Re: TVMucho Price Hike
So what are you using instead of TV Mucho? (Edit) I see you’re relying on AIS, but you had that before didn’t you?
Re: TVMucho Price Hike
And a few downloads. In the time it takes to put something to the TVMucho cloud, I can have something downloaded. Crazy thing is, this entire initiative by TVMucho apart from raising the price from 48 to 108 Euros per annum was to avoid piracy.
I had decided that providing the new service worked as well as the old service it was still worth 108 Euros, but they totally killed it for me.

Re: TVMucho Price Hike
Is pricing different per region BB? I've just had another look (from the UK) and per year it's 71.88 Euros for a single screen and 143.88 for 4 screens.
[EDIT] I've previously signed up in the UK (monthly basis) for use overseas, so regional pricing would be strange....

My rate this year was 48 Euros. The price rise was 60 Euros (withheld for 1 year). It was explained in my Fri Jul 31, 2020 9:49 pm post above.

Re: TVMucho Price Hike
Fair enough BB, but the pricing still doesn't "add up" - the pricing shown now ([EDIT] that I'm seeing in the UK) neither equates with your original or the "price hike". I'd assume you must have had a special offer when originally signing up which makes the hike look worse?

Re: TVMucho Price Hike
Actually, I've just read it again, and can't decide if the new price was 60 Euros or the increase was 60 Euros. Either way, no backup makes it useless to me.

Re: TVMucho Price Hike
Certainly understand your point of view - I just didn't want to sign up again without knowing what was going on (hidden charges etc). That said, would never be a big loss as I only ever go month-month!

Re: TVMucho Price Hike
I've been with TV Mucho for about 2 1/2 years now and feel they've been excellent - oustanding customer service too. The added bonus for me was that, for a modest extra charge, I also get all the Irish channels.
I'm also disappointed with the discontinuation of back-up and the inconvenience of pre-recording. I wrote and told them this. I received a reply today as follows:
Hi Barry,
We totally understand your point. We tried to save the "Record All" feature, unfortunately, under intense pressure from select players within the broadcasting industry, we must discontinue that service. So without us doing these changes, our company is being threatened to be closed by these broadcasters. Clearly, there is no option left for us but to comply. I hope you do understand why we need to make these changes.
As per our CEO's last email, we have asked our lawyers whether the Later service can offer you sophisticated scheduling and full-day recording. If this is approved, you could for example schedule to record a whole day or a block of TV, e.g. BBC from 5 to 11 PM on Fridays and ITV on Saturday and on Monday a Dave program, so you will never miss your favorite TV. We will keep you posted on updates to the Later service.
So it appears they've been forced into this. I've prepaid my subscription until October 2020, so I'll stick with them until then and see if they come up with any workarounds in the meantime. It's a shame, but at least they're legal and honest, which is a lot more than you can say about (most of) the others.

Re: TVMucho Price Hike
Sky News is on YouTube, with a 12 hour timeline.Big Boy wrote:Yes, I too rated TVMucho. In fact the way they have dealt with my displeasure has been excellent- customer service at its best. 11 month's subscription have been refunded to my account, and I am sitting here getting my daily 1 hour fix of Sky News from TVMucho free of charge - a good result.
Re: TVMucho Price Hike
1 hour each morning is fine for me, and I still get that on the free TVMucho service.

Re: TVMucho Price Hike
If you watched 30 minutes of Sky news in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening, I reckon 95% of it would be the same, so if an hour In one go suits your schedule, you won’t be missing out on much!!

I've been told the old TVMucho URL is being rejected by some systems. An alternative URL is https://sat.tvmucho.com.

Re: TVMucho Price Hike
I've been using TVMucho for a few years now and have always been very happy with the reliability. Any issues were sorted out very quickly....
HOWEVER, the service has been pretty much unwatchable for the last month or so due to constant buffering.
Although customer service is still as prompt in their response as ever, I feel we're just going round in circles.....
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
