Traci,
Those networks that require you have a cable subscription can still
be accessed but there will be a delay. In other words, a show that airs
tonight for the first time cannot be viewed for a day, a week, I am not
sure.

Hi, I mean on occasion when we want to watch a TV show from a network channel,
it says in order to access this content you need to enter in your cable
provider credentials. That is if I'm going off of channel apps, such as ABC,
Food Network, PBS, etc.

Hi Tracy and Scott,
Like Kliph, we cut the chord over a year ago now. We also still use our Apple
TV 4th Gen, and have been quite happy with it, though of course, one's
satisfaction with any such device will depend in large degree to what content
one wants to watch. We find most of the shows we want, though we do also have
a library of favorite TV shows and movies. Tracy, not sure what you mean by
being concerned that Apple TV is tied to your cable provider. It is tied to
your ISP, as you need an internet connection, but that would be the same with
any device, so far as I know.
HTH,
Donna

Well, I have 2 appleTV4’s, and no cable subscription, and I get most things I
like to watch. I also have a library of movies, TV shows, and music about 15TB
that keep me busy when board. But with Netflix, direct TV now, and my own
collection, I don’t need a cable subscription.

My apologies for the confusion. I have no Rocku experience, I was just reading
for my friend.
What disappoints me about the Apple TV, is how much it is still tied to your
cable provider. I think that's why I am so interested in sling TV, or this new
Hulu Live/DVR service. I'm tempted to sign up for the seven day trial, just to
try it out on the iOS and AppleTV.
Looking forward to other answers,
Traci
PS. For those British TV fans in America, I just came across an app called
BritBox. It is created by BBC and I TV. As far as I know, 2 of the biggest
networks in the UK.

So I’m trying to also make this decision, it’s been bothering me for over a
year now. We brought this up a long time ago so I’m glad it’s up for
discussion now. If it’s ok, I would like to include the other non apple
options and contrast how they work against their apple counter parts.
In my opinion, Apple TV in general was disappointing me to the point I sold my
generation 4. I have a few generation 3 units around if I need iTunes access
and honestly I like the simplicity of that unit and the fact you don’t depend
on application providers to make their products accessible. That being said, I
do like having the apple content available on the phone so have enabled some of
the IOS apps like Netflix, Hulu, cbs and HBO. These seem pretty good.
I do use the Amazon box and that’s becoming very accessible. I haven’t tried
Hulu Live but the basic stuff, cbs, Netflix, Hulu, the native amazon content
and so forth are great.
If you wouldn’t mind could you detail your Roku experience. I’m spending over
$450 per month on internet, tv and cloud DVR service and I’d love to cut out
all the TV costs.

Hi all,
This morning I was doing some research for a friend and it got me thinking
about my own household. For years, I’ve wanted to cut the cable cord. It
looks like Hulu live with cloud DVR might finally be the answer for those
reluctant cord cutters.
My question for the groups are what has been your accessible experience? For
iOS and Apple TV, I’m familiar with Netflix and traditional Hulu. I haven’t
tried either of these services on the Mac.
I’m completely unfamiliar with Sling TV and it’s level of accessibility.
Reading about it this morning though, I like the pricing and channel offerings.
I did some reading about the Roku for my sighted friend, but that accessibility
part is a little off topic for these groups. :)
What has been your experiences? I will say one big drawback of cutting the
cable cord is losing audio description. As far as I’m aware, only Netflix
offers this. It’s too bad on the iOS apps or Apple TV, the networks don’t
include it.
Thanks for sharing with the group,
Traci
