YoutubeTV 2025 price increase

[NYDutch]

it's not a QVC app. it's a built-in Amazon app that powers the annoying live shopping module

How come I'm not seeing this app anywhere? I see ads on the FAST apps of course, and the normal ads on YTTV, but I'm missing this live shopping thing somehow.

I have seen it on Amazon’s Main Page (do not have a Fire TV), where influencers push products on sale, there were a bunch of them running at the same time on Prime Day.

No different then QVC/HSN, just a bunch of people, believing they have a entertainment talent ( they do not), pushing products.

I am amazed this is a career.

By "Amazon's Main Page", do you mean their website or the Home page on the Firestick. All I see on the Firestick home page is programming promos along with my most used apps.

I rarely use my Firestick but that is all I see as well.

Roku’s still do not support Dish Anywhere.

If I recall correctly, it has something to do with a video codec that Dish uses that the Roku OS doesn't support.

So more a Roku problem, since Fire TV can use DISH video codec. Maybe they think there won't be a future for DISH, so they are biding their time till its true.

Roku doesn't create or program the apps used on their platform (except the Roku Channel, the Media Player, and a few information channels). So either Dish chooses not to make a Roku app, or there's a missing codec or something that prevents them from doing so.

As I said in #129, it's a codec that Dish uses that the Roku OS doesn't support.

Roku also mandates that the app works perfectly, I have read about so many problems with the Dish app.

Apple also mandates that the app works perfectly. Yet the app works on Apple TV.

So it only has issues with the Fire unit?

Every post I have read complaining about it, always seems to be with the Fire TV.

The only problems I recall having with DA on our Firesticks was when we had poor Internet connections.
