Do you have the RU-vid TV DVR update yet? Let me know what you think about it so far.

@davidfrancis2597 Год назад

I do not have the new library yet.

@bigwill2431 Год назад

No, I don't have the new dvr update

@shrubs2k2 Год назад

I have it and I can't stand the new interface. It's harder to find the current recorded shows. I want the new in my library back.

@davidfrancis2597 Год назад

@@shrubs2k2 I can’t find stuff in the older version. Doesn’t sound like the newer version is any better. I don’t even bother with it anymore. I find out which streaming service (Hulu, Paramount, Peacock) carries the show and add it so it appears in my Apple TV when new episodes are available.

@disinvited 10 месяцев назад

@michaelsaves do you have any updated content on this subject? I just recently 7 months later got the update. But since then in July I saw articles from Toms Guide and Cordcutters that Google heard the complaints and rolled it back. Are these articles bunk? I am in a customer service abyss with them ignoring pretty much what I say. Did this noise just quiet or am I the only one they forgot to walk back this undesirable update on?

@onehitsword6800 Год назад

Something I feel all Live TV streaming services needs to add to the DVR ability to adjust the Record Time to Start Recording early or increase end time up to 3 hours. like what normal Cable offered Subscribers.

@spaceghost4474 Год назад

I would be perfectly happy if they would just allow you to record/delete single episodes and seasons of programs, and single games or seasons for your team or teams. That would allow you unclutter your library. I'm perfectly satisfied with the rest of the features. I don't really see the need for a complete overhaul.

@childplease4468 11 месяцев назад

Yes, YEs, and YES! I can't understand why these options aren't standard with ANY streaming platform that offers DVR functionality. It's the thing I'll miss most about DirecTV.

@Ulfius1984 10 месяцев назад

This the one and only reason I still have DirecTV and don't use RU-vid. Give me the same record new shows only, remove episode from my playlist, and record single episode and I'll sign up immediately.

@cornbread1955 Год назад

One other thing they need to fix is when you are watching a recording and you fall asleep and that recording is over with it starts playing another program That's not even in your library giving a show you don't watch the ratings they should fix it when you are through watching your show it stops if you're awake or asleep it should stop not continue playing other programs

@brotherjohnwaynecausey Год назад

I'm not having any trouble with my dvr when I find my shows l'm loving the new dvr settings

@jameswebb321 4 месяца назад

I like the ALL tab on the newer one. The filters are good but I usually just prefer to see all my recordings on one screen. The ability to rearrange the tabs in the order you like would be great!

@MikeInIN Год назад

Yes! I like "New in your library" as well. Love your suggestions! I hope they listen!

@carlkeehn1262 Год назад

Thanks Michael for all you do for us RU-vid TV subscribers. Totally agree on prior "New in your library" being so much better. Also, when is RU-vid TV going to wake up and allow us to delete or record a single show or episode. Seems pretty simple fix....

@user-px4uc6xh6l Год назад

I HATE the new library! I don't know what is new? It tell me I have 1 new and I already watched it. It's AWEFUL!!!

I received the new update several days ago. All the content is there, it's just a matter of getting used to the new layout. However, I find the former layout is more pleasing to the eyes. They should have provided us a choice.

@barna1299 Год назад

Hi, thanks Michael for your videos and sharing your firsthand knowledge of how the premiere streaming services actually work. I think I'm leaning towards RU-vid TV as it seems would give us more channels than Hulu, and certain channels that we definitely watch a lot. I think Sling Orange+Blue actually would give us more of the cable channels if I checked their website correctly, and some channels that I believe YTTV and Hulu don't.. But I think Sling seems would be more complicated if we want to be able to record anything on the OTA antenna channels, as I believe it would require us to get an additional device from them called "AirTV 2"..? But I like knowing that Sling's DVR allows recording individual episodes of a tv series.., unlike YTTV at present. I'm still trying to figure all this out, so I'm still referring to yours and others' videos. But one question I have though is, if these premiere streaming services know how the basic features are presented with the big cable companies - how the channel guides typically look, how the dvr features typically work, how you can pause/rewind live tv programs, etc - then WHY haven't these streaming services YTTV, Hulu, Sling simply made more effort to replicate how these basic features function, instead of each of them trying to "reinvent the wheel"...?

@MichaelSaves Год назад

I'm not sure. I think RU-vid TV and Hulu Live began trying to not be like cable. In fact, Hulu Live launched without a live guide but people complained. As for Sling, yes the AirTV 2 would let you record OTA channels and see them in your Sling guide. There's also Tablo, which lets you record antenna channels. It doesn't integrate into the Sling guide. I have a Tablo and have been meaning to do a video about how it works.

@barna1299 Год назад

@@MichaelSaves Thanks for that! Well I won't rule out considering Sling then. YTTV or Sling/AirTV... I appreciate your input!

@crbrewer2541 10 месяцев назад

I stumbled on your video while looking for why youtube tv isn't recording/ displaying ABC world news tonight with David Muir for my mom...I have the updated version and hate it! I think your suggestions are great- another thing I dislike is when I've recorded something like Dateline and they show it again on live tv, it won't allow me to go ahead and fast forward commercials. I have to go into the library recordings of Dateline and try to find that specific show that has literally 30+ seasons. Another thing, some shows in the library don't display underneath the time. for example Nightly news with Lester Holt, yet other shows do list their time 5:30, it's just a weird thing. And while I haven't made too much effort on this part, I would really like my shows recentlly recorded in sequence of that day at minimum, preferrably in line of this recording is most recent to last. I also don't necessarily want shows that have already been recorded to in the recently recorded list, but if it's going to be, it would be cool to flag it or say it's rerun of the rerun you've recorded and also watched...one more thing, I wish they had a easy senior citizens how to guide. I am constantly walking my mom through using the arrow back button, use the outer circle as your curser etc. even though i copied, pasted and printed out a guide myself, she's lost it and it's too much work for me to do it again. Thanks Michael for your thoughts, I agree. :)

@jamieyr4163 Год назад

The new update is horrible, I agree with the suggested changes! (or at least roll back the update)

@carlkeehn1262 Год назад

Hi Michael, Great job as always. Is there a way to have RU-vid TV start and open the guide rather than just go to the home page?? Thanks, Carl

If you have the program added to your DVR, you can skip ads in most cases. On demand content that’s not added to your library will have ads.

@salc.4599 Год назад

Here's another problem I have noticed with the DVR. HD recorded content doesn't look as good as the live content. What I mean is that DVR playback is not the same format as live TV format which is 1080I? I've also noticed that during playback sometimes the format changes from HD to SD then back to HD?

@DJaquithFL Год назад

I don't have the update and what they have now to me is near useless. Often I will wait until a series has four or five new shows recorded so I can binge watch especially if they're 30 minutes shows. As it is now, I literally need to search for my show to find it because of all the other nonsense that it throws in front of me that I actually never watch. I think there's a thing called DVR gluttony and I'm certainly guilty of that; Example one of the 24-hour news stations I record everything in case I suddenly am interested in something that's going on and they can rewind it to the beginning.

@MichaelSaves Год назад

Would be nice if it actually recorded what you set up to record. It misses , F1 qualifying for example, and if it does record it is not in my library. It is waaay less user friendly and makes me look at alternative providers.

@stephanieeargle3865 Год назад

We’re new to RU-vid TV…so the menus aren’t different for us, BUT our biggest issue is that when I record something in the morning, and want to watch it that afternoon it’s not there??? Not sure how long you have to wait to watch recordings, but that could be a deal-breaker for us. This will be a REAL ISSUE when football season comes in the fall.

@justinturley7071 9 месяцев назад

For me, not having the option to record a single program for something is bad. When I had satellite, and I wanted to record something from this specific program, it asked, record once, record new episodes or record all episodes. Just think of sports, what if they have to switch to another channel, because their either running out of time or, like NASCAR, needs to switch to another channel, like satellite, I could just record the program once, then toggle how long I want to record that race. Give me some options. I hate how I have to find the specific episode of a show, that the race came on. It’s so weird, and it’s like that on Sling too. I just don’t get it.

But seriously the single biggest problem is lying about being able to record to DVR!!! More than half of what's recorded..and there's no option l!!... Is VOD even though its a regular paid-for, included station and show. That's frankly FRAUD...you literally CANNOT watch something later without commercials because it's more than likely to be a VOD nstead of DVR recording. BullSh#?!!!!!!! When you try to get help --which is near impossible to find. Oh, first read s book of crap thats irrelevant, THEN they say, thanks for feedback!! Huh?!! Not here for feedback but a paid customer. Also more than half TCM fims don't record....they are listed in library but NOT there or if by miracle then they're Vod. All TV is ripoff today. Sorry but you touched on not 1 thing to help. Seems there's none!

@biblebelter9772 Год назад

I will be leaving You Tube for its sports shift not its DVR. As an old geezer I liked MLB baseball through the MLB Network. It angered me that YTTV dropped MLB Network THEN raised my subscription. Less for more. My mama didn't raise no idiot. Now YTTV is pimping prison gang football otherwise known as the NFL as if I'm going to pay more for something that I have little interest in. Maybe YTTV knows and understands it demographics, but I am not part of the demographics that they are catering to. I came to YTTV from Sling TV because of two things. Lower pricing and at the time it had RSN"s in my market. In less than six months the RSN's were dropped which was alright because it least they held their pricing. All I can say is, Sling Orange with Sports Extra here I come and I'll be saving twenty a month to boot. YTTV smells like cable to me.
