Did you sign a terms of agreement stating that you wouldn't skip commercials? No? then it's not a good comparison.The Networks claim skipping commercials is theft. I hope your conscience is clear.
TV Networks File Legal Claims Saying Skipping Commercials Is Copyright Infringement
Okay, we had expected the TV networks to possibly take legal action against DISH Networks for its new Auto Hopper technology, which allows DISH subscribers who use the Hopper feature (which records…www.techdirt.com

I just want to know wtf people in the Midwest do all summer that they never watch tv? Is getting destroyed by mosquitoes a popular activity?
So you acknowledge that there is a difference between something being ethical and something being enforcible? It's not ethical or per the agreement that you signed, but since they can't easily enforce it, you think it's OK.
I'm good with that approach, the thing that bothers me is when someone argues that something is not against the rules just because it's what they want to do.
That's life sometimes. If something's not easily enforceable, people are going to toe the line. That's why people taking liberties with screen-sharing isn't uncommon.
Not really. Purchase versus theft or other unethical procurement. And no, I am not riding any high horses.
Not that I’ve seen, these things seem to go to last second or even dark for a few days.
There's also a broader understanding of this particular market.
Screen sharing doesnt really hurt these companies, which is why they haven't really tried to stop it. They know it increases subscribers overall and it makes them less likely to cancel on a whim just because there's nothing they want to watch at that particular moment, because someone theyre sharing with (who may also be sharing another service with them) might be watching something themselves.
Its also the inevitable result of media companies balkanizing all media into a dozen different streaming services with so many shows having exclusivity on those services. Piracy was way down at one point before the media companies started getting greedy.
This would be easily enforceable. They choose not to.
I don't know if the exact contract date is known, but I think the article speculated it could be May 1.
Does anyone have issues with their Roku overheating? My premiere stick just started doing this a couple weeks ago, and it's already mounted remote.
Also maybe ~2 months ago (or more) Google mailed us a free Chromecast, works pretty darn good. Much nicer than the earlier versions. Never had good luck with a Firestick.

I have a Vizio TV I bought at Christmas time for our new home, it has Roku built in. I am unable to get the ESPN app. Anyone know why? I have done some research but the answer is always, buy a Firestick or Chromecast. I have every other app imaginable on that TV. It seems Roku and ESPN were in a spat during the production of the TV and that app was left out . A search of available apps will not find ESPN.
I have the same problem with a Samsung TV, I am not able to download apps that were not preloaded at the time of purchase, so apps like Disney+ is not available since it is an older TV (4 years).
Are there any workarounds for issues like that. Firmware resets???
