shows icon. I like simplicity. Is there an option to remove the Icons so you just see the name of the shows to remove so much clutter? Like windows explorer on your pc - you can browse with icons or just a list format of file name. I would want this simple list function in the guide but most importantly in the library. Also, I want shows to be grouped and when you click on that show grouping you can see only the new episodes. I am not interested in seeing 100's of old content. I only want to see new recordings in a grouped setting by show and only new recordings. Also, the last time I tried RUclips about 3 years ago the main reason I cancelled was the inability to select a show and watch where I left off. For example, I am looking for the functionality to navigate to a recording in the library, click on the grouped show name, and I could see in the list a slide bar indicating which episode I left off with a the slide bar would indicate I had watched about 50% of the show. I would then click play and it would start where if I left off watching. In the 3 year old version it would start from the show beginning and not where I left off. As insane as it is I would write on a piece of paper the name of the show and how much I had watched. I then had to fast scroll and make a big guess about where I left off. Hugely frustrating. Have they invested in their product and fixed any or all of these frustrations. Is there an alternative that fixes these problems - DirectTV Stream? Many thanks

    • @MichaelSaves
      @MichaelSaves  Год назад +3

      1. There is no option to remove icons.
      2. From the library, NEW IN YOUR LIBRARY is shown by default. That will be the newest recorded content. In a series, new and old episodes are recorded.
      3. You can continue watching with RUclips TV and pick up where you left off. If you have paused your watch history with Google, this feature will not work correctly.
