Notice How to watch root sports without cable

Yessir.

 

Let me take that back. All 4 will be on ROOT . Now ESPN or NBATV May pick them up, but that won’t affect/effect our watchability.

 

WTF? That will really piss me off. I was just bragging about watching the Mariners game on Root&Dish the other night.

 

RIGHT when the M’s are making a push for the wild card too!

dstream app is the way to go for now.
However just bought a new 65” hisense 4k oled tv but it wasnt clear its a google tv and doesnt allow at&t or direct tv app options!!!!!

so i had to install dstream onto a firestick and it worked beautifully last night.
Im all ready to go for the season!

bring it!

 

The main thing that pisses me off is that I can't use the DVR. I'll find a way to get a quality stream, that's not a problem, I was just excited to finally have a way to record every game. LAME.

 

dstream has recording options.

 

So you want to use affect.

 

Still confused.

 

Because ESPN is doing something to our ability they are Affecting us. (the Arrow hits us.) Our lack of being able to watch on YouTube TV is an effect.

 

ummm….







Amazon….

 

be aware. Hisense runs off the google app. It does not allow att or dstream as a direct app you will need a firestick or third party app holder to use those if you want. Not sure what else they wont allow.
Otherwise ill just copy to you what i told someone else about it who asked:

Had great reviews. Picture is awesome but havent watched a game yet. Just a movie.

Sound is way better than my other tvs too. Not sure i need additional speakers.

 

Hisense runs off of different apps. I just bought a Hisense six months ago that runs off of Roku. You just have to check the box to see what the OS is.

 

Im not familiar with roku but i thought it was advertised with roku. Maybe different models different apps?
I know mine says runs with alexa maybe that was the tipoff i missed? I should have tied alexa to google?

sooo confusing these days.
So ready to go back to analog knobs with an hbo box ontop of the consule. Lol.

3,5,7,9,11,13 and a big hbo box with a knob on it. hbo/tv

anyone remember those days? Or did i just date myself back to The stone ages?

 

the thing to pay attention to is the back lighting.
Most tvs are now are not good for both movies and sports because of the light contrasts. Most good tvs for sports are too bright for movies and vice versa.
The hisense i bought had lots of reviews saying this was one of the best for both.

bought a 65” samsung last year and quickly found out it was great for movies but the games were too dark. Crowds look like shadows at times.

This is a hard thing to predefine on tvs I've found. I watched a few youtube videos of actual comparison reviews to get a better idea of the difference between the tvs.
As i assume most here like watching sports, i found this the biggest factor in what makes it a good tv or not.

 

Even when adjusting the brightness this is an issue?
I have an older Samsung and Vizio with different brightness profiles so I switch if the sun is out or its dark or movies/sports. Seems to work fine but these TVs are not the latest best picture quality.

 

The key to the different brightness options is how good the backlighting is. From what ive been reading/seeing, is that the backlighting will have different quality levels and depending on how its built into the tv, this affects how much play you will have with it. Let me dig up the review video i watched on this and post a link. They explain it much better than i could. Im no techy. Lol.
