    Is there anything you would change about UA-cam TV's DVR? Check out my full UA-cam TV review here: ua-cam.com/video/3yryzr0KOLM/v-deo.html

      I would like to see them increase their retention time to one year, like Philo, and allow single episode recording and deletion.

      I forgot to mention that I would also like to see them offer an add-on for those missing Discovery channels, the History channel and the Gameshow channel.
      They are the only MAJOR service that doesn't do that.

    UA-cam TV provided the most reliable live tv stream of all the services we have subscribed to. The only reason we canceled was the lack of an entertainment add-on. We had subscribed to Philo TV to gain access to those missing entertainment channels.

    I’m new to UA-cam. When I go to a recorded show in my library there isn’t an option to select what type of recoding I want to use so I can’t fast forward through commercial. I tried this on a cbs show.

    Once subscribers numbers are high enough, just about every program aired is recorded by at least one person. When multiple persons "record the same program" they all refer to the same single recording. When you watch it, they updated how much of that recording you watched. Therefore it is not much more expensive to have unlimited recordings for additional subscribers.

    I have Uverse AT&T I have learned over the years not to use DVR or On Demand.
    They charge for HD for movies saying it is free. It isn't !! The more I watch these
    channels the more confused I get about it all. I have cable not fiber. 2 boxes that
    I don't use and a landline I use sometimes. I'm older and it is hard to learn new
    things. $230.72 for 9 more months. I guess I do use the box. So many things and
    charges. I'm confused. My cell phone is on my sons plan because he needs help
    for his family plan. I don't know why people don't use Amazon Prime. with other
    plans. Thanks for taking the time to explain everything. I think I just watched
    way too many in one day. 🤣🤣

    On our Roku, when watching a DVR series, it will autoplay the next episode. But we also have a Google Chromecast in one room and on that, when watching a DVR series, it does not autoplay the next ep, it gives "recommendations". Any idea if this is strictly a Chromecast vs Roku or is there a setting that I am just not finding?

    Thank you Michael, great information 👍
    Suggest a video on quality of picture . My new 4k tv looks terrible unless I subscribe to 4k addon .
    I still have cable box and the picture is alot clearer with it
    Now trying UA-cam 4k addon to bring picture up to the quality of my old cable box. 🤔🤔
    I've been reading that perhaps UA-cam has been down rezzing the picture lately to get customers to buy the 4k addon .I haven't used UA-cam tv long enough to notice this .
    Again thank you 👍

    I think the UA-cam unlimited DVR is great. But the fact that you cannot record just a single episode or just new episodes is a dealbreaker for me. It seems to me you would spend a lot of time deleting unwanted recordings. As usual an excellent video.

    • @MichaelSaves
      @MichaelSaves  3 роки тому +2

      I do wish it would let me add/delete single episodes just so that I could organize my DVR, but my workaround is that I just stick to that first screen "New in Your Library" so I don't have to look at old recordings I've stopped. And since it's unlimited, it really doesn't matter for storage space. But what UA-cam TV is missing is that it matters to people as far as wanting their DVR to be organized in a certain way.

    I just signed up for UA-cam TV. In the Library I don't see choose a version like I see in the video. It seems like UA-cam TV is letting me fast forward through ads on recently recorded shows, but not on episodes that were recorded several days ago. If there is a button to press on the remote control to choose a version please let me know.

    A friend of mine has UA-cam TV but he had it set up with Chromecast with Google TV. The interface looked much different. For some reason after I added something to the Library I did not see it under the Library menu. The Library menu was on the far right. I was wondering if you have any videos that show how to use UA-cam TV when using Chromecast with Google TV.

    • @MichaelSaves
      @MichaelSaves  2 роки тому

      Not specifically, but I have Chromecast with Google TV and it's quite similar to what I show in this guide: ua-cam.com/video/5sZXxOGP0RU/v-deo.html. UA-cam TV recently changed its interface. I hope this video helps you.

    UA-cam TV no A&E which is surprising after all these years. Got to remember this also no DIY, FIY Destination America...etc. They seem to eek by. They also got rid of the regional Sports networks as we know. That's why the AT&T TV ultimate package, while it's about 30 bucks more a month has just about everything you need. You also get one year of HBO and HBO Max included with the higher packages. We also have unlimited DVR for 10 bucks more a month.

    • @MichaelSaves

      I understand why you use AT&T TV -- it's just not for everyone. I really hope Bally Sports is able to pull off the standalone app next year to alleviate the regional sports issue.

Eventually we may end up all just using apps for the channels that we like and pay for the individual channels that we want directly to those owners.

    What I REALLY love about UA-cam TV is that when they spam their 'invitation' for a free trial which seems to be at least once daily, the 2 button options are 'YES' and 'NO, THANKS'.
    But I do NOT want to thank them at all. The button that I would like to press would be more like 'HELL NO' or 'GET LOST, STOP SPAMMING ME' but I am forced to click on 'NO, THANKS' because it's the only option other than 'YES'.
    So, because of this, I will NEVER subscribe to UA-cam TV.

    UA-cam tv's DVR has a LONG way to go. If you want to record a show, you have to record ALL shows. Can't just record a specific episode of something. My wife can't just record that one Bobby Flay cooking show because she liked the recipe. She's going to get ALL Bobby Flay episodes. You can't delete either. You have to manually mark them as watched but they still clutter your library. Can't record first run episodes either. My son records Sportscenter on ESPN. On DirecTv, he could record first run ep only. But on UA-cam TV, you're going to get 8 episodes a day which will remain in your library. So by the end of the week, he's looking thru 40hrs of Sportscenter to find the one he wants to watch.

    I really dislike youtube tv recording. You can't record single episodes and you can't delete after you have watched the recording. It just becomes a jumbled mess. Less storage space and better management of library. UA-cam tv, also, just has too many junk channels. Basically just another cable company running up the price.
