13. Can you save programs to watch later?
Mon Feb 25, 2019, 10:46 PM
Feb 2019

what about two programs that are on at the same time, do you have to pick one and lose the other?

Is there any schedule to view in advance to see what is playing or get it saved if its at a time when we aren't home? Are shows are held back and delayed; that's annoying.

DH and I have markedly different viewing tastes and I don't want to be fussing about who gets to watch what and when, you know what I'm saying? We subscribed to HBO and Starz on Amazon prime,but that is only playing on the computers because we don't know how to get it on the TV. I know, we are tech challenged and probably a 10 year old kid could do what we cannot. Pretty sad for two retired professionals, eh?


Lots of these little nagging little questions are the main obstacles that keep us tied to the Cable. We don't know how, or if, this would work for us. We would like to get away from cable tv, but we don't want to deal with a complicated, time consuming hassle every time we want to watch a show.
