MacDailyNews Take: Good news for EPIX subscribers!
Yup.. keep on pouring content in …. and dont worry about how the content is accessed or discovered….. make a mess messier .
The UI and the users just loves the mess … arrgggg ..
Fix the UI Apple… my jurassic DVR offers a better experience in discovery, organization, favorits and reminders .
4th gen only?
That is bogus. Especially when an older, cheaper Roku device already provides access to EPIX.
They need a subscription on and off button so you can turn off HBO when there’s no Game of Thrones, etc.
Looks like a good movie selection, might be interested if they had a stand alone subscription.
Brilliant take MDN. You really added to the conversation there.
Sling TV has been offering EPIX as part of a $5 Movie package that includes all the EPIX channels, Turner Classic Movies, etc.
Cut the cord for TV with Comcast (kept their Internet service) and have settled on Sling TV for now. I still want a la carte and want a Pay Per View option on sports- I have no desire to subsidize multiple channels of ESPN Sports Gossip or any channel from Fox. I watch a few College FB games a year- no good reason to subsidize the Disney Empire.
On the ISP side Comcast caps data at 1TB with overages priced at $10 per extra 50 GB and nobody else comes close. AT&T fiber is coming here, but we will see.
