And it was pretty expensive. I can't wait for the 5G and for the ala carte channels. My mother in law had the roku and I think they picked channel packages, and they could switch them out, but I can't remember if they could get Hallmark, I will die without my hallmark, maybe not die, but be very sad. Loved watching the Parent Trap yesterday, haven't seen that in probably 15 years :)Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09753411427393481023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-8750628159945884332018-05-11T17:42:00.413-04:002018-05-11T17:42:00.413-04:00You're welcome, Steve.

We have some connection issues where I live, too, so streaming isn't all that easy to do. This will be wonderful to have the access to high speed internet for the availability of services like a Direct Now, Sling, etc... Hope my half of the country is included in this! <br /><br />My family and I say all the time that we only watch a hand full of stations, and yet we pay for so many other channels we don't like, some that we would never even dream of turning to. Having other options would be so wonderful! <br /><br />Thank you for giving us some hope, we've been waiting so long for something better to come through our area and I sure hope this is it! <br /><br />Blessings, Net :)Net - "It's a Wonderful Movie"https://www.blogger.com/profile/01680194388277190995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-6405970131307219732018-05-11T16:27:21.719-04:002018-05-11T16:27:21.719-04:00Sabrina...keep an eye out for the new 5G Networks ...Sabrina...keep an eye out for the new 5G Networks coming out. It is going to be the latest technology that will deliver very fast wireless internet speeds to households. No need for running fiber any more. Everything is run through the cell towers. They are going to start that at the end of this year. By 2020 half of the country is supposed to have access to it. They are initially targeting the suburban areas. The places that have very limited access now like you.<br /><br />There is going to be tons of competition. They are all jumping on board. Lots of choices for us the consumers coming soon.<br /><br />I am same as you. Only watch a few channels. Another good thing that is coming is "a la carte." Not there yet but it's starting. My cable company is now offering a streaming only service where you can pick your favorite ten channels that you want among a bunch of them.

I am laughing and so happy with that comment, my husband got mad cause I used a lot of our phone data doing that so I had to stop. <br /><br />Unfortunately, I live in the sticks, and the only internet we can get is a satellite, and my Mother and father in law have it, and it stinks. So we have to use our 20 gigs of date for the internet at home from our phones, and that does not allow for streaming. <br /><br />But.......at work, we have wifi, and guess what I listen to while working????? I can log in thru Directv app, and at least watch the movies that have been played in the last 72 hours. And..........the Hallmark channel everywhere app has lots of good movies, and I also got HMNow. I am a sucker for hallmark. <br /><br />But someday if they ever bring Verizon internet out to where I live I am pretty sure we will get Directv now or something that we can get just the channels we watch, cause I'm telling you, I watch maybe 7 channels in total, 2 being hallmark, HGTV, Food Network, TLC for Trading Spaces and Long Lost Family, and my husband has HBO for his Westworld and GOT. I do watch UP too sometimes when they aren't playing AFHV and play movies :) Heart of the Country is on that channel, such a wonderful movie.

Last week, mine was showing signs of dying again but thankfully the last few days have been fine so maybe, hopefully that was a false alarm. It is devastating to have to get a new box and lose recordings! I wish I had one of the older, more reliable boxes. <br /><br />I haven't had brightness issues, at least, which doesn't sound fun. :(Amy G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14246057604964886819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-291304393848405082018-05-09T15:44:08.802-04:002018-05-09T15:44:08.802-04:00From what I have heard, Steve...yes it does seem t...From what I have heard, Steve...yes it does seem that Hallmark Drama will be playing some past Hallmark Christmas movies; however, no brand new Christmas movies are currently planned for any of the Hallmark networks in July.Net - "It's a Wonderful Movie"https://www.blogger.com/profile/01680194388277190995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-90129476588368651542018-05-09T15:41:04.138-04:002018-05-09T15:41:04.138-04:00That's what is nice about these Streaming Serv...That's what is nice about these Streaming Services like Direct Now, Sling TV etc. You aren't tied down with any equipment. It's all in the cloud. The DVR recordings are all in the cloud. You can watch them through all your streaming devices like Roku, Apple tv, Smart phones, tablets etc...You can also watch them while on the go. I can see Sabrina while caught in a traffic jam watching a Christmas movie on her Ipad...haha. <br /><br />They are perfecting them. There's glitches at this time. Directv Now's DVR is only in beta but soon to come out. Sling TV's DVR worked great for me at Christmas time. I recorded over 40 movies and didn't have even one glitch. That really surprised me. That was never the case when I had cable.<br /><br />The only catch is depending on which streaming service you get there are limitations. Sometimes the space is limited. Sometimes the time they keep them is limited. Services like Hulu Live have where you can pay extra and get a ton of space that doesn't time out your recordings and also allows you to skip commercials. <br /><br />You have to shop around and read all the details very closely to see what limitations there are. There are sites out there that compare all of them and tell you what each offers.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00104992162964434013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-20193298605892857452018-05-09T15:40:41.914-04:002018-05-09T15:40:41.914-04:00I search Hallmark's web-site by movie.

These newer boxes simply do not last - we've gone through color changes and all sorts of trouble with newer receivers. Thankfully, we are fine now, but a family member just had to have an upgrade and all the tech had on the truck was the most expensive model - with the new genie, of course! And now, the brightness on their TV goes down, at various times. My advice... hold onto what you have as long as possible!!!Net - "It's a Wonderful Movie"https://www.blogger.com/profile/01680194388277190995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-58185833973272170692018-05-09T10:38:35.154-04:002018-05-09T10:38:35.154-04:00One more note on the Hallmark Drama, I noticed rec...One more note on the Hallmark Drama, I noticed recently I saw a commercial from Hallmark and they were promoting HM and HMM, and then they said "Introducing Hallmark Drama". I was like Introducing? this has been out since October. But maybe this is a push by them to get the other networks to carry? Or maybe is because other networks are picking it up?<br /><br />I call directv often asking for Hallmark Drama, but I always seem to get someone that I can not understand very well so it seems they outsource their calls to another country, and they don't even know what Hallmark is. So I can never get them to understand Hallmark drama, they just look on their computer and give me the same answer I see on their website. Very frustrating.

The directv guy told me recently "you know we have really uograded this genie and you can get the new genie". I said "No thank you". why trade them in if they are working, and it seems all the new ones break like you mentioned Any G. I am not losing my many, possibly hundreds of hours of recording these hallmark movies. I still have the original airings of the 1st year of Fall Harvest, Autumn Dreams, Harvest Moon and October Kiss on my dvr. My husband desperately wants the new genie, but I just can't. The oldest dvr box in my bedroom, it doesn't hold as much but I may have to keep both of them and let him have the new genie in the living room. I wish there was a way to send the dvr to something so you don't lose your movies. I have many of the hallmark dvd's, but I just don't want to lose my original airings.

A nice mix of some classic older ones and also ones from last year.<br /><br />I'm not surprised at all that Hallmark Drama will also be showing Christmas movies. The ratings for Hallmark when they do their "Christmas in July" and in the months of November and December are much higher than the rest of the year, and what a better way to promote your new "Hallmark Drama" channel than to show the popular Christmas movies?!
