I didn't see that option. Maybe I missed it. I'll try it out tonight. Either way not a big deal. Minor inconvenience I suppose.

Are you using a Fire Tv?

From my experience with this on the PS4, you can watch it from the beginning by bringing up the info screen(or whatever it's called) and hitting "start over". However, you can't fast forward through commercials if the show is still on.



I watched better call Saul last night on the PS4, 30 minutes after it started.

I was able to select start over and I was able to fast forward through commercials

The thing that stood out the most was the way the quality of the picture fluctuated. Appeared to drop to 720 or less when changing channels or a new show started or when going to commercials.


Considering all TV channels broadcast in 720P/1080i, I am assuming you are complaining about the picture quality after you change channels.

It works like Netflix where the adaptive bitstream takes a little bit before you get HD picture quality. Just not sure there is much they can do here.

Push down on the remote. In the options, there is an arrow pointing to the left. That is the start over option.

i found the start over "button". Wouldn't work on the movie I tried. I'll try again tonight on a tv show instead.

Correct, but I've never experienced such fluctuation while watching satellite or cable.

That's how it appears at first but then I started noticing that it does this a lot. Even during the broadcast.

I agree. At least not at this time.

Just so many more variables at play. So much infrastructure between you and the servers.

I don't get that fluctuation. It is probably on your side.

DirecTV doesn't fluctuate on my side.

If the cost is worth it to you then go for it.

Some of us are willing to put up with that to save $100/month.

During the week I am barely home. I am vastly overpaying for a service I don't need. I am willing to accept a slightly inferior product for a big discount.

Considering I can get my locals OTA, and watch espn has a standalone app, the biggest thing for me (football) is covered by that anyway.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to pimp DirecTV over Vue. Someone just said that the issue might be on my side and I'm refuting that by saying I don't have that issue when watching satellite.

I'm still weighing Vue as an option because nothing would make me happier than calling DirecTV and telling them to suck a testicle.

Vue comes in via your internet connection, which is why he said the quality fluctuations are probably on your side. Who is your internet provider, and what speed do you have?

I think they were saying your internet isn't adequate, all of my devices are on wifi and I've had zero issues with what you're saying

Looks like ESPN3, ESPN Classic and ESPN Deportes are being added to the Vue Guide if you're paying for it

Vue Core?

yeah I'm sure that's the one..access only offers ESPN and ESPN2..but ESPN3 might be an option on Access. Core will probably take care of the rest.

Are you on Core? If so..what Fox Sports Regional channels do you have access to on the guide?

Do you occasionally get the Fox Sports NOLA feed for Pelicans games?

I've honestly never paid attention, guess it's too late to keep an eye out for it now
