WOW....... If I get blocked from watching things on Science Channel I will be P*SSED!! Like go on a murder spree p*ssed... (not really but you know what I mean)..
I have to have my How the Universe Works and Space's Deepest Secrets. Those are about the only shows I care about on that channel.
And if they block me from Doctor Who, there will be some MDK187 go down!
Another question that I have is what happens if I use a VPN? I'm really freaking ANGRY that they passed some BS legislation that allows ISPs to sell your browsing history to parasite advertisers and anyone else that will pay.
If they can see you looking up medical things then they can safely assume you are ill or afflicted with (whatever) and use that to their advantage. That's 10000000% unacceptable and I am not going to tolerate it.
I'm shopping for a VPN service to thwart this new level of privacy invasion but I'm concerned with PS Vue, one of the things I read in their TOS is that if your IP address changes they assume you are up to something shady and they ban you for life from Sony services. Presumably running my entire home through a VPN would make it appear to Vue that I'm in say, Oregon, or California or Dallas, yes? I'm worried that the VPN provider may switch me around servers to different IP addresses and cause me to be banned by Sony, permanently. A bit dramatic IMO but Sony is run by a bunch of jerks from everything I've ever heard.
Is the Vue (and Sling) data stream encrypted against ISP nosey snooping data collection? I really do not want my ISP to know ANYTHING about what I watch or read, it's none of their business especially if they are going to monetize it.
If Vue (and Sling) is an encrypted stream that my ISP can't monitor other than seeing that there is an encrypted connection between me and Vue (and Sling) then that's fine and I can place those devices outside of my VPN and use it just for general browsing. This is all new territory to me as I've always just used stuff at default and not cared too much because I felt that my aggressive ad blocking was enough. But they are taking it way beyond what I consider acceptable and I am going to resist and fight back.
edit: Oh hey, and one other thing, does anyone know if you can bind multiple remotes to a single Roku box?
What I want to do is place one Roku in a central location in my home then run multiple HDMI cables from it to all the TV's in different rooms of my house. Then I want to leave a remote in each room, each remote being able to fully control that one Roku. So I am watching something in my office, I hit pause, set the remote down and go down to the kitchen. Turn that TV on, pick up the remote that I leave in the kitchen and resume play. Then later pause again, set that remote down and go upstairs to my bedroom and use the remote in there to resume and control that one Roku.
Is that possible? I don't want to have a Roku in each room because how could I shuffle what I'm watching between the different Roku boxes in each room? I doubt you can do that. But having one with an octopus of HDMI cables going to other rooms, that works because I'm doing that now with one of my Dish receivers.
