that you can't find on other services?

It can be "4k content", "user interface", "cost" or something else.

I have internet and streaming through a provider called Bluestream, and they allow you to scroll back in time for 4 days and watch almost any show. You can also start the current shows from the beginning.

I often start watching a show about 15 minutes after it starts because I can fast forward through the commercials. Any show that ends late at night gets watched the next day.

I love the Roku search across all the apps and being able to jump right to the show in whatever app. Also the new continue watching list on the home screen.

YTTV quad view on Saturdays for college football is also good, but I wish I could pick my own groupings.

What service?

I don't know what my service outs because it part of my HOA dues. I don't really have a choice...

While I like this feature, on Direct Stream, using it disables fast-forward. Large bummer.

That would be a bummer.

Blue Stream allows me to fast forward on all shows. When I first got it, it was regular cable - I had to have a coax cable running to the TV and although there was an app, it didn't work well. The "free" version of Blue Stream only had standard definition. I kept YTTV, because all of the HD boxes I needed cost just as much as YTTV.

About 3 months after I move in, Blue Stream upgraded service so that our free service was all run through a new app and everything was HD. I dropped YTTV and have been happy with Blue Stream.

I think Blue Stream is only available in Florida, and I was prepared to hate it, because I think they mainly market to HOAs and therefore have a captive audience. That's a smart move, because when they go through the HOAs, they are guaranteed revenue from 100% of the homes in that neighborhood. To this point, it has been pretty good, and I have not had to pay extra for an upgrade.

Hadn't tried it yet, may have to check it out one weekend. Not being able to pick the groupings would piss me off.

I like the unlimited DVR feature with YTTV. It also has the options to watch a show from the beginning, then FF through commercials. I use it for Saints/LSU games all the time. And if I need to step away for awhile, I can just exit the app and come back and "Join where you left off"
