I seem to recall the guide info for streaming channels going out to the same length as regular channels. Now, the streaming channel guide info goes out for only around two days. I suppose that's another "improvement" from one of the software updates.
Absolutely. I see no rational reason for eliminating the HD SD channel designations. Perhaps this was unintentional, since new software releases have inadvertently created bugs before.
Since I received the 388 I notice that in the guide listings the channels no longer designate which is HD. Did 388 do this, or has this been happening before and I just noticed it?
I agree. I don't find very much compelling content on any of these channels, and find the schedule many times doesn't sync with what's actually being shown. Then there are the commercials. I have to believe it costs Dish nothing to include these channels.
Whether it's OTA, cable, satellite, or streaming and how it's recorded is irrelevant. The issue is recording of content, and if it isn't used for commercial purposes, it's perfectly legal.
I don't believe there are any legal issues regarding recording content from streaming channels. That was made clear way back in the 70's when the courts ruled that people can legally use their VCR's to record content for private purposes.
I don't believe there are any legal issues preventing the recording of streaming content because other platforms have recording capability of the same content. Frndlytv is one example.
