On my roku that works with the new interface, I can hold down the fast forward button and see the minutes elapsed in the show count up. So I can say watch it pass 3 minutes in a few seconds and then stop.

Interesting, my Fox local on DirecTV is gone in Wilmington NC. Not just a streamer problem.
Has anyone had issues with their Vue lately? Mine has been skipping and voices from other shows have been doubling on top of what I was watching
Seems to me that is running about 2 minutes behind time now where it used to be only about 1 minute.
Two nights ago I had terrible buffering problems just watching the news on PS4. I had to switch to Roku. The last night it was fine again.
Posted in another thread, but I got an opportunity to try YouTube tv.
The channel selection is not as varied, and the device variety isn't great, but it ticks most of the boxes I need, and the price is good.
Depending on your channel needs, if it's available for you, this may be the best option.
The ui is great, the pq is comparable to vue, and the dvr is basically unlimited.
No roku app yet, but, if you open the app on your phone, you can hit cast and it sees roku. After you do that you can control it with the roku remote and not use the phone again till next time.
Odd thing is, it isn't a real cast, and the interface is exactly like the Xbox and LG tvs I have that do have the actual app.
I can think of one channel that I watch with any regularity that isn't included, but on the other side I do have "locals".
Actually the locals from the neighboring DMA, it's not technically available here, but through a location glitch it showed me there, so I took advantage of the opportunity.

I've been hearing good things about YouTubeTV and would definitely give it a trial run if it were on Roku. I would never use any TV service that required casting (or wasn't running through a hardwired device) so no point in testing it that way.
Is there an extra fee for fastforwarding DVR'd shows and are there any channels that can't be recorded/fastforwarded? I get confused between YouTube's and Hulu's restrictions in this regard.
I wouldn't actually call it casting, in the traditional sense.
That's just how it loads. Once it's up, you don't even need the phone in the home until you shut it down and want to start it back.
Other than that it functions the same as any other built in app.
As to the other question, there is no extra fee, although I'm not sure what restrictions are there for recorded content. I haven't recorded anything yet. I'll try to remember to test it this evening.
You can now sign up for PlayStation Vue without a TV
Mobile sign up, and it looks like it is becoming more mobile friendly. :

The last 2 nights Vue has gone "dead" for me. No audio and no video. Just a black screen. Has this happened for anyone else? It's not my internet because I checked and all else was fine. Last night it was back after watching a recorded show for an hour. In both cases it was back functioning normally the next morning. By the way, my internet speed is 100+ and stable. I've had the service for nearly a year now, but I won't be putting up with this sh** very long. Too many options out there now.

PS Vue Gets Out-of-Home Local Stations, Mobile Sign-Ups
PS Vue Gets Out-of-Home Local Stations, Mobile Sign-Ups
Though I don't have Vue currently, I'm still a member of a Facebook group for PS Vue, and I've been seeing a lot of chatter about outages the past few days.
Have done the rebooting but not the uninstall. Zookster reported that another source has had many outage complaints. All was good last night for me. Hopefully problems have been resolved. We'll see.
Vue changed streaming rules now you can take a tv connected device to another location
Just got off the phone. If you don't set a home location, you CAN take a tv connected device out of the house.If you are streaming on a 4 th device it will ask you if you want to lock in a home device to get 5 streams. So just say no and you can still use it out if the home, but will only have 3 streams

Picture quality has been pretty good. Motion with 30 fps has been jittery at times when panning on movies and shows. Sports on NBC and CBS and Tennis Channel have a stutter sometime. 720p 60fps motion is very clean with sports. Comparable to Directv.
