Personally, from my experiences, I would recommend you get a true hotspot from your provider. This will have several benefits. One, theree is only so much those phones can handle when it comes to data transfer. Checking email and basic web surfing is ok, but try anything like Zoom, and you migh

well, it might be time to file a complaint with the FCC, FTC and a few other places. Then call AT&T and inform them that if they refuse to work with you, you will take your business elsewhere. At that point, I am sure they will connect you to customer loyalty dept and try to convince you to stay

Hi all: After receiving a $309 bill for Directv and Uverse Internet, I' think that is rediculous. Has Sling CBS all access, and Directv now improved on their usability with Apple TV, Mac, iOS and Windows? I also read fine print at the end saying at&t only gives me unlimited internet data sinc

Hi, cutting the cord is cutting the television cable. It’s sort of confusing these days because some people get there internet and TV over the same cord (cable) so you don’t really separate your self. Another place this is used is for people who get rid of their land lines and just use

Usually with Hulu the shows that need a cable login are made available no more than a day after it airs. It’s not an Apple product but Chromecast has been my go-to lately, especially if you have TV shows downloaded to your computer and you use a Chrome plugin like Video Stream. That works really

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. From E.T.'s Keyboard. . . "God for you is where you sweep away

Hi Tracy, I don't watch those channels, but I think that this isn't an Apple TV problem, it's a network problem. By that I mean that ABC, Food Network etc. want to make sure you aren't getting their content for free. I doubt that Apple could care less. :) I do think that in most cases there

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

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
