      Would love a channel lineup with numbers so you can access the channel directly without scrolling. Probably never going to happen. Also wish there was the ability to only add new episodes to your library with the ability to delete old episodes that take up space on the cloud DVR.

      Yea, that is a common complaint. Unfortunately, it's one of those things where A&E would likely force them to take on all of their channels. That'd require YT TV to either drop some they currently hold, or a price hike. Thankfully, Frndly is available for a fairly affordable rate.

      Hopefully they'll add that in the future, keeping in line with their statements. Live sports is obviously the main draw on that, but other channels, like news, would be nice to have.

  • @spaceghost4474
    @spaceghost4474 Год назад +4

    I haven't gotten the updated guide with the clock yet, but my Roku Ultra is about 5 years old, so that's probably why.
    What I'm really looking forward too is the improvements in controlling your library content that they announced last year.
    They weren't specific, but hopefully, being able to record and delete individual episodes or seasons will be included.

    • @FrugalRules
      @FrugalRules  Год назад +3

      We remember you mentioning that. Both of our devices are several years old, so who knows. Yes, that'd really be nice for them to upgrade to. The unlimited feature has always been great, but that missing feature does hold them back.

    I find the way RUclips TV sorts shows with in a series is counterintuitive. Most other streaming services sort from oldest to most recent (starting with season 1). RUclips TV sorts from most current to oldest. It would also be great to have more control over recently watched shows or even channels. I have been watching a series on Showtime and every time I want to watch it I have to search for the show in the search bar

    SIMPLE Things DRIVING ME CRAZY ON YTTV!
    1. If you PAUSE the video, 40% of the screen is covered up with menu nonsense, I paused to see the image, not to see a menu! At the least, give me a way to hide the menu when paused, OR jus skip putting a giant menu across the display!
    2. There is NEVER a way to see exactly where you are in a video your watching! Ex. I’m watching a 3 hour football game recording, I want to leave and run and errand, so I want to know where I am leaving off (on the recording timeline), if you hit pause you see a GIANT ridiculous menu taking up 40% of display, and yet nowhere does it show on the playing bar WHAT TIME YOU ARE AT? Yes, the bar shows approx. how far you are with red (viewed already), but wouldn’t it be nice to have a “1:02:45” next to the bar (indicating you are 1 hour 2 minutes and 45 seconds)? And yes, I know if I leave and come back to the recording later it will ask to restart where left off, but I want to know where I am, how much time left, and more importantly if I see a play I want to talk about or show somebody, I want to know where it is!
    3. The guide setup and way to bring it up, is, sorry, ridiculous! Why cant I easily get to a simple guide that takes 75% of display and let me scroll thru it to see what is on…..? Getting to the guide is difficult, clumsy, and then when you finally get it up, I see 2 or 3 networks at a time and pressing down once instead of scrolling just pages down like I hit page down. I just want to slowly scroll thru, and see 10 or so networks/channels at a time, like EVERY OTHER GUIDE on the planet. Really annoying! They are trying to be too cute, JUST MAKE IT FUNCTIONAL, NOT CUTE PLEASE.
    4. When I go into the Library, and click on a show I record every morning (Good Morning Football for example), it then shows each episode recorded from the last few days. I see only 2 1/2 episodes on my 70” display, because each one shows the shows logo on about 40% of the display, a GIANT square box with the GMF logo in it, giving me almost no information about it. Instead, the info I am really looking for, when it was recorded, what date, how long it is, is in a tiny little almost unreadable font, and worse, spread all over the display. The network (NFL in this case) is under the big logo, along with the time it was recorded (7am-10am in this case) in TINY LITTLE FONT I CANT SEE, and then the date it was reordered is at the TOP RIGHT of my monitor which is literally 4 feet away on my size TV, and the date is only shown for the recording version that is highlighted!! So I have to scan all over gods creation with a telescope and microscope to simple get the only 2 pieces of information anybody really wants to select a recording, the DATE AND TIME for gods sake! This is RIDICULOUS! Again, STOP BEING CUTE AND MAKE IT FUNCTIONAL PLEASE.
    5. Added to Library! WHAT IS ADDED TO LIBRARY BESIDES THE SHOW I WANT??? New releases? Old episodes? Replays? WHAT is going to record??? How about let me decide “New episodes only”, “All episodes”, “No replays”….. the Library is really a disaster! FIX IT! DO NOT MAKE IT CUTE, MAKE IT FUNCTIONAL!
    6. Guide: Why is the description of the content of shows in the smallest font known to mankind?? I have a gigantic 70” TV, I am sitting 6-8’ from it, it looks like a movie theater screen, and yet with 20/20 vision, I cant read a single thing on the guides program descriptions without standing up, and walking over to 3’ from the tv to be able to read it! USE A BIG, BOLD FONT, STOP TRYING TO BE CUTE AND MAKE IT LOOK FANCY OR PRETYY! I just want to be able to read the damn thing.
    See a theme here? They are trying to be cute and make it look cool. Instead right now it is almost un-usable. I think I’m going back to Directv until they fix this crap. I feel like I’m trying to watch TV on a child’s gameboy the way everything is designed. TERRIBLE ERGONOMICS.

    1. Do you think you can record games on Sunday ticket?
    2. If you get an ad on Channel like let’s say max does that count against one of your 3 streams when watching? Because I was thinking if it does then it’s best to get these apps on there own then you could watch 3 you tube channels and watch max on its own right ?
    Love your channel thanks for all the help you guys give.

    • @FrugalRules
      @FrugalRules  Год назад +2

      Yes, they announced about a week or so ago that you can record games. It doesn't count against your streaming limit, unless you're watching the stream that's recording. Good question! Here's what YT says, from their support page on it. Hope it helps. 🙂
      "For RUclips TV subscribers, NFL Sunday Ticket streams do not count towards Base Plan streams. If you have a RUclips TV Base Plan, and you purchase NFL Sunday Ticket, you’ll get 3 screens for your Base Plan plus 2 streams for NFL Sunday Ticket content. If you have our 4K Plus add-on, and you purchase NFL Sunday Ticket, then you’ll get unlimited screens in your home for your Base Plan plus 2 screens for NFL Sunday Ticket content."
